Thermostat Installation
The thermostat should be located on an interior wall in a 
larger room, away from supply duct drafts. DO NOT locate 
the thermostat in areas subject to sunlight, drafts or on 
external walls. The wire access hole behind the thermostat 
may in certain cases need to be sealed to prevent erroneous 
temperature measurement. Position the thermostat back 
plate against the wall so that it appears level and so the 
thermostat wires protrude through the middle of the back 
plate. Mark the position of the back plate mounting holes 
and drill holes with a 3/16” (5mm) bit. Install supplied 
anchors and secure plate to the wall. Thermostat wire must 
be 18 AWG wire. Wire the appropriate thermostat as shown 
in Figures 24 and 25 to the low voltage terminal strip on the 
CXM (units with PSC motor) or ECM control board (units 
with ECM motor). Practically any heat pump thermostat will 
work with these units, provided it has the correct number of 
heating and cooling stages.

Dehumidification
Units with CXM or DXM board and ECM fan motor, utilizing ECM dehumidification
mode (without ClimaDry option)
Notes:
1) Units with whole house dehumidification option have slightly different
thermostat wiring.Terminal DH at the thermostat is connected to terminal H at
the DXM board
2) ECM dehumidification mode slows down fan speed in the cooling mode when
dehumidification output from thermostat is active. Normal heating and cooling fan
speeds are not affected.
3) ECM board DIP switch SW9 must be in dehumid. mode for
ECM dehumidification mode.

NOTICE: Units with ClimaDry whole house dehumidiÄ cation

ѥCAUTION! ѥ
ѥCAUTION! ѥ
CAUTION! Refrigerant pressure activated water regulating 
valves should never be used with ClimateMaster 
equipment.
CAUTION! Many units are installed with a factory or ¿ eld 
supplied manual or electric shut-off valve. DAMAGE
WILL OCCUR if shut-off valve is closed during unit 
operation. A high pressure switch must be installed on 
the heat pump side of any ¿ eld provided shut-off valves 
and connected to the heat pump controls in series with 
the built-in refrigerant circuit high pressure switch to 
disable compressor operation if water pressure exceeds 
pressure switch setting. The ¿ eld installed high pressure 
switch shall have a cut-out pressure of 300 psig and a 
cut-in pressure of 250 psig. This pressure switch can 
be ordered from ClimateMaster with a 1/4” internal À are 
connection as part number 39B0005N02.
