OPERATION
Sequence of Operation
Cooling
When the thermostat is in the cooling mode, the O circuit is powered which energizes the reversing valve. Upon cooling demand, the thermostat closes circuit R and Y. Closing R and Y closes the unit contactor, starting the compressor and outdoor fan. The thermostat automatically closes R to G circuit which also brings on the indoor blower at the same time. Upon satisfying cooling demand, the thermostat will open the above circuits and open the main contactor, stopping the compressor and outdoor fan. If the unit is equipped with a delay timer, the blower will continue to operate for 90 seconds which improves system efficiency.
Heating
Upon heating demand, the thermostat closes circuit R toY, which closes the unit contactor, starting the compressor and outdoor fan.The reversing valve is not energized in the heating mode.The thermostat again automatically brings on the indoor fan at the same time. Upon satisfying heating demand, the thermostat opens above circuits and stops unit operation.
Defrost System
The defrost system includes two components: the defrost thermostat and the defrost control.
Defrost Thermostat
The defrost thermostat is located on the liquid line between the check/expansion valve and the distributor. When the defrost thermostat senses 42°F or cooler, the thermostat contacts close and send a signal to the defrost control board to start the defrost timing. It also terminates defrost when the liquid line warms up to 70°F.
Defrost Control
The defrost control board includes the combined functions of time/temperature defrost control, defrost relay, diagnostic LEDs and terminal strip for field wiring connections (see Figure 8).
The control provides automatic switching from normal heating operation to defrost mode and back. During the compressor cycle (call for defrost), the control accumu- lates compressor run time at 30, 60, 90 minute field- adjustable intervals. If the defrost thermostat is closed when the selected compressor run time interval ends, the defrost relay is energized and the defrost begins.
Defrost Control Timing Pins
Each timing pin selection provides a different accumulated compressor run time period during one thermostat run cycle. This time period must occur before a defrost cycle is initiated. The defrost interval can be adjusted to 30 (T1), 60 (T2), or 90 (T3) minutes. The defrost timing jumper is factory installed to provide a
