- Do the condenser fan and indoor blower turn free without rubbing and are they tight on the shafts?
- Has all work been done in accordance with applicable local and national codes?
- Are all covers and access panels in place to prevent air loss and safety hazards?
Starting the Unit in Cooling Mode
- Note: See the section on Sequence of Operation for a description of the cooling operating sequence.
- To start the unit in the cooling mode, set the comfort control to COOL and to a setting below room temperature. The condenser fan motor, compressor and evaporator fan motor will operate automatically.
- Continuous fan mode during Cooling operation may not be appropriate in humid climates. If the indoor air exceeds 60% relative humidity or simply feels uncomfortably humid, it is recommended that the fan only be used in the AUTO mode.
Operating Pressure Checks
- After the unit has operated in the cooling mode for a short period of time, install pressure gauges on the gauge ports of the discharge and suction line valves (behind the Compressor access panel). Check the suction and discharge pressures and compare them to the normal operating pressures provided in the unit’s SERVICE FACTS.
- Note: Do not use the PRESSURE CURVES from the unit’s SERVICE FACTS to determine the unit refrigerant charge. The correct charge is shown on the unit nameplate. To charge the system accurately, weigh in the charge according to the unit nameplate and check subcooling against the Subcooling Charging Table in the SERVICE FACTS.
Voltage Check
- With the compressor operating, check the line voltage at the unit (contactor is located behind the Control access panel). The voltage should be within the range shown on the unit nameplate. If low voltage is encountered, check the size and length of the supply line from the main disconnect to the unit. The line may be undersized for the length of the run.
Cooling Shut Down
- Set the comfort control to OFF or to a setting aboveroom temperature.
- Important: De-energize the main power disconnect
- ONLY when servicing the unit. Power may be required to keep the heat pump compressor warm and to boil off refrigerant in the compressor. Starting the Unit in Heating Mode
- Note: See the section on Sequence of Operation for a description of the heat pump heating operating sequence.
- Check that all grills and registers are open and all unit access panels are closed before start-up.
- Set the comfort control above room temperature until achieving a first stage call for heat and set the fan to AUTO or ON.
- Heating Shut Down Set the comfort control to OFF or at a setting below room temperature.
Sequence of Operation
General
- Operation of the unit heating and cooling cycles is automatic when the system is in the HEAT or COOL functions (the optional automatic changeover thermostat, when in the AUTO position, automatically changes to heat or cool with an appropriate room temperature change). The fan can be set to ON, causing continuous evaporator (indoor) fan operation or set to AUTO causing fan operation to coincide with heating or cooling run cycles. Continuous fan mode during Cooling operation may not be appropriate in humid climates. If the indoor air exceeds 60% relative humidity or simply feels uncomfortably humid, it is recommended that the fan only be used in the AUTO mode.
Cooling Mode
- Note : The TSH and TSC are contacts that are internalto the indoor comfort control.
- With the disconnect switch in the ON position, current is supplied to the control transformer. The cooling cycle is enabled through the low voltage side of the control transformer to the “R” terminal on the indoor thermostat. With the comfort control set to AUTO and
- TSC-1 contacts closed, power is supplied to the “O ” terminal on the indoor thermostat to the switchover valve coil (SOV). This energizes the switch-over valve (SOV) and places it in the cooling position (it is in the heating position when de-energized).
- When the indoor temperature rises 1-1/2 degrees, TSC- 2 contacts close, supplying power to the “Y” terminal on the indoor thermostat, and to the compressor contactor (CC). This starts the outdoor fan motor and compressor. The TSC-2 contacts also provide power to the “G” terminal which provides power to the indoor fan motor.
Heating Mode
- With the comfort control set to ON, current is supplied to the transformer. Starting at the “R” terminal on the indoor comfort control, current goes through the system switch (which is in “AUTO” position) to the
- TSH-1 contacts. When closed, these contacts supply power to terminal “Y” on the indoor thermostat as well as to the heating anticipator. The switch-over valve will not energize because of the high resistance of the heating anticipator in the thermostat. Power is provided from “Y” to the compressor contactor (CC) which starts the compressor and outdoor fan motor.
- The indoor thermostat contact TSH-1 also provides power to “G” terminal on the indoor thermostat energizing the indoor fan motor.
Supplementary Heat
- The supplementary electric heat is brought on when the indoor temperature drops 1-1/2 degrees below the thermostat setting. TSH-2 contacts close providing
power to the “W” terminal on the indoor thermostat and to the supplementary heater control circuit. An outdoor thermostat may have been added to disallow the second stage (if provided) of electric heat above a selected outdoor temperature. If the outdoor temperature falls below the setting on the outdoor thermostat, this additional heater stage will come on.
-
When the outdoor air temperature rises, and the outdoor T-stat setpoint is reached, the system will revert back to first stage electric heating.
-
When the indoor ambient is satisfied, TSH-2 contacts will open and the unit will revert back to the compressor only heating mode and then off. For emergency heat (use of supplementary electric heat only), an emergency (EMERG) heat switch is provided within the comfort control. When placed in the emergency heat position, it will disable the compressor, bypass the outdoor thermostats, if provided, and engage the supplementary electric heaters and indoor fan.
Demand Defrost Operation
- During the heating cycle, the outdoor coil may require a defrost cycle which is determined by the demand defrost control (DFC). This control continuously measures the outdoor coil temperature (CBS) and the outdoor ambient temperature (ODS-B) and calculates the difference or delta-T measurement. When the calculated delta-T is met, the demand defrost control (DFC) opens the circuit to the outdoor fan motor (ODM) and energizes the switch-over valve (SOV), placing the unit in the cooling mode to defrost the outdoor coil. The outdoor coil temperature sensor (CBS) terminates the defrost cycle, or times out after fifteen minutes in defrost, the (DFC) energizes the outdoor fan motor (ODM) and twelve seconds later deenergizes the (SOV), which returns the unit to the heating mode. Supplementary electric heat, if provided, is brought on to control indoor temperature during the defrost cycle.
Defrost Control
-
The demand defrost control measures heat pump outdoor ambient temperature with a sensor located outside the outdoor coil. A second sensor located on the outdoor coil is used to measure the coil temperature. The difference between the ambient and the colder coil temperature is the difference or delta-T measurement. This delta-T measurement is representative of the operating state and relative capacity of the heat pump system. Measuring the change in delta-T determines the need for defrost. The coil sensor also senses outdoor coil temperature for termination of the defrost cycle.
-
Note: Refer to the SERVICE FACTS for fault detecting, test sensor and checkout procedures.

Maintenance
Owner Maintenance
- Some of the periodic maintenance functions of the unit can be performed by the owner; this includes replacing the disposable or cleaning the permanent air filters, cleaning the unit cabinet, cleaning the condenser coil, and conducting a general unit inspection on a regular basis.
Filters
- When the system is in constant operation, inspect the filters at least once each month.
- If the unit has disposable-type filters, replace them with new filters of the same type and size. Do not attempt to clean disposable filters.
- Permanent-type filters can be cleaned by washing them with a mild detergent and water. Make sure that the filters are thoroughly dry before reinstalling them in the unit (or duct system).
- Note: It may be necessary to replace permanent filters annually if washing fails to clean the filter or if the filter shows signs of deterioration. Be sure to use the same type and size as was originally installed.
Condenser Coil
- Be sure to keep all vegetation and debris away from the condenser coil area.
Service Maintenance
Cooling Season
- To keep the unit operating safely and efficiently, the manufacturer recommends that a qualified service technician check the entire system at least once each year or sooner if needed. The service technician should examine these areas of the unit:
- filters (for cleaning or replacement)
- motors and drive system components
- economizer gaskets (for possible replacement)
- safety controls (for mechanical cleaning)
- electrical components and wiring (for possible replacement and connection tightness)
- condensate drain (for proper sealing and cleaning)
- unit duct connections (to see that they are physically sound and sealed to the unit casing)
- unit mounting support (for structural integrity)
- the unit (for obvious unit deterioration)
Heating Season
- Complete the following unit inspections and service routines at the beginning of each heating season.
- Visually inspect the unit to ensure that the airflow required for combustion and condenser coil is not obstructed from the unit.
- Inspect the control panel wiring to verify that all electrical connections are tight and that the wire insulation is intact.
