Step 13 — Connect Air Pressure Tubing — Be-
fore options such as the variable frequency drive (VFD) and/or
modulating power exhaust can operate properly, the pneumatic
tubing for pressure sensing must be installed. Use fire-retardant
plenum tubing (field-supplied). All control devices use

tubing. Tubing must be run from the appropriate sensing loca-
tion (in the duct or in the building space) to the control device
location in the unit.
VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE — The tubing for the
duct pressure (DP) control option should sample supply duct
pressure approximately
2

of the way out from the unit in the
main trunk duct, at a location where a constant duct pressure is
desired.
On these units, the duct pressure is sensed by a pressure
transducer. The pressure transducer output is directed to the unit
control module. On all sizes, the DP transducer is located in the
unit auxiliary control box. See Fig. 44 and 45 for auxiliary
control box location. See Fig. 46-48 for auxiliary control box
details. Use a nominal

Refer to appropriate base unit Controls and Troubleshooting
book for instructions on adjusting set points for duct pressure
controls.
MODULATING POWER EXHAUST — The tubing for the
building pressure (BP) control (achieved via the modulating
power exhaust option) should sample building pressure in the
area near the entrance lobby (or other appropriate and sensitive
location) so that location is controlled as closely to design pres-
sures as possible.
These units use a pressure transducer for sensing building
pressure. The BP transducer is located in the unit auxiliary con-
trol box. See Fig. 44 and 45 for auxiliary control box location.
See Fig. 46 and 47 for auxiliary control box details. Use a nom-

For instructions on adjusting BP control set points, refer to
the Controls and Troubleshooting book.
RETURN FAN POWER EXHAUST — The tubing for the
building pressure (BP) control (achieved via the return power
exhaust option) should sample building pressure in the area
near the entrance lobby (or other appropriate and sensitive lo-
cation) so that location is controlled as closely to design pres-
sures as possible.
The units use a pressure transducer for sensing building
pressure. The BP transducer is located in the unit auxiliary con-
trol box. See Fig. 45 for auxiliary control box location. See
Fig. 48 for auxiliary control box details. Use a nominal
