Circuit R–O energizes reversing valve, switching it tocooling position. Circuit R–Y energizes contactor, starting outdoorfan motor and compressor circuit. R–G energizes indoor unitblower relay, starting indoor blower motor on high speed.When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open, de–energizingcontactor and blower relay. Compressor and motors should stop.NOTE: If indoor unit is equipped with a time–delay relay circuit,the indoor blower will run an additional 90 seconds to increasesystem efficiency.428 01 5107 03On a call for heating, thermostat makes circuits R–Y and R–G.Circuit R–Y energizes contactor, starting outdoor fan motor andcompressor. Circuit R–G energizes indoor blower relay, startingblower motor on high speed.Should temperature continue to fall, R–W2 is made throughsecond–stage room thermostat. Circuit R–W2 energizes a relay,bringing on first bank of supplemental electric heat and providingelectrical potential to second heater relay (if used). If outdoortemperature falls below setting of outdoor thermostat (fieldinstalled option), contacts close to complete circuit and bring onsecond bank of supplemental electric heat.When thermostat is satisfied, its contacts open, de–energizingcontactor and relay. All heaters and motors should stop.DefrostThe defrost control is a time/temperature control which includes afield selectable (quick–connects located at board edge) time periodbetween defrost cycles (30, 60, or 90 minutes), factory set to either60 or 90 minutes.The electronic defrost timer sequence is enabled when the T1 inputon the board is energized. The timer starts only when the defrostthermostat is closed and the contactor is energized.Defrost mode is identical to cooling mode except that outdoor fanmotor stops and second–stage heat is turned on to continuewarming conditioned spaces.To initiate defrost, the defrost thermostat must be closed. This canbe accomplished as follows:1. Turn off power to outdoor unit.2. Disconnect outdoor fan motor lead from OF2 on controlboard (see Fig. 12). Tape lead to prevent grounding.3. Restart unit in heating mode, allowing frost to accumulateon outdoor coil.4. After a few minutes in heating mode, liquid line temperature should drop below closing point of defrost thermostat(approximately 30 F/–1.11 C).5. Short between speedup terminals with a flat–blade screwdriver. This reduces the timing sequence to 1/25th of original time. (See Table 4.)6. When you hear reversing valve change position, removescrewdriver immediately; otherwise, control will terminatenormal 10–minute defrost cycle in approximately 2seconds.NOTE: Length of defrost cycle is dependent upon length of timeit takes to remove screwdriver from test pins after reversing valvehas shifted.7. Unit will remain in defrost for remainder of defrost cycletime or until defrost thermostat reopens at approximately65 F (18.33 C) coil temperature of liquid line.8. Turn off power to outdoor unit and reconnect fan motorlead to OF2 on control board.Specifications subject to change without notice.7

Additional subcooling may be required to achieveoptimal heating performance based on the installed indoor unit.(see Table 5 or 6).Charging method is shown on information plate inside unit. ForTXV, use subcooling method. For piston, use superheat method.To properly check or adjust charge, conditions must be favorablefor subcooling or superheat charging. Favorable conditions existwhen the outdoor temperature is between 70 F and 100 F(21.11 C and 37.78 C), and the indoor temperature is between70 F and 80 F (21.11 C and 26.67 C). Follow the procedurebelow:Unit is factory charged for 15ft (4.57 m) of lineset. Adjust chargeby adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft (.018 kg/m) of 3/8 liquid lineabove or below 15ft (4.57 m) respectively.For standard refrigerant line lengths (80 ft/24.38 m or less), allowsystem to operate in cooling mode at least 15 minutes. If conditionsare favorable, check system charge by super heat method for fixedmetering device and subcooling method for TXV. If anyadjustment is necessary, adjust charge slowly and allow system tooperate for 15 minutes to stabilize before declaring a properlycharged system. Refer to Table 5 or 6 for additional subcoolingrequired.If the indoor temperature is above 80 F (26.67 C), and theoutdoor temperature is in the favorable range, adjust system chargeby weight based on line length and allow the indoor temperature todrop to 80 F (26.67 C) before attempting to check system chargeby subcooling method as described above.8If the indoor temperature is below 70 F (21.11 C), or the outdoortemperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line setlength above or below 15ft (4.57 m) only. Charge level should thenbe appropriate for the system to achieve rated capacity. The chargelevel could then be checked at another time when the both indoorand outdoor temperatures are in a more favorable range.NOTE: If line length is beyond 80 ft (24.38 m) or greater than 20ft (6.10 m) vertical separation, See Residential Piping and LongLine Guideline for special charging requirements.Units with Cooling Mode TXVUnits i
