IMPORTANT
To prevent the build-up of high levels of nitrogen when
purging, it must be done in a well-ventilated area. Purge
low-pressure nitrogen (1 to 2 psig) through the refrigerant
piping during brazing. This will help to prevent oxidation
and the introduction of moisture into the system.

PLEASE READ IMPORTANT ISSUES CONCERNING BRAZING
OPERATIONS ON PAGE 10 BEFORE PROCEEDING.
NOTE - Use silver alloy brazing rods with five or six percent

1. AHC will start the indoor blower motor to the selected heat jumper speed setting and cycle the electric heat relays ON to automatically detect number of electric
heat sections. (Electric heat section may be wired to energize more than one element)
2. AHC waits for maximum of ten seconds to detect electric heat 22 volt DC relay coils are energizing:
A If relay coil current is detected within ten seconds, AHC will show a 1 on the single character LED display indicating that the first stage has been detected. As
each additional heat section is detected, single character LED display on the AHC will display that electric element number. (Example: Last number displayed
by the single character LED display is 3, the AHC is configured to operate three electric heat sections.)
B If relay coil current is not detected within ten seconds, the AHC will exit the current active mode and resume operation with electric heat disabled.
3. AHC will automatically exit current configuration mode when configuration is completed. To verify that the number of electric sections detected matches the
installed electric heat package, the field MUST CONFIRM that the last number the single character LED display before exiting the Configuring/Detection Mode
matches the number of installed electric heat sections. AHC stores the number of electric heat stages in non-volatile memory.
4. After the detection is finished, unit will continue to operate for an additional 30 seconds.
NOTE — If AHC push button is pushed or power is cycled on AHC is unable to verify all 22 volt DC electric heat relay(s) were energized using electric heater
