CAUTION: To prevent personal injury wear safety
glasses, protective clothing, and gloves when handling
refrigerant.
CAUTION: Back seating service valves are not
equipped with Schrader valves. Fully back seat (counter
clockwise) valve stem before removing gage port cap.
CAUTION: Federal regulations require that you do not
vent refrigerant to atmosphere. Recover during system
repair or final unit disposal.
Follow these steps to properly start up the system:
1. Fully back seat (open) liquid and vapor service valves.
2. Unit is shipped with valve stem(s) front seated (closed) and
caps installed. Replace stem caps after system is opened to
refrigerant flow (back seated). Replace caps finger-tight and
tighten with wrench an additional 1/12 turn. Use a backup
wrench on valve body flats to prevent distortion of sheet
metal.
3. Close electrical disconnects to energize system.
4. Set room thermostat at desired temperature. Be sure set
point is below indoor ambient temperature.
5. Set room thermostat to HEAT or COOL and fan control to
ON or AUTO mode, as desired. Operate unit for 15
minutes. Check system refrigerant charge.
CAUTION:
• 3–phase scroll compressors are rotation sensitive.
• A flashing LED on phase monitor indicates reverse
rotation. (See Fig. 13 and Table 3.)
• This will not allow contactor to be energized.
• Disconnect power to unit and interchange 2 field wiring
leads on unit contactor.
A. Sequence Of Operation
NOTE: Defrost control board is equipped with a 5-minute lock-
out timer which may be initiated upon an interruption of power.
With power supplied to indoor and outdoor units, transformer is
energized.
COOLING
On a call for cooling, thermostat makes circuits R-O, R-Y, and
R-G. Circuit R-O energizes reversing valve, switching it to cooling
position. On three phase models with scroll compressors, the units
are equipped with a phase monitor to detect if the incoming power
is correctly phased for compressor operation. If the phasing is
correct, circuit R-Y energizes contactor, starting outdoor fan motor
and compressor circuit. R-G energizes indoor unit blower relay,
starting indoor blower motor on high speed.
NOTE: If the phasing is incorrect, the contactor will not be
energized. To correct the phasing interchange any two of the three
power connections on the field side.
When thermostat is satisfied, contacts open, de-energizing the
contactor and blower relay. Compressor and motors should stop.
NOTE: If indoor unit is equipped with a time-delay relay circuit,
the blower runs an additional 90 sec to increase system efficiency.
HEATING
On a call for heating, thermostat makes circuits R-Y and R-G. If
phasing is correct, circuit R-Y energizes contactor, starting out-
door fan motor and compressor. Circuit R-G energizes indoor
blower relay, starting blower motor on high speed.
Should temperature continue to fall, R-W2 is made through
sec-stage room thermostat bulb. Circuit R-W2 energizes a se-
quencer, bringing on first bank of supplemental electric heat and
providing electrical potential to sec heater relay (if used). If
outdoor temperature falls below setting of outdoor thermostat
(field-installed option), contacts close to complete circuit and bring
on sec bank of supplemental electric heat.
When thermostat is satisfied, its contactors open, de-energizing
contactor and sequencer. All heaters and motors should stop.
QUIET SHIFT
Quiet Shift is a field-selectable defrost mode, which will eliminate
occasional noise that could be heard at the start of the defrost cycle
and restarting of heating cycle. It is selected by placing DIP switch
3 (on defrost board) in ON position.
When Quiet Shift switch is placed in ON position, and a defrost is
initiated, the following sequence of operation will occur. Revers-
ing valve will energize, compressor will turn off for 30 sec, then
turn back on to complete defrost. At the start of heating cycle after
conclusion of defrost mode, reversing valve will de-energize, the
compressor will turn off for another 30 sec, and the fan will turn
off for 40 sec, before starting in the heating mode.
DEFROST
The defrost control is a time/temperature control which includes a
field-selectable time period (DIP switch 1 and 2 on the board)
between defrost cycles of 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes (factory set at
90 minutes).
To initiate a forced defrost, two options are available depending on
the status of the defrost thermostat.
If defrost thermostat is closed, speedup pins (J1) must be shorted
by placing a flat head screw driver in between for 5 sec and
releasing, to observe a complete defrost cycle. When the Quiet
Shift switch is selected, compressor will be turned off for two 30
sec intervals during this complete defrost cycle as explained
previously. When Quiet Shift switch is in factory default OFF
position, a normal and complete defrost cycle will be observed.
If defrost thermostat is in open position, and speedup pins are
shorted (with a flat head screw driver) for 5 sec and released, a
short defrost cycle will be observed (actual length is dependent
upon the selected Quiet Shift position). When Quiet Shift switch is
in ON position, the length of defrost is 1 minute (30 sec
compressor off period followed by 30 sec of defrost with com-
pressor operation). On return to heating operation, compressor will
again turn off for an additional 30 sec and the fan for 40 sec. When
the Quiet Shift is in OFF position, only a brief 30 sec cycle will be
observed.
If it is desirable to observe a complete defrost in warmer weather,
the thermostat must be closed as follows:
1. Turn off power to outdoor unit.
2. Disconnect outdoor fan motor lead from OF2 on control
board (See Fig. 13.) Tape to prevent grounding.
3. Restart unit in heating mode, allowing frost to accumulate
on outdoor coil.
4. After a few minutes in heating mode, liquid line tempera-
ture should drop below closing point of defrost thermostat
(approximately 30°F).
NOTE: Unit will remain in defrost until defrost thermostat
reopens at approximately 80°F coil temperature at liquid line or
remainder of defrost cycle time.
5. Turn off power to outdoor and reconnect fan motor lead to
OF2 on control board after above forced defrost cycle.
