First Co Cdx Series Aquatherm Ceiling Fan Coil Instruction Manual

First Co CDX Series AquaTherm Ceiling Fan Coil

General description

The space-saving CDX series fan coil is only 10” high (11” with enclosure), thus allowing it to recess in a ceiling. Recessed ceiling fan coils save valuable floor space and eliminate costly “equipment” closets. All CDX fan coils include a 120/24V transformer and are completely prewired. A sloped drain pan allows positive drainage of condensate. These fan coils are compatible with any source of hot water that doesn’t exceed 180º F and is NSF/ANSI certified for use with domestic water.
(1) First Co’s customer is ultimately responsible for confirming which fan coil models are compatible with selected outdoor unit(s) and which expansion valves (if any) are required. To determine certified indoor/outdoor matches, go to www.firstco.com or contact the factory.

STANDARD FEATURES

• Factory installed service switch
• Freeze protector on HW coil
• Freeze protector on the DX coil
• Two speed fan operation
• Drain pan has 3/4” NPT primary and secondary (overflow) fittings
• 120V motor, 24V controls
• Highly efficient copper tube/aluminum fin heating and cooling coils. Cooling coil has a piston-type metering device or factory or field installed R410A TXV’s (non-bleed type). Contact factory for correct match with outdoor unit.
• Insulated and coated galvanized steel drain pan is sloped for proper drainage
• Effective January 2016, Cabinet air leakage is no more than 2% when tested in accordance with ASHRAE 193.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

• Attractive off-white return air / access panel with captive screws (panels can be field painted)
• IAQ filter panels (see P. 3)
• Fully insulated enclosure with matching ceiling panel (enclosure can be pre-installed). Also allows for ducted return air.
• Factory or field installed TXV’s (non-bleed type)
• Condensate overflow switch (field installed) (# SS3)

CIRCUIT BOARD FEATURES

WHEN B IS ADDED TO MODEL NUMBER
Multi-function microprocessor circuit board with:

• Automatic pump timer (heating mode) – purge mode (60 seconds every 6 hours)
• Blower-on fan delay (heating mode) – preheats the HW coil for 45 seconds.
• Blower-off fan delay (heating and cooling modes) blower continues to operate for 15 seconds after the thermostat is satisfied for increased efficiency.

GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS

UNIT
All fan coils are manufactured with 20 to 22-gauge galvanized steel to resist corrosion. All units are approved for installation with “0” clearance to combustible material. Piping, drain, and wiring connections are readily accessible and mounting holes and/or slots are predrilled to save installation time and field labor expense. Exposed units and/or panels have a baked-on powder coat finish.

COILS
Coils have 3/8” O.D. copper tubing expanded to high-efficiency aluminum fins. Each Coil is factory tested to 450 psig.

DRAIN PANS
Drain pan is made from heavy gauge galvanized steel with “ folded corner joints” Drain pan is insulated with a U.L. Listed closed cell fire retardant foam insulation to prevent sweating.

BLOWER ASSEMBLIES
All blower wheels are centrifugal, forward curved, and dynamically balanced for smooth, quiet operation. Blower assemblies can be easily removed for service.

MOTORS
Standard motors are PSC type with internal thermal overload protection. Motors have permanently lubricated sleeve bearings for long life. All motors are resiliently mounted with rubber bushings to assure quiet, vibration-free operation and are easily removed. Ecm motors should have multi-speed connections or speed jumper changes. Motors have permanently lubricated sleeve bearings for long life. All motors are resiliently mounted with rubber bushings to assure quiet, vibration-free operation and are easily removed.
Water coils and pumps shall be NSF/ASNI 169:2016 certified for public health and should contain less than 2% lead. All water coils should have a check valve internal to the pump and have a air purge valve factory installed.
