COMPONENTS AND CONTROLS
Demand Defrost Control (cont�)
opens at approximately 610 psig and closes
at approximately 420 psig� The compressor
and fan motor will stop when the high pressure
control opens and will start again if the high side
pressure drops to approximately 420 psig where
the automatic reset high pressure control resets�
If the high pressure control opens 3 times within
a particular call for heating or cooling operation,
the defrost control will lock out compressor and
outdoor fan operation�
Low Pressure Control – Provides active
protection in both heating and cooling modes at all
outdoor ambient temperatures� The low pressure
control is an automatic reset type and opens at
approximately 15 psig and closes at approximately
40 psig� Operation is slightly different between
cooling and heating modes�
Cooling Mode: The compressor and fan motor
will stop when the low pressure control opens and
will start again when the low side pressure rises
to approximately 40 psig when the low pressure
control automatically resets� If the low pressure
switch opens 3 times within a particular call for
cooling operation, the defrost control will lock out
compressor and fan operation�

Heating Mode: The compressor and fan motor
will stop when the low pressure control opens and
will start again when the low side pressure rises
to approximately 40 psig when the low pressure
automatically resets� If the low pressure switch
trips 3 times within 120 minutes of operation
during a particular call for heating operation,
the defrost control will lock out compressor
and outdoor fan operation� If the lock out due
to low pressure occurs at an outdoor ambient
temperature below 5°F, the defrost control will
automatically exit the lockout mode when the
outdoor ambient temperature rises 5°F� This
feature is necessary since the low pressure control
could possibly have opened due to the outdoor
ambient being very low rather than an actual
system fault�
Exiting Lock-Out Mode: To exit the lock-out
mode, remove 24 volts to the defrost control by
removing power to the indoor air handler/furnace
or by shoting the two defrost control test pins
together�
