Defrost Operation
The defrost control board (DC) utilizes a time/temperature defrost scheme. The DC repeats normal heating run cycles, which must be completed, until one of the following conditions is met and the DC enters defrost mode:
1.The DC satisfies its accumulated minimum run time. This is factory set at 60 minutes, but is field adjustable to 30, 60 or 90 minutes.
2.The defrost switch(es) is closed. This normally open switch is set to close at 28° F
When the DC enters defrost mode, its
1.Both of the liquid line thermostats are open. Each is set to open at 55 degrees (+/- 3).
2.The maximum defrost run time of 10 minutes is met.
The DC also contains a set of test pins. Placing a jumper across these pins will result in the following actions:
•If the ASCD timer is active, it is now bypassed, allowing the compressor to run.
•If the DC is in a lockout condition, the lockout is reset.
•If the compressor is running, the DC is forced into defrost mode. The control will remain in defrost mode as long as the jumper is in place. When the jumper is removed, the control will terminate defrost mode.

NOTE: The DC has two flash codes that only initiate if the jumper between the two pressure switch terminals is removed or broken.
Blower Operation
After completing the specified time for fan
•Relay BR1 sends a 24V signal to G1 of terminal block TB2. It may be used to control operation of an indoor blower.
The UCB disables the signal to BR1 after completing the fan
