Functional Checkout:

CAUTION:

If equipped with a compressor crankcase heater, wait 24 hours prior to performing a function checkout to allow for heating of the compressor crankcase. Failure to comply may result in damage and could cause premature failure of the system.

Indoor Blower — Set the thermostat function switch to COOLING and the fan switch to ON. Verify that the indoor blower is operating and that airflow is not restricted. Set the fan switch back to AUTO.

Blower Time Delay Relay (Select Models): A time delay relay may be provided with the unit and must be installed in the indoor section.The relay will keep the indoor blower running an additional 40 seconds for increased cooling efficiency after the outdoor unit shuts off. The relay has four terminals and one mounting hole.

Connect terminal “1” to load side of blower relay. Connect terminal: “2” to terminal “R” of T’stat. Connect terminal “3” to common terminal at blower relay or transformer. Connect terminal “4” to terminal “G” on T’stat.

Low-Pressure Switch (Select Models) — A low-pressure switch is factory-installed in select models only. If provided, this switch is located in the suction line internal to the outdoor unit. The switch is designed to protect the compressor from a loss of charge. Under normal conditions, the switch is closed. If the suction pressure falls below 5 psig, then the switch will open and de- energize the outdoor unit. The switch will close again once the suction pressure increases above 20 psig. Please note that the switch interrupts the thermostat inputs to the unit.Thus, when the switch opens and then closes, there will be a 5 minute short cycling delay before the outdoor unit will energize.

High-Pressure Switch — A high-pressure switch is factory-installed and located in the compressor discharge line internal to the outdoor unit. The switch is designed to de-energize the system when very high pressures occur during abnormal conditions. Under normal conditions, the switch is closed. If the discharge pressure

rises above 575 psig, then the switch will open and de-energize the outdoor unit. The switch will close again once the discharge pressure decreases to 460 psig.Please note that the switch interrupts the thermostat inputs to the unit.Thus, when the switch opens and then closes, there will be a 5 minute short cycling delay before the outdoor unit will energize.

Short Cycle Protection — With the system operating in COOLING mode, note the setpoint temperature setting of the thermostat, and gradually raise the setpoint temperature until the outdoor unit and indoor blower de-energize. Immediately lower the setpoint temperature of the thermostat to its original setting and verify that the indoor blower is energized and that the outdoor unit remains de-energized. Verify that, after approximately 5 minutes, the outdoor unit energizes and that the temperature of the air supplied to the facility is cooler than ambient temperature.

Comfort AlertTM Diagnostics (Select Models)

—The Comfort AlertTM diagnostics module facilitates troubleshooting heat pump and air conditioning system failures. This Comfort AlertTM module is designed only for single-phase systems with scroll compressors that have internal overload protection. By monitoring and analyzing data from the compressor and the thermostat demand, the module can detect the cause of electrical and system related failures without any sensors. A flashing LED indicator communicates the ALERT code and guides the service technician more quickly and accurately to the root cause of a problem.

NOTE: This module does not provide safety protection! The Comfort AlertTM module is a monitoring device and cannot control or shut down other devices.

LED Description (See Figure 2)

POWERLED(Green):indicatesvoltageispresent at the power connection of the module.

ALERT LED (Yellow): communicates an abnormal system condition through a unique flash code. The ALERT LED will flash a number of times consecutively, pause and then repeat the process. The number of consecutive flashes, defined as the Flash Code, correlates to a particular abnormal condition. Detailed descriptions of specific ALERT Flash Codes are shown in Table 1 of this manual.

R-410A specifications

Nordyne R-410A is a widely recognized refrigerant used in modern air conditioning and heat pump systems, known for its efficiency and environmentally friendly attributes. As a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant, R-410A has become the preferred choice for many manufacturers seeking to meet stringent environmental regulations while providing superior cooling performance.

One of the main features of R-410A is its higher energy efficiency compared to older refrigerants like R-22. This efficiency is primarily attributed to its higher pressure capabilities, which allow for improved heat transfer and reduced energy consumption in residential and commercial systems. As energy costs continue to rise, the use of R-410A in HVAC systems offers a viable solution for reducing utility bills while maintaining optimal comfort levels.

R-410A is also non-ozone-depleting, which sets it apart from many traditional refrigerants. While older refrigerants have been phased out due to their potential harm to the ozone layer, R-410A presents a sustainable alternative that aligns with environmental goals. It features a zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), making it a responsible choice for installations concerned with ecological impact.

In terms of technology, R-410A works effectively in both air conditioning and heat pump systems, providing reliable cooling in hot conditions and heat in colder months. It is compatible with a variety of system designs and can excel in both residential and commercial applications. Moreover, the thermodynamic properties of R-410A ensure consistent and reliable performance, regardless of the external temperature fluctuations.

Another characteristic of R-410A is its ability to operate at lower temperatures, which enhances its versatility. This capability allows for the design of systems that can function efficiently in a wider range of climate conditions. As a result, HVAC technicians and contractors benefit from its reliability and performance, leading to less frequent maintenance and enhanced customer satisfaction.

Lastly, R-410A systems are equipped with advanced components that improve overall functionality. These systems often include variable-speed compressors, which optimize energy use based on cooling demand, and advanced refrigerant management technologies that ensure safe and efficient operation.

In conclusion, Nordyne R-410A stands out as a superior refrigerant due to its energy efficiency, environmental benefits, and adaptability across a range of HVAC applications. As the industry continues to innovate and shift toward sustainable solutions, R-410A remains at the forefront of refrigerant technology, ensuring homeowners and businesses alike enjoy efficient and eco-friendly cooling options.
