WIRING DIAGRAM WARNING Risk of electrical shocks. Before performing any maintenance or servicing, always disconnect the unit from its power source. CAUTION Never change both Ref 1 and Ref 2 configurations, only one configuration can be changed at the same time. If Ref 1 and Ref 2 configurations are changed, Medium and Low speed will be reversed.
6. BALANCING THE UNIT To avoid balancing, the difference between stale air ducts total length and fresh air ducts total length must not exceed 50 ft. However, even if the stale air ducts and fresh air ducts lengths are almost equal, your local building codes may require balancing the unit. If the unit does not need to be balanced, shut all the pressure taps (located on the unit door) with the small plastic plugs included in the hardware kit.
