Anti-short Cycle Timer
Thisunit hasananti-shortcycle timer builtintothe defrostcon-
trol.Thistimerwillnotpermit the compressor to startwithin five
minutesafter thecompletionofthe lastcycleorpowerinterrup-
tion. To bypass the anti-short cycle feature, short the “TEST”
pins together for 2 seconds.
The following sequences of operation are based on using a
standard single-stage heat pump thermostat.
COOLING OPERATION
1. When the fan switch on the thermostat is in the “ON” posi-
tion,the 24 voltsat“G” will bringontheindoorblowermotor
at the cooling airflow. When the fan switch on the thermo-
stat is in the “AUTO” position, the blower operates only
when there is a call for cooling by the thermostat.
2. On a call for cooling, the thermostat sends 24 volts to “Y”
and “O” on the fan control and defrost control boards. The
reversing valve solenoid is energized, and after the anti-
short cycle period is complete contactor coil M1 is ener-
gized.Powerissuppliedtothecompressorandoutdoorfan
motor, andthereversingvalveswitchedtothecoolingposi-
tion.Whenthefanswitchonthethermostatisinthe“AUTO”
positiontheindoorblowermotor is energized at the cooling
airflow.
3. When the demand for cooling has been satisfied, the 24
volt “Y” signal is removed, and the M1 contactor is de-
energized. When the fan switch on the thermostat is in the
“ON” position, the indoor blower motor continues to run. If
the fan switch is in the “AUTO” position. the indoor motor
ramps down over a 30-second period.
HEATING OPERATION
1. When the fan switch on the thermostat is in the “ON” posi-
tion,the24voltsat “G” brings on the indoor blower motor at
theheatingflow.Whenthefanswitchonthethermostatisin
the “AUTO” position, the blower operates when there is a
call for heating by the thermostat.
2. Onacallforheating,thethermostatsends24voltsto“Y”on
the fan control board. After the anti-short cycle period is
complete, the 24 volt signal energizes contactor coil M1
and power is supplied to the compressor and outdoor fan
motor. The reversing valve remains in the heating position.

sition,theindoorblowerisenergizedattheheatingairflow.
3. For units equipped with supplementary electric heat, when
the heat pump cannot meet the demand, the thermostat
“W” sends 24 volts to “W2” on the fan control board. This
signalalso is sentthrough the defrost control terminals “W”
and “W6” and back to the fan control “W1”. The 24 volt sig-
nal energizes all stages of electric heat.
4 When the heating demand is satisfied, the electric heat is
de-energized when the 24 volt “W” signal is removed, and
the M1 contactor is de-energized when the 24 volt “Y” sig-
nal is removed. When the fan switch on the thermostat is in
the“ON”position,theindoorblowercontinuestorun.When
the fan switch is in the “AUTO” position, the indoor blower
motor ramps down over a 15-second period.

Defrost Operation
The demand defrost control implements a temperature differ-
ential (”delta-T”) demand defrost algorithm. The heat pump is
allowedto operate in theheatingmodeuntilthe combination of
outdoor ambient and outdoor coil temperatures indicate that
defrostingisnecessary.Whencoiltemperatureisbelowtheini-
tiate point for the ambient temperature continuously for 4-1/2
minutes, the heat pump is put into a defrost cycle. This 4-1/2
minutetimer eliminates unnecessary defrostcycles caused by
refrigeration surges such as those that occur at the start of a
heating cycle.
Atimed inhibit feature prevents the system from responding to
a call for defrost less than 20 minutes after the initiation of the
previous defrost. After the 20 minute inhibit time has expired,
temperatureconditions must call fordefrostcontinuouslyfor4-
1/2minutesbeforeadefrostcycleisinitiated.Atemperaturein-
hibit feature prohibits defrost if the coil temperature is above
40°F.
A forced-defrost feature puts the system into a defrost period
every 6 hours and 4 minutes to recirculate lubricants, unless
the coil temperature is above 40°F. All defrost timing occurs
only while the compressor is on.
During the defrost mode, the defrost control will provide a 24
volt signal from terminal “W1/66” to the fan control terminal
“W1”.Thissignalwillenergizeelectricheatstage1,iftheunitis
so equipped.
For trouble shooting purposes, the defrost cycle can be manu-
ally initiated by shorting the “TEST” pins together for 5 sec-
onds.Defrostwillterminatenormallyduringthe“TEST”mode.
Heat Pump Safety Switch Operation
The unit is equipped with a safety package. The refrigeration
system will be protected against high or low refrigerant pres-
sure. If either of these safety switches opens, the unit will be
shutofffor the5minuteanti-shortcycle time.Oncethishas ex-
pired, a six hour elapsed run timer begins. If a second opening
of a safety switch occurs during this six hour period, the com-
pressor will be locked out.
Resetting the lockout function is accomplished by;
1. Removing power from the control's thermostat 1st stage
(Y)inputforatimenottoexceed5seconds(ON-OFF-ON).
2. Removing power from “R” for more than 2 seconds.
3. Shortingthe“TEST”pinstogetherformorethan2seconds.
Electric Heat Limit Switch Operation
Thelimit switchrespondstoover temperatureconditionsinthe
airduct.Opening of the device resultsin dropping power tothe
relays. The control logic will also respond by turning off the re-
lays. After four limit cycle trips the unit goes into a 1 hour soft
lockout period. If during this period the control “sees” another
limitcycle, the unit willgointoahardlockout condition. Once in
a hard lockout state, the fan is locked on and the heaters are
disabled. Only a power cycle will clear this state.
During the soft lockout period, the fan responds to thermostat
input but the heaters are enabled. This is to sense a failed
heater relay. The limit cycle count is reset at the start of a heat
request. If the limit remains open for period of 80 seconds or
more, the control is immediately put into a hard lockout condi-
tion. Only a power cycle will clear this state.
