SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

Cooling – Circuit R-Y makes the thermostat pull in the
compressor contactor starting the compressor and
outdoor motor. The G (indoor motor) circuit is
automatically completed on any call for cooling
operation, or can be energized by manual fan switch on
subbase for constant air circulation.
Heating – A 24V solenoid coil on reversing valve
controls heating cycle operation. Two thermostat
options, one allowing "Auto" change over from cycle to
cycle and the other constantly energizing solenoid coil
during heating season and thus eliminating pressure
equalization noise except during defrost, are to be used
on "Auto" option, a circuit is completed for R-W1 and
R-Y on each heating "on" cycle, energizing reversing
valve solenoid and pulling in compressor contactor
starting compressor and outdoor motor. R-G also
makes starting indoor blower motor. Heat pump
heating cycle now in operation.
The second option has no "Auto" change over position,
but instead energizes the reversing valve solenoid
constantly whenever the system switch on subbase is
placed in "Heat" position, the "B" terminal being
constantly energized from R. A thermostat demand for
heat completes R-Y circuit, pulling in compressor
contactor starting compressor and outdoor motor. R-G
also make starting indoor blower motor.
Reheat Circuit There is a small capillary tube inserted
between the reheat coil return line and suction line that
will prevent liquid from accumulating in the reheat coil
when it is inactive. This drain does not affect the
normal operation of the system.
There is a check valve located in the reheat coil return
line. It has a soft spring to hold the ball on the seat.
This will make the method of checking the ball freedom
with a magnet difficult. Refer to Figures 18 and 19 for
the location of the check valve and drain back capillary.
When the system is operating in the dehumidification
mode the suction pressure will be reduced by 4 to 8 psig
and the discharge pressure will be reduced by 19 to 22
psig.
Freeze Thermostat If the freeze thermostat senses a
32° evaporator temperature the compressor will be shut
off. The blower will continue to run until the coil is
defrosted and then the compressor will start again.
Return Air Thermostat In dehumidification mode if
the return air temperature is lower than 65°, the return
air thermostat closes and brings on stage one electric
heat to maintain 65°.
High / Low Pressure control provides protection for
the compressor. In the advent system pressures go
above 350 PSI or below 15 PSI in either cooling or
heating mode the compressor will be stopped. This will
activate the right hand red light marked "System
Service" on the front of the unit. The lockout circuit
will hold compressor off line. When the system
problem is corrected, the unit operation can be restored
by turning of the main power supply off and then back
on, or reset the room thermostat. The low pressure
control has a bypass to eliminate nuisance lockout on
cold start up.
OPTIONAL CLIMATE CONTROLS
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The Climate Control Option E is an electronic,
programmable thermostat and a humidistat. This unit
has a refrigerant reheat circuit that is controlled by a 3
way valve.
When the humidity is above the setpoint of the
humidistat, the compressor circuit and the 3 way valve
are energized and the evaporator air flow is reduced.
The 3 way valve directs hot discharge gas into a
separate desuperheating condenser circuit that reheats
the conditioned air before it is delivered to the room.
When the humidistat is satisfied, the system switches
back to normal air conditioning mode.
If the thermostat calls for cooling during
dehumidification mode, the call for cooling takes
precedence over the dehumidification and the unit will
cool until the thermostat is satisfied. Once the call for
cooling is satisfied, the unit may continue to
dehumidify.
If the thermostat calls for heat when the unit is in the
dehumidification mode, the electric heaters will
energize and the evaporator air flow will return to the
heating air flow. When the thermostat is satisfied, the
electric heaters will turn off and the air flow will be
reduced and the system will continue to dehumidify
until humidistat is satisfied.
If the unit is running in heat pump mode and the
humidistat calls for dehumidification, the heat pump
mode takes precedence over dehumidification. The unit
will not return to the dehumidification mode until the
heating thermostat is satisfied.
The Climate Control Option F has a non-programmable
electronic thermostat, timer, and humidistat. This unit
has a refrigerant reheat circuit that is controlled by a
3 way valve.
Unit operation is controlled by the manually operated
timer. Normal heating, cooling or ventilation is
available only when the timer is on. Dehumidification
can be set to be available only when the timer is on, or
to be available continuously by switching a toggle
switch.
