DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD
EQUIPMENT

LOW PRESSURE SWITCH

NOTE:  This unit is supplied with two low pressure

switches installed, a 15 PSIG and a 27 PSIG.

The 27 PSIG is wired into the system.  This switch is
suitable for ground water (pump and dump), and water
loop (boiler/tower applications).

To avoid nuisance lockouts for ground loop application
with antifreeze, the 27 PSIG switch should be
disconnected and connect the 15 PSIG switch.

The leads for both switches are located in the lower
electrical connection panel.  The switch bodies are
marked with pressure settings.  The 27 PSIG switch has
yellow leads.  The 15 PSIG switch has blue leads.

HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH

This unit is equipped with a high pressure switch that
will stop the compressor in the event of abnormal high
pressure occurrences.

The high and low pressure switches are included in a
lockout circuit that is resettable from the room
thermostat.

COMPRESSOR CONTROL MODULE

The compressor control module is optional on the
models covered by this manual.  The compressor control
is an anti-short cycle/lockout timer with high and low
pressure switch monitoring and alarm relay output.

ADJUSTABLE DELAY ON MAKE AND BREAK
TIMER

On initial power up or any time power is interrupted to
the unit the 

delay on make

 period begins which will be 2

minutes plus 10% of the 

delay on break

 setting.  When

the delay on make is complete and the high pressure
switch (and low pressure switch, if employed) is closed,
the compressor contactor is energized.  Upon shutdown
the delay on break timer  starts and prevents restart until
the delay on break and delay on make periods have
expired.

During routine operation of the unit with no power
interruptions the compressor will operate on demand
with no delay.

HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH AND LOCKOUT
SEQUENCE

If the high pressure switch opens, the compressor
contactor will de-energize immediately.  The lockout
timer will go into a 

soft lockout

 and stay in soft lockout

until the high pressure switch closes 

and

 the delay on

break time has expired.  If the high pressure switch
opens again in the same operating cycle the unit will go
into 

manual lockout

 condition and the alarm relay

circuit will energize.  Recycling the wall thermostat
resets the manual lockout.

LOW PRESSURE SWITCH, BYPASS AND
LOCKOUT SEQUENCE

If the low pressure switch opens for more than 120
seconds, the compressor contactor will de-energize and
go into a soft lockout.  Regardless the state of the low
pressure switch, the contactor will reenergize after the
delay on make time delay has expired.  If the low
pressure switch remains open, or opens again for longer
than 120 seconds, the unit will go into manual lockout
condition and the alarm relay circuit will energize.
Recycling the wall thermostat resets the manual lockout.

ALARM RELAY OUTPUT

Alarm terminal is output connection for applications
where alarm relay is employed.  This terminal is
powered whenever compressor is locked out due to HPC
or LPC sequences as described.

Note:

Both high and low pressure switch controls
are inherently automatic reset devices.  The
high pressure switch and low pressure switch
cut out and cut in settings are fixed by specific
air conditioner or heat pump unit model.  The
lockout feature, both soft and manual, are a
function of the Compressor Control Module.

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTABLE DELAY ON MAKE AND DELAY
ON BREAK TIMER

The potentiometer is used to select delay on break time
from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.  Delay on Make (DOM)
timing on power up and after power interruptions is
equal to 2 minutes plus 10% of Delay on Break (DOB)
setting.  See Delay on Make Timing chart on page 25.

During routine operation of the unit with no power
interruptions the compressor will operate on demand
with no delay.
