These units provide an Evolution capable 2 stage product in the Preferred line utilizing 2 stage scroll technology. These units are designed using the full-coil cabinet with is currently used for the Legacy Line products. Although the deluxe cabinet used in other Preferred Series products provides excellent sound levels, serviceability and stylish appearance, its design does not allow for coil surface area required to achieve targeted ratings. These units require a variable speed furnace (355AAV, 315AAV) Performance Boost furnace (313AAV, 353AAV) or variable speed fan coil (FE4 or new FV4C) to achieve targeted ratings.
These units are capable of operating with either Evolution User Interface or basic 24 volt thermostat inputs.

Operating Ambient
The minimum outdoor operating ambient in cooling mode is 55_F (12.78_C) without low ambient cooling enabled, and the maximum outdoor operating ambient in cooling mode is 125_F (51.67_C). At line voltage of 208v (or below) and an outdoor ambient of 120_F (48.9_C) (and above), the compressor operates in low stage. On Evolution communicating systems ONLY, low ambient cooling operation is possible at ambient as low as 0_F (-17.78_C).
The maximum outdoor operating ambient in heating mode is 66°F/18.89_C on all models.
Model Plug
Each control board contains a model plug. The correct model plug must be installed for or the system to operate properly. (See Table 22.)

Airflow Selections for ECM Furnaces (non communicating)
The ECM Furnaces provide blower operation to match the capacities of the compressor during high and low stage cooling operation. Tap selections on the furnace control board enable the installing technician to select the proper airflows for each stage of cooling. Below is a brief summary of the furnace airflow configurations
1.The Y2 call for high stage cooling energizes the “Cool” tap on the control board. The grey wire from cool tap is connec- ted to tap 5 on the motor. Refer to the furnace Product Data to find the corresponding airflow. If the airflow setting for high cooling needs to be switched from tap 5 to a different tap, jumper a connection from the cool tap to the desired tap so that the Y2 signal is communicated via the cool tap to the desired speed tap.
2.The Y1 call for low stage cooling energizes the “Fan” tap on the control board. The red wire from the fan tap is con- nected to tap 1 on the motor. Refer to the furnace Product
Data to find the corresponding airflow. If the airflow setting for low cooling needs to be switched from tap 1 to a differ- ent tap, jumper a connection from the Fan tap to the desired tap so that the Y1 signal is communicated via the Fan tap to the desired speed tap. The Y1 setting will also govern the continuous fan airflow for the furnace.
Refer to the furnace literature for further details.
Airflow Selection for Variable Speed Furnaces (non-communicating)
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 Installa- tion Instructions for details of how to use this feature.
Airflow Selection for FV4C Fan Coils Using Non-Communicating (Non-Evolution) Thermo- stats
The FV4C provides high- and low-stage blower operation to match the capacities of compressor at high- and low-stage. To select recommended airflow, refer to FV4C Installation Instructions. The FV4C utilizes an Easy Select control board that allows the installing technician to select proper airflows. For adjustments to control board, select appropriate HP SIZE and CFM ADJUST setting. This fan coil has an adjustable blower off delay factory set at 90 sec for high- and low-stage blower operation.
When using a communicating (Evolution) control, dipswitch adjustments are not necessary. Airflows are determined by Evolution Control setup. The fan coil is the FE4A.
For other combinations of equipment consult Product Data Digest.
NOTE: Systems using only a non-communicating (non-Evolution) thermostat, Bryant electronic thermostats are equipped with a 15-minute staging timer. This timer prevents the two-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 (±2.8°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°F (±2.8°C) below room ambient.
