verify system operation and compatibility with the heat pump. Refer to the installation instructions for this equipment and perform a functional checkout in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Indoor Blower
1.Turn the fan mode to ON. Verify that the indoor blower is operating and that airfl ow is not restricted.
2.Set the fan mode back to AUTO. Blower will operate at a decreased speed on continuous fan.
Short Cycle Protection
1.With the system operating in COOLING mode, record the setpoint temperature setting of the thermostat.
2.Gradually raise the setpoint temperature until the outdoor unit and indoor blower de- energize.
3.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
4.After approximately 3 minutes, verify that the outdoor unit energizes and the temperature of the air supplied to the facility is cooler than ambient temperature.
Defrost Cycle Control
The defrost cycle is controlled by an Adaptive Demand Defrost algorithm that monitors coil temperature and ambient temperature. Other features of the of the demand defrost board include:
•4 Field selectable defrost termination temperatures (50° F - 80° F coil temperature).
•Field selectable compressor delay feature.
•High pressure and low pressure switches.
•Sensing of second stage compressor demand.
•Test/speed up capability.
•Anti short cycle timer (3 minutes) for compressor protection.
•On board diagnostics with fl ashing LED for quicker troubleshooting. See Table 2.

Table 2. Control Diagnostic
Control is uncalibrated when power is applied. Calibration occurs after a defrost cycle. The control initiates this sacrifi cial defrost after 34 minutes of accumulated compressor run time in heating with coil temperature below 35° F. The defrost cycle terminates if coil sensor reaches selected termination temperature or after 14 minutes defrost.
Defrost function is disabled if coil temperature is above 35° F. If Ambient sensor is detected as open or shorted, demand defrost will not operate and control will revert to time/temperature defrost operation. If the outdoor coil sensor is detected as open or shorted, the control will not perform demand or time/temperature defrost operation. NOTE: When the defrost cycle initiates, there will be a 30 second compressor delay going into and out of the defrost cycle. This delay may be removed by removing P6 connector on the board.

NOTE: All units are shipped from the factory with the default termination temperature set at 70° F.
Defrost Test Procedure
1. Terminals R - C must have
2With heat mode thermostat demand (Y connected to R), short and hold the TEST pins together. This will energize reversing valve to initiate a forced defrost. NOTE: This will bypass the ASCD and allow the high stage compressor to come on immediately (if the REMOVE FOR NO DELAY jumper at P6 is removed). If the REMOVE FOR NO DELAY jumper at P6 is installed, the compressor will energize immediately following a
3.Remove the short on the TEST pins.
•If the Coil temperature is above theTerminate Temperature selection setting, the defrost cycle will be terminated (reversing valve will
•If the coil temperature is below theTerminate Temperature election setting, the defrost cycle will continue for 14 minutes or until the coil temperature rises above the Terminate Temperature selection setting.NOTE:Short the TEST pins for 1 second or more to force the control out of defrost and back to heating mode (reversing valve
