1.5 General Operation
Refrigerant Cycle
Marvair heat pumps use R-410A refrigerant in a conventional vapor-compression refrigeration cycle to
transfer heat. In the cooling mode, a double blower assembly blows indoor air across the evaporator (indoor
coil). Liquid refrigerant passing through the evaporator is boiled into gas by heat removed from the air.
The warmed refrigerant gas enters the compressor where its temperature and pressure are increased. The
hot refrigerant gas condenses to liquid as heat is transferred to outdoor air blown across the condenser
(outdoor coil) by the condenser fan. Liquid refrigerant is metered into the evaporator through a metering
device to repeat the cycle. In the heating mode, the process is reversed.
8AA2024H-2060H models have 2-stage compressors with first stage cooling capacity approximately 65%
of the total cooling capacity. The 2-stage compressor provides lower start-up amps and is able to match
more precisely the cooling capacity of the heat pump with the heat load in the building. The 2-stage is only
operational in the cooling mode. A two stage cooling thermostat is required for all 2-stage compressors.
Heating Mode
During heating mode a special reversing valve reverses the flow of refrigerant through the system
exchanging the roles of the condenser and evaporator. Now the outdoor coil becomes the evaporator and
the indoor coil becomes the condenser. The refrigerant then flows through the outdoor coil, picks up heat
and becomes vaporized. The vapor then enters the compressor where it is compressed to a higher pressure
and temperature. Next it is pumped to the indoor coil where the heat will be released into the room. The
compressed refrigerant vapor will condense to its liquid state as it gives up heat. Finally, liquid flows
through a metering device into the evaporator where the cycle will be repeated.
Optional electric strip heat is available for all models. Please see Appendix A for instructions on field
installation of electric heat.
Ventilation Options
ASHRAE standard 62 requires 15 cfm of outside air per occupant of a classroom. To meet this requirement,
Marvair offers seven ventilation packages for every budget and requirement.
Configuration “C”: Up to 100% Modulating Economizer
The economizer reduces the cost of air conditioning by using outside air when acceptable to cool the
room (Free Cooling). The factory installed Marvair® economizer has integral pressure relief.
Control Board Logic: Upon a “Call for Cooling”, the economizer control board calculates whether the
HVAC operates in economizer mode or mechanical cooling mode based on outdoor temperature (dry bulb)
or temperature/humidity (enthalpy). When outdoor conditions are favorable for economizer cooling, the
damper drives open and modulates to maintain a 55ºF mixed air temperature through the supply grille.
When outdoor conditions are not favorable for economizer cooling, the economizer damper remains
closed, and the HVAC unit will operate in mechanical cooling mode.
Features Designed for Telecommunication applications:
Hydrogen Fault Input: When 24VAC is applied to the Emergency Ventilation (EV) input, the economizer
board forces the damper to open 100% for emergency ventilation. The compressor does not operate during
Hydrogen Fault/Emergency Ventilation.
Forced Mechanical Cooling: When 24VAC is applied to the FC input of the economizer board, the
economizer damper is forced closed, and the HVAC will operate in mechanical cooling mode. This is
considered as economizer override in the event economizer cooling is not sufficient for the heat load.
Thermostat must provide the fan “G” signal to HVAC to activate the indoor blower.

9Marvair 8AA1024H-1060H & 8AA2024H-2060H I&O Manual 06/2023 Rev.2
Economizer Status: The economizer board has contacts that when used with the Marvair CommStat 4
Telecom HVAC Controller, change state to provide feedback to the CommStat 4 to indicate when the
HVAC is in economizer mode verses mechanical cooling mode. This feedback allows the CommStat 4
to initiate the forced cooling feature to override economizer cooling and force mechanical cooling.
When used with minimum position potentiometer (optional), the Marvair® economizer can meet
requirements of ASHRAE Std. 62.
Configuration “D”: Two-Position Motorized Fresh Air Damper w/Pressure Relief Ventilation
Control Board Logic: The 92589 control board allows the position of the “D” damper to be set for desired
outside air intake from fully closed to fully open. Setting 15 of the control board configuration menu
allows the user to set the position from 20 (2VDC / Closed) to 100 (10VDC 100% open). The damper
position can be adjusted in 1VDC increments to any position from closed to 100% open as required.
Operation: Anytime the indoor blower operates, the damper drives open to the position selected in the
control board configuration menu setting 15. When the indoor blower stops operation the motorized
damper spring returns to the fully closed position.
Note: This circuit does not interrupt the compressor or heater operation.
Configuration “E”: Two-Position Motorized Fresh Air Damper w/Pressure Relief Ventilation &
Independent Control
Control Board/Factory Installed Relay Logic: The 92589 control board allows the position of the “E”
damper to be set for desired outside air intake from fully closed to fully open. Setting 15 of the control
board configuration menu allows the user to set the position from 20 (2VDC / Closed) to 100 (10VDC
100% open). The damper position can be adjusted in 1VDC increments to any position from closed to
100% open as required.
Operation: Upon a “Call for Motorized damper” via a 24V signal from an external user-installed device,
the motorized damper opens to the position selected in the control board configuration menu setting 15
and the indoor blower operates. A 24VAC signal {sourced from LVTB 24VAC “R” and supplied through
a user-provided Normally Open (NO) contact} activates (opens) the Motorized Damper and connected
Relief Damper. When the 24VAC signal is removed, the motorized damper spring returns to the fully
closed position and the indoor blower stops operation. The motorized damper Does NOT open when
there is a call for the indoor fan (G).
Note: This circuit does not interrupt the compressor or heater operation.
Configuration “F”: No Free Cooling, 100%- Damper Opening, Emergency Ventilation Only w/
Pressure Relief and Independent Control
Factory Installed Relay Logic: Upon a “Call for emergency ventilation”, from an external user-provided
device; the motorized damper opens to 100% open position and the indoor blower is forced to operate.
During “Emergency Ventilation mode”, the compressor and heater do not operate. The relay has a wire
lead extended for the installer to connect their emergency ventilation control signal.
Note: This circuit interrupts the compressor and heater operation and forces the indoor blower and damper
to operate during emergency ventilation mode.
Configuration “H”: GreenWheel® ERV Energy Recovery Ventilator (Optional)
Allows independent control of the exhaust and intake blowers. When used, the standard speed controller
operates the intake blower and the optional second controller, the exhaust blower. Individual blower
control allows positive pressurization of the classroom. Field or factory installed.
The Marvair GreenWheel® ERV is a total energy (both sensible and latent) wheel that reduces both

10
Marvair 8AA1024H-1060H & 8AA2024H-2060H I&O Manual 06/2023 Rev.2
construction and operating cost while ventilating the classroom to ASHRAE 62-1999 requirements. The
use of the GreenWheel ERV reduces the energy load of the outside air. Exhausting stale, inside air keeps
indoor pollutants and harmful gases to a minimum. The Marvair GreenWheel ERV has been tested and
certified according to ARI Standard 1060.
How It Works: During the summer, cool dry air from the classroom is exhausted through the GreenWheel
ERV to the outside. As the air passes through the rotating wheel, the desiccant becomes cooler and
drier. Simultaneously, hot humid air is being pulled across the rotating wheel. The cool, dry desiccant
absorbs moisture and heat from the incoming air. The cooler, drier air is mixed with the return air from
the classroom and distributed throughout the room.
In the winter, warm moist air is exhausted through the GreenWheel ERV to the outside. As the air passes
through the rotating wheel, the desiccant becomes warmer and absorbs moisture. Simultaneously, cold
dry air is being pulled across the rotating wheel. The cold, dry air absorbs heat and moisture from the
desiccant. The warmed air is mixed with the return air from the classroom and distributed throughout
the room.
Quality Components: The GreenWheel ERV Ventilation package consists of the GreenWheel cassette, an
incoming air blower, an exhaust air blower, an air filter for the incoming air and one fan speed controller
that controls the speed of both blower motors simultaneously. As an option, a second fan speed controller
can be factory installed for independent control of the exhaust air motor and positive pressurization of
the classroom. Also, an optional filter on the exhaust air is available on selected models. Please consult
your Marvair representative for details. The two blowers simultaneously pull fresh air from outside and
exhaust air from the classroom through the rotating wheel. The air streams are separated by an insulated
partition so that the incoming fresh air is not mixed with the exhaust air. Two variable speed blowers
ensure that up to 450 CFM of outside air can be brought into the room and the indoor air is properly
exhausted. Variable speed blowers permit that the desired quantity of outside air is delivered into the
room. Optional independent exhaust air blower control allows positive pressurization of the classroom,
i.e., more outside air can be introduced through the GreenWheel ERV than is exhausted.
Configuration “N”: Barometric Fresh Air Damper (Standard)
Barometric damper capable of up to 15% of rated airflow of outside air; field adjustable, no pressure relief.
Hot Gas Reheat (HGR) Dehumidification Mode (Special Option “G”)
When the HGR is in the dehumidification mode, the hot gas reheat (HGR) coil is energized. The cooled,
dehumidified air exits the evaporator coil and is blown through the HGR coil. This coil is sized to the
sensible capacity of the unit. The heat in the HGR coil is transferred to the air stream. The use of the HGR
coil allows the indoor humidity of the classroom to be maintained at or below a certain set humidity set
point without over cooling the classroom. These units can not add humidity to the classroom.
The operation of the HGR coil is controlled by a humidity controller. If the humidity rises above the set
point on the controller and the temperature in the classroom is satisfied, both mechanical cooling and
the HGR coil operate to temper the air and lower the humidity. If the temperature in the classroom rises
above or falls below the set point of thermostat and the unit is operating in the dehumidification mode,
the need for cooling or heating will override the call for dehumidification and the HGR coil is disengaged
until the thermostat is satisfied. This assures the classroom temperature is maintained as first priority
and humidity control is second.
The humidity controller or BAS control is required for proper operation of the HGR coil.

1.6 Options
Low Ambient Control
The low ambient control permits mechanical cooling when outdoor ambient temperatures are low. The
control uses a reverse-acting high pressure switch to cycle the condenser fan motor according to liquid
refrigerant pressure conditions. Switch closure and fan operation occurs when the pressure reaches 400
PSIG. The switch opens again when the refrigerant pressure falls to 245 PSIG. Therefore, the outdoor
fan always starts after the compressor, and it will cycle frequently during normal operation at low
outdoor conditions.
Hard Start Kit
Used on single phase equipment to give the compressor higher starting torque under low voltage conditions.
Field installed only. (Not generally recommended for use on scroll compressor.)
Adjustable Outdoor Thermostat
Will not allow electric resistance heat to be energized unless the outdoor temperature is below the desired
set point. Field or factory installed. Available on all 8AA units. P/N 93934
Single Point Feed
When multiple internal disconnects are used, single point feed permits only one field power supply to
heat pump. Field installed only. Available on all Marvair heat pump units.
Energy Management System (EMS)
Relay to control the heat pump. Available in 24, 120 or 240 VAC. Field or factory installed.
Electric Reheat for Dehumidification
Control provides simultaneous operation of compressor when in cooling mode and the electric elements
to provide dehumidification without over cooling the room. The electric element (kW) must be properly
sized for each model for proper operation. Factory installed. Available on all Marvair 8AA heat pumps.
Consult factory for details.
Hot Gas Reheat (HGR)
Marvair® heat pumps equipped with the Hot Gas Reheat (HGR) allow the indoor humidity of the controlled
environment to be maintained at or below a certain humidity set point. These units do not have the ability
to add humidity to the classroom.
Dehumidification is achieved by operating mechanical cooling in conjunction with a hot gas reheat coil.
The coil is sized approximately to the sensible capacity of the total tonnage of the machine.
Speed Control for GreenWheel®ERV Exhaust Blower
For separate control of the exhaust blower. When used, the standard speed controller operates the intake
blower and the optional second controller the exhaust blower. Individual blower control allows positive
pressurization of the classroom. Can be factory or field installed.
Cold Climate Kit (Marvair Heat Pumps in Cooling Mode)
Controls and components which allow the units to operate in extremely cold temperatures. The kit
includes a suction line accumulator, thermal expansion valve (TXV), crankcase heater, hard start kit,
and an outdoor thermostat and fan cycle switch. The fan cycle control is standard on all Marvair 8AA
heat pumps and operates based upon the liquid line pressure. The outside thermostat opens whenever
the outside temperature is below 50°F (10°C) and closes when the outside temperature is 50°F (10°C)
or higher. Whenever the temperature is below 50°F (10°C), the fan cycle switch is in the circuit; when
temperatures are 50°F (10°C) or higher, the fan cycle switch is not in the circuit. The outdoor thermostat
is used with a TXV to prevent excessive cycling or “hunting” of the TXV.
Desert Duty (Marvair Heat Pumps in Cooling Mode)
Controls and components which allow the units to operate in very hot ambients (131°F/55°C). Includes
a thermal expansion valve, a sealed condenser fan motor, slotted base pan and a sealed control box. A
closed loop design on the heat pump unit insures that no outside air is introduced into the shelter.

Conguration Menu Details
1. AC/HP Select: This setting allows the PCB to be congured for AC (air-conditioner) or HP (heat-
pump). The system type is congured at the factory during production testing for the appropriate
system type. The default system type is AC.
2. IBM Select: This setting allows the IBM (Indoor Blower) control signal to be congured for
PWM or 0-10vdc control. The default control output signal is PWM.
3. Fan Purge: This setting allows the delay off time of the indoor blower once the call for the indoor
blower has been removed. The selections are N (no delay) or 10-90 seconds. After the default time
of 90 seconds the indoor blower will shut off. Selecting the N (no delay) will allow the Indoor
blower to shut off immediately after any request has been removed.
4. IBM Y1 Set: This is an independent setting for the speed at which the Indoor blower will operate
upon a request for Y1 (1st stage cooling) via Digital Input or Modbus. The default setting for
the IBM Y1 Set is 80% of maximum speed. The speed may be adjusted from 40-100% in 1%
increments to meet desired airow requirements. Note: Adjusting the speed too low will result
in coil freezing.
5. IBM Y2 Set: This is an independent setting for the speed at which the Indoor blower will operate
upon a request for Y2 (2nd stage cooling) via Digital Input or Modbus. The default setting for
the IBM Y1 Set is 100% of maximum speed. The speed may be adjusted from 40-100% in 1%
increments to meet desired airow requirements.
Note: Adjusting the speed too low will result in coil freezing, low-pressure or high-pressure lockout.
6. OFM Select: This setting allows the IBM (Indoor Blower) control signal to be congured for
PWM or 0-10vdc control. The default control output signal is PWM.
7. OFM Set: This is an independent setting for the max speed at which the Outdoor fan will operate.
The default setting for the OFM Set is 80% of maximum speed. The speed may be adjusted from
65-100% in 1% increments to meet desired airow requirements.
Note: Adjusting the speed too low will result in coil freezing, low-pressure or high-pressure lockout.
8. Defrost Timer: The defrost timer only applies to Heat-pump systems (when setting 1 is set to
HP). This is the accumulation timer used to monitor for heat-pump defrost control. The selections
for defrost timing is 30, 60 and 90 minutes. The defrost timer accumulates the compressor runtime
in the heat-pump mode and monitors the defrost sensor for freezing conditions to initiate a defrost
cycle at the selected defrost timing interval. The default defrost time is 30 minutes.
9. EHDD Set: The Electric heat during defrost setting allows the electric heat to operate when a
defrost cycle is being performed in heat-pump mode. The selections for the EHDD Set are Y (yes)
or N (no). When set to N (no) the electric heat will not operate automatically during a defrost
cycle in heat-pump mode. When the EHDD Set is set to Y (yes, Default) the electric heat will
operate upon each defrost cycle in the heat-pump mode.
Note: EHDD and SCKT cannot both be set to the Y (yes) selection at the same time. SCKT takes
priority over EHDD.
10. SCKT Set: The SCKT setting is used to prevent simultaneous operation of the electric heat and
compressor. The selections for the SCKT Set are Y (yes) or N (no). When set to N (no, Default)
the electric heat will be allowed to operate with the compressor in heat-pump mode upon a call

16
Marvair 8AA1024H-1060H & 8AA2024H-2060H I&O Manual 06/2023 Rev.2
for W2 (auxiliary / emergency heat). When the SCKT Set is set to Y (yes) the electric heat will
not be allowed to operate with the compressor in the heat-pump mode. When set to Y (yes) and
upon a request for W2 (auxiliary / emergency heat) the compressor will shut off and the electric
heat will operate.
Note: SCKT and EHDD cannot both be set to the Y (yes) selection at the same time. SCKT takes
priority over EHDD.
11. ODS Set: The ODS Set is used to set the Outdoor Sensor temperature for Heat-pump systems.
When the system type is congured for Heat-pump (when setting 1 is set to HP), the ODS Set
allows the outdoor sensor to be used to govern when electric heat is allowed to operate. When
the outdoor temperature is below the ODS setpoint, the electric heat will be allowed to operate.
The adjustable range is 0F-70F in 1F increments with a default setpoint of 50F.
12. ECONO Select: The ECONO Select is used to select whether the system has an economizer
system installed or not. When set to the Y (yes) selection the system will include the economizer
cooling algorithm within its sequence of operation and utilize the economizer package when
conditions are favorable for economizer cooling. When set to the N (no) selection the system will
only utilize the compressor for cooling operation. This setting is congured at the factory during
production testing for the appropriate system type.
Note: When ECONO Set is set to Y (yes) the system must have an Enthalpy or Dry Bulb and
Supply Air sensor connected and properly selected in setting 13 in order to operate in economizer
cooling. The system will default to compressor cooling if any sensor becomes disconnected or
faulty. Changing the ECONO Select to N (no) will disable economizer operation and the economizer
function will be ignored.
13. SensorType: This setting is used for selecting the type of economizer sensor used EN (Enthalpy) or
DB (Dry Bulb). The appropriate sensor must be connected and selected for economizer operation.
This setting is congured at the factory during production testing for the appropriate sensor type.
14. ECONO Set: This setting is used to set the economizer setpoint at which the economizer is
allowed to operate for cooling. When setting 13 is set for EN (Enthalpy), the selections are A=
73F, B=70F, C=67F, D=63F and E=55F all at 50% relative humidity. The A – E selections will only
be available when setting 13 is set to EN (Enthalpy). When setting 13 is set for DB (Dry Bulb),
the selection is from 20F to 105F in 1F increments. The 20F-105F range will only be available
when setting 13 is set to DB (Dry Bulb).
15. MIN POS: The MIN POS setting is for setting the minimum position of the economizer or
motorized damper. When set above 20 (2vdc) the damper will remain open to the selected position
at all times, hence minimum position. The adjustable range is from 20 (2vdc) to 100 (10vdc) in
1vdc increments.
16. W2 Speed: This is an independent setting for the speed at which the Indoor blower will operate
upon a request for W2 (Electric heat) via Digital Input or Modbus. The default setting for the W2
speed is 100% of maximum speed. The speed may be adjusted from 70-100% in 1% increments
to meet desired airow requirements.
Note: Adjusting the speed too low will result in increased supply air temperatures in electric heat
mode.
17. Dehum Speed: This is an independent setting for the speed at which the Indoor blower will operate
upon a request for HUM (Dehumidication) via Digital Input or Modbus. The default setting for

17 Marvair 8AA1024H-1060H & 8AA2024H-2060H I&O Manual 06/2023 Rev.2
the Dehum speed is 80% of maximum speed. The speed may be adjusted from 60-100% in 1%
increments to meet desired airow requirements.
18. DS Calibration: This setting is used to calibrate the defrost sensor from 0 to -18F.
19. SAS Calibration: This setting is used to calibrate the supply air sensor from 0 to -18F.
20. T’STAT Select: The thermostat type can be selected with this setting for an option of H=
Hardwired 24vac Thermostat or C = Communicating Thermostat via Modbus. The default setting
is H= Hardwired 24vac Thermostat.
21. Modbus ID: This setting allows the Modbus ID to be entered for Modbus communications for
the unit. The range for the Modbus ID is 1 – 36161 the default Modbus ID is 1.
22. Modbus Baud Rate: This setting allows the Modbus Baud Rate to be entered for Modbus
communications. The available Baud Rates are 9.6= 9600 and 19= 19200. The default Modbus
Baud Rate is 19 = 19200.
23. Modbus Timeout: This is the setting for the Modbus communications timeout in minutes. The
range of communications timeout is from 25 minutes to 21916 minutes. The default communications
timeout is 25 minutes.
24. Test: The Test feature has two options Y= Yes or N= No. When this setting is set to Y=Yes, all
circuit timers are reduced to expedite testing for various system operations. When set to N=No,
all circuit timers are used in their default conguration and normal operation.
25. Software Version Number: The software version of the 92589-control board will be displayed
on the seven-segment display. This is for informational purposes only.
2.4 Operation
Power
The Marvair PCB requires 24 VAC to operate. When the board is sufciently powered, the “PWR” status
light on the PCB illuminates “Green.” When the power supply voltage is 16vac or less for 10 seconds the
control board will de-energize all outputs. This is considered a voltage brownout (low voltage) condition
and the display of the control board will show “03” as an indicator of brownout (low voltage). When
the voltage rises back to 17 VAC, the control board will allow the system to operate.
Note: The nominal power supply for the control board is 24 VAC and this voltage should be conrmed
during startup to assure normal operation.
Communication
The Marvair PCB comes equipped the Modbus communications standard. There are 2 adjacent RJ11
Modbus communication ports connected in parallel. That is, both ports transmit the same information.
The board allows you to set the Baud Rate at 9600 bits per second or 19200 bits per second. The board
also allows the Modbus ID to be selected in the conguration menu with the available range from 1 to
36161. The default Modbus ID is 1. See section 2.1 for reference.
2.5 Sequence of Operation
IMPORTANT
All equipment should go through the recommended commissioning/start up sequence
to ensure safety and system reliability. This document is only valid if the system is
used as intended.
This section denes the manner and method of control of the HVAC system. It will cover the

1.0 Indoor Blower Operation
The speed at which the indoor blower will operate is based on the discrete operational inputs that have
24vac applied. These inputs are listed below.
1.1 G Input – A request for Fan Only (independent G-signal via Digital input or Modbus), results in
the indoor motor turning “ON” and operating at the “Y2” (BY DEFAULT) motor speed (Only
Applicable for EC motors).
1.2 Y1 Input – A request for Y1 (independent Y1-signal via Digital input or Modbus), results in
the indoor motor turning “ON” and operating at the “Y1” motor speed (Only Applicable for
EC motors).
1.3 Y2 Input – A request for Y2 (independent Y2-signal via Digital input or Modbus), results in
the indoor motor turning “ON” and operating at the “Y2” motor speed (Only Applicable for
EC motors).
1.4 W2 Input – A request for W2 (independent W2-signal via Digital input or Modbus), results in
the indoor motor turning “ON” and operating at the “W2” motor speed (Only Applicable for
EC motors).
1.5 HUM Input – A request for HUM (independent HUM-signal via Digital input or Modbus), results
in the indoor motor turning “ON” and operating at the “HUM” motor speed (Only Applicable
for EC motors).
When there is a request for Indoor Fan (G-input High) along with a request for cooling, heating or
dehumidication, the G-Input becomes lowest priority. This means that in any combination involving
the G-input, the speed associated to Fan Only will never take precedence.
The priority list from Highest to Lowest goes as follows:
1. Y2 - Request
2. Y1 - Request
3. W2 - Request
4. HUM - Request
5. G - Request
Note: The priority list above also describes the operation that takes precedence in the event that there
is a request for all operations or a combination of operations. The controller will NOT energize the
compressor outputs and the heater output simultaneously if congured for AC. The controller WILL
energize the compressor outputs and the heater output simultaneously if congured for HP.
The speed at which the Indoor Fan Operates during Stage 1 (Y1) and Stage 2 (Y2) Cooling Request can
be set directly at the board using the conguration menu settings 4 and 5. All requests are interlocked
with the Indoor Fan and will run the Fan at the respective speed associated with the operation. This
means that a lone call for Stage 1 (Y1) Cooling will automatically run the Indoor Fan at Stage 1 (Y1)
Cooling Speed even without a request for Indoor Fan. This holds true for all request.

2.1 Mechanical Cooling (AC systems) – This section will describe the sequence of operation which
takes place during Direct Expansion (DX) cooling from a control standpoint.
Note: The system type must be congured for “AC” operation in setting 1 of the conguration
menu of the control board for proper AC system operation. This system type is selected at the
factory and there’s no need to change this setting.
2.1.1 Y1 Cooling (Partial Capacity 1st Stage) – In normal operating mode, a request for
“Stage1 Cooling” Y1-signal via Digital input or Modbus), energizes Compressor 1 Relay
Output (CC1) on the PCB. The controller provides a continuous control signal associated
to the Indoor Fan Motor, that is proportional to the “Y1” speed setting on the board or
via Modbus. It also outputs a request dependent (based on FCC IN) control signal for
the Outdoor Fan Motor (Only applicable to ECM motors). In Stage 1 Cooling operation,
the compressor operates at partial capacity and the indoor fan remains on continuously
but the outdoor fan modulates based on liquid line temperature. The Fan Cycle Control
Sensor (Low Ambient Control Sensor) monitors the liquid line to maintain a 90F liquid
line temperature. When the liquid line temperature is below 80F the outdoor fan will
shut off. A liquid line temperature above 115F will force the outdoor fan to operate at
the maximum speed set on the control board for setting 7 in the conguration menu. The
outdoor fan will speed up and slow down between liquid line temperature of 80F and
115F. Systems with (PSC Outdoor Motors) utilizes a Fan Cycle Switch which closes at
400 PSIG to energize the OFR (outdoor fan relay) to start the outdoor fan which runs
until the switch reopens (at 290 PSIG). These outputs function as described until the
Cooling setpoint is satised. This is considered as ON/OFF fan cycle control and the
PSC motor will not modulate.
Note: Single Stage compressors operate at full capacity upon a request for Y1.
2.1.2 Y1 and Y2 Cooling (Full Capacity 2nd Stage) – If the space temperature continues to
increase pass the dened differential, Stage 2 Cooling (Y2-input) is energized. Under
normal operation, this energizes the Compressor 2 Output (CC2). The Indoor Fan motor,
will operate at “Y2” speed instead of “Y1” speed since Y2 has higher priority. These
outputs remain energized until the cooling setpoint is satised. Once the setpoint is
satised, the Compressor and the Outdoor fan outputs are de-energized. The Indoor motor
continues to run based on the fan purge timer setpoint (default 90 seconds) selected in
setting 3 of the conguration menu of the control board.
Note: 2 Stage compressors require a request for Y2 to operate at full capacity in Cooling
operation. All Air-conditioners and Heat Pump systems with 2 stage compressors are
allowed 2 stage cooling operation.
2.2 Mechanical Cooling (HP systems) – This section will describe the sequence of operation which
takes place during Direct Expansion (DX) cooling from a control standpoint. The reversing
valve (O Input) must be energized for Cooling operation on Heat Pump systems.
Note: The system type must be congured for “HP” operation in setting 1 of the conguration
menu of the control board for proper HP system operation. This system type is selected at the
factory and there’s no need to change this setting.
2.2.1 Y1+ O Cooling (Partial Capacity 1st Stage) – In normal operating mode, a request for
“Stage1 Cooling” Y1 + O signal via Digital input or Modbus), energizes the Reversing
Valve Output (RV) and Compressor 1 Relay Output (CC1) on the PCB. The controller
provides a continuous control signal associated to the Indoor Fan Motor, that is proportional
