When supply-air temperature drops below a fixed set point,
the economizer damper modulates to maintain the tempera-
ture at the fixed set point.
A freeze protection thermostat (FPT) is located on the in-
door coil. It detects frost build-up and turns off the com-
pressor(s), allowing the coil to clear. Once frost has melted,
the compressor can be reenergized.
HEATING, UNITS WITHOUT ECONOMIZER — With unit
main power on, set thermostat at HEAT position and desired
room temperature. Set fan switch at AUTO. (on demand) or
ON (continuous) position.
On a drop in room temperature, heating contact no. 1 in
the thermostat closes, energizing heat relay (HR), reversing
valve relay (RVR), reversing valve solenoids (RVS1 and RVS2)
and compressor no. 2 contactor. Compressor (size 014) or
compressor no. 2 (size 016) and indoor and outdoor fan mo-
tors start. If the 5-minute CTD on the DB is satisfied, then
compressor no. 1 contactor is energized and compressor
no. 1 will start.
On units equipped with electric heat, when additional heat
is needed, heating contactor no. 2 in the thermostat closes,
energizing W2.
HEATING, UNITSWITH ECONOMIZER — With unit main
power on, set thermostat at HEAT position and desired room
temperature. Set fan switch at AUTO. (on demand) or ON
(continuous) position.
On a drop in room temperature, heating contact no. 1 in
the thermostat closes, energizing heat relay (HR), reversing
valve relay (RVR), reversing valve solenoids (RVS1 and RVS2)
and compressor no. 2 contactor. Compressor no. 2 (size 016)
and indoor and outdoor fan motors start. If the 5-minute com-
pressor time delay (CTD) on the defrost board (DB) is sat-
isfied, then compressor (size 014) or compressor no. 1
(size 016) contactor is energized and compressor will start.
The outdoor-air damper stays at vent position while the in-
door fan is operating.
On units equipped with electric heat, when additional heat
is needed, heating contactor no. 2 in the thermostat closes,
energizing W2.
DEFROST CYCLE — When the temperature of the out-
door coil drops below −2 C (28 F) as sensed by the defrost
thermostat (DFT1 or DFT2), the defrost timer starts. At the
end of a timed period (field set at 30, 50, or 90 minutes), the
defrost cycle will begin. The defrost board energizes termi-
nals O and W2, energizes the defrost relay (DR), deener-
gizes the reversing valve solenoids (RVS1 and RVS2), and
energizes the electric heat. The outdoor-fan motors stop.
The unit continues to defrost either until the coil tempera-
ture as measured by DFT1 or DFT2 reaches 18 C (65 F), or
until unit completes a 10-minute defrost cycle. See Fig. 21
for DFT location.
During the defrost mode, when a circuit defrosts, RVS will
oscillate between heating and cooling modes until defrost
mode is complete. This will prevent the head pressure from
getting too high.
At the end of the defrost cycle, the electric heaters (if ap-
plicable) will be deenergized, the reversing valve solenoids
will be energized, and the outdoor fans will start.
AUTOMATIC CHANGEOVER — When the system selec-
tion switch is set atAUTO. position, unit automatically changes
from heating operation to cooling operation when the tem-
perature of the conditioned space rises to the cooling lever
setting. When the temperature of the conditioned space falls
to the heating lever setting, unit automatically changes from
cooling to heating operation (with a 1.7 C [3 F] deadband in
between).
CONTINUOUS AIR CIRCULATION — Turn unit power
on. Set system control at OFF position. Set fan switch at ON
position. The indoor-fan contactor is energized through the
thermostat switch and the indoor fan runs continuously.
CYCLE-LOC™ PROTECTION — If unit operation is in-
terrupted by an open high-pressure switch, low-pressure switch,
indoor coil freezestat, or by compressor internal line-break
device (overcurrent or overtemperature), and compressor is
calling for either cooling or heating, Cycle-LOC protection
device simultaneously locks out unit and lights a warning
light on the thermostat. Restart the unit by manually turning
thermostat to OFF and then to ON position. If any of the
protective devices opens again, the unit continues to lock
out until corrective action is taken.
NOTE: If the unit fails to operate due to compressor over-
current condition, restart by manually resetting circuit break-
ers at the unit. Restart cannot be accomplished at the room
thermostat.
EMERGENCY HEAT — If compressor is inoperative due
to a tripped safety device (high or low pressure, indoor coil
freezestat, overcurrent, or overtemperature), the Cycle-LOC
device locks out the compressor and lights a warning light
on the room thermostat. When the switch is on (thermostat
is set to the EM HT position), compressor circuit and out-
door thermostats are bypassed, and the second stage of ther-
mostat energizes the indoor blower and the electric resistance
heaters.
SERVICE
Before performing service or maintenance operations on
unit, turn off main power switch to unit. Turn off ac-
cessory heater power switch if applicable. Electrical shock
could cause personal injury.
Cleaning — Inspect unit interior at beginning of each
heating and cooling season and as operating conditions re-
quire. Remove unit top panel and/or side panels for access
to unit interior.
INDOOR COIL— Clean as required with a commercial coil
cleaner.
OUTDOOR COIL — Clean outdoor coil annually and as
required by location and outdoor-air conditions. Inspect coil
monthly — clean as required.
CONDENSATE DRAIN — Check and clean each year at
start of cooling season.
FILTERS — Clean or replace at start of each heating and
cooling season, or more often if operating conditions re-
quire. Refer to Tables 1A and 1B for type and size.
