•  Do not leave excess field control wiring inside unit, pull excess control wire to outside

of unit and provide strain relief for field wiring on inside of cabinet at point wiring pene-
trates cabinet. 

•  Make  sure,  after  installation,  separation  of  control  wiring  and  power  wiring  has  been

maintained.

System™

CONTROL BOARD 

The RHPL series air handler control, Figure 8, has the following features: 

• Memory  Card  – The  memory  card  stores  all  information  needed  for  unit  operation.

Once the system is wired for serial communications, this information is shared with the
thermostat and outdoor unit. This shared data is available if one of the components in
the system needs to be replaced. 

• An automotive-style ATC blade fuse for transformer protection (3 amp). 

• An on-board LED to indicate blower CFM. 

• An RJ-11 port for use with a diagnostic tool. 

• Inputs  for  field  installed  supply  and  return  air  temperature  sensors  (available  in  kit

RXHT-A01)

• DIP switches for airflow adjustments

IMPORTANT: The DIP switches are NOT used when the air handler is wired for serial
communications. Airflow adjustments are performed via the thermostat or a diagnostic
tool. 

Installation Verification 

• Term and bias dip switches should be on. 

•  24V  AC  power  on  R&C  must  be  present  at  the  control  for  the  air  handler  to  operate,

reference Figure 9. 

• Line voltage must be present at the control for indoor blower operation. 

• The RX Data LED will flash green in normal operation. A flashing green light indicates

24VAC is present and the data wires 1 and 2 are wired properly.

IMPORTANT: Diagnostic port is for the diagnostic tool only. Do not attempt to connect
components using a telephone cord. Damage will occur.

IMPORTANT: Diagnostic port is not a phone jack. Connecting to a telephone or tele-
phone system will result in damage.

5.3 USING THE ON-BOARD LED TO DETERMINE BLOWER CFM 

The CFM LED indicates blower output by flashing one (1) flash for every 100 CFM of
airflow. The LED will pause 1/10 second between each flash. 

5.4 AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE 

Comfort Control

2

System™

The RHPL air handler Comfort Control

System™ may operate using the Comfort

Control

or via traditional thermostat wiring. When the air handler is wired for the

Comfort Control

2

using Data wire 1 and Data wire 2, the DIP switches on the Comfort

Control

2

control have NO affect on the airflow.
