Options
The HC080 Series Air Conditioners may be ordered with the following options. Review the list below
for the specifications and functions of the option(s) that apply to your unit.
Built-in Heater
This unit is configurable to include a Built-in Heater to increase the temperature of your enclosure in
lower temperature conditions. The digital controller is programmed with an individual heater set point
to maintain your enclosure at your desired operating temperature.
Heater capacities are available in 500 Watt, 1000 Watt and 1500 Watt.
Default Settings:
55°F Heat Set Point
3°F Differential
At the default settings the heater turns on at 52°F and operates until temperature has reached 55°F.
Refer to Digital Temperature Controller Programming section for details on changing these
parameters.
Low Ambient
This option consists of circuitry to protect the compressor in a low ambient temperature environment.
The low ambient package is designed to provide an optimum constant low current in the compressor
motor during the non cooling state. This option provides internal heat to the compressor to protect it
from stalls and hard starts during long periods of compressor off state.
Dry Contact
This option provides an early warning capability to your enclosure to aid in the protection of your
expensive equipment. The Dry Contact is programmed with an individual dry contact set point to
monitor the enclosure temperature limit that you require. When the enclosure temperature has
exceeded the maximum limit, the Form C gold plated contact will activate to notify you that there is a
problem in achieving your cooling set point.
Default Settings:
105°F Dry Contact High Temperature Alarm Set Point
2°F Recovery Differential
3min Temperature Alarm Delay
At the default settings the Dry Contact initial conditions are normally open and/or normally closed.
When the unit is powered on and the temperature exceeds 105°F for a period longer than 3 minutes
the Dry Contact will activate. At this time the normally open contact will close and the normally closed
contact will open. This state will remain until the temperature has decreased to 103°F.
Note:
The dry contact is not a power status indicator, rather a high temperature alarm alerting you that
the unit is unable to meet the cooling set point.
