Heat Pump Principle of Operation

WINTER HEATING:

1. Outdoor air enters the heat pump.

2. Cold, heat-transfer section (outdoor coil) extracts heat from
   outdoor air as refrigerant evaporates from a liquid to a gas.

3. Refrigerant, compressed to a hot gas by the heat pump, carries
   the heat to the hot heat-transfer section (indoor coil).

4. Hot, heat-transfer section (indoor coil) releases the heat to
   indoor air as refrigerant condenses from a gas to a liquid.

5. Air handler circulates the heat throughout the home.

6. Refrigerant returns to the outdoor coil and evaporates once
   again to absorb more heat.

SUMMER COOLING:

1. Indoor air enters the air handler section.

2. Cold, heat-transfer section (indoor coil) extracts heat from
   indoor air as refrigerant evaporates from a liquid to a cold
   gas.

3. Refrigerant, drawn to the heat pump and compressed to a hot gas
   by the heat pump, carries the heat outdoors.

4. Hot, heat-transfer section (outdoor coil) releases the heat as
   refrigerant condenses from a gas to a liquid.

5. Heat pump (outdoor fan) discharges the heat to outside
   air.

6. Refrigerant returns to the indoor coil and evaporates once
   again to absorb more heat.

Indoor Blower — Set the thermostat function switch to COOLING and the fan switch to ON. Verify that the indoor blower is operating and that airflow is not restricted. Set the fan switch back to AUTO.
Blower Time Delay Relay (Select Models): A time delay relay may be provided with the unit and must be installed in the indoor section. The relay will keep the indoor blower running an additional 40 seconds for increased cooling efficiency after the outdoor unit shuts off. The relay has four terminals and one mounting hole. Connect terminal “1” to load side of blower relay. Connect terminal: “2” to terminal “R” of T’stat. Connect terminal “3” to common terminal at blower relay or transformer. Connect terminal “4” to terminal “G” on T’stat.
Low-Pressure Switch (Select Models) — A low-pressure switch is factory- installed in select models only. If provided, this switch is located in the suction line internal to the outdoor unit. The switch is designed to protect the compressor from a loss of charge. Under normal conditions, the switch is closed. If the suction pressure falls below 5 psig, then the switch will open and deenergize the outdoor unit. The switch will close again once the suction pressure increases above 20 psig. Please note that the switch interrupts the thermostat inputs to the unit.Thus, when the switch opens and then closes, there will be a 5 minute short cycling delay before the outdoor unit will energize.
High-Pressure Switch — A high-pressure switch is factory-installed and located in the compressor discharge line internal to the outdoor unit. The switch is designed to de-energize the system when very high pressures occur during abnormal conditions. Under normal conditions, the switch is closed. If the discharge pressure

rises above 575 psig, then the switch will open and de-energize the outdoor unit. The switch will close again once the discharge pressure decreases to 460 psig.Please note that the switch interrupts the thermostat inputs to the unit.Thus, when the switch opens and then closes, there will be a 5 minute short cycling delay before the outdoor unit will energize.
Short Cycle Protection — With the system operating in COOLING mode, note the setpoint temperature setting of the thermostat, and gradually raise the setpoint temperature until the outdoor unit and indoor blower de-energize. Immediately lower the setpoint temperature of the thermostat to its original setting and verify that the indoor blower is energized and that the outdoor unit remains de-energized. Verify that, after approximately 5 minutes, the outdoor unit energizes and that the temperature of the air supplied to the facility is cooler than ambient temperature.
Comfort AlertTM Diagnostics (Select Models) — The Comfort AlertTM diagnostics module facilitates troubleshooting heat pump and air conditioning system failures. This Comfort AlertTM module is designed only for single-phase systems with scroll compressors that have internal overload protection. By monitoring and analyzing data from the compressor and the thermostat demand, the module can detect the cause of electrical and system related failures without any sensors. A flashing LED indicator communicates the ALERT code and guides the service technician more quickly and accurately to the root cause of a problem.
NOTE: This module does not provide safety protection! The Comfort AlertTM module is a monitoring device and cannot control or shut down other devices.
LED Description (See Figure 2) POWER LED (Green):indicates voltage is present at the power connection of the module.
ALERT LED (Yellow): communicates an abnormal system condition through a unique flash code. The ALERT LED will flash a number of times consecutively, pause and then repeat the process. The number of consecutive flashes, defined as the Flash Code, correlates to a particular abnormal condition. Detailed descriptions of specific ALERT Flash Codes are shown in Table 1 of this manual.

10

TRIP LED (Red): indicates there is a demand signal from the thermostat but no current to the compressor is detected by the module.TheTRIP LED typically indicates the compressor protector is open or may indicate missing supply power to the compressor.
The scroll compressor’s run (R), common (C) and start (S) wires are routed through the holes in the Comfort AlertTM module marked “R,” “C” and “S.”
24 VAC Power Wiring — The Comfort AlertTM module requires a constant nominal 24 VAC power supply. The wiring to the module’s R and C terminals must be directly from the indoor unit or thermostat.
The Comfort AlertTM module requires a thermostat demand signal to operate properly.
NOTE: After the thermostat demand signal is connected, verify that 24 VAC across Y and C when demand is present.
TROUBLESHOOTING Interpreting The Diagnostic LEDs ­ When an abnormal system condition occurs, the Comfort AlertTM module displays the appropriate ALERT and/or TRIP LED will flash a number of

times consecutively, pause and then repeat the process. To identify a Flash Code number, count the number of consecutive flashes.
Every time the module powers up, the last ALERT Flash Code that occurred prior to shut down is displayed for one minute. The module will continue to display the LED until the condition returns to normal or if 24 VAC power is removed from the module.
Cooling — Gradually lower the thermostat temperature setpoint below the actual room temperature and observe that the outdoor unit and indoor blower energize. Feel the air being circulated by the indoor blower and verify that it is cooler than ambient temperature. Listen for any unusual noises. If present, locate and determine the source of the noise and correct as necessary.
Heating — Lower the thermostat setpoint temperature to the lowest obtainable setting and set the thermostat function switch to HEATING. The indoor blower and outdoor unit should stop running.After a minimum of five minutes, increase the setpoint temperature of the thermostat to the maximum setting.Verify that the outdoor unit and indoor blower have energized. Feel the air being circulated by the indoor blower and verify that it is warmer than ambient temperature. Listen

strip. This will initiate defrost test in 5, 10 or equipment.

15 seconds (This is determined by 30, 60

or 90 minutes defrost pin settings). Factory setting will be 30 minutes.

Adjustment of Refrigerant Charge:

4. When the reversing valve shifts to the defrost mode, quickly remove jumper from “Test”-“C”. If the jumper is not removed within a 5 second period, the defrost test will terminate. Unit will continue to stay in defrost mode Until : A) Board recognizes that defrost sensor has reached 68° and opened or B) “T2”-“DFT” jumper is removed or C) 10 minutes have elapsed (board override)
If the above steps will not initiate a defrost, replace the defrost board.
Anti Short Cycle Timer Test
The 5 minute time delay feature can be bypassed or shortened to 1 second by jumping the “Test” to “C” terminal.
