24 VAC Power Wiring

 

 

Thermostat Demand Wiring

 

 

 

 

 

The diagnostic module requires a constant nominal 24 VAC power supply. The wiring to the module’s R and C terminals must be directly from the indoor unit or thermostat. The module cannot be powered by R and C terminals on the defrost board without experiencing nuisance alerts.

The diagnostic module requires a thermostat demand signal to operate properly. The thermostat demand signal input, labeled Y on the module, should always be connected to the compressor contactor coil so that when the coil is energized, the demand signal input is 24 VAC. When the coil is not energized, the demand signal input should be less than 0.5 VAC.
