Sequence Of Operation For Conventional 24Vac Thermostat Controls - Rheem ECONET RP2024BJVCA Installation Instructions Manual

6.0 NORMAL SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
5. The indoor air-handler or gas furnace
is directed to supply supplemental heat
to prevent cold air from being discharged
from the supply registers during the
defrost cycle.
6. The compressor speed is ramped to the
pre-determined defrost speed for the
duration of the defrost cycle.
• Defrost Termination: The defrost cycle will
continue until the coil temperature has reached
the termination temperature or 14 minutes
have elapsed, whichever comes first. The
factory default termination temperature is 60°F
[15.6°C], although this temperature can be
changed to 40°F [4.4°C], 50°F [10°C], or 70°F
[21.1°C] using dip switches on the VSODC (see
chart below for dip switch settings). When
the coil temperature reaches the termination
temperature or 14 minutes have elapsed, the
following action is taken.
1. The compressor speed is ramped to the
reversing valve switching speed for 30
seconds before the reversing valve is
energized.
2. The reversing valve will be energized,
switching it back to the heating position.
3. The outdoor fan motor is energized.
4. Auxiliary heat is de-energized.
5. The EXV will return to the normal
superheat control mode.
6. The compressor speed will ramp to a pre-
determined oil circulation speed for 6
minutes.
7. The system returns to normal heating
operation as directed by the EcoNet
Control Center.
NOTE: Should the outdoor ambient
temperature thermistor fail, the VSODC
will initiate a defrost every 34 minutes of
operation when the coil temperature is
below 35°F.

6.8 Sequence
of Operation for
Conventional 24VAC
Thermostat Controls
When the (-)P20**B heat pump system is
controlled by a conventional 24VAC 2-stage
thermostat rather than the EcoNet
Center, the system will operate as follows:
The system will operate as a single-stage
•
system instead of a variable speed system.
When a call for cooling or heating is received
•
from the thermostat, the compressor will
start and operate at the nominal capacity
level and the (-)HMV air-handler will deliver
the nominal air-flow level. For dual fuel
applications, an (-)802V, (-)96V, (-)97V, or
(-)98V variable speed gas furnace will deliver
100% of the cooling air-flow level selected
by dip switches on the furnace control
board. Y1 & Y2 must be jumpered at the
furnace control board.
When the call for operation ends, the system
•
will shut down and remain in stand-by mode
until another call for operation occurs.
Demand defrost and low-ambient cooling
•
function normally.
