SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Cooling Mode
Set the thermostat to the desired temperature then set the
mode switch to high or low cool. The fan motor will start first
then the compressor will start approximately 10 seconds later.
When the room temperature has reached the desired tempera-
ture the compressor will shut off and the fan will continue to run
for 30 seconds then shut off. If the fan cycle switch has been
set to "ON" or the electronic board has been programmed for
"ON" the fan will continue to run.
Heating Mode
Set the thermostat to the desired temperature then set the
mode switch to high or low heat. The fan motor will start, the
reversing valve will engage and then the compressor or electric
heat strip will start. If the unit is a heat pump the temperature
of the room and the set point of the thermostat will determine if
the unit brings on the compressor or electric heat. The room
temperature will need to be within 4 degree's of the thermostat
set point on "C-K" models and 2 1/2 degree's on "A-B" models
for the compressor to come on in the heat pump mode. Any
time the temperature of the room is more then 4 degree's or 2
1/2 degree's colder than the set point the electric heat will be
energized. The outdoor coil thermostat or thermistor will lock
out the compressor when the outdoor coil reaches a certain
temperature. Clamp on bi-metal thermostat disc's may be on
"A-B" model units. The bi-metal thermostats will open when
the coil temperature reaches 25º ± 5º and closes at 50º. The
plug in thermistors on the "C-K" models will lock the compres-
sor out at 24º outdoor temperature and allow heat pump opera-
tion to come back on at 33º.
CONTROL BOARD CHARACTERISTICS
• Automatic 3-minute Compressor Lockout - After the
compressor cycles off, it will not restart for three minutes.
This feature is enabled in standard or remote thermostat
control.
NOTE: This delay may be defeated by shorting the “FD1” and
“FD2” terminals together for a minimum of 5 seconds
• Compressor lock-in feature- Whenever the compressor
is switched from off to on because the room temperature
has risen above or fallen below the specified limit it will
remain on for at least four minutes. However , if the ther-
mostat point is changed during the four minutes this lock
in feature is overridden.
• Automatic 2nd Stage Electric Heat (Heat Pump Mod-
els)- If the room temperature falls to 4°F below the set
point temperature, the reverse cycle heat pump is shut off
and the strip heat is turned on.
• Automatic Freeze Protection - Whenever power is sup-
plied to the unit and the master switch is in the ON posi-
tion, automatic freeze protection is active. If the thermistor
senses temperature below 40°F+/-5°F, the fan motor and
electric strip heat (or hydronic heat, if applicable) are
switched on. The heater and fan will remain on until the
Thermistor senses a temperature of 43°F.
• Fan Advance/ Delay- The advance feature will allow the
fan to start six seconds prior to the compressor starting in
either cooling or heating mode. The delay will keep the fan
running for thirty seconds after the compressor stops in
either cooling or heating modes.
• Remote Thermostats - Always use an approved thermo-
stat supplied by the manufacturer. A wall thermostat that
has not been approved by the manufacturer may not work
correctly with this unit.
• Remote Functions - All functions are controlled by a wall
mounted thermostat.
• Remote Fan- When GL terminal is connected to R termi-
nal the remote fan speed is switched to low. GH terminal
connected to the R terminal fan speed is switched to high.
• Fuse Protection- The fuse protection has been maximized
on the 24 volt circuit so accidental groundings of the exter-
nal terminals will not result in a burned out board. The unit
may be operated in standard mode if the fuse is blown.
There will be an auxiliary fuse supplied with the board. It
will be attached to the main fuse by a plastic clip. The fuse
is a 500 ma fuse. When replacing the fuse always use the
correct fuse part #M0804205.
• Random Delay - When the master switch is turned on or
power is reapplied to the control, all functionality will be
locked out for a random period between two and four min-
utes, if Y or W inputs are active in remote or the mode
switch is set to HI/LO heat or cool. The delay can be avoided
if the front desk terminals are closed for more than two
seconds, or the mode switch is in the off or fan only posi-
tion.
• Transformer Selection- Some boards come with the
transformer selection set for on-board use, if an external
transformer is utilized move the jumper from "ON-BOARD
to EXTERNAL". If applicable, the wiring for an external trans-
former connects to the "EXT XFRMR" terminals.
• Indoor Ambient Thermistor- The Indoor Ambient Ther-
mistor senses actual room temperature.
• Indoor/Outdoor Coil Thermistors- In the cooling mode,
if the compressor is engaged continuously for 20 minutes
and the Indoor Coil Thermistor is below 30 degrees the
compressor is disengaged until the ICT rises above 45
degrees. The Outdoor Coil Thermistor senses coil tem-
perature which correlates to outdoor air temperature. Heat
pump operation can operate as low as 24°F outdoor tem-
perature depending upon humidity conditions and/or the
balance point of the system. After defrost is initiated, the
compressor remains off for at least thirty minutes and re-
sumes operation when the outdoor coil temperature
reaches 33°F. Electric resistance heat will maintain the
ambient room temperature anytime the temperature falls
4°F below the room set point temperature.
• Load Shedding-The LS & IN terminals are used for load
shedding. A switch can be added to close the circuit to
lock out the compressor and electric heat when the power
company or energy management system is trying to re-
duce its load for a specified time.
