    !IMPORTANT! All wiring must conform to local, national, and regional regulations. Use copper conductors only for all wire connections. Do not exceed the electrical ratings for the EM-15 / EM-20 or the equipment connected to it. !CAUTION! This product should be installed by an experienced technician.

    15A breaker (for example: a microwave and a fireplace or water heater). This mode of operation functions as follows: Power is applied to the EM-15. After a short delay of approximately 4 seconds, power will be supplied to both the primary and sec- ondary circuits.
  • Page 5: Power Relay Mode W/ Short Delay

    EM-20 Power Relay Mode w/ Short Delay: This mode shall be used when two appliances (without compressors) are sharing the same circuit breaker (for example: a microwave and a fireplace or water heater). Power is applied to the EM-20. After a short delay of approximately 4 seconds, power will be supplied to both the primary and secondary circuits.
  • Page 6: Logic Relay Mode W/ Long Delay

    EM-20 Logic Relay Mode w/ Long Delay: This mode shall be used when attempting to combine two air conditioners on one 20A breaker. These air conditioners shall be equipped with energy management system inputs and have the ability to use logic relays for compressor control. THIS MODE SHALL BE SELECTED IF THE AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL CIRCUITRY DOES NOT PRO- VIDE THE NECESSARY OFF-TIME DELAY ITSELF TO PREVENT SHORT CYCLING THE COMPRESSOR.

    EM-15 / EM-20 INSTALLATION Mounting the Enclosure The EM-15 / EM-20 has primarily been designed for three different mounting configura- tions. A simple rotation of the mounting bracket facilitates the different configurations. 1. Wall/Floor Mounting. 2. Back of WFCO WF-89xxPEC Power Centers.
  • Page 8: Mounting To A Wall Or Floor

    No bracket is necessary. The mounting holes for the bracket on the EM-15 / EM-20 have corresponding holes on the back of the 85xx series power centers. Remove the brackets and use the bracket screws to mount the EM-15 / EM-20 directly to the back of the power center.
  • Page 9: Mounting The Em-20 Remote Control

    Mounting the EM-20 Remote Control The remote-control panel should be mounted in an easily accessible location. The supplied remote cable shall be routed from the remote location to the EM-20.

    The air conditioner logic wiring chart assumes the air conditioner expects a relay contact closure when the compressor should be off. Please refer to the air conditioner manufacturers manual for more information. EM-15 / EM-20 TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Potential Reason Action to Perform No power on both circuits.
