Installation Manual Essentials 120213 
 

 

 

DO NOT

 install the outdoor thermostat inside the ductwork or louver, on the South or East 

side of the home, or where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of heat such as 
adjacent to an attic wall or near an air conditioning condensing unit. 

1)

 

Connect one conductor of OSAT Cable to the thermostat Red common terminal.   

2)

 

Connect the other conductor to the Blue (close on cooling) terminal. 

3)

 

The uninsulated wire is a drain wire.  It should not come into contact with anything at the 
outdoor thermostat end.  Cut it short enough so that the outer jacket of the OSA cable 
covers the shield. 

4)

 

It is recommended that thermostat be set at 70 - 72 degrees. 

5)

 

Run the other end of the OSAT Cable back to the location where the Logic Box will be 
installed. 

INSTALLING THE 24VAC TRANSFORMER 

Install the 24VAC transformer near enough to the Logic Box to reach the Logic Box with power 
cable.  The unit runs on 24VAC only.  Other sources of power will damage the unit.  DO NOT 
power the unit with power from the AC unit.  (The furnace transformer will not have sufficient 
capacity to provide for the IAQ Economizer.)  

Provide 120 VAC power to the appropriate side of the transformer. 

Connect the Power Cable to the 24 VAC side of the transformer.  

Transformer common 

connects to the Power Cable Black wire.

 

Run the Power Cable to the location where the Logic Box will be installed. 

CONNECTING THE FURNACE CABLE 

Connect the Furnace Cable to the existing furnace board using the diagram shown in FIGURE 2. 

Run the Furnace Cable to the location where the Logic Box will be installed.  If running the fan 
on high speed is not possible with the furnace cable installed as depicted, visit our website and 
review the “Alternate Furnace Cable” installation diagram and instructions. 

INSTALLING THE LOGIC BOX  

(You do not need to open the Logic Box for installation.)  Install 

Logic Box in a place where occupants can easily access for daily operation.  Two Logic Box 
attachment plates are provided: One for 3-gang box/flush mounting, the second for surface 
mounting.  Only one is used per install.
