CONTROLS (cont)

NOTE: Compressor no. 2 cannot be energized unless there is a signal for Y2 from the space thermostat.

4.If compressor no. 2 is energized, and the Y2 signal from the thermostat is satisfied, compressor no. 1 and 2 are deener- gized. Reasserting Y2 will start compressor no. 1 and (after a 20-minute interstage delay) compressor 2.

5.If compressor no. 1 is energized and the thermostat is satis- fied, compressor no. 1, the OFM, and IFM are deenergized and the EconoMi$er modulates closed.

Heating, Units With Economizer — Upon a call for heat through W1, the IFC energizes to start the evaporator fan and the economizer damper blade opens to the minimum position. If the accessory two-position damper is used, the outdoor-air damper opens to the minimum position whenever the evapora- tor fan runs. If unit is equipped with 2 stages of heat, when addi- tional heat is needed a call is made through W2.

As space temperature approaches the heating temperature set point, heating stages cycle off. Economizer or two-position damper returns to fully closed position.

Defrost (548F036-072 and 549B036-072)As frost builds up on the outdoor coil, the coil temperature drops below 28 F. When this outdoor-coil temperature drop is sensed by the defrost thermostat (DFT) and the defrost timer is at the end of a timed period (adjustable at 30, 50, or 90 minutes), the unit oper- ates in a defrost cycle controlled by the defrost timer and ther- mostat. During this cycle, the reversing valve solenoid (RVS) is energized and the outdoor fan shuts off. The electric heaters (if installed) will be energized.

The unit continues to defrost until the coil temperature as measured by DFT reaches 65 F, or the duration of defrost cycle completes a 10-minute period.

At the end of the defrost cycle, the electric heaters (if installed) and the reversing valve will be deenergized, and the outdoor-fan motor will be energized. The unit will now operate in the Heating mode.

If the thermostat is satisfied during a defrost cycle, the unit will continue in the Defrost mode until the time or temperature constraints are satisfied.

Defrost (548F090-120 and 549B090,120) — When the tem- perature of the outdoor coil drops below 28 F as sensed by the defrost thermostat (DFT2) and the defrost timer is at the end of a timed period (adjustable at 30, 50, or 90 minutes), reversing valve solenoids (RVS1 and RVS2) are energized and the OFC is deenergized. This switches the position of the reversing valves and shuts off the outdoor fan. The electric heaters (if installed) will be energized.

The unit continues to defrost until the coil temperature as measured by DFT2 reaches 65 F, or the duration of defrost cycle completes a 10-minute period.

During the Defrost mode, if circuit 1 defrosts first, RVS1 will oscillate between Heating and Cooling modes until the Defrost mode is complete.

At the end of the defrost cycle, the electric heaters (if installed) will be deenergized; the reversing valves switch and the outdoor-fan motor will be energized. The unit will now oper- ate in the Heating mode.

If the space thermostat is satisfied during a defrost cycle, the unit will continue in the Defrost mode until the time or tempera- ture constraints are satisfied.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION — 542J150,180

Cooling, Units Without Economizer — With unit main power on, set thermostat to COOL position and desired room temper- ature. Set fan switch at AUTO. (on demand) or ON (continuous) position.

On a rise in room temperature, cooling contactor no. 1 in the thermostat closes. The indoor and outdoor fan motors start. If the 5-minute compressor time-delay (CTD) on the defrost board (DB) is satisfied, then compressor no. 1 (542J180) or unloaded compressor (542J150) contactor is energized and compressor will start. Compressor cycles on demand of the thermostat to satisfy room conditions. Each time the cooling contactor no. 1 opens, the CTD starts the 5-minute delay.

On 542J180 units, with an additional rise in room tempera- ture, cooling contactor no. 2 in the thermostat closes, energiz- ing compressor contactor no. 2. Compressor no. 2 starts and cycles on demand of the thermostat to satisfy the occupied space demands.

On 542J150 units, compressor runs fully loaded on a call for second-stage cooling.

Cooling, Units With EconoMi$er — Upon a call for cooling, when outdoor ambient temperature is above the temperature control setting, the indoor and outdoor fans and compressor(s) energize. The economizer damper moves to vent position.

Upon a first-stage call for cooling, when outdoor ambient tem- perature is below the temperature control setting, the indoor fan starts and economizer damper modulates to maintain mixed-air temperature. The compressor(s) remains off.

Upon a second-stage call for cooling, compressor no. 1 (542J180) or loaded compressor (542J150) is energized and mechanical cooling is integrated with economizer cooling. Com- pressor no. 2 (542J180) is locked out. If the air temperature is below 50 F, a cooling lockout switch prevents the compressor(s) from running.

When supply-air temperature drops below a fixed set point, the economizer damper modulates to maintain the temperature at the fixed set point.

A freeze protection thermostat (FPT) is located on the indoor coil. It detects frost build-up and turns off the compressor(s), allowing the coil to clear. Once frost has melted, the compres- sor can be reenergized.

Bryant 542J is a high-efficiency gas furnace that stands out for its reliability and advanced heating technologies. Designed to deliver consistent warmth and comfort in residential settings, it combines innovative engineering with energy-efficient features.

One of the key characteristics of the Bryant 542J is its two-stage heating capability. This means that the furnace can adjust its heat output according to the heating demands of your home. During milder weather, it operates at a lower stage, consuming less energy while still maintaining a comfortable environment. When the temperatures drop, the furnace shifts to its higher capacity, providing the necessary warmth efficiently. This not only enhances comfort but also contributes to lower energy bills.

In addition to its two-stage operation, the Bryant 542J also incorporates a variable-speed blower motor. This technology allows the furnace to adjust the airflow depending on the heating requirements, ensuring an even distribution of warm air throughout the home. The variable-speed blower also operates more quietly than conventional fixed-speed motors, creating a serene indoor environment.

Energy efficiency is a hallmark of the Bryant 542J, boasting an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 96.5%. This impressive rating means that a significant portion of the energy consumed is effectively converted into usable heat, resulting in substantial savings on heating costs over time. Furthermore, the furnace is equipped with a sealed combustion system that draws air from outside the home, minimizing energy waste and improving indoor air quality.

Diagnostic features are another highlight of the Bryant 542J, which come equipped with SmartEvap technology. This allows the unit to self-diagnose potential issues, providing homeowners with peace of mind and simplifying maintenance procedures.

Durability is also a key feature of the Bryant 542J. It is constructed with high-quality materials designed to withstand harsh winter conditions, ensuring a long lifespan and reliable performance. Its compact design also allows for flexible installation, making it suitable for various residential layouts.

In summary, the Bryant 542J is more than just a gas furnace; it is a sophisticated heating solution that combines efficiency, comfort, and reliability. With features such as two-stage heating, a variable-speed blower, high AFUE ratings, and advanced diagnostics, it is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking an efficient and effective heating system.
