SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
GENERAL
Operation of the system cooling and heating cycles is controlled by
the position of the system switch on the room thermostat. Once the
system switch is placed in either the HEAT OR COOL position, unit
operation is automatic. The optional automatic changeover thermo-
stat, when in the AUTO position, automatically changes to heat or
cool with sufficient room temperature change. Continuous fan
mode during cooling operation may not be appropriate in humid
climates. If the indoor air exceeds 60% relative humidity or simply
feels uncomfortably humid, it is recommended that the fan only be
used in the AUTO mode.
With the unit disconnect closed, voltage is supplied to the unit
control transformer and the crankcase heater (if provided).
COOLING — MECHANICAL COMPRESSOR CYCLE
On a call for mechanical cooling, the indoor fan “G” and the
compressor circuit “Y1” are energized. The indoor fan circuit “G”
starts with power from the control transformer and then energizes
the fan relay coil (F)
and motor speed tap terminal
. This closes the fan relay (F) contacts and the indoor fan motor (IDM)
starts.
The compressor circuit starts with power from the control trans-
former through the thermostat switch “Y1” to the compressor
contactor (CC) coil. This closes the (CC) contacts and starts the
compressor (CPR) and the outdoor fan motor (ODM). When the call
for cooling is complete, the compressor contactor (CC), outdoor fan
motor (ODM), and indoor fan relay (F) is de-energized.
HEATING — ELECTRIC HEATERS
On a call for heat, power from the thermostat is received at “W1”,
which energizes the contactor coils. The contactor closes powering
the heater, provided all element limits are closed.
NOTE:
The indoor thermostat must be configured to provide a “G”
signal to energize the indoor fan relay (F) during the heating mode.
The heater control circuit will not be energized unless the indoor fan
relay (F) is energized.
