The control logic as below:

detected on the input , the unit will run normally.

connections are made in accordance with the installation
instructions.Improper connection of the thermostat control
wiring and/or tampering with the unit's internal wiring can
void the equipment warranty.Other manufacturer's PTACs
and even older Friedrich models may have different control
wire connections.Questions concerning proper connections
to the unit should be directed to Friedrich.
