have easy access to it in the future. If a problem occurs, check the
instructions and follow the recommendations given. If these suggestions don’t
eliminate your problem, call your servicing contractor.
Heat Pump Principle of Operation
WINTER HEATING
- Outdoor air enters the heat pump.
- Cold, heat-transfer section (outdoor coil) extracts heat from outdoor air as refrigerant evaporates from a liquid to a gas.
- Refrigerant, compressed to a hot gas by a heat pump, carries the heat to the hot heat transfer section (indoor coil).
- Hot, heat-transfer section (indoor coil) releases the heat to indoor air as refrigerant condenses from a gas to a liquid.
- The air handler circulates the heat throughout the home.
- The refrigerant returns to the outdoor coil and evaporates once again to absorb more heat.
SUMMER COOLING
- Indoor air enters the air handler section.
- Cold, heat-transfer section (indoor coil) extracts heat from indoor air as refrigerant evaporates from a liquid to a cold gas.
- Refrigerant, drawn to the heat pump and compressed to a hot gas by the heat pump, carries the heat outdoors.
- Hot, heat-transfer section (outdoor coil) releases the heat as the refrigerant condenses from a gas to a liquid.
- The heat pump (outdoor fan) discharges the heat to outside air.
- The refrigerant returns to the indoor coil and evaporates once again to absorb more heat.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO OPERATE YOUR HEAT PUMP FOR COOLING
- Set the thermostat system switch to COOL and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO. (See Figure 1)
- Set the thermostat temperature to the desired temperature level using the temperature selector. Please refer to the separate detailed thermostat user’s manual for complete instructions regarding thermostat programming. The outdoor unit and indoor blower will both cycle on and off to maintain the indoor temperature at the desired cooling level.
NOTE: If the thermostat temperature level is re-adjusted, or the thermostat system switch is repositioned, the outdoor unit may not start immediately. The outdoor unit contains a protective timer circuit that holds the unit off for approximately fi ve minutes following a previous operation, or the interruption of the main electrical power.
TO OPERATE YOUR HEAT PUMP FOR HEATING
- Set the thermostat system switch to HEAT and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO. (See Figure 1)
- Set the thermostat temperature to the desired temperature level using the temperature selector. Please refer to the separate detailed thermostat user’s manual for complete instructions regarding thermostat programming. The outdoor unit and indoor blower will both cycle on and off to maintain the indoor temperature at the desired heating level.
NOTE: If the thermostat temperature level is re-adjusted, or the thermostat system switch is repositioned, the outdoor unit may not start immediately. The outdoor unit contains a protective timer circuit that holds the unit off for approximately five minutes following a previous operation, or the interruption of the main electrical power.
Emergency Heat
The thermostat includes a system switch position termed EM. HT. This is a
backup heating mode to be used only if there is a suspected problem with the
outdoor unit. With the system switch set to EM. HT. The outdoor unit will be
locked off, and supplemental heat (typically electric resistance heating) will
be used as a source of heat. Sustained use of electric resistance heat in
place of the heat pump will increase electric utility costs.
Defrost
During cold weather heating operations, the outdoor unit will develop a
coating of snow and ice on the heat transfer coil. This is normal, and the
unit will periodically defrost itself. During the defrost cycle, the outdoor
fan will stop, and the compressor will continue to run and heat the outdoor
coil, causing the snow and ice to melt. After the snow and ice have melted,
some steam may rise from the outdoor unit as the warm coil causes some melted
frost to evaporate.
TO OPERATE YOUR HEAT PUMP FOR AUTOMATIC COOLING AND HEATING
-
Set the thermostat system switch to AUTO and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO. (See Figure 1)
Note: Thermostats will vary. Some models will not include the AUTO mode, others will have the AUTO in place of the HEAT and COOL, and some will include all three. -
Set the thermostat temperature to the desired heating and cooling temperature level(s). The outdoor unit and the indoor blower will then cycle on and off in either the heating or cooling mode of operation as required to automatically maintain the indoor temperature within the desired limits.
TO SHUT OFF YOUR HEAT PUMP
Set the thermostat system switch to OFF and the thermostat fan switch to AUTO. (See Figure 1) The system will not operate, regardless of the thermostat temperature selector(s) setting.
TO OPERATE THE INDOOR BLOWER CONTINUOUSLY
- Set the thermostat fan switch to ON (See Figure 1). The indoor blower will start immediately and will run continually until the fan switch is reset to AUTO.
- The continuous indoor blower operation can be obtained with the thermostat system switch set in any position, including OFF.
- The continuous indoor blower operation is typically used to circulate the indoor air to equalize a temperature unbalance due to a sun load, cooking, or fi-replace operation.
TO MAINTAIN YOUR HEAT PUMP
CAUTION
Be certain the electrical power to the outdoor unit and the furnace/air
handler is disconnected before doing the following recommended maintenance.

Functional Checkout
CAUTION
If equipped with a compressor crankcase heater, wait 24 hours before
performing a function checkout to allow for heating of the compressor
crankcase. Failure to comply may result in damage and could cause premature
failure of the system.
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
for 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 the load side of the blower relay. Connect terminal:
“2” to terminal “R” of T’stat. Connect terminal “3” to the common terminal at
the 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 the 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 many times consecutively, pause and then
repeat the process. The number of consecutive fl ashes, 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. TRIP LED
(Red): indicates there is a demand signal from the thermostat but no current
to the compressor is detected by the module. The TRIP 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 many 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
before shutting 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 the 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 been energized.
Feel the air being circulated by the indoor blower and verify that it is
warmer than the ambient temperature. Listen

for any unusual noises. If present, locate and determine the source of the noise and correct it as necessary.
OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT (if supplied)
The outdoor thermostat prevents the electrical auxiliary heat (if used) from
operating above a desired set point. The selection of the set point is
determined by the building design heat load. The thermostat is adjustable from
45°F to 0°F. The factory temperature setting is at 40°F.
Defrost Cycle Timer — The defrost cycle timer controls the time interval of the hot gas defrost after the defrost sensor closes. It is located in the lower left corner of the defrost control board. Three interval settings are available: 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes. Time setting selection is dependent on the climate where the unit is being installed.
- Example 1. Dry climate of Southern
- Arizona. A 90 minute setting is recommended.
- Example 2. Moist climate of Seattle,
- Washington. A 30 minute setting is recommended.
- To set the cycle timer, place the timing pin on the defrost control board to the desired time interval post.
Note: All units are shipped from the factory with the default time setting of 30 minutes. Maximum heating performance can be achieved by setting the time to 90 minutes.
Defrost Test Procedure
- Terminals “R”-”C” must have 18-30v present between them in order for time delay and defrost sequences to be initiated.
- With compressor running in heat mode, fi rst jump the “T2”-”DFT” test pins. This will indicate to board that defrost T-stat is closed. Defrost T-stat closes at 32°, opens at 68°.
- Next jump the “Test” pin to “C” on terminal strip. This will initiate defrost test in 5, 10 or 15 seconds (This is determined by 30, 60 or 90 minutes defrost pin settings). Factory setting will be 30 minutes.
- 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 :
- Board recognizes that defrost sensor has reached 68° and opened or
- “T2”-”DFT” jumper is removed or
- 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.
Note: If jumper is left on the “Test” to “common”
pins permanently, the defrost cycle will become
inoperable.
Optional Equipment — A functional checkout
should be performed in accordance with
the checkout procedures supplied with the
equipment.
