Sequence of Operation
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION:
NOTE:
Furnace control must be grounded for proper
operation; control is grounded through green 
wire routed to control box screw. 
STANDBY MODE:
All control outputs are off and the control is waiting for 
a thermostat demand. The control initiates action 
when a thermostat call is received. 
COOLING MODE:
Single-Stage Air-Conditioning (A/C) Cooling 
Demand:
When the thermostat calls for cooling (Y), the control 
energizes the COOL_HI blower tap after a 1 second 
on delay period. 
When the thermostat removes the call for cooling (Y), 
the control de-energizes the COOL_HI blower tap after 
a cooling off delay period of 30 seconds. 
A call for cooling has priority over a thermostat blower 
demand. 
If a call for heat (W) exists with a call for cooling, the 
call for heat shall proceed as normal except the blower 
remains energized on the COOL_HI speed tap. If the 
call for cool goes away while a call for heat exists, the 
cooling off delay is canceled and the blower operation 
reverts to the heat cycle. 
Two-Stage A/C Cooling Demand:
When the thermostat calls for cooling (Y), the control 
waits for a 1 second cooling on delay period and 
energizes the COOL_LO blower tap. If a 2
nd
stage
cooling (Y2) call is sensed, the control de-energizes 
the COOL_LO blower tap and energizes the COOL_HI 
blower tap after a 1 second delay. 
When the thermostat removes the call for 2nd stage 
cooling (Y2), the control de-energizes the COOL_HI 
blower tap and energizes the COOL_LO blower tap. 
When the thermostat removes the call for cooling (Y), 
the control de-energizes the COOL_LO blower tap 
after a cooling off delay period of 30 seconds. 
If a call for heat (W) exists with a call for 2nd stage 
cooling, the call for heat shall proceed as normal 
except the blower remains energized on the COOL_HI 
speed. If the call for cool goes away while a call for 
heat exists, the cooling off delay is canceled and the 
blower operation reverts to the heat cycle. 
Single-Stage Heat-Pump (HP) Cooling Demand:
When the thermostat calls for cooling (Y and O), the 
control waits for the 1 second cooling on delay period 
and energizes the COOL_HI blower tap. 
When the thermostat removes the call for cooling (Y 
and O), the control de-energizes the COOL_HI blower 
tap after a cooling off delay period of 30 seconds. 
A call for cooling has priority over a thermostat blower 
demand. 
If a call for emergency heat (W) exists with a call for 
cooling, the call for heat shall proceed as normal 
except the blower remains energized on the COOL_HI 
speed tap. If the call for cool goes away while a call 
for emergency heat exists, the cooling off delay is 
canceled and the blower operation reverts to the heat 
cycle. 
Two-Stage HP Cooling Demand:
When the thermostat calls for cooling (Y and O), the 
control waits for the 1 second cooling on delay period 
and energizes the COOL_LO blower tap. If a second 
stage cooling (Y2) call is sensed, the control de-
energizes the COOL_LO blower tap and energizes the 
COOL_HI blower tap after the 1 second delay. 
When the thermostat removes the call for 2nd stage 
cooling (Y2), the control de-energizes the COOL_HI 
blower tap and energizes the COOL_LO blower tap. 
When the thermostat removes the call for cooling (Y), 
the control de-energizes the COOL_LO blower tap 
after a cooling off delay period of 30 seconds. 
If a call for emergency heat (W) exists with a call for 
2nd stage cooling, the call for heat shall proceed as 
normal except the blower remains energized on the 
COOL_HI speed. If the call for cool goes away while a 
call for emergency heat exists, the 2nd stage cooling 
off delay is canceled and the blower operation reverts 
to the heat cycle. 
HEATING MODE:
Heating Operation: Air-Conditioning (A/C) Mode - 
Configured for Flow Sensor (FS) Input: 
Circulating Pump Operation:
On a call for heating, terminal “W” of the thermostat is 
energized. The control monitors the FS input and 
energizes the circulating pump if the FS signal is 
present.
