🎛 Control Wiring Scenarios

Scenario 1 – 24V Thermostat + RS485 Comm *16awg, stranded/ Shielded wire must be used

  • Uses indoor unit R, C, Y1, Y2, B, W, D terminals

  • Do not use outdoor 24V terminals

  • B and W terminals must not be used together

Scenario 2 – ICP Communicating Controller (Part #: KSACN1401AAA)

  • Full RS485 communication * 16awg, stranded/ Shielded wire must be used.

  • No 24V wiring required at indoor or outdoor units

  • DIP switch 2 = OFF

  • Factory default configuration

Scenario 3 – Thermostat Only

  • 24V signals from outdoor unit terminals

  • For 3rd-party air handlers/furnaces

  • DIP switch 2 = ON

  • S1 and S2 not used in this setup

Note: Incorrect wiring or DIP switch settings can cause irreversible damage to the system.

Key Installation Considerations:

 

✅ Key Installation Requirements for Heat Pump System Setup

Make sure to follow these essential guidelines to ensure proper operation and avoid callback issues:

  1. AHRI-Matched System

    • The outdoor and indoor units must be an AHRI-approved match to ensure efficiency, proper performance, and warranty validation.

  2. Thermostat Wiring

    • Run a minimum 5-conductor thermostat wire to the outdoor unit to support all necessary communication and control functions.

  3. Thermostat Compatibility

    • Use a 24V heat pump-compatible thermostat (e.g., Honeywell, Ecobee, White Rodgers). Avoid using incompatible models that lack heat pump support.

  4. Two Power Sources

    • Ensure separate electrical power is provided to both the indoor and outdoor units. This system requires two points of power.

  5. TXV Notice

    • Do NOT remove the TXV from the indoor unit. Factory-installed TXVs are designed to function with the matched system.

  6. Airflow Requirements

    • Verify airflow carefully—a minimum of 350 CFM per ton is required. Poor airflow can lead to performance issues and system failure.

  7. Outdoor Unit Configuration

    • Outdoor unit DIP switch #2 must be ON to enable Crossover Mode (used for specific control strategies or thermostat settings).

  8. System Compatibility Warning

    • This system is NOT compatible with Communicating ION controls. If ION functionality is needed, consider using the ION Gray thermostat, as it is 24 volt.

 

 

Wiring Configurations:
o  There are 3 ways that we can configure
•     Scenario 1: Outdoor to Indoor communication with S1/S2 and 24V 3rd-party Thermostat
•     Scenario 2: Full communication with S1/S2 and HA/HB on the controller.
•     Scenario 3: Full 24V communication with 3rd-Party Thermostat
 

 

WIring using scenario 1 only with air handler and outdoor unit and 24v thermostat:

 

 

Wiring using Scenario 2 with Dual Fuel furnace and a D5FULA cased coil.

 

 

Scenario 3 Wiring with full 24v control. Furnace and TXV coil (AHRI Matchup)
