 | 52S products? | TSTATCCPAC01 Ð Programmable AC thermostat | 
| 
 | 
 | TSTATCCPHP01 Ð Programmable HP thermostat | 
| 3. | How many 52S series units can be controlled by one | Only 2. | 
| 
 | remote thermostat? | 
 | 
| 4. | What is the vent capacity of the 52S products? | 35 cfm (standalone). Capacity can be increased | 
| 
 | 
 | with the use of an external exhaust fan. | 
| 5. | How do the 52S series models handle condensate | By using a slinger ring to evaporate the water on | 
| 
 | removal? | the outdoor coil, and by using an optional acces- | 
| 
 | 
 | sory drain kit. | 
| 6. | At what temperature will the outdoor (defrost) | 15 F coil temperature/approx 35 F ambient | 
| 
 | thermostat switch the unit (heat pumps only) into | (approx 40 to 45 F ambient for 1999 models). | 
| 
 | defrost (emergency heat) mode? | 
 | 
| 7. | Can the PTAC unit be con®gured to allow continuous | Yes. A switch located on the side of the control |

| 
 | heating, if the room temperature drops below | 
| 
 | 55° F to prevent freezing. | 
| 10. When must the accessory subbase be used? | When the wall sleeve is more than 4 in. inside |

 | the room. The subbase can be adjusted to a maxi- | 
| 
 | mum height of 51¤2 inches. | 
| 11. How does the PTAC unit prevent condensate water | A  |

| 12. What does the outdoor thermostat switch do? | The toggle switch, located on the side of the con- | 
| 
 | trol box, prevents the compressor from energizing | 
| 
 | in heating mode during subfreezing conditions to |

| 
 | must be returned to the ``heat pump'' position for | 
| 
 | compressor operation during cooling modes. |
