4.3 Modes of Operation General operation sequences for cooling, heating and defrost are provided in the following sub-sections. Operational software responds to various inputs. These inputs come from the temperature sensors and pressure transducers, the temperature setpoint, the settings of the configuration variables and the function code assignments.
4.3.2.3 Perishable Idle / Air Circulation When it is unnecessary to run the compressor to maintain control temperature, the system enters Perishable Idle Mode. The controller has determined that cooling is not required or the controller logic determines suction pressure is at the low pressure limit.
4.3.2.6 Perishable Mode Cooling - Sequence of Operation NOTE In Standard Perishable Mode, the evaporator motors run in high speed. In Economy Fan Mode, the fan speed is varied. a. When supply air temperature is above setpoint and decreasing, the unit will cool with the condenser fan motor (CF), compressor motor (CH), and evaporator fan motors (EF) energized, and the white COOL light illuminated.
4.3.2.7 Perishable Mode Heating - Sequence of Operation a. If the supply air temperature decreases 0.5°C (0.9°F) below setpoint, the system enters the Heating Mode The controller closes contacts TH, see Figure 4.5, to allow power flow through the heat termination thermostat (HTT) to energize the heaters (HR).
Page 57
If the above conditions are true for at least one hour, the evaporator fans will switch from high speed to low speed. Evaporator fan speed will then switch every hour, as long as the four conditions are met. See Bulb mode, Section 4.3.3.2, for different evaporator fan speed options.

4.3.4 Frozen Mode Temperature Control Frozen mode is active with any setpoint entered on the unit display that is below either -10°C (+14°F) or -5°C (+23°F). This is dependent on the setting chosen in configuration variable Heat Lockout Temperature. In Frozen Mode, the controller maintains the return air temperature at setpoint, the yellow RETURN indicator light is illuminated, and the default reading on the display window is the return temperature sensor (RTS).
4.3.4.5 Frozen Mode Cooling - Sequence of Operation a. When the return air temperature is above setpoint and decreasing, the unit will transition to economized cooling with the condenser fan motor (CF), compressor motor (CH), economizer solenoid valve (ESV), low speed evaporator fan motors (ES) energized and the white COOL light illuminated.
4.3.6 Defrost Defrost is initiated to remove ice buildup from the evaporator coil which can obstruct air flow and reduce the cooling capacity of the unit. The defrost cycle may consist of up to three distinct operations depending upon the reason for the defrost or model number configuration.
When defrost is initiated, the controller closes the EEV, opens contacts TC, TN and TE (or TV) to de-energize the compressor, condenser fan and evaporator fans. The controller then closes contacts TH to supply power to the heaters. The orange DEFROST light and HEAT light are illuminated and the COOL light is also de-energized.
