Safety Features
The following safety features are provided to protect
the compressor, heat exchangers, wiring and other
components from damage caused by operation outside of
design conditions.
Anti-Short Cycle Protection- The control features a 5
minute anti-short cycle protection for the compressor.
Note: The 5 minute anti-short cycle also occurs at
power up.
Random Start - The control features a random start upon
power up of from 5-80 seconds.
Fault Retry - In Fault Retry mode, the Status LED begins
slow flashing to signal that the control is trying to recover
from a fault input. The CXM control will stage off the
outputs and then “try again” to satisfy the thermostat "Y"
input call. Once the thermostat input calls are satisfied,
the control will continue on as if no fault occured. If 3
consecutive faults occur without satisfying the thermostat
"Y" input call, then the control will go to Lockout mode.
The last fault causing the lockout will be stored in
memory and can be viewed by going into test mode.
Lockout - In Lockout mode, the Status LED will
begin fast flashing. The compressor relay is turned
off immediately. Lockout mode can be soft reset via
the thermostat “Y” input or can be hard reset via the
disconnect. The last fault causing the lockout will be
stored in memory and can be viewed by going into test
mode.
Lockout with Emergency Heat - While in Lockout mode,
if W becomes active, then Emergency Heat mode will
occur.
High Pressure Switch - When the High Pressure Switch
opens due to high refrigerant pressures, the Compressor
relay is de-energized immediately since the High Pressure
Switch is in series with the compressor contactor coil.
The High Pressure Fault recognition is immediate as well.
High Pressure Lockout Code = 2
Example: 2 quick flashes, 10 sec pause, 2 quick flashes,
10 sec. pause, etc.
Low Pressure Switch - The Low Pressure Switch must be
open and remain open for 30 continuous seconds during
"on" cycle to be recognized as a Low Pressure fault. If
the low pressure switch is open for 30 seconds prior to
compressor power up it will be considered a low pressure
(loss of charge) fault. The Low Pressure Switch input is
bypassed for the initial 60 seconds of a compressor run
cycle. Low Pressure Lockout Code = 3.
thermistor temperature must be below the selected freeze
protection limit setting for 30 continuous seconds during
a compressor run cycle to be recognized as a FP1 fault.
The FP1 input is bypassed for the initial 60 seconds of a
compressor run cycle. FP1 Lockout Code = 4.
Air Coil Freeze Protection (FP2) - The FP2 thermistor
temperature must be below the selected freeze protection
limit setting for 30 continuous seconds during a
compressor run cycle to be recognized as a FP2 fault.
The FP2 input is bypassed for the initial 60 seconds of a
compressor run cycle. FP2 Lockout Code = 5.
Condensate Overflow - The Condensate Overflow sensor
must sense overflow levels for 30 continuous seconds to
be recognized as a CO fault. Condensate Overflow will be
monitored at all times. CO Lockout Code = 6.
Over/Under Voltage Shutdown - An Over/Under Voltage
condition exists when the control voltage is outside the
range of 19Vac to 30Vac. Over/Under Voltage Shutdown
is self resetting in that if the voltage comes back within
range of 19Vac to 30Vac for at least 0.5 seconds, then
normal operation is restored. This is not considered a fault
or lockout. If the CXM is in over/under voltage shutdown
for 15 minutes, the alarm relay will close. Over/Under
Voltage Shutdown Code = 7.
Unit Performance Sentinel-UPS (patent pending) - The
UPS feature warns when the heat pump is operating
inefficiently. A UPS condition exists when:
a) in heating mode with compressor energized, if FP2 is
greater than 125°F for 30 continuous seconds,
or
b) in cooling mode with compressor energized, if FP1 is
greater than 125°F for 30 continuous seconds, or FP2
is less than 40°F for 30 continuous seconds.
If a UPS condition occurs, the control will immediately go
to UPS warning. The status LED will remain on as if the
control is on Normal mode. (see"LED and Alarm Relay
Operation Table" ). Outputs of the control, excluding LED
and Alarm Relay, will NOT be affected by UPS. The UPS
condition cannot occur during a compressor off cycle.
During UPS warning, the alarm relay will cycle on and
off. The cycle rate will be On for 5 seconds, Off for 25
seconds, On for 5 seconds, Off for 25 seconds, etc. Unit
Performance Sentinel Warning Code = 8.
