Control power (24 VAC) wiring run is too long
(resistance should not exceed 0.75 ohms).

Shorten wiring run to mechanical room or install a
relay which will turn unit on/off. Consult Factory for
relay information. Increase wire gauge size so that
resistance is .075 ohms or less.

Incoming supply power is less than anticipated.
Voltage supplied to starter coil must be within
+10% / -15% of nominal voltage stated on the
coil.

Need to increase supply power or use a special
control transformer which is sized for the actual

The Test and Balance Report (TAB) is utilized to determine whether the appropriate amount of outdoor air
and exhaust air is being supplied and removed from a building, respectively. There are no set rules on what
information must be included in a TAB report. As such, if a TAB report indicates that the airflow on a unit is low,
prior to contacting the factory, please determine the following information:

Airflow problems can often be tied back to improper ductwork installation. Be sure to install ductwork in accordance
with SMACNA and AMCA guidelines.
