OPERATION
Remote Wall Thermostat
All Friedrich Vert-I-Pak units are factory congured to be controlled by using a single stage heat/cool remote wired wall
mounted thermostat.
Thermostat Selection
Friedrich recommends the use of the Friedrich RT4 and RT6. These thermostats are single stage heat/cool, manual change-
over. The RT4 is a digital display thermostat with single speed fan control. The RT6 features a digital display, two fan speed
selection, temperature limiting, status indicator light, room temperature offset, and backlight. Other thermostats may be used
as long as they are single stage heat/cool and are congured correctly for the unit.
Thermostat terminals requirements:
For cooling with electric heat units: C, R, G, Y, W.
For heat pump units: C, R, G, Y, W, B.
For two fan speeds, thermostat must have 2 fan speed selection.
HEAT PUMP UNITS During Heat Mode:
The B terminal must be continuously energized. The W terminal must have 24 VAC output to call for heat. The control board
decides on whether to turn on the Heat Pump Heat (compressor) or Electric Heat. The Y terminal should not have 24 VAC output
during heat mode.
