MAJOR COMPONENTS

Variable speed Control Board
Fig. 29 - - AOC (Application Operational Control) Board
The AOC board is located in the lower right hand side of inverter
tray. It's functions include:
S Compressor speed control
S Outdoor fan motor control
S Reversing valve operation
S Defrost operation
S Crankcase heater operation
S Pressure switch monitoring
S Time Delays
S Pressure Transducer measurements
S PEV control (pressure equalizer valve)
S Temperature measurements
S EXV (Electronic Expansion Valve) operation control
S Inverter communication and control
Inverter
The inverter is located inside the control box. This is an air- -cooled
device that communicates with the control board and drives the
compressor and fan motor to the demanded RPM. The inverter is
always powered with line voltage since no contactor is used. The
inverter changes the line voltage to DC volts and then recreates 3
phase sine waves that vary in frequency to drive the compressor
and fan motor at the desired RPM.
NOTE: The unit may be operated with an Evolution Connex
Control or a standard 2- -stage HP thermostat. Evolution Connex
Control will utilize 5 stages of heating and cooling, while 2- -stage
HP thermostat will only allow 2 discrete stages of heating and
cooling operation.
Manufacturer reserves the right to change, at any time, specifications and designs without notice and without obligations.
Variable Speed Compressor
This unit contains a variable speed rotary compressor that has a
wide operating range. It operates on a variable 3 phase sine wave
provided by the inverter. This compressor can only be operated by
the specific inverter supplied with the unit.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment damage
and/or improper operation.
Do not attempt to apply line voltage directly to the
compressor. This will destroy the compressor.
Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV)
This unit uses an electronic expansion valve for refrigerant
metering in the heating mode. The control board drives the EXV to
its proper position based on the operating mode and conditions.
The Evolution Connex Control Service mode allows for manual
opening and closing of the EXV for troubleshooting and pump
down.
Field control Connections
For communicating operation use the communication Evolution
plug only. Only two wires, AB (color), are required. If necessary,
connect C for additional grounding (see Fig. 6). If using standard
2- -stage HP thermostat, connect discrete inputs (R,C,Y2,Y1,O,W)
A13361
for 2- -stage control in heating and cooling modes.
Pressure Transducer (SPT)
A 5 VDC output low pressure transducer that provides a 0- -5 VDC
data for interpretation by the control board for a 0 to 200 psig
range of pressure at the suction tube. This interpreted pressure data
is then intelligently used by the AOC control board for low
pressure cut- -out, loss of charge management, compressor
protection, oil circulation management, lubrication management
and EXV control.
Pressure Equalizer Valve (PEV)
At the end of every compressor operation (after the 3.5 minute
Time Guard period), the equalizer valve opens for 150 seconds
plus an additional 15 seconds of protection before allowing the
compressor to start ramping up.
The PEV is located next to the suction and discharge of the
compressor. The function of this valve is to prevent the
compressor from starting with a high refrigerant pressure
differential, thus helping the reliability of the compressor.
NOTE: A hissing sound may be heard during the equalization
process. This is normal.
