There is an initiate defrost jumper (sen jump) on the control that can be used at any outdoor ambient during the heating cycle to simulate a 0° coil temperature.
This can be used to check defrost operation of the unit without waiting for the outdoor ambient to fall into the defrost region.
By placing a jumper across the SEN JMP terminals (a
¼inch QC terminal works best) the defrost sensor mounted on the outdoor coil is shunted out & will activate the timing circuit. This permits the defrost cycle to be checked out in warmer weather conditions without the outdoor temperature having to fall into the defrost region.
In order to terminate the defrost test the SEN JMP jumper must be removed. If left in place too long, the compressor could stop due to the high pressure control opening because of high pressure condition created by operating in the cooling mode with outdoor fan off. Pressure will rise fairly fast as there is likely no actual frost on the outdoor coil in this artificial test condition.
There is also a
Low Pressure Switch Bypass Operation - The control has a selectable (SW1) low pressure switch bypass set up to ignore the low pressure switch input during the first (30, 60, 120 or 180 seconds) of “Y” operation.
After this period expires, the control will then monitor the low pressure switch input normally to make sure that the switch is closed during “Y” operation.
High Pressure Switch Operation - The control has a
