Matrix Installation and Operation Instructions
Call for Heat (24VAC @ W1): Normal Thermostat call, Matrix operates as a step-modulating furnace as described above. If
HRV set to 'ON', HRV will operate at the low (continuous) ventilation rate.
Call for Auxiliary Heat (24 VAC @ W2): When calling, furnace will provide heat at a stage 10 output rate. With a call for
auxiliary heating the Matrix will function as a single stage, full fire appliance. This means the burner will come on with a
thermostat call and go off when the call is satisfied. If HRV set to 'ON', HRV will operate at the low (continuous) ventilation rate.
Outdoor Sensor: The auxiliary heating function (24VAC @ W2) will utilize the outdoor sensor if available. The outdoor reset
function is not used for W1 heating. This function is also active during a hydronic heat demand (24VAC @ H).
Plenum Sensor: The Matrix is equipped with a plenum temperature sensor that must be field installed in the supply plenum and
wired to the furnaces external terminal strip. When installed the Matrix fan control displays the plenum temperature and will use it
to detect problems in the supply of heat to the space.
Call for Circulating Fan (24VAC @ G)
in the Fan (blue) controller (400-1600 CFM)
(Continuous) ventilation rate.
Call for Dehumidification (24VAC @ DH)
ventilate at the high (Override) ventilation rate.
Call for Cooling Fan (24VAC @ Y1): Matrix operates at the prescribed air circulation rate (Y1x10 CFM – See 8.2 Fan
Control). HRV will not operate during a call for cooling unless there is a concurrent call for DH – Dehumidification or G –
Continuous and HRV is set to ON.
Call for Cooling Fan (24VAC @ Y2): Matrix operates at the prescribed air circulation rate (Y2x10 CFM – See 8.2 Fan
Control). HRV will not operate during a call for cooling unless there is a concurrent call for DH – Dehumidification or G –
Continuous and HRV is set to ON.
10.2 Duct Sizing
When sizing ductwork, a maximum flow velocity of 800 fpm is
desired. Table 11 shows common duct sizes at specified flows. The
maximum flows that can be expected are shown in Table 10.3. It is
important to maintain the return plenum pressure as low as possible.
Keeping this ductwork as free flowing as possible will offer more
supply static pressure to overcome A/C coils, closed registers etc while
maintaining constant flow.
Any additional filtration, humidification, or de-humidification
equipment should be installed external to the return or supply ducts so
not to create additional restriction.
