Room Freeze Protection 

This feature is enabled when the unit is shipped from 
the factory. The feature can be disabled by qualified 
service personnel. If power is available to the unit, and 
regardless of whether it is turned ON or OFF, the unit 
will automatically supply heat to the room with the fan 
running at low fan speed if the room temperature falls 
to 50°F (10ºC). The heat will turn off when the room 
temperature reaches 55°F (13ºC). For the feature to 
work, the unit must be configured with an electric 
heater. The feature is enabled whether the unit is 
configured for keypad or remote thermostat. The 
protection remains active when the unit is OFF, for 
either keypad or remote thermostat application, as long 
as the unit is plugged in, power is available, and a heat 
source is configured in the unit and is working.  
 

Compressor Short-Cycle Protection 

If the electronic control shuts the compressor down for 
any reason, a 3 minute time delay will elapse before the 
compressor is allowed to re-start. This prevents 
compressor overload during re-start due to unequal 
system refrigerant pressures. 
 

Indoor Coil Freeze Protection 

Control of frost on the evaporator coil due to low 
indoor loads, or cold outdoor ambient temperatures, is 
provided.  
 

Low Outdoor Temperature Lock-out 

If the outdoor temperature is too low for proper 
compressor operation, cooling operation will be 
suspended until the outdoor temperature rises to an 
acceptable point, depending on the application.     
 

Indoor Temperature Limiting (Keypad Control 
Only) 

Using the keypad control and display, high and low 
temperature limits can be established to prevent the 
user from entering set point temperatures colder or 
warmer than what the property manager or hotel 
operator may desire. The temperature limit choices are 
as follows: 
 
Configuration Code

R7

72            (22) 

 

The procedure to set the limits is as follows: 
Depress the On/Off key, the °F/°C key, and the 
Warmer key simultaneously for 5 seconds to enter the 
limit setup mode. The Warmer and Cooler keys will 
scroll through the R-values indicated in the above 
table. Once the desired R-value has been obtained on 
the display, press the On/Off key to accept the change, 
and then press it again to effect the change and restore 
the normal display. 

 
Automatic Powered Damper 

 
NFWC models are available with or without provision 
for fresh air. However, if the units are configured to 
bring in fresh air, they must have an automatic powered 
fresh air damper that opens the fresh air door to bring 
outdoor air into the room only when the indoor blower 
is running. If the indoor fan shuts off, the damper 
automatically closes and interrupts the heating coil’s 
potential exposure to possible extremely cold air when 
there is no blended air flow over the coil and/or no 
flow of the heating medium inside the coil. The factory 
default is fresh air with high speed fan operation only, 
but it can be changed to open with low speed fan 
operation only by having qualified service personnel 
re-wire the unit as shown on the specific wiring 
diagram affixed to the unit. 
 

WARNING: 

The speed conversion procedure involves 

exposure to high voltage electrical circuits in the 
control box in order to make the necessary change to 
the damper action tied to motor speed, and must be 
performed by qualified service personnel. Failure to do 
so could result in property damage, personal injury or 
death. Disconnect electric power to the unit before 
servicing. 

 
 
OPTIONAL AIR DUCT KIT: 

 
The NFWC series has been designed and certified 
for use with an optional external duct kit. It is 
recommended that only the Applied Comfort 
Products duct kit be installed on the unit. 
 
The NFWC has been designed to use a 4.5” tall by 
7.5” wide insulated (3/8” insulation) Duct Plenum 
fastened to the top of the unit, which connects to a 
maximum 48” long insulated (1/4” insulation) 
Extension Duct of the same size, and uses an Air 
Terminal Grille at the end of the Extension Duct 
having an actual outlet area of 

7.25”x 4.25” with
