During the Defrost cycle, output EHEAT is also energized
(if not already energized by a thermostat W2 demand);
supplemental heater will be energized. During the Defrost
Cycle, LED1 on the DFB will be illuminated. The Defrost
cycle ends when DFT opens (as liquid temperature exiting
the coil rises above DFT setpoint) or the defrost cycle runs
for 10 minutes. Output at EHEAT is removed;

outdoor fans start again. Output P3–7 (RVS1) is removed;
reversing valve returns to Heating position.
Defrost cycle is fixed at a maximum 10 minute duration
limit. The period to test and initiate a Defrost cycle can be
configured for 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes.
Supplemental Heat/Emergency Heat —
Supplemental heat type is determined by 40RUQ indoor
unit options and accessories. This heat is initiated when
the indoor unit W2 terminal is energized by the
thermostat. (Or as detailed in "Defrost Cycle" above.) The
thermostat may energize W2 as supplemental (2nd stage)
heat at higher space heating demand, or when selected as
emergency heat mode. When the space heating demand
decreases below the 2nd stage limit, or emergency heat is
turned off, W2 is de-energized, and supplemental heat is
turned off.
Cooling and Heating Shutdown —
Partial or complete cooling or heating functions may
shutdown caused by loss of main power, open pressure
switches, diagnostic alarms, or open internal compressor
protections. See Service section for further details.
