Factory wires are provided for electric heat staging W1 and W2 (W2 and W3 on IFB). If room thermostat has only one stage of supplemental heat, connect white and violet wires shown in Fig. 10 to second stage heat field wire.

Some electric heaters have four control wires (plus common wire). Consult unit wiring diagram and electric heater wiring diagram for additional details.

TRANSFORMER PROTECTION

The transformer is of the energy-limiting type, however a direct short will likely blow a secondary fuse. If an overload or short is present, correct overload condition and check for blower fuse on Indoor Fan Board. Replace fuse as required with correct size and rating.
