Airflow Setup for Evolution Control Furnace of FE

Fan coil (communicating)
When using an Evolution User Interface, airflow is

automatically selected based on equipment size. See User

Interface

Installation

Instructions

for

available

adjustments.
Airflow Selection for Variable Speed Furnaces for

Models Using Non--Communicating (non--Evolution)

Thermostats

The variable speed furnaces provide blower operation to match the

capacities of the compressor during high and low stage cooling

operation, The furnace control board allows the installing
technician to select the proper airflows for each stage of cooling.

Below is a summary of required adjustments. See furnace
installation instructions for more details:

1. Turn SW1--5 ON for 400 CFM/ton airflow or OFF for 350

CFM/ton airflow. Factory default is OFF.

2. The A/C DIP switch setting determines airflow during high

stage cooling operation. Select the A/C DIP switch setting

corresponding to the available airflow shown in the furnace
installation instructions that most closely matches the re-
quired airflow shown in the air conditioning Product Data

for HIGH speed.

3. The CF DIP switch setting determines airflow during low

stage cooling operation. Select the CF DIP switch setting
corresponding to the available airflow shown in the furnace

installation instructions that most closely matches the re-
quired airflow shown in the air conditioning Product Data
for LOW speed.

If a higher or lower Continuous Fan speed is desired, the
Continuous Fan speed can be changed using the fan switch on the

thermostat. Refer to the furnace installation instructions for details

of how to use this feature.

Airflow Selection for FV4 Fan Coils for Models Using

Non--Communicating (non--Evolution) Thermostats

The FV4B provides high-- and low--stage blower operation to

match the capacities of 187A compressor at high-- and low--stage.

The FV4C provides high-- and low--stage blower operation to
match the capacities of 180A compressor at high-- and low--stage

(units containing circuit board HK38EA015 or newer). To select
recommended airflow, refer to the FV4 Installation Instructions.

The FV4 utilizes an Easy Select control board that allows the

installing technician to select proper airflows. For adjustments to
control board and recommended A/C SIZE and CFM ADJUST

selections. This fan coil has an adjustable blower off delay factory
set at 90 sec. for high-- and low--stage blower operation.
For other combinations of equipment consult the Product Data

Sheet.

CAUTION

!

UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in minor personal

injury, equipment damage or improper operation.
To prevent compressor damage or personal injury,

observe the following:
S

Do not overcharge system with refrigerant.

S

Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative pressure.

S

Do not disable low pressure switch

S

Dome temperatures may be hot in scroll and bottom

temperatures may be hot in recip.

CAUTION

!

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in environmental

damage.
Federal regulations require that you do not vent

refrigerant to the atmosphere. Recover during system

repair or final unit disposal.

Follow these steps to properly start up the system:

1. After system is evacuated, fully back seat (open) liquid and

vapor service valves.

2. Unit is shipped with valve stem(s) front seated (closed) and

caps installed. Replace stem caps after system is opened to
refrigerant flow (back seated). Replace caps finger--tight and

tighten with wrench an additional 1/12 turn.

3. Close electrical disconnects to energize system.
4. Set room thermostat or User Interface at desired temperat-

ure. Be sure set point is below indoor ambient temperature
and is set low enough to energize desired stage.

5. Set room thermostat or User Interface to COOL and fan

control to ON or AUTO mode, as desired. Operate unit for

15 minutes. Check system refrigerant charge.

NOTE: Non--communicating (non--Evolution) Bryant electronic
thermostats are equipped with a 15--minute staging timer. This
timer prevents the 2--stage system from operating at high--stage
until unit has been operating in low--stage for 15 minutes unless
there is at least a ±5_F (±2.78_C) difference between room

temperature and thermostat set point. To force high--stage (after a
minimum of 2 minutes in low--stage), adjust the set point at least
±5_ (±2.78_C) below room ambient.

6. Set room thermostat to COOL and fan control to AUTO or

ON as desired. Wait for appropriate time delay(s). Operate
unit for 15 minutes. Check refrigerant charge.
