HAFC201-4 Hydro Air Fan Controls
Terminal Description:
Thermostat:
C Optional: Common side of transformer W White - Heating signal
to power some styles of thermostats Y Yellow - Condenser signal
R Red - Hot side of transformer used to G Green - Fan signal
switch all functions
Water Coil Aquastat:
TT Connect to aquastat at air handler to control operation of the fan when
in the heating mode. Install a jumper if the aquastat is not used
Freeze Protection Aquastat:
TT Connect to aquastat or thermostat to sense low ambient temperature.
Reduces the chance of pipes freezing by energizing the pump dry contacts.
Pump Dry Contacts:
XX May switch pump directly by bringing in external line voltage or connect
to “T T” on a switching relay.
Boiler Dry Contacts:
XX Connect to the boiler or “T T” terminals on a switching relay.
Air Handler:
C Common side of transformer to power the Fan Control
R Red - Hot side of transformer used to switch all functions
Y Yellow - Condenser signal
One Speed Motor:
G
low
Connect the fan to the relay. Keep the jumper installed between G
high
and G
low
.
Two Speed Motor:
G
high
Remove jumper and connect G
high
to the high speed fan relay and
connect G
low
to the low speed fan relay.
WARNING:  Wiring  connections  must  be
made in accordance with all applicable elec-
trical codes. Use copper wire only. 120 VAC
wiring must have a minimum temperature
rating of 75°C. Failure to follow this instruc-
tion can result in personal injury  or  death
and/or property  damage.  12-18  gauge  wire
recommended  for  120  VAC  connections,
14-22  gauge  wire  for  thermostat  connec-
tions,  and  14-22  gauge  wire  for  24  VAC
source connections.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Do it Once. Do it Right.

Operation:
The  Hydro  Air  Fan  Control  is  an  interface
between  the  thermostat  and  air  handler.  It
also  has  an  isolated  end  switch  to  start  the
boiler and pump. When the thermostat calls
for  heat,  the  Fan  Control  energizes  the  end
switch relays and allows the fan to operate at
low  speed  when  the  water  is  above  the
optional  aquastat  setting  or  time  delay  has
expired. When the thermostat calls for cool-
ing, the Fan Control energizes the condenser
and  operates  on  high  speed.  Selectable  one,
three or four minute delay on  fan operation
in  heating  mode.  Selectable  pump  exercise
activates circulator but does not enable boiler
contacts. Two minutes every 24 hours mini-
mizes  the  chance  of  bacteria  build-up  in  an
open loop system. Thirty seconds every  two
weeks  minimizes  seasonal  start-up  problems
generally associated with harsh water condi-
tions. Optional aquastat or thermostat can be
connected to Freeze  Protection  TT  terminals
to  reduce  the  chance  of  pipes  freezing  by
energizing  the  pump  dry  contacts  (boiler
contacts not activated.)
Switch Settings:
1 1 minute on fan delay, in heating mode
2 3 minute on fan delay, in heating mode
1&2 4 minute on fan delay, in heating mode
3 Activate  pump  exercise  feature  (boiler 
contacts not activated)
4 Pump exercise for 2  minutes every 24 
hours or 30 seconds every two weeks
External Diagnostics:
The external lights show full functionality of
the  Hydro  Air  Fan  Control.  The  green  light
should always be on, indicating that power is
connected. Red lights indicate fan operation
for heating and cooling modes.
