Things that are normal.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.

You may hear relays click when the controls cycle

“CLICK” on and off or are adjusted to change the room temperature.

Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.

The indoor fan runs continuously when the unit is operating in the cooling mode, unless the fan switch behind the room cabinet is set at fan cycle (up). This will cause the fan to cycle on and off with the compressor. You may also hear a fan noise stop and start.

-Minute		You may notice a few minutes delay in starting if you
		try to restart the Zoneline too soon after turning it
3	Delay	off or if you adjust the thermostat right after the
		compressor has shut off. This is due to a built-in
		restart protector for the compressor that causes

a 3-minute delay.

SILENCE	During the defrost cycle, both indoor and outdoor
	fans stop and the compressor will operate in the
	cooling mode to remove frost from the outdoor coil.
	After defrost, the unit will restart in electric heat to
	quickly warm the room to the desired comfort level.
COMPRESSOR	To protect the compressor and prevent short
	cycling, the unit is designed to run for a minimum
PROTECTION	of 3 minutes after the compressor starts at any
	thermostat setting.
