Field Control Wiring

ZONE THERMOSTATS Ð Install a Carrier approved ac- cessory zone thermostat assembly in each zone according to installation instructions included in the accessory. Locate each thermostat assembly in the space where it will sense average zone temperature.

Route thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of no. 18 AWG (American Wire Gage) colored wire from thermo- stat subbase terminals through opening on base unit (Fig. 1, 2, 4, and 5) to low-voltage thermostat connections on zone control board (Fig. 10). Use no. 16 AWG wire for lengths exceeding 50 ft.

ZONE MODULE CONNECTIONS Ð Any module may be controlled independently or jointly with another module or modules. Modules are combined into nests that form indi- vidual Class II circuits (40 va) as follows:

Modules no. 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10 (028-040 units), 11 and 12 (034,040 units).

The control signal can be transferred from one nest to another nest by using factory-supplied jumpers on

quick-connect type multiplexing terminals. This prevents over- loading the nest control transformers. Factory-supplied jump- ers with quick-connect terminals are shipped in the zone con- trol and thermostat panel compartment.

Under no circumstances shall the transformer power from one Class II circuit be interconnected with any other circuit.

Thermostat heat anticipator settings are indicated for each permitted zone module connection arrangement illustrated in Fig. 11-28.

To Join Modules of the Same Nest Into the Same Zone (i.e., modules no. 1 and 2) Ð Install ®eld-supplied jumpers on thermostat connections (screw terminals) Y to Y and W2 to W2 as shown in Fig. 11. Connect thermostat wires to ter- minal connections of ®rst module in zone (for consistency). Two-stage cooling may be obtained in this example as shown in Fig. 12 (using a 2-stage thermostat).

To Join Modules Not of the Same Nest Into the Same Zone (i.e., modules no. 2 and 3) Ð Install the factory-supplied jump- ers on quick-connect terminals 6 to 1, 7 to 2, and 8 to 3 as shown in Fig. 13. Note that module no. 1 is independently controlled by its own thermostat (in Fig. 13).
