Remote Thermostat and Low
Voltage Control Connections
Remote Thermostat
All Friedrich PZ model PTAC units are factory congured to be controlled
by either the chassis mounted Smart Center or a 24V remote wall mounted
thermostat. The thermostat may be auto or manual changeover as long as
the control conguration matches that of the PTAC unit.
NOTE: All PDE models require a single stage cool, single stage heat
thermostat. All PDH models require a single stage cool, dual
stage heat thermostat with an O reversing valve control. The
Friedrich RT6 thermostat can be congured for either model.

To control the unit with a wall mounted thermostat
follow the steps below:
1. Unplug the unit before doing any work.
2. With the front cover removed locate the dip switches located below
the Smart Center control panel. See page 23. Switch Dip switch
2 to the up on 'ON' position.
3. Remove the low voltage terminal block from the unit.
4. Connect the corresponding terminals from the wall thermostat to
the terminal block.
5. Replace the terminal block on the unit.
6. Restore power to the unit.
7. The unit is now controlled by the wall thermostat only.
8. If the accessory escutcheon kit (PDXRTA) is to be used, install it
over the existing control panel.
NOTE: The unit mounted controls no longer control the unit. To restore
the unit mounted controls move dip switch 2 to the down or
'OFF' position.
