SYSTEM OPERATION

DEFROST CYCLE

The defrosting of the outdoor coil is jointly controlled by the defrost control board and the defrost thermostat.

Solid State Defrost Control

During operation the power to the circuit board is controlled by a temperature sensor, which is clamped to a feeder tube entering the outdoor coil. Defrost timing periods of 30, 60, or 90 minutes may be selected by connecting the circuit board jumper to 30, 60, or 90 respectively. Accumulation of time for the timing period selected starts when the sensor closes (approximately 31° F), and when the room thermostat calls for heat. At the end of the timing period, the unit’s defrost cycle will be initiated provided the sensor remains closed. When the sensor opens (approximately 75° F), the defrost cycle is terminated and the timing period is reset. If the defrost cycle is not terminated due to the sensor tempera- ture, a ten minute override interrupts the unit’s defrost period.

HEATING CYCLE

The reversing valve on the GSZ, SSZ, ASZ and DSZ models is energized in the cooling cycle through the "O" terminal on the room thermostat.

These models have a 24 volt reversing valve coil. When the thermostat selector switch is set in the cooling position, the "O" terminal on the thermostat is energized all the time.

Care must be taken when selecting a room thermostat. Refer to the installation instructions shipped with the product for approved thermostats.
