2. Functional Control
a. Thermostat and Relay Control
When thermostat calls for the fan in cooling, heat pomp,
heating, or fan-only mode, a 24-vdc signal is sent to
relay. This causes the relay to close its nonnally-opcn
contacts, turning On fan. When thermostat no longer calls
for the fan, the signal sent to relay is turned off and relay
opens causing fan to turn off after a 90-sec fan-off delay,
b. Sequencer Interlock
The fan will also Operate whenever there is a call for
electric heat, even if fan relay is nOt energized. This
happens because fan is interlocked with first stage of
electric heat through the normally-dosed contact of fan
relay.
NOTE: The fan interlock is only connected to first stage electric
heat W2, W3 and E do not contain an interlock with fan. See
outdoor thermostat Installation Instructions when electric heat
Staging is desired;
C. Electric Heat
When thermostat calls for electric heat, a 24-vac signal is sent to
PCB through WZ, causing first stage to turn on. W3 and E also
receive signal if wired in with WZ. The signal sent to WZ causes
J5r$t stage to turn on. If W3 and E arc not wired to W2, the
sequencers can be controlled individually to stage additional
electric heat. The sequence control is described in the following
Section;
1. W2
When thermostat sends a signal to WZ, a Z4-vac signal is
applied across sequencer number f, causing it to close after
a short delay. When sequencer number 1 closes, first stage
of electric heal is energized. In straight electric heat, fan is
also energized through the nonnally-doscd contacts of fan
relay. In cooling, heat pump, or manual fan mode, fan will
already be running since fan relay would have been
energized. When thermostat stops calling for electric heat,
the 24-'Vac signal to sequencer number 1 turns off and
sequencer opens after a delay of 60 to 90 sec. When
sequencer opens, first stage of heat turns off along with fan,
providing thermostat is not calling for the fan.
2. W3
When a signal is sent to W3, a 24-vaO Signal to sequencer
number 2 causes sequencer to dose, with Second stage of
electric heat turning on after a short delay. The 24-vac

IF THERE IS NO HIGH VOLTAGE TO PCB:
1. Check plug connection between heaters and board. This
supplies power to transformer and fan. Be sure plug is
connected properly.
2. Check sequencer number 1 and plug wiring. Yellow wire
should be connected to pin number 9 of plug and to limit
switch. Black wire should be connected to pin number 7 of
plug and to sequencer number 1-
3- Check incoming high-voltage power leads, tf these arc not

IF PCB HAS HIGH VOLTAGE APPLIED TO IT;
1, Check low-voltage transformer leads R (red) and C
(brown). Make sure they are wired to correct location. The
unit will not function without proper connections.
2. Check output voltage of transformer secondary side R (red)
and C (brown). If transformer output is low (less than 18
vac), reifer to items 3 and 4 of previous If PCB Has High
Voltage Applied To It section.
IF TRACES ARE OVERHEATED ON BACK OF PCB:
Usually whenever a trace is blown on PCB, it means cither there
has been a high-voltage short or high voltage has been applied to
low-voltage circuit. This can be prevented by making sure PCB is
wired correctly before PCB has power applied to it,
C, If PCB Fuse Keeps Blowing:
When loW“Voltage fuse blows, it means transformer would have
blown if fuse had riot been in circuit to protect it. The fuse usually
blows when there is a high Current draw on transformer, high
voltage applied to low-voltagc circuit, Or a direct secondary short.
When there is a high current draw on transformer, it is most likely
because transformer has been shorted or system is trying to draw
more va than transformer rating allows. When fuse blows because
of high voltage, the system has mixed high- and low-voltage
signals.
1. Check wiring of sequencers as shown in Fig. 4, Be sure
transformer is not shorting out because thermostat wires arc
miswired.
2. Check wiring of sequencers as shown in Fig. 4. Be sure
low-voJtagc and high-voltage wiring is connected to proper
sequencers.
3. Check va draw on transformer. If va draw is more than va
rating of transformer, fuse will blow. If this is the case,
replace transformer with one that has a higher va rating and
meets system spccifícationS-
D. If F^n Runs Continuously:
1. If PCB has no low-vohage power, check blue and black fan
leads. These may be switched at sequencer,
2. If PCB has lowwoltage power, check fan relay to see if it is ,
opening and closing. It may be stuck in the normally-closed
position due to debris in relay.
E- Transformer Failure:
1. Check 208-v and 230-v transformer connections. They may
be miswired.
ELECTRIC HEATER FUNCTION AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
This section describes KFA and KFB series electric heaters by
examining the functional operation of these heaters,
I. DESCRIPTION OF ELECTRIC HEATER
COMPONENTS
A. Limit Switch
The limit switch is a temperature-sensitive control whose function
is to prevent System from, overheating in abnormal conditions. The
temperature settings often vary from heater to heater due to
variations in airflow patterns and clement radiant heat conditions.
The devices arc sized to remain on-line under heat pump condi
tions (11 ST air off coil) and minimum CFM;, but trip to prevent
outlet air conditions above 200T or excessive component or duct
temperatures.
The device itself consists of a bimetallic disc, which when
overheated "snaps through" to open a normaliy-closed highvoltage, high-current switch. When system temperatures cool
sufficiently, the switch will automatically reset to its closed
position. Normal failure mode for this switch is open.
If a limit switch has been determined to be défective, NEVER
BYPASS THE LIMIT SWITCH. When replacing limit Switch,
ensure that it is replaced with a limit switch of identical opening
température and closing differential. Limits switches are typically
color coded to identify their range.
B. Sequencer
The sequencer is essentially a thermally activated time-delay relay
normally activated by low-voltage control signals from thermostat.
The typical sequencer is a 1- Or 2-pole normally-open device
which energizes within 10 to 30 sec after application of control
signal and de-energizes 60 to 90 sec after control signal is
removed.
In simplistic terms, the sequencers which we use are nothing more
than normally-open limit switches which sit on top of a small
resistive heater. When voltage is applied to this heater, a positive
temperature coefficient resistor (BTC), heat is supplied to a
bimetallic disc which "snaps through" and closes switchTbe time required for PTC to heat to a suffiejeut point controls ON
timing of device. The time required for disc to cool down when
power is removed controls OFF time of device. The PTC can be
varied to provide varied timing. Typically a short ON equates to a
long OFF,
Because this is a thermally-activated device, ambient conditions
affect the ON/OFF cycle. Higher ambient temperature means
shorter ON times and longer OFF times.
These sequencers may be "ganged up" to 3 On a common mounting
plate to control up to 6 heater elements. In this situation, PTCs arc
different in each sequencer to provide a staged QN of a minimum
of 10 sec between each sequencer — 3 stages of 2 elements since
the KFA and KFB Series .Деа1ег8 use , sequencers in which both
switches of the 2-polc sequencer close simultaneously. Older
models used sequencers which had a minimum delay of fO sec
between each switch.
Application of these devices is such that the first switch ON not
only turns on first heater element, but also ensures that indoor fan
is energized, because first ON is last OFF. This ensures fan
remains ON until the last heater de-energizes-
с. Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC)
The PTC heater is essentially a resistor. It will operate on either
AC or DC voltages. It should be noted that because resistance of
PTC increases as, it, heats, initial current inrush is higher than its
steady state condition.

3. Replace sequencer contacts. They may be stuck closed.
E. Nuisance Trips
1. Check for low airflow due to dirty filters» blocked registers,
Of Undersized duct.
2. Check blower motor and wheel for proper operation.
Excessive current draw of motor will cause internal over
load to trip.
3. The fan Speed may be low.
FK4B FAN COIL DESCRIPTION
AND TROUBLESHOOTING
The FK4B is similar to the discontinued FK4A only in that they
both have integrated controls and motor (ICM) and their own
Special circuit board. The greatest difference between the 2 models
is the way each goes about delivering air.
Setting up desired airflow on the FK4B is obtained by the
selections made on Easy Select circuit board. The motor delivers
requested airflow as defined by signals received from Easy Select
Board and its internal programming. The major difference is that
the FK4B motor reacts to changes in system static pressures to
mainiain constant airflow.
Unlike conventional fan coils where static pressure affects airflow,
the FK4B is a constant airflow unit. The blower delivers requested
airflow up to about 0.7 in. of static pressure. The ÏCM2 is
pre-programmed and contains airflows for al) modes of operation.
Blower characteristics (airflow, torque, and spccd-vs-static pres
sure) are known from laboratory testing. If any 3 characteristics are
known, the fourth iS defined.
Requested airflow is known because of Easy Select board con
figuration and thermostat signals. Torque is known because it is
directly related to armature current which is measured by motor
control. Speed is measured from its generated back EMF. This
information is entered into an expression which calculates tOrque
from speed and airflow numbers. If calculation does not match
stored blower characteristics, torque is adjusted every 0.6 sec until
agreement is reached. The unit does not directly measure static
pressure, but does react to a^ change in static to maintain constant ■
airflow.
I. INTEGRATED CONTROLS AND MOTOR (ICM2)
The ICM2 is similar to the ICMI used in FK4A series units, but
cannot be used as ,a replacement without some modification to
FK4A unit. Consult SMB 93-0052 for motor conversion kit. The
electronics of motor are built into rear of motor, deriving the name
ICM, (Sec Fig, 5.)
An ICM is first fed high voltage AC power through the 5-pin
connector. The AC power is then rectiEcd to DC by a diode
module. After rectification, DC signal is electronically communi
cated and fed in sequential order to 3 stator windings. The
frequency of.communication pulses dctemiines motor speed. The
rotor is permanently magnetized.
An ICM is powered with high voltage at all times. The motor will
not run with high voltage alone. Low voltage must be applied to
control plug to run motor-
II. PCB LAYOUT AND DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Layout of actual PCB is depicted in Fig, 6 and 7,
The control is a single PCB which interfaces a variable-speed
ICM2 with Other System components.
Power for system is supplied from a 230-vac^ 60-Hz line. Class 2
voltage (24 vac nom.), used for thermostat connections, is derived
from a transformer located in close proximity to control. The
primary and Secondary of transformer are connected to control
board. The 24-vac secondary circuit includes a socket, soldered
into circuit at SEC2, to receive a 5-amp automotive-type fuse.
Connection to heater panel is made through 12-circuit connector
PI. Connections to thermostat are made at screw terminals. Line
voltage for ICM2 is made through 7-circuit connector P2. Eighteen
quick-connect terminals comprise field select taps for motor.

III, SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
A. Continuous Fan Mode
The thermostat closes circuit R to G, The G signal is sent directly
to ICM2.
B. Cooling Mode—Single Speed or 2-Speed High
Thermostat closes circuits R to Y/Y2 and R to O (heat pump only)
for single speed. A circuit from R to Y1 is also required for
2-spced high. The Y/Y2 signal is sent directly to 1CM2.
C. Cooling Mode—Two-Speed Low
Thermostat closes circuits R to Y1 and R to O (heat pump only).
The Yl signal is sent directly to ICM2.
D. Electric Heat Heating Mode
Thermostat doses circuit R to W2, W3, or E,
The terminal block positions W2, W3, and E arc tied together by
jumpers JWl and JW2, These jumpers are provided for field
staging of electric heater banks through use of thermostats. When
staging is a requirement, installer cuts jumpers and wires in
thermostats as is the common practice with other fan coils. To
ensure motor operation if any 1 of the inputs is energized^ the 3
electric heater inputs arc also interlocked through diodes Dl, D2^
and D3 to motor W input.
E. Heat Pump Heating Mode—Single Speed or 2-Speed
High ■
Thcmiostai doses circuit R to Y/Y2 for single speed. A dreuit
from R to Yl is also required for 2-speed high. The Y/Y2 signal
is sent directly to ICM2,
F. Heat Pump Heating Mode—Two-Speed Low
Thermostat doses R to Yl. The Yl signal is sent directly to ICM2.
G. Heat Pump Heating With Auxiliary Electric Heat
Thermostat doses circuits R to Y/Y2 and/or R to Yl with R to W2,
W3, Or E (and R to 0 in the case of defrost).
See previously described modes for circuit paths.
In the event that electric heating is called for by thermostat while
heat pump is also operating in either heating or defrost mode,
electric heating signal will appear at motor connector pin 1 as
described previously. If necessary» the motor will modify its
airflow output to provide an airflow which is deEned as safe for
operation of electric heater.

И. CFM Select Configuration Taps
The CTM Select taps are used by installer to configure system. The
ICM2 is capable of discerning wave shapes on some of its input?
and uses this capability to modify its operation to a pre
programmed table of airflows and can be modified in response to
other inputs Such as the need for de-humidification.
I. 1CM2 Control Power
The ICM2 control power is supplied from R circuit through
printed-circuit runs to motor control connector pin 6|, through

The low-voltage circuit is fused by a board-mounted 5-amp
automotive-type fuse placed in series with transformer SEC2 and
R circuit. The C circuit of transformer is referenced to chassis
ground through a printed-circuit run at SECl connected to metal

IV, EASY SELECT CONFIGURATION TAPS
The Easy Select taps are used by installer to configuire system. The
ICM2 uses selected taps to modify its operation to a pre
programmed table of airflows. Airflows are based on system size
or mode of operatibh and thosd airflows arc modified in response
to other inpüts stich as the need for de-humidifícation. (Sec Fig. 6.)
The FK4B Ran Coil must be configured to operate properly with
system components with which it is installed. To successfully
configure a basic system (see information printed on circuit board
located next to select pins), move the 5 select wires to pins which
match components used,
A. Auxiliary Heat Range
The installer must select the auxiliary heat airflow approved for
application with kw size heater installed. If no heater is installed,
skip this step. Each select pin is marked with a range of heaters for
which airflow (also marked) is approved. The heater installed must
fall within range selected for safe and continuous operation. It is
appropriate to mention that airflow marked is the airflow which
will be supplied in emergency heat mode and heating mode on air
conditioners when electric heat is primary heating source. To
ensure safe heater operation in heat pump heating mode when
electric heaters are energized, the ICM3 will run the higher or heat
pump efficiency airflow and electric heater airflow. The factory
selection is largest heater range approved. (See Fig- 6-)
Fig, 6—Easy
B. AC/HP Size
The fectory setting for air conditioner or heat pump size is largest
unit meant for application with model of fan coil purchased. The
installer needs to select air conditioner or heat pump size to ensure
that airflow delivered falls within proper range for size of unit
installed in all operational modes. (See Fig. 6.)
C. System Type
The type of system must be selected.
1. AC—air conditioner
2. HP-COMFORT—provides same airflow as air conditioner

plug is connected properly,
2. Check sequencer number 1 and plug wiring. Yellow wire
should be connected to pin number 9 of plug and to limit
switch. Black wire should be connected to pin number 7 of
plug and to sequencer number 1.
3. Check power leads LI and L2, If these arc not receiving
power. System cannot function.
1, Check low-voltage transformer leads (red and brown). Be
sure they are wired to correct locations, (Sec Fig. 6 and 8,)

2, Check output voltage of transformer secondary side SEC2
and SECl. Be sure transformer output is around 24 vac. If
tráíisfoTOjef output is zero vac and transformer is! receiving
correct input voltage (208v or 240v), then transformer
needs to be replaced with recommended transformer. If
transfoirtier output is 24 vaCj proceed to items 3 and 4,
3. Check Jow-voltage fuse shown in Fig. 6. If fuse is blown,
replace it. The transfortner cannot supply power to board
with fuse blown or loose. If fuse blows when unit has power
applied to it, the system most likely has 1 of the following
problems:
a. Check control circuit for a short or miswiring problem,
b. The maximui» load on transformer is 40 va. If load on
transformer is excessive, the low-voltage 5-amp firse
will blow to protect transfomicr. If load exceeds va
rating of transformer, a larger va rated transformer needs
to be installed. Check sequencers for excessive current
draw.
c. Check wiring of heaters. If a heater is miswirsd, fuse
may blow, if a heater is mis wired, correct miswiring.
4. Check Tl, T2, and T3 connections on primary side of
transformer. If they are not connected properly, low-voltage
terminal board cannot supply 24-v signal to energize fan
motor. If transformer is receiving correct primary voltage
but is not putting Out correct secondary voltage, transformer
needs to be replaced,
B, If Electric Heat Stages Will Not Turn On But Fan WIN
Turn On:
1. Check wiring of sequencers. Pay particular attention to
high- and low-voltagB wiring of sequencers.
2. Check plug wiring to make sure that it is wired correctly,
3. Check voltage to sequencer. Sequencer number 1 receives a
24-vac signal. If it is receiving correct voltage, cheek to see
if sequencer is closing. If sequencer is not dosing but is

C. If PCB Fuse Keeps Blowing:
When low-voltage fuse blows, it means transformer would have
blown if fuse had not been in circuit to protect it. The fuse usually
blows when there is a high current drawn on transformer, high
voltage applied to low-voltage circuit, or a direct secondary short.
When there is a high current drawn on fransforaier, it is most likely
because transformer has been shorted or system is trying to draw
more va than transformer rating allows. When fuse blows because
of high voltage, the system has mixed high- and levy-voltage
signals,
1. Check transformer and thermostat wiring. (See Fig. 6 and
8,) Be Sure transformer is not shorting out because thermo
stat wires are miswired,
2. Check wiring of sequencers. (See Fig. 6 and 8,) Be sure
low-voltage and high-voltage wiring are connected to
proper sequencers.
3. Check va draw o.n transformer. If va draw is more than va
rating of transformer, fuse will blow. If this is the case,
replace transformer with one that has a higher va rating and
meets system specifications,
VI. TROUBLESHOOTING ICM2 FAN MOTOR
A. If Motor Does Not Run:
1. With power turned off, check all plugs and receptacles on
circuit board and at motor for any defonnation that may
cause a bad connection. Be sure all plugs are placed fully
seated.
%. Verify that there are approximately 230v at terminals Ml
apd Iyf2.,lf not, determine if high voltage is entering board.
It enters through black and yellow wires at pins 7 and ? in
12-pin plug.
3, Verify that there is a low-voltage control signal to motor.
The motor receives its contml signals through the 7-pin
mQ,tor plug P2. The voltage output of each pin in plug will
be different for each mode of operation. Table 6 lists circuit
board screw terminals that have 24 vac present (powered by
thermostat) and lists voltage that is present at each pin of
7-pin plug for each operating mode. Tests should be taken
between points listed and common (C screw terminal). If all
values of any 1 of operating modes checks OK and motor
fails to run, then motor is defective and should be replaced,
B. If Motor Does Not Run Smoothly;
First verify that the cause is not an out-of-balapce or damaged
blower wheel. If it is not blower wheel, motor is defective and
should be replaced.
C. If Motor Shaft Does Not Rotate Smoothly:
When manually turning Shaft Of ICM, the shaft does not rotate
smoothly. The shaft has steps during rotation and is referred to as
motor cogging. The cogging is caused, by permanent magnets
passing each pole of motor. However, shaft should not require
excessive force to turn. If shaft is VERY difficult to turn, motor
control or bearings have failed and motor must be replaced.
D. If Motor Does Not Stop Running
1. Check for good ground between motor ground lead and
transformer common lead.
2. If motor continues to nin, remove all thermostat wires. If
motor stops, replace circuit board.
3. If motor continues to run, remove the 7-pin plug. If motor
continues to run, replace motor.
VII. CONDENSED VERSION OF TROUBLESHOOTING
FK4B MOTOR AND CONTROLS
This section provides a quick summary of how to troubleshoot the
FK4B. If more information is needed, refer to appropriate sections
of this service manual.
+ MOTOR
- If motor is hard to turn manually, replace motor.
- If motor docs not. run, check the components listed below
according to their instructions.
■- If motor runs in some operation modes and not in others,
check for a good ground connection between motor ground
lead and circuit board screw marked "ground screw" and
check the room thermostat and wiring harness according to
instructions listed below.
- If motor does not stop running, remove the 7-pin plug from
circuit board. If motor continues to run, replace motor. If
motor stops running,''it is either the circuit board or thermo
stat causing the problem. Test whether thermostat is at fault
by disconnecting it from the board.
+ CIRCUIT BOARD
- Check 5-amp fuse,
- Check for 230v between terminals Ml and M2. If m voltage
is present, check power to'board. 230-v power enters the
board through the black and yellow lead in the 12-pin plug,
- Check for 24v between SECl and'SEC2, If no voltage is
present, check the transformer.
- Check for burn traces or burnt components. If bum spots arc
present, replace board.
'13-
A Ï Ï G / 1 4 / 2 0 0 8 / T H U 0 3 : 4 8
+ ROOM THERMOSTAT
- Remove thetrtiOStst 'wires from the circuit board,
- Jumper screw terminais (J at & time) R-G, R-Y/Y2, R-YJ^
and R-W2, If motor runs in all cases, thermostat is bad.
Replace thermostat. If motor does not run, or runs in some
cases but not in others, continue by checking the wiring
harness.
+ WIRING HARNESS
- Shut off power to unit.
- Remove 5-pin plug from motor.
CAUTION: Never remove 5-pin high voltage plug from
A
the motor with the power on.
Remove 16-pin plug from motor. ,
Replace 5-pin plug and turn on power.
Check for 24v between pin-1 and pin-12 on the l6-pin plug.
If rm voltage is present, replace wiring'harness. (See Fig, 9.)
If voltage is present, jumper screw terminal R-Y/Y2 on
circuit board and check for 24v between pjh-1-2 and pin-14 on
16-pin plug. (See Fig. 9 ) If no voltage is present, replace
harness.
H 24v is present, the motor is bad. Replace motor.

VIII. ACCESSORIES
A. Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC)
Familiar 230-vac EAC control/power signal EACl and БАС2 is
not available, because the ICM2 blower motor used in the FK4B
Fan Coil is controlled by low-voUsgc signals. This signal is
replaced by a 24“Vdc signal which is provided at circuit board
terminals AUXl and AUX2, (See Fig 6.)
This signal is present when either G or W is present and' is active
in all heating and cooling modes. Because 24-vdc relays may not
be readily available to installer, a kit exists, KFAJROIOIACR,
containing a 24-vdc relay which mounts directly inside EAC
cabinet. User-supplied 110 vac is switched by relay to power air
cleaner when G or W arc present. (See Fig. 10 and 11.)
In heat pump applications, the G signal is present in both cooling
and heating modes, permitting НАС to be controlled from G signal
only. For this application, a user-supplied 24-vac relay can be
driven by G terminal eliminating need for relay kit.
B. FK4B De-Hufflidify Mode
NOTE: Humidistat must open cm humidity rise.
Latent capacities for systems using the FK4B Fan Coil are better
than average systems. If increased latent capacity is an application
requirenjeut, the FK4B can be wired to provide this requirement by
adjusting its airflow in response to standard humidistat input. Fig.
12 illustrates the wiring connections to activate de-huraidify mode.
Carefully consult product airflow data for cooling and dehumidiiying mode,

The standard TXV is a bi-flow meterijig device that is used in
condensing and heat pump systems to adjust to changing load
conditions by maintaining a preset superheat temperature at outlet
of evaporator coil. The volume of refrigerant metered through
valve scat is dependent upon the following:
1. Superheat temperature sensed by sensing bulb on suction
tube at Outlet of evaporator coil. As long as this bulb
contains some liquid refrigerantj this temperature is con
verted into pressure pushing downward on the diaphragm,
which opens the valve via push rods,
2. The Suction pressure at outlet of evaporator coil is trans
ferred via the external equalizer tube to underside of
diaphragm.
3. The needle valve On pin carrier is spring-loaded, which also
exerts pressure on underside of diaphragm via push rods,
which doses valve. Therefore, bulb pressure equals evapo
rator pressure at outlet of coil plus spring pressure. If load
increases, temperature increases at bulb, which increases
pressure on topside of diaphragm, which pushes pin carrier
away from seal, opening valve and increasing flow of
re:frigerant. The increased refrigerant flow causes increased
leaving evaporator pressure which is transferred via the
equalizer tube to underside of diaphragm, with which the
pin carrier spring pressure closes valve. The refrigerant
flow is effectively stabilised to load demand with negligible
change in superheat.
The bi-flow TXV is used on split system heat pumps. In cooling
mode, TXV operates the same as a standard TXV previously
explained. However, when system is switched to heating mode of
operation, refrigerant ,flow is reversed. The bi"flow TXV has an
additional internal cheeje valve and external tubing. These addi
tions allow refrigerant to bypass TXV when refrigerant flow is
reversed with only a 1- to 2-psig pressure drop through device.
When heat pump switches to defiost mode, refrigerant flows
through a completely open (not throttled) TXV, The bulb Senses
the residual heat of outlet tube of coil that had been operating in
heating mode (about S5“F and 155 psig). This temporary, not
throttled valve, decreases indoor pressure drop, which in turn .
increases refrigerant flow rate, decreases overall defrost time, and
enhances defrost efficiency.
I. PROBLEMS AFFECTING TXV
A. Low Suction Pressure
1. Restriction in TXV
2. Low refrigerant charge
3. Low indoor load
4. Low evaporator airflow
B. High Suction Pressure

FUNCTION AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1. The low-voltage terminal board is used to coimeot indoor
thermostat to low, 24-v side of transformer and to serve as
a junction between indoor thermostat and outdoor seefion.
a, R terminal is used to connect secondary side of trans
former to thermostat and outdoor unit. R is fused.
b. C terminal is used to connect transformer secondary
common for thermostat and outdoor unit.
c, Y terminal provides input signal from thermostat signal
ing heat pump operation,
d. G terminal provitJes input signal from thermostat signal
ing cdnUiiiiOus fan 'dperatidn,
c, O terminal provides input and junction terminal for
reversing vaive sign'd.
f, W2D terminal provides input from outdoor unit (heat
pump) signaling control board that heat pump is in
defrost.
g. W2T terminal provides input from thermostat signaling
for supplemental or emergency heat.
h. W3 terminal provides input from outdoor thermostat.
W3 and W2T are factory connected by JWl. Thl^ input
is used only if an outdoor thermostat is required by local
codes.
i, Y(, rerinihar provides output from control board to
energize outdoor unit (heat pump) contactor.
a. JWl connects W2T to W3 to limit staging of electric
heat with use of an outdoor thermostat. See Table 7 for
staging. Smart Heat PCB controls staging to the extent
that this feature is unnecessary unless required by local
codes Or regulations.
b. Cutting JW2 sets Smart Heat PCB in efficiency mods.
With JW2 cut, there is no loss of performance due to
reduced indoor blower speed when heat pump is oper
ating near balance point. This jumper may need to be cut
if selected cooling fan speed is the same as required
minimum motor LO speed tap selection. With JW2 cut,
fan terminal LO becomes a dummy terminal.

NOTE: When troubleshooting dements, position thermostat to
emergency heat. Wait approximately 12 minutes for all elements to
come On,
1. When thermostat calls for electric heat, a 24-v signal is sent
to PCB through W2T, The PCE energizes first stage of
electric heat.

2. Blower Off Delay—Smart Heat control uses a 60-scc off
blower delayj as opposed to the standard 90-sec delay.
IIL SMART HEAT OPERATION
A. Cooling
The Smart Heat option controls cooling mode in same manner as
conventional heat pumps are controlled. The fan has a 90-sec delay
off/oji cycle down,
B. Heat Pump Heating
The Smart Heat option docs not control heating in the conventional
method. The PCB energizes compressor 30 sec before indoor fan
is energized. This allows indoor coil to heat up eliminating
cold-blow on start“Up,
The electric heat is staged-on to allow continuous operation of heat
pump and electric,resistance heat below balance point (below point
where heat pump cannot maintain dwelling temperature without
supplemental heat) independent of outdoor thermostats.
Although PCB has provisions for an outdoor thermostat, it is not
needed for staging. On cycle down, indoor fan remains on 60 sec
to recover heat stored in indoor coil,
C- Defrost
The Smart Heat PCB stages the correct amount of supplemental
heat during defrost. If too much heat is added, system stays in
defrost for completion of defrost cycle even though thermostat is
satisfied. On next cycle, 1 less element is energized during next
defrost period.
NOTE: If 24-v power from thermostat is inteiiupted while unit is
in defrost mode, the default cycle will be completed before unit
shuts down.
P. Troubleshooting PrInted-CIrcult Board
(Diagnostic LED)
The PCB of Smart Heat option heater package contains a micro
processor which controls fan operation, fan speed, outdoor unit,
and heater elements. Bor troubleshooting, a service LED Indicates
condition of PCB, Sec Tabic 8 for LED flash codes,
NOTE: Refer to Table 9 for proper input and output voltages.
A. Ready-To-Start
In rcady-to-start (standby) mode, LED on board indicates a steady
flash.
In this mode, 24-v power should be available at control's low
voltage terminal strip terminals R and C. If 24v is not present
across R and C, check the followiug:

* Is low-voltage fuse on control board good?
' Are line voltage fuses FUl and FU2 good?
■ Is LED on control on steadily or not on at all? Both of these
indications signal a possible board failure.
‘ Is 2ÜS/230-V power available to control across pins 7 and 9
of 9-pin connector? Is connection to board tight?
B. Continuous Fan
On a call for continuous fan, thermostat provides a 24-v input
signal to G terminal on low-voltage terminal strip. Sensing this
signal, the microprocessor euergizeiS a relay on control to provide
power to high-speed winding of fan motor, at 1. The fan continues
to run until fan switch on thermostat is turned off.
During continuous fan operation with no call for heating Or
cooling, LED indicates a steady flash, the same indication seen
when system is in standby.
The call for continuous fan operation signal can be checked by
placing voltmeter leads across terminals G and C of control’s
low-voltagc terminal strip. If 24v is not seen across these termi
nals, check for the following:
’ Is 24v ayailable across R and C? If not, refer to Ready-To-
Start section for items to check if 24v is not available,
■ Is thermostat function switch set for continuous operation?
Confirm fan operation. Voltage to operate fan can be confirmed by
placing.voltmeter leads across terminals FI and Ш on control. The
reading should be 20S/230vi If 20S/230v is not observed, check the
following:
* Is 20S/23ÜV available at pins 7 and 9 of 9-pin connector? Is
connection to board tight?
' Arc line voltage fuses FUl and FU2 good?
If 20&/230V is available across terminals FI and HI and fan does
not operate, check the following:
* Is fan motor capacitor good?
‘ Is blower wheel jammed or loose? Are there any other
mechanical problems preventing fan operation?
C. Cooling
On a call for cooling, room thennostat provides input signals to
control board at terminals Y and O'.' Thc О signal is also available
to heat pump to energize reversing valve.
When it receives both these signals, the microprocessor responds
by providing a 24-v output signal at the terminal. This output
signal energizes contactor in heat pump and starts compressor.
There is a 3 to 5 sec delay in output of signal.
At the same time, control energizes fan coil's fan motor on high
Speed through terminals FI and HI, The LED indicator on control
signals 5 flashes, indicating cooling operation.
The call for cooling signals can be confirmed by placing voltmeter
leads across low-voltage terminals Yl 0, and' C, The reading
should be 24v. If 24v is not available, check the following:
* Is 24v available across R and C? See Ready-To-Start section
for items to check if 24v is not available.
* Is thermostat function switch set in COOL position with
thermostat calling for cooling?
Assuming heat pump has power and is adequately charged, it
should be running at this time in cooling mode. Indoor fan should
also be running at this time. If indoor fan is not running, refer to
Continuous Fan section for items to check.
D. Heating (Compressor Only)
On a call for heat, room thermostat provides an input signal to
control board at terminal Y. This signal causes the microprocessor
to provide a 24-v output signal at terminal to energize contactor
in heat pump. There is a 3 to 5 sec delay in output of Y,, signal.

Thirty Sec after Y is energized, control energizes fan motor. It may
run on high or low speedy depending on its operation in previous
cycle.
Compressor operation in current cycle is monitored by the smart
control to determine whether a fan speed change is required for
enhanced indoor comfort. The LED indicator on control signals 1
flash, indicating compressor operation only with no ejegtric heat.
The call for heat signals can be confirmed by placing voltmeter
leads across dow-‘voltag6 terminals Y, and C; The readings
should be 24v, -If 24v is not available, eheck the following:
■ Is 24v available across R and'C? See Rcady-To-Start section
for items to chedk if 24v is not available.
* Is thermostat function switch set in HEAT position with
theimostat calling for heat?
Assuming heat pump has power and is adequately charged, it
should be running at this time in heating mode. Indoor fan should
also be running at this time. H indoor fan is not mnniog, refer to ,
Continuous Ran section for items to check- When room thermostat
is satisfied, indoor fan continues to run an additional 60 sec to
recover heat remaining in indoor coil.
E. Heating (Compressor end Electric Heat)
If heat pump alone cannot satisfy heat requirements of structure,
room thermostat calls for additional heat by way of an input to W2
terminal of control. When this occurs, control begins sequencing
on electric heaters by energizing the first sequencer. Indoor fan
should be running at this time.
If room temperature requirements cannot be met, additional stages
of electric heat are energized through the other 2 sequencers, at 2.
The logic of control determines how much and bow soon these
additional stages are brought on. By observing LED status light,
the number of operating stages of electric heat can be determined.
The control also varies indoor fan speed depending on number of
energized stages of heat. In general, the more stages of electric
heat, the higher the fan speed.

There is no hard and fast rule for detennining exactly when stages
will be energized since microprocessor in the smart control
constantly monitors duration of previous heating cycle, setting of
room thermostat, and number of stages of heat needed in previous
cycle to satisfy room thcmiostat. Rather than try to determine what
should be operating when, service technicians should check LED
status light to see how many stages of electric heat are energJKfid
at a given time and confirm operation of sequencer using a
voltmeter. If a quick check of all stages is desired, set room
thermostat as high as it will go. With a constant signal on W2T
terminal, sequencers energize every 10 minutes until all heaters are
on.
The previous paragraphs described how to' check for low-voltage
inputs to control by placing voltmeter leads across low-voltage
terminal strip and checking for 24v, The call for electric heat can
be confirmed by placing voltmeter leads across W2T and C.
To check for operation of" sequencers, check' directly across
appropriate sequencer coil for 24 volts DC,
NOTE: All sequencer coils are powered by 24 volts DC. This
voltage is generated internally by the smart control.
In this example, sequencer 1 is being checked. The procedure is
the same for all other sequencers. If 24 volts DC is not observed,
check the following;
* Is room thermostat calling for electric heat? This can be
confirmed by checking for 24 volts AC between low-voltage
terminal strip terminals W2T and C-
* Is LED flashing appropriate code for number of sequencers
energized? In this example, 2 flashes should be visible,
indicating 1 sequencer is energized. Indicator tells how many
sequencers are energized, but docs not tell which ones are.
' Is 9-pin connector for heater package tightly secured to
control board?

R Checking Sequencer Operation
To check for operation of power circuit of ¡sequencer, place
voltmstsr leads across sequencer teroiinal 1 of sequencer 1 and
terminal 4 of limit switch 3. The reading should be 208/230v, and
heater should be energized.
If 20S/230v is not observed at teritiinals specified, check the
following:
• Are fuses FU3 and FU4 good?
* Is limit switch LS3 Open? If so, check fan coil air filter or air
distribution system for blocking or restriction that might
reduce airflow pud cause limit switch to open.
Operation of heaters can be confirmed^fiiither by using a clamp-on
ammeter in circuit shown to verify current is flowing through
heaters. Amperage readings will depend, on size of heater. The
procedure fOr checking other sequencers in system is identical to
that just described,
G. Emergency Heat
Emergency heat mode requires that room thermostat be placed in
EMERGENCY HEAT position. This locks, out and prevents
operation of heat pump outdoor unit. In tlits mode, heat is provided
exclusively by electrical heaters in fan qoil.
In this mode, room thermostat, at 1, provides'an enaergency heat
input signal to smart cdntrol at teiminaj WZT, If jumper JWl, at 2,
has not been cut and an outdoor .thermostat installed to control
electric heat stages, that samc input signal is applied to tcmiinakJ>
W3. For this example, assume that jumper JWl has not been cut-
Evcntually, the total number of heaters is cycled on. In emergency
heat mode, LED iijdicator signals 7 flashes.
The amount of emergency heat available depends on whether
jumper JWl is cut and the nupiber of heatiji^ elements. Table 10 illustrates results under various conditions. The heaters cycle on
every 5 minutes until maximum level is reached.

H. Defrost
In defrost mode, LED indicator signals 6 flashes. Defrost is
initiated by heat pump and is signalled to smart control by an input
to W2D terminal During defrost, outdoor unit switches to cooling
mode, making it necessary to cycle on electric heaters to temper
indoor air.
If electric heaters were not energized prior to defrost, smart control
energizes ’sufficient elements to temper air. If heaters were
energized prior‘to defrost, additional heaters may ОГ may not be
cycled on to provide additional heat-
Л defrost initiation signal can be confirmed by attaching voltmeter
leads ac/oss low-vcjltage terminals W2D and C. If 24v is not
observed, check the following;
* Is 24v available across R and C? See Ready-To-Start section
for items to check if 24v is not available,
* Is there continuity in thermostat leads between heat pump
and smart control?
* Is defrost control in heat pump operating properly?
