As standard equipment all CHW-A series units are equipped with 3 speed Direct Drive 115v single phase motor.
All CHW-A series units are equipped with transformer and one fan relay for 24v control.
1.5 2.5 kW electric heaters are 120v. All other electric heaters are 208-230v.
Coil options are 3, 4, 3/1 split, 4/1 split, 1/3 split, 2/3 split, 1/4 split and 5 row (maximum). Split coils are for four pipe systems.
Use 4/1 split for 5 row coil pricing. Coil hand must be specified at time of order.

Consult Piping & Control Packages brochure for all factory selected thermostat and valve cluster combinations. See Control
Pricing & Coding and Valve Pricing Clusters & Components for pricing of same.
