Timers

Five-Minute Compressor Timeguard

This timer prevents compressor from starting unless it has been off for at least 5 minutes. It can be overridden for 1 cycle by simultaneously pressing FAN and UP buttons.

Cycle Timer

Based on the selection of 2, 4, or 6 cycles per hour, this timer is set to 30, 15, or 10 minutes. This much time must elapse from the start of one cycle before another cycle can start. It serves to impose the cycles per hour limits. It can be defeated for one cycle by simultaneously pressing the FAN and UP buttons.

Ten-Minute Staging Timer

In multistage heating or cooling, this timer prevents any higher stage from turning on until preceding stage has been on for 10 minutes. When staging between compressor and electric heat or between compressor and furnace heat, the time is configurable. The timer is configurable via Option 17. This timer is overridden if temperature error is greater than 5_ (usually due to a large change in desired temperature) and equipment stages up in 60 second intervals.

Defrost

When defrost occurs in a Hybrid Heat system, the furnace will operate during the defrost cycle. At the end of the defrost cycle, the furnace and heat pump will be de-energized while the fan is energized for 2 minutes allowing the heat exchanger to cool down. At the end of the 2 minute time, the heat pump will be re-energized if a call for heat still exists.

Detection of defrost will not work properly if the installer has configured the O/W2/B output to function as a B output. During heat pump heating, a defrost
