  • Page 6: Mount The Control Panel

    MOUNT THE CONTROL PANEL NOTE: Mount in location where the temperature will not exceed 158°F and will not drop below freezing (32°F). Do not mount on foundation walls, or on the HVAC equipment or ductwork. These locations can cause the enclosure to become cooler than the surrounding air, which can cause moisture to condense on the enclosure.
  • Page 7 SET THE STAGE TIME For systems with two-stage equipment (for heat pump applications, this does not include Auxiliary Heat), you have three options for controlling the second stage. The control panel will stage up the equipment outputs based on the number of zones calling for conditioning (# Zones to Stage), the time length of a call (Stage Minutes), or by staging thermostats.

  • Page 15: Sequence Of Operation

    SEQUENCE OF OPERATION The 6404 Control Panel is a heat call priority system with automatic mode changeover after 20 minutes of operation. If two calls for opposing mode exist while the system is idle, the Heat call will be satisfied first. The heating equipment will not stop operating until 1.) all heat calls have been satisfied, 2.) the minimum-on time lapses, 3.) the equipment has been on for 20...
