NOTE
• The Test and the Emergency modes cannot occur at the same time.
• To enable W2, W1 must be ON.
The non‑adjustable thermostat (NAT), a construction-style thermostat included in the accessories bag,
should be used as the emergency thermostat.
Install the NAT in the return air duct next to the TH1 thermistor and connect the NAT between R and W1
on the control box. To enable both W1 and W2 to come on when the emergency thermostat calls for heat,
connect the W1 and W2 together to one side of the NAT and R to its other side.

15.8. Balance points
The PAA unit automatically switches between heat pump heating and furnace heating based upon
configuration parameters and operational data.
The unit supports two outdoor temperature set points—Economic Balance Point and Capacity Balance
Point—that determine the most efficient method of heating.
15.8.1. Economic balance point
The Economic Balance Point is the outdoor temperature above which it is more efficient to heat with the
heat pump and below which it is more efficient to heat with the furnace.
The ideal Economic Balance Point (using a remote controller) will depend on the cost of the fossil fuel being
used for the furnace, the efficiency of the furnace, the cost of electricity, and the efficiency of the heat pump
for heating based upon various outdoor temperatures.
To configure the Economic Balance Point using MA controller, kumo cloud® app and MHK2 controllers,
please refer to the respective manuals.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
