Remote Thermostat and Low Voltage Control Connections
Remote Thermostat
All Friedrich PD model PTAC units are factory
to be controlled by either the chassis mounted Smart Center or a 24V remote wall mounted thermostat. The thermostat may be auto or manual changeover as long as
the control
matches that of the PTAC unit.
NOTE: All PDE models require a single stage cool, single stage heat. thermostat. All PDH models require a single stage cool, dual. stage heat thermostat with an O reversing valve control. The
Friedrich RT6 thermostat can be
for either model.
To control the unit with a wall mounted thermostat follow the steps below:
1.Unplug the unit before doing any work.
2.With the front.cover removed locate the dip switches located below the Smart Center control panel. Switch Dip switch 2 to the up on 'ON' position.
3.Remove the low voltage terminal block from the unit.
4.Connect the corresponding terminals from the wall thermostat to the terminal block.
5.Replace the terminal block on the unit.
6.Restore power to the unit.
7.The unit is now controlled by the wall thermostat only.
8.If the accessory escutcheon kit (PDXRTA) is to be used, install it over the existing control panel.
NOTE:. The unit mounted controls no longer control the unit. To restore the unit mounted controls move dip switch 2 to the down or 'OFF' position.
