SECTION III: OWNERS INFORMATION

AND SEASONAL INFORMATION

How The Air Handler Works – Heating Cycle

The appliance is equipped with the controls necessary for

proper and safe operation. Circuit breaker location is shown in

Figure 1.

The air handler is equipped with a relay(s), time delay relay,

transformer, circuit breakers (Electric Heat Models Only), and

a blower assembly. The transformer provides 24 VAC to the

thermostat.

When the thermostat calls for heat on the electric heat models,

the relay(s) energize sending 240 VAC thru the limit switches

to the electric heaters causing them to get hot. The indoor fan

motor is then energized on the selected heating speed tap after

an “ON” time delay and the circulating blower draws cool air

from the living space(s), passes it across the heater coils and

circulates the warmed air through the duct work to the living

space(s). When the thermostat is satisfied the electric heaters

are de-energized. The blower is also de-energized after an

“OFF” time delay and the heating cycle has ended and the air

handler is ready for the next call for heat to start the next

cycle.

When the thermostat calls for heat on the hydronic heating

models a pump relay will be energized causing the flow of hot

water thru the hot water coil, heating the coil. The indoor fan

motor is energized on the heating speed tap after an ”ON”

time delay. The circulating blower then draws cool air from

the living space(s), passes it across the hot water coil and

circulates the warmed air through the duct work to the living

space(s). When the thermostat is satisfied the circulating pump

is de-energized. The blower is also de-energized after an

“OFF” time delay, the heating cycle has ended and the air

handler is ready for the next call for heat to start the next

cycle.

How The Air Handler Works – Cooling Cycle

When the thermostat calls for cooling, 24 VAC is sent to the

compressor contactor causing it to close energizing the

compressor and the outdoor fan motor. The indoor fan motor

is then energized on the selected cooling speed tap after an

“ON” time delay and the circulating blower draws air from the

living space(s), passes it across the cooling coil in the air

handler and circulates the cooled air through the duct work to

the living space(s). When the thermostat is satisfied the

compressor contactor is de-energized turning off the

compressor and the outdoor fan motor. The blower is also de-

energized after an “OFF” time delay and the cooling cycle has

ended and the air handler is ready for the next call for cooling

to start the next cycle.

When the thermostat calls for heat pump, 24 VAC is sent to

the compressor contactor causing it to close energizing the

compressor and the outdoor fan motor. The reversing valve is

energized causing the flow of the refrigerant to reverse and

heat the coil inside the air handler. The indoor fan motor is

then energized on the selected heat pump speed tap after an

“ON” time delay and the circulating blower draws air from the

living space(s), passes it across the coil in the air handler and

circulates the warmed air through the duct work to the living

space(s). When the thermostat is satisfied the compressor

contactor is de-energized turning off the compressor and the

outdoor fan motor. The blower is also de-energized after an

“OFF” time delay and the heat pump cycle has ended and the

air handler is ready for the next call for heat pump to start the

next cycle.

Examination of the air handler

The home owner should perform a visual examine the furnace

every month for any defects or problems. The items to be

inspected are:

1. The physical support of the furnace is sound without

sagging cracks, gaps, etc. around the base so as to provide

a seal between the support and the base.

2. The furnace casing for any obvious signs of deterioration

from rust or corrosion.

3. The return and supply duct connections are physically

sound and are sealed to the furnace casing.

4. The furnace must be serviced by qualified personnel

annually, preferably at the start of each heating season.

FIRE OR ELECTRICAL HAZARD

Servicing heating/cooling equipment can be hazardous due

to electrical components.

Only trained and qualified personnel can service or repair

heating/cooling equipment. The home owner must never try

to perform service, repair or maintenance on this appliance.

Untrained service personnel can perform only basic

maintenance functions such as cleaning of exterior

surfaces and replacing the air filters.

Observe all precautions in the manuals and on the attached

labels when working on this appliance

MORTEXPRODUCTSINCFORTWORTH,TX76106Page4

Figure 1: Air Handler Visual Check Points

The Service Technician

The air handler’s best friend is a qualified service technician.

If the appliance gives any indication of improper operation,

call the service technician. The service technician is allowed

to perform the normal routine care of your appliance. He can

detect potential problems and make corrections before trouble

develops. Preventative maintenance of this type will allow the

air handler to operate with minimal concerns to the

homeowner and will add years of comfort.

Warranty and Responsibilities

It is the sole responsibility of the homeowner to make certain

the furnace has been properly installed and adjusted to operate

properly.

The manufacturer warrants the appliance to be free from

defects in material or workmanship for a stated time in the

warranty agreement. The manufacturer will not be responsible

for any repair costs to correct problems due to improper setup,

improper installation, improper furnace adjustments, installing

parts or components on the appliance that are not listed for use

with this appliance, improper operating procedures by the user

or repairs performed by the appliance user or owner.

Some specific examples of service calls which will be

excluded from warranty reimbursement are:

1. Correcting faulty duct work in the home. This can be due

to not enough ducts or ducts are too small to provide

proper air flow through the air handler.

2. Correcting electrical wiring problems in the supply wiring

to the air handler.

3. Resetting circuit breakers or on/off switches used for

servicing.

4. Problems caused by installation and operation of any air

conditioning unit, heat pump, or other air quality devise

which is not approved for use with this air handler.

5. Adjusting or calibrating the thermostat.

6. Problems caused by construction debris which has fallen

into the air handler.

7. Replacement of fuses.

8. Problems caused by dirty air filters.

9. Problems caused by restrictions in the return or supply air

flow causing low air flow.

The home owner should establish a firm understanding of

these responsibilities with the installer or Service Company so

there will be no misunderstanding of what will be covered

under warranty at a later date.

While you are away

The air handler is equipped with safety shutoff devices which

are designed to prevent the appliance from overheating in case

of a malfunction. For this reason it is never practical to assume

the appliance will operate unattended for a long period of

time. An example of a malfunction that can cause significant

damage to the home would be:

If the blower motor fails the heaters will cycle on the safety

shutoff devices while the temperature inside your home

continues to drop. All of the water pipes will freeze once the

temperature falls below 32°F.

If you are planning to be away from home for a long period of

time, have someone check on your home everyday, especially

when the outside temperatures will be below 35°F to ensure

the air handler is operating properly. This may prevent water

pipes from freezing.

The Furnace Fails to Operate Properly

If any abnormalities are observed while the furnace is

operating normally, perform the following checks:

1. Check the setting on the thermostat to make sure the

thermostat is set above the room temperature.

2. Check to see if the electrical power is turned on at the

circuit breakers at the main service circuit breaker box or

check any on/off switches that may be used for service

disconnect switches.

3. Check any inline fuses that may have been installed on

the air handler to determine if it has blown.

4. Make sure the air filters are clean, return grilles clean, are

not obstructed, and supply air registers are open.

If the cause of the malfunction is not obvious do not attempt to

service the appliance yourself. Call a qualified service

agency/company to repair the appliance.

dust in the supply and return ducts as far as you can reach.

If these ducts look like they have an excessive amount of

dust, dirt or debris you should recommend to the home

owner or user to call a professional to properly clean the

duct system.

13. Check and clean any dust, dirt, or debris from all of the

controls and all of the surfaces in the control box. If dust

or dirt is left on the components they will operate at a

much hotter temperature causing premature component

failure.

14. Reinstall the blower assembly and secure the assembly to

the casing by using the screws that was removed in step 5.

15. Reinstall the lower access door on the front of the

evaporator coil compartment.

16. Reinstall the upper access door on the air handler.

17. Follow the instructions exactly as shown in Startup and

Shutdown Section in this manual to properly startup this

appliance.

SECTION III: AIR HANDLER CONTROLS

Electric Heat Models

This section discusses the air handler controls and how they

operate. Refer to Figure 9 for component locations.

1. The Limit Controls – Each electric heater element has a

limit control directly in front of it to sense overheating of

the element and open if the temperature gets above the set

point of the limit control.

2. The Heater Relays – The electric heater relays simply

turn the heater elements on and off. The relays are

controlled by the thermostat. On a call for heat 24 VAC is

sent to the relay(s) 24 VAC coil energizing the relay.

When the call for heat has been satisfied the 24 VAC is

removed from the relays 24 VAC coil de-energizing the

relay(s).

3. Cooling Time Delay Relay (TDR) – The cooling

sequencer relay is used only on models with a PSC motor.

When the thermostat calls for cooling or the fan switch on

the thermostat is moved from the “AUTO” to the “ON”

position, 24 VAC is placed on the “G” terminal from the

thermostat to the 24 VAC coil on the sequencer relay. The

relay controls the blower on time delay and is not

adjustable. The sequencer setting is approximately 30 - 45

seconds on and 1 – 20 off.

4. Circuit breakers – The circuit breakers are designed as

over-current protection for the air handler internal

electrical components. Field wiring must be protected by

field supplied circuit breakers or fuses sized to protect the

wire connected to the air handler circuit breakers.

5. Transformer – The transformer is used to step down

voltage from 240 VAC to 24 VAC. The transformer

provides the required 24 VAC for the system control

circuit.

6. Blower Motor Isolation Relay - This relay is used to

load the TDR when using a PSC or X-13 motor or for

isolation between the high and low speeds of a motor. The

wiring has been designed so that the normally closed

contacts are used for heating and the normally open

contacts are used for cooling. The relay coil is energized

after the thermostat has a call from the “G” terminal

starting the time delay cycle on the sequencer relay. Once

the time delay relay has reached the delay setting the relay

contacts close energizing the isolation relay coil. The

normally closed contacts on the isolation relay open and

the normally open contacts close, energizing the motor on

the selected cooling speed.

ECM Motor Isolation Relay - This relay is not used on the

ECM motor which has programmable heating and cooling

blower time delays along with climate profile time delays. See

climate profile section for more information.

Hydronic Heat Models

This section discusses the air handler controls and how they

operate. Refer to Figure 10 for component locations.

1. Transformer – The transformer is used to step down

voltage from 240 VAC to 24 VAC. The transformer

provides the required 24 VAC for the system control

circuit.

2. Pump Relay – This relay is not used on all hydronic

models. This relay is a single pole single throw relay that

energizes the water pump on a call for heat. The 24 VAC

coil is connected to the thermostat “W” terminal. The coil

is energized on a call for heat closing the normally open

terminals sending 120 VAC thru the relay contacts to the

water pump motor. Once the call for heat has been

satisfied, the 24 VAC is removed from the thermostat

“W” terminal de-energizing the relay coil and opening the

contacts to the water pump motor.

3. PSC Blower Motor Isolation Relay - This relay is a

single pole double throw relay. Is required for isolation

between the high and low speeds of a motor. The wiring

has been designed so that the normally closed contacts are

used for heating and the normally open contacts are used

for cooling. The relay coil is energized after the

thermostat has a call from the “G” terminal. The normally

closed contacts on the isolation relay open and the

normally open contacts close, energizing the motor on the

selected cooling speed.

4. ECM Motor Isolation Relay - This relay is not used on

the ECM motor has programmable heating and cooling

blower time delays along with climate profile time delays.

See climate profile section for more information.

SECTION IV: SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

Continuous Blower – Electric Heat Models
