AIR CONDITIONER/HEAT

PUMP INTERFACE

When interfacing a heat pump with the Comfort Plus,

the A-coil MUST be placed in the return air plenum.

Risk of fire. Any one ducting system MUST

NOT contain more than one air handling

(blower) system.

The 3120 Comfort Plus heating system can accom-

modate most heat pump or air conditioner indoor

coils up to a 3 1/2 ton capacity provided the heat

pump or air conditioner is sized in accordance to

supply air delivery rates of the Comfort Plus.

The maximum coil size the factory supplied return air

plenum can accomodate through the front access is

25.5" (W) x 22" (D) x 29.93" (H). The inner dimensions

of the coil area are 26" (W) x 22" (D) x 30.96" (H).

1. Route low voltage wire from load control device to terminal

block.

2. Connect field wiring to “RP” and “P” positions.

LOW VOLTAGE PEAK CONTROL

CONNECTIONS

If utilizing a Steffes Time Clock Module or Power Line

Carrier control, refer to the instructions shipped with that

device for installation information.

WARNING

WARNING

WARNING

• To ensure proper operation and safety, all line voltage circuits

must be segregated from low voltage wiring.

• To reduce electromagnetic fields associated with electrical

circuits and to avoid induced voltage on sensors and electronic

devices, the circuit phases MUST be alternated as shown.

• DO NOT install any wiring in the line voltage compartment of

the Comfort Plus heating system unless it is rated for line

voltage.

LOW VOLTAGE OUTDOOR SENSOR CONNECTIONS

The outdoor temperature sensor can be installed by wiring it

directly to the system or to the Steffes power line carrier (PLC)

system.
Direct Wired:

1. Mount outdoor sensor in a location where it can accurately

sense outdoor temperature.

2. Route low voltage wire from outdoor sensor to electrical

compartment:
•

Outdoor sensor wire MUST NOT be combined with other

control wiring in a multi-conductor cable.

•

Seal external wall openings.

•

Outdoor sensor lead can be extended to 250 ft.

•

Unshielded Class II (thermostat) wire can be used

provided it is segregated from any line voltage wiring.

3. Connect outdoor sensor wires to the two "OUTDOOR" posi-

tions of the low voltage terminal block.

If connecting to the Steffes power line carrier sys-

tem, follow the installation instructions in the PLC

system’s Owner’s and Installer’s Guide.

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE: Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or

death. Do not energize the Comfort Plus heating system until installa-

tion is complete.

1. Route all line voltage wires through knockout(s) and into electrical panel.
2. Make proper field wiring connections, phasing circuits as shown.

Reference the Unit Identification label for circuit information.
