the hole for low-voltage wires. Properly connect the
low-voltage wiring between the thermostat, outdoor
unit, and control board. NOTE: When the low voltage
wires are positioned in this grommet, the grommet will
prevent chafing and/or shorting of the low voltage leads.
Control Board
The control board in the air handler controls the timing
sequence of the elements. The board is equipped with
a 3 second blower on delay and a 15 second blower off
delay in heating and a 40 second blower off delay in
cooling. See Figure 13 (page 23) or Figure 14 (page
23) and Table 12 (page 29), (page 30) & page
31 for control board modes and actions.
Twinning
B6BM air handlers are not supplied with a built in twinning
capability. To connect two air handlers to a common
single stage AC condensing unit or heat pump, a twinning
kit is available for field installation. Please follow the
instructions supplied with the kit.
NOTE: Variable speed air handlers cannot be twinned.
