PHASE MONITOR
All units with three phase compressors are equipped with a 3 phase line monitor to prevent compressor damage due to phase reversal.
The phase monitor in this unit is equipped with two LEDs. If the Y signal is present at the phase monitor and phases are correct, the green LED will light. If phases are reversed, the red fault LED will be lit and compressor operation is inhibited.
If a fault condition occurs, shut off main power and reverse two of the supply leads to the unit. Do not reverse any of the unit factory wires as damage may occur.
SERVICE HINTS
1.Caution owner/operator to maintain clean air filters at all times. Also, not to needlessly close off supply and return air registers. This reduces airflow through the system, which shortens equipment service life as well as increasing operating costs.
2.Switching to heating cycle at 75°F or higher outside temperature may cause a nuisance trip of the remote reset high pressure switch. Turn thermostat off then on to reset the high pressure switch.
3.The heat pump wall thermostats perform multiple functions. Be sure that all function switches are correctly set for the desired operating mode before trying to diagnose any reported service problems.
4.Check all power fuses or circuit breakers to be sure they are the correct rating.
5.Periodic cleaning of the outdoor coil to permit full and unrestricted airflow circulation is essential.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
COOLING STAGE 1 – Circuit
COOLING STAGE 2 – Circuit
HEATING STAGE 1 – A 24V solenoid coil on reversing valve controls heating cycle operation. Two thermostat options, one allowing “Auto” changeover from cycle to cycle and the other constantly energizing solenoid coil during heating season and thus eliminating pressure equalization noise except during defrost, are to be used. On “Auto” option a circuit is completed from
starting compressor and outdoor motor.
HEATING STAGE 2 – Circuit
cOmpressor current & pressure control module
The compressor control module monitors compressor current and pressure and prevents internal overload trips due to low voltage or extremely high ambient temperatures by
The relay on the compressor control module is a single pole double throw relay. The full capacity compressor solenoid connects to the common terminal of the relay. Once current is sensed by the compressor control module, the relay closes and the second stage cooling call (if present) is sent to the full capacity compressor solenoid. This sequence prevents damage to the full capacity compressor solenoid by ensuring that the solenoid is not energized when the compressor is
not running. A brief time delay in this sequence also prevents locked rotor amperage during
