Fan Cycle Operation There are two Fan Cycle auxiliary settings. These modes are utilized to switch between CONTINUOUS setting, the fan motor continues to operate even when the compressor or the electric heater cycles ON/ OFF. In the CYCLE setting, the indoor fan cycles ON/OFF with the heating and cooling functions. When the Class 2 mode is selected, the fan motor is controlled by the remote wall thermostat, independent of positions of Fan Cycle auxiliary set button modes.
Fan Cycle - Resistance Heating Mode The indoor fan and heaters are turned ON at the same time. The indoor fan is turned OFF, approximately 20 seconds after the heaters are de-energized as shown. In the OFF mode, the indoor fan will continue to operate for 6 seconds after the user has stopped the Zoneline, in order to dissipate the heat inside the Zoneline.
Fan Cycle - Heat Pump Mode AZ6500 series ONLY. The indoor fan is turned on 3 seconds before the compressor and outdoor fan is turned ON. The outdoor fan and the compressor are turned ON at the same time. The indoor fan is then turned OFF 6 seconds after the compressor and outdoor fan are turned OFF.
Constant Fan In Constant Fan mode, the Zoneline operates in High Fan mode regardless of fan setting. This feature allows the fan to operate even when the Zoneline is set in the OFF position. This will allow continuous air circulation in the room even if the Zoneline is turned off.
Random Restart The start-up condition for the different modes is shown in the following two diagrams. This function allows for the random restart of Zonelines in a building in the event of a power outage. The restart delay will reduce the initial inrush current from the building to help prevent a second power outage of indefinite length.
