FAN CYCLE The fan cycle switch allows the fan to
operate in 2 modes:
CON Fan runs continuously, circulating air even when
the temperature setting has been satisfied. This helps
to maintain the room temperature closer to the thermo-
stat setting.
CYC —Fan cycles on and off with the compressor dur-
ing heating or cooling. Fan stops when the temperature
setting is satisfied. This results in longer unit off-time
and slightly larger variations in room temperature and
humidity.
Units built after the start of 1996 incorporate single-
pole, double-throw fan cycle switches that have only 3
terminals. Units built prior to 1996 incorporate a double-
pole, double-throw fan cycle switch with 6 terminals
and a thermostat bulb heater. The additional terminals
control the thermostat bulb heater.
OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT (52SQ Units Only)
The outdoor thermostat has 2 operating modes. The heat
pump mode (selector screw set fully clockwise), allows
the unit to operate normally in the reverse cycle mode.
The electric heat mode (selector screw set fully coun-
terclockwise), disables all compressor operating modes,
both heating and cooling.
