When using field supplied 3-way valves, position the changeover sensor upstream of the valve on the supply water pipe.

Recommendation: When using field supplied 2-way control valves, attach the changeover sensor in a location that will detect an active water temperature. The unit must always be able to sense the correct

system water temperature, regardless of the control valve position.

Note: The maximum length of the automatic changeover wire cannot exceed 10 feet from the control panel. If the sensor extends beyond the unit chassis, use shielded conductors to eliminate radio frequency interference (RFI).

Automatic Electric

Heat Lockout

Switch (Fan-coil)

Two-pipe fan-coil units with auxiliary electric heat have an automatic electric heat lockout switch that disengages the electric heat when hydronic heat enables. If the unit has a factory piping package and electric heat, the factory attaches the switch to the supply water pipe. When the lockout switch detects the supply water temperature above 95° F, it disengages the

electric heat. This eliminates electric heat and hydronic heat working simultaneously.

If the fan-coil unit does not have a factory piping package, the factory attaches the switch and coiled lead wires to the piping side end panel. The installer should position the lockout switch on the supply water line of the unit by sliding its spring connector over the pipe.

See Figure 15.
