UNIT FEATURES
This premium unit has many features that
are different from those found on standard PTAC
models. The owner must be familiar with these
features in order to fully understand the operation and
capability of the unit.
• Intelligence – Your unit has an on board
computer that utilizes real time diagnostics to prolong
the life of the unit. There is an LED indicator on the
control board behind the front panel that will flash
an error code if the unit has detected some kind of
fault condition. In many cases the unit will
automatically clear the fault condition and continue
operating with no interruption. In some cases the
condition cannot be cleared and the unit will require service. In such cases an “Fx” failure mode will be
displayed on the digital display. For a detailed list of all error codes and “Fx” conditions, see Table 6.
Status LED Indicator Definitions for further details.
• Memory – This unit also has memory, so if power is lost all of the control settings (set point,
mode, fan speed, on/off and configuration) are retained. When power is restored the unit will
start back up in the mode and configuration it was in when power was lost.
• Sound Reduction – The unit has 2 fan motors and a tangential blower wheel for noise reduction.
The indoor fan will start a minimum of 10 seconds before the compressor. This helps reduce compressor
noise on start up.
• Random Compressor Restart - To help prevent power surges after a power outage (occurs when many
PTACs start at the same time) the compressor is equipped with a 2:45 min. to 3:15 min. random
restart delay feature. When the unit is plugged in or power has been restarted a random compressor
restart will occur.
• Compressor Protection - To prevent short cycling of the compressor and maximize it’s life, there is a
random start up delay of 3 minutes for the compressor and a minimum compressor run time of 3 minutes.
•Automatic Room Freeze Protection – Keeps the temperature in a room above freezing where pipes might
freeze. If the unit is configured for the freeze protection feature to be active, (which is the default condition),
when power is applied to the unit and the unit senses temperature below 40°F the fan motor and electric
heater are turned on and will warm the room to 50 °F. If Freeze Protection is not required change the
configuration switch to turn the feature off (see section on unit configuration).
• Automatic Defrost Protection (for heat pump models only) – When the outdoor temperature gets
to approx. 35 °F and the unit can no longer effectively heat with the compressor, the unit will
automatically switch to electric heating. The unit will then heat with electric heat until the outside
temperature rises to approx. 40 °F then compressor can be used again.
• Automatic Quick Warm-up (for heat pump models only) - If the room temperature falls to 5 °F
below the set point temperature the reverse cycle heat is shut off and the electric strip heat is turned on
for one cycle until heating set point is satisfied.
If the room temperature is less than 5°F from set point the compressor will be turned on in the heating function and
run until the room temperature is satisfied.
The electric strip heaters and the compressor will not operate simultaneously.
•LED Indicator’s and Buttons - The touch pad has buttons for MODE, FAN SPEED, ON/OFF,
SET POINT WARMER and SET POINT COOLER. It also has LEDs that correspond to the MODE,
FAN SPEED and SET POINT operation, to indicate the unit’s status. The LEDs below the MODE button,
FAN, COOL, and HEAT, indicate what operating mode is active. The LEDs below the FAN button, LOW,
MED and HI, indicate the fan speed that is selected. The LED located in the lower right corner is the unit
On/Off status LED. If the unit is in ON mode the LED will be green. If the unit is OFF, the LED will be red.
• Configure Fan to Optimize Selected Application - Unit can be optimized to selected application by
configuring the fan to run in continuous mode or cycle on and off with the compressor and electric
heater (can be different for both heating and cooling modes). In cycle mode, fan will continue to run after
compressor or electric heater stops in order to disperse any residual heat or cool left on the coil.
