Operation Section 5.7 Basic Operation (1) Control panel • Before operating the unit, it is important to be familiar with the basic operation of the control panel. Activates/deactivates the cool mode; turns the unit off. COOL ON/OFF Button Activates/deactivates the fan only mode; turns the unit off. FAN Button SET TEMP Buttons ( / ) Increases/decreases the temperature set point during cool mode.
Page 30
Operation Section (2) Fan only mode • When the FAN button on the control panel is pressed, the FAN “ON” LED illuminates, and the fan operates. At this time, the compressor is off, and only the fan is in operation. When the FAN button is pressed again, the fan stops.
Operation Section 5.8 Relay Board • The relay board contains the compressor and fan on relays, in addition to a step-down transformer that converts the line voltage (215/220 VAC) to 12 V. This voltage is then converted from AC to DC and used for relay coil activation. The 12 V (DC) power is sent to the control panel assembly, further being reduced to 5 V for the system logic.
Page 32
Operation Section (2) Input signal • The relay board receives inputs from the control panel, sensors, and external devices to perform device control. Control Panel Input Symbol Indication Function Connector ON/OFF Button On/off control for unit operation. Turns the unit on and off. Changes the fan control mode between continuous and automatic FAN Button on/off control.

Specifications: - 52ID (Fan motor On-Off) relay output: 5 A at AC 250 V (2) Compressor start control...
Page 35
Operation Section (4) Compressor time delay control (compressor protection) • Compressor protection consists of a time delay program within the microprocessor. This program prevents a heavy load from being applied to the compressor motor when restarting the unit (cool mode) after a very short period of time. This “delay” is in effect any time the compressor is turned on by either the COOL ON/OFF button, or power interruption restart (automatic recovery.) Specifications:...
Operation Section (6) Temperature control • During cool mode, temperature control changes the 52CM (compressor on/off) relay status according to RTS temperature in the available range (-4 °F to 140 °F (-20 °C to 60 °C)). 52CM (Compressor Relay) (Set Temp. -3 °F) Set Temp (Set Temp.
