Welcome!
Thank you for your purchase of the Smart Forced Air Director product.
Physical Installation
The Director product is designed to be near the furnace. The best mounting will be in an open location
where you can secure the device to a piece of wood, or other non-metallic object, with two screws.
Screw the Director to the chosen mounting location using the two included screws.
Once the Director has been mounted, turn off the breaker to the HVAC unit to ensure the power is off
for the wiring process.
Once the power has been disconnected, it is time to wire the Director to the furnace control interface.
Make note of any previous connections, possibly using a note pad or a camera phone, then disconnect
the pre-existing wires.
The kind of HVAC unit you have, conventional or heat pump type, will determine how you wire the
system up. The wiring is as follows:

Wire up each of the available wires matching the connection on the Director module to the connection
on the HVAC unit. Please note that in MOST cases, not all connections will be made. Most Conventional
HVAC units only make use of Fan, Heat 1, possibly cool 1, and 24Vac. More advanced systems will
sometimes utilize multiple stages of heating and/or cooling and possibly make use of a humidifier or
dehumidifier.
Please note:
The Director module REQUIRES the use of the common wire
If your HVAC system only uses one transformer and performs cooling, you will need to add a
jumper wire between R(h) and Rc – This jumper wire might already be installed in the unit when
you receive it. If your system utilizes two transformers (one for heating and one for cooling),
you will need to remove that jumper while wiring in the two transformers.
