Start-Up
[]NIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in minor personal
injury, equipment damage or improper operation. Observe the following:
1. Do not overcharge system with refrigerant.
2. Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative pressure.
3. Do not disable low pressure switch
4. Dome temperatures may be hot.
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in personal iniury.
Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and gloves when handling refrigerant.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD Failure to follow this caution may result in environmental
damage. Federal regulations require that you do not vent
refrigerant to the atmosphere. Recover during system repair or final unit disposal.
Follow these steps to properly start up the system:
1. After system is evacuated, fully back seat (open) liquid and vapor service valves.
2. Unit is shipped with valve stem(s) front seated (closed) and caps installed. Replace stem caps after system is opened to
refrigerant flow (back seated). Replace caps finger-tight and tighten with wrench an additional 1/12 turn.
3. Close electrical disconnects to energize system.
4. Set room thermostat or User Interface at desired temperat- ure. Be sure set point is below indoor ambient temperature
and is set low enough to energize desired stage.
5. Set room thermostat or User Interface to COOL and fan control to ON or AUTO mode, as desired. Operate unit for 15 minutes. Check system refrigerant charge.
NOTE: Non-conmmnicating (non-Infinity) Carrier thermostats are equipped with a 15-minute staging timer. This timer prevents
the two-stage system from operating at high stage until unit has been operating in low stage for 15 minutes, unless there is at least a
-5°F (-2.8°C) difference between room temperature and thermostat set point. To force high stage (after a minimum of 2 minutes in low stage), adjust the set point at least -5°F (-2.8°C) below room
ambient.
6. Set room thermostat or User Interface to HEAT or COOL and fan control to AUTO or ON, as desired. Wait for appro-
priate time delay(s). Operate unit for 15 minutes. Check re- frigerant charge.
System Functions and Sequence of Operation
The outdoor unit control system has special functions. The following is an overview of the two-stage control functions:
Cooling and Heating Operation
The 25HNA6 and 25HNA9 (containing circuit board HK38EA015 or newer) models utilize either a standard indoor thermostat or
Infinity Conmmnication User Interface. With a call for first stage cooling, the outdoor fan, reversing valve, and low stage compressor are energized. If low-stage cannot satisfy cooling
demand, high-stage cooling is energized by the second stage of indoor thermostat or User Interface. After second stage is satisfied,
the unit returns to low-stage operation until first stage is satisfied or until second stage is required again. When both first stage and
second stage cooling are satisfied, the compressor will shut off. The reversing valve will remain energized until the control board power is removed or a call for heating in initiated. With a call for heating,
the outdoor fan and compressor are energized. The compressor will operate in high or low stage operation, as needed to meet the
heating demand. When the heating demand is satisfied, the compressor and fan will shut off. The reversing valve is de-energized in the heating mode.
NOTE: When two-stage unit is operating at low-stage, system vapor (suction) pressure will be higher than a standard single-stage
system or high-stage operation. NOTE: Outdoor fan motor will continue to operate for one
minute after compressor shuts off, when outdoor ambient is greater than or equal to 100°F. This reduces pressure differential for easier starting on next cycle.
NOTE: On 25HNA6 models, if unit has not operated within the past 12 hours, or following a unit power-up, upon the next thermostat high- or low-stage demand, unit operates for a minimum of 5 minutes in high-stage.
With non-communicating (non-Infinity) systems, with first stage of cooling, YI and O are powered on; and with second stage of
cooling, YI, Y2, and O are on. For these systems, with first stage of heating YI is on and for second stage of heating, YI and Y2 are
on. When the reversing valve is energized, O is powered on.
Communication and Status Function Lights
For Infinity Control only, Green communications (COMM) Light
A green LED (COMM light) on the outdoor board (see Fig. 6)
indicates successful communication with the other system products. The green LED will remain OFF until conmmnication is
established. Once a valid command is received, the green LED will turn ON continuously. If no conmmnication is received within 2 minutes, the LED will be turned OFF until the next valid
communication. Amber Status Light
An amber colored STATUS light is used to display the operation mode and fault codes as specified in the troubleshooting section.
See Table 6 for codes and definitions.
NOTE: Only one code will be displayed on the outdoor unit control board (the most recent, with the highest priority).
Utility Interface
With Infinity Control The utility curtailment relay should be wired between R and Y2
connections on the control board for Infinity Communicating
Systems only (see Fig. 6.) This input allows a power utility device
to interrupt compressor operation during peak load periods. When the utility sends a signal to shut the system down, the User
Interface will display, :'Curtailment Active".

One Minute Stage Change Time Delay on 25HNA6 Models
When compressor changes stages from high to low or low to high, there is a l-minute time delay before compressor restarts. The outdoor fan motor remains running.
Compressor Operation on 25HNA6 Models When the compressor operates in high stage operation, the
compressor motor rotates clockwise. Both the lower and upper pistons are eccentric with the rotating crankshaft and both
compress refrigerant. When the compressor operates in low stage operation, the
compressor motor reverses direction (rotates counterclockwise). The lower piston becomes idle and the upper piston compresses refrigerant. The start and run windings are reversed.
Crankcase Heater Operation
The crankcase heater is energized during unit off cycle regardless of outside air temperature (OAT) on 25HNA6 models.
The crankcase heater is energized during off cycle below 65°F
o ?
(18.33 C) on _5HNA9 models.
Outdoor Fan Motor Operation
The outdoor unit control energizes outdoor fan anytime compressor is operating, except for defrost or low-ambient
cooling. The outdoor fan remains energized if a pressure switch or compressor overload should open. Outdoor fan motor will
continue to operate for one minute after the compressor shuts off when the outdoor ambient is greater than or equal to 100°F
(37.78°C). This reduces pressure differential for easier starting on next cycle. On 25HNA6 models, the outdoor fan remains energized during the l-minute compressor staging time delay.
On 25HNA6 models, the outdoor fan motor is a PSC type. A fan relay on the control board turns the fan off and on by opening and
closing a high voltage circuit to the motor. It does not change speeds between low and high stage operation.
On 25HNA9 models, the outdoor fan is an ECM type. The motor control is continuously powered with high voltage. The motor
speed is determined by electrical pulses provided by the PWM outputs on the control board. The ECM motor RPM adjusts to
outdoor conditions as described in Table 3. The PWM output can be measured between the PWMI and PWM2 terminals on the
circuit board with a volt meter set to DC volts. In low ambient cooling (below 55°F/12.78°C) on 25HNA6 and
25HNA9 models, the control board cycles the fan off and on.

Time Delays The unit time delays include:
Five minute time delay to start cooling or heating operation when there is a call from the thermostat or user interface. To
bypass this feature, momentarily short and release Forced
Defrost pins.
Five minute compressor re-cycle delay on return from a brown-out condition.
Two minute time delay to return to standby operation from
last valid communication (with Infinity only).
One minute time delay of outdoor fan at termination of
cooling mode when outdoor ambient is greater than or equal to 100°F (37.78°C).
Fifteen second delay at termination of defrost before the
auxiliary heat (Wl) is de-energized.
Twenty second delay at termination of defrost before the
outdoor fan is energized (unless fan delay defeated).
Thirty second compressor delay when quiet shift enabled.
On 25HNA6 models there is a 1 minute time delay between
staging from low to high and from high to low capacity. On 25HNA9 models there is no delay; the compressor will
change from low to high and from high to low capacity "on
the fly" to meet the demand.
Compressor Operation on 25HNA9 Models:
The basic scroll design has been modified with the addition of an internal unloading mechanism that opens a by-pass port in the first
compression pocket, effectively reducing the displacement of the scroll. The opening and closing of the by-pass port is controlled
by an internal electrically operated solenoid. The modulated scroll uses a single step of unloading to go from full capacity to
approximately 67% capacity.
A single speed, high efficiency motor continues to run while the scroll modulates between the two capacity steps. Modulation is
achieved by venting a portion of the gas in the first suction pocket
back to the low side of the compressor, thereby reducing the effective displacement of the compressor.
Full capacity is achieved by blocking these vents, thus increasing the displacement to 100%. A DC solenoid in the compressor
controlled by a rectified 24 volt AC signal in the external solenoid plug moves the slider ring that covers and uncovers these vents.
The vent covers are arranged in such a manner that the compressor operates at approximately 67% capacity when the solenoid is not energized and 100% capacity when the solenoid is energized. The
loading and unloading of the two step scroll is done "on the fly" without shutting off the motor between steps.
NOTE: 67% compressor capacity translates to approximately 75% cooling or heating capacity at the indoor coil.
The compressor will always start unloaded and stay unloaded for five seconds even when the thermostat is calling for high stage
capacity.

GENERAL INFORMATION Low Ambient Cooling
When this unit is operating below 55°F (12.78°C) outdoor temperature, provisions must be made for low ambient operation.
Infinity Controlled low ambient cooling: This unit is capable of low ambient cooling without a kit ONLY
when using Infinity control. A low ambient kit is not required, and the outdoor fan motor does not need to be replaced for Infinity controlled low ambient operation. The Infinity Control provides an
automatic evaporator coil freeze protection algorithm that eliminates the need for an evaporator freeze thermostat. Low
ambient cooling must be enabled in the User Interface set up. Fan may not begin to cycle until about 40°F (4.4°C) OAT. Fan will
cycle based on coil and outdoor air temperature. Infinity controlled low ambient mode operates as follows:
Fan is OFF when outdoor coil temp is < (outdoor air temperature + 3 ° F / 1.7° C) or outdoor fan has been ON for 30 minutes. (Fan is turned off to allow refrigerant system to stabilize.)
Fan is ON when outdoor coil temp > (outdoor air temperature + 25°F / 13.9°C) or outdoor coil temp > 80°F/26.7°C or if outdoor fan has been OFF for 30 minutes. (Fan is turned on to allow refrigerant system to stabilize.)
Low pressure switch is ignored for first 3 minutes during low ambient start up. After 3 minutes, ifLPS trips, then outdoor fan motor is turned offfor 10 minutes, with the compressor running. IfLPS closes within 10 minutes then cooling continues with the outdoor fan cycling per the coil temperature routine listed above for the remainder of the cooling cycle. If the LPS does not close within 10 minutes, then the normal LPS trip response (shut
down cooling operation and generate LPS trip error) will occur.
For 25HNA9 models, the PWM output for both high and low stage equals the value for low stage operation below 55°F (12.8°C).

Defrost This control offers 5 possible defrost interval times: 30, 60, 90, 120
nfinutes, or AUTO. These are selected by dip switches on the unit control board or by
the Infinity Control User Interface. The Infinity Control selection overrides the control board dip switch settings.
AUTO defrost adjusts the defrost interval time based on the last defrost time as follows:
When defrost time <3 minutes, the next defrost interval=120 minutes.
When defrost time 3-5 minutes, the next defrost interval=90 minutes.
When defrost time 5-7 minutes, the next defrost interval=60 minutes.
When defrost time >7 minutes, the next defrost interval=30 minutes.
The control board accumulates compressor run time. As the
accumulated run time approaches the selected defrost interval time,
the control board monitors the coil temperature sensor for a defrost demand. If a defrost demand exists, a defrost cycle will be initiated
at the end of the selected time interval. A defrost demand exists
when the coil temperature is at or below 32°F (0°C) for 4 nfinutes during the interval.
The defrost cycle is ternfinated when the coil temperature reaches
65°F (18.33°C)or 10 nfinutes has passed. On 25HNA6 models, defrost will occur in low- or high-stage as
demanded by the thermostat or User Interface regardless of OAT
On 25HNA9 models, when OAT is >25°F (-3.9°C), defrost will
occur in low- or high-stage as demanded by the thermostat or User Interface.
On 25HNA9 models, if OAT is _<25°F (-3.9°C), defrost will
occur in high-stage only, regardless of thermostat or User Interface demand, and will ternfinate at 50°F (10°C) coil temperature with a
minimum of 2.5 nfinutes in defrost. If the coil temperature does not reach 32°F (0°C) within the
interval, the interval timer will be reset and start over.
Upon initial power up the first defrost interval is defaulted to 30 minutes. Remaining intervals are at selected times.
Defrost is only allowed to occur below 50 °F (10 ° C)outdoor ambient temperature.

Defrost Hold
In a non-communicating system, if the thermostat becomes satisfied (Y1 or Y1 and Y2) before the defrost cycle is terminated,
the control will "hold" in defrost mode and finish the defrost cycle on the next call for heat.
On 25HNA6 and 25HNA9 models, with communicating Infinity Control, defrost hold is not needed in a communicating system
because the User Interface will complete the defrost cycle before shutting down the system.
Forced Defrost
With non-communicating (non-Infinity) control, forced defrost can be initiated by manually shorting the 2-pin header labeled
FORCED DEFROST (see Fig 6) on the control board for 5 seconds then releasing.
On 25HNA6 and 25HNA9 with communicating (Infinity) control, forced defrost is initiated with the User Interface.
On all models, during a Forced Defrost:
If coil temperature is at defrost temperature of32°F (0°C), and outdoor air temperature is below 50°F (10° C), a full defrost sequence will occur.
If coil temperature or outdoor air temperature does not meet the above requirements, an abbreviated 30 second defrost will
occur.
Quiet Shift
Quiet Shift is a field-selectable defrost mode which may eliminate occasional noise that could be heard at the start of the defrost cycle
and restarting of the heating cycle. With a non-communicating system, this feature must be enabled by selecting the 3rd position
of the 3-position dip switch. For 25HNA6 and 25HNA9 models with communicating (Infinity) systems, it must be enabled at the User Interface. When activated, the following sequence of
operation will occur. Reversing valve will energize and compressor will turn off for 30 seconds, then turn back on to
complete defrost. At the end of the defrost cycle, the reversing valve de-energizes, compressor will turn off for another 30 seconds, and the fan will turn off for 40 seconds, before starting in
the heating mode. Liquid-Line Solenoid Accessory
In heat pump long-line applications, a liquid-line solenoid is required to control refrigerant migration in the heating mode. The
solenoid should be installed near the outdoor unit with the arrow facing the outdoor unit. This is the direction of flow control. See
application manual for long-line application details.
Accessory Liquid Solenoid with Infinity Communicating
Control: When using the Infinity Control, the liquid-line solenoid
output is provided at the Y1 connection. Connect the solenoid as shown in the wiring label diagram. This is a 24vac output that is
energized whenever the compressor is energized. It closes, in the compressor off mode, to prevent refrigerant migration into the unit
through the liquid-line.
On Models with Accessory Liquid Solenoid Using a
Non-Communicating Thermostat: The liquid solenoid is connect to the Y1 and C terminal connections. The liquid solenoid
closes, in the compressor off mode, to prevent refrigerant migration into the unit through the liquid-line.
Check Charge
All 25HNA6 units must be charged in high stage only. Factory charge amount and desired subcooling are shown on unit
rating plate. Charging method is shown on information plate inside unit. To properly check or adjust charge, conditions must be
favorable for subcooling charging. Favorable conditions exist when the outdoor temperature is between 70°F and 100°F
(21.11°C and 37.78°C), and the indoor temperature is between 70°F and 80°F (21.11°C and 26.67°C). Follow the procedure
below: Unit is factory charged for 15ft (4.57 m) of lineset. Adjust charge
by adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft of 3/8 liquid line above or below
15ft (4.57 m) respectively.
For standard refrigerant line lengths (80 ft/24.38 m or less), allow system to operate in cooling mode at least 15 minutes. If conditions
are favorable, check system charge by subcooling method. If any
adjustment is necessary, adjust charge slowly and allow system to operate for 15 minutes to stabilize before declaring a properly charged system.
If the indoor temperature is above 80°F (26.67°C), and the outdoor temperature is in the favorable range, adjust system charge by weight based on line length and allow the indoor temperature to
drop to 80°F (26.67°C) before attempting to check system charge by subcooling method as described above.
If the indoor temperature is below 70°F (21.11°C), or the outdoor temperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line set
length above or below 15fl (4.57 m) only. Charge level should then be appropriate for the system to achieve rated capacity. The charge
level could then be checked at another time when the both indoor
and outdoor temperatures are in a more favorable range. NOTE: If line length is beyond 80 fl (24.38 m) or greater than 20 fl (6.10 m) vertical separation, See Long Line Guideline for
special charging requirements.
Heating Check Chart Procedure
To check system operation during heating cycle, refer to the Heat Pump Charging Instructions label on outdoor unit. This chart
indicates whether a correct relationship exists between system operating pressure and air temperature entering indoor and outdoor
units. If pressure and temperature do not match on chart, system refrigerant charge may not be correct. Do not use chart to adjust
refrigerant charge. NOTE: In heating mode, check refrigerant charge only when
pressures are stable. If in doubt, remove charge and weigh in correct refrigerant charge.
NOTE: When charging is necessary during heating season, charge must be weighed in accordance with unit rating plate, ---0.6 oz./ft. of 3/8-in. liquid-line above or below 15 ft., respectively.
EXAMPLE: To calculate additional charge required for a 25-fl. line set:
25 ft. - 15 ft. = 10 ft. X 0.6 oz./ft. = 6 oz. of additional charge.

MAJOR COMPONENTS 2-Stage Control Board
The HP control board controls the following functions:
High and low stage compressor contactor operation
Outdoor fan motor operation
Reversing valve operation
Defrost operation
Low ambient cooling
Crankcase heater operation
Compressor external protection
Pressure switch monitoring
Time Delays
On 25HNA6 models, high- and low-stage start relay and
capacitor operation (Bristol compressor only)
Field Connections
On models with non-communicating (non-Infinity) system, the two-stage control receives 24vac low-voltage control system inputs through the R, C, Y1, Y2 and O connections located at the
bottom of the control board (see Fig. 6.) On a non-conmmnicating system, output W1 is connected at the bottom of the control board for auxiliary heat.
On models with communicating system, use the ABCD Infinity connections.
Two Stage Compressor The two stage compressor contains motor windings that provide
2-pole (3500 RPM) operation. For two-stage compressor, refer to Table 5 for correct winding resistance.
Compressor Internal Relief The compressor is protected by an internal pressure relief (IPR)
which relieves discharge gas into the compressor shell when differential between suction and discharge pressure exceeds
500-550 psi on 25HNA6 models and 550-625 psi on 25HNA9 models. The compressor is also protected by an internal overload
attached to motor windings. Compressor Control Contactors
The contactor(s) have a 24volt coil. The electronic control board controls the operation of the appropriate contactor.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Systems Communication Failure
If conmmnication with the Infinity control is lost with the User Interface, the control will flash the appropriate fault code. (See
Table 6.) Check the wiring to the UI and the indoor and outdoor units.

MODEL PLUG
NUMBER
The model plug is used to identify the type and size of unit to the control. On 25HNA6 models, the model plug is also used to
deternfine the start sequence tinting for each individual model.
PIN RESISTANCE
(K-ohms)
Pins 1-4 Pins 2-3
On new units, the model and serial numbers are input into the board's memory at the factory. If a model plug is lost or nfissing at
initial installation, the unit will operate according to the information input at the factory and the appropriate error code will
flash temporarily. An RCD replacement board contains no model
and serial information. If the factory control board fails, the model plug must be transferred from the original board to the replacement
board for the unit to operate. NOTE: The model plug takes priority over factory model
information input at the factory. If the model plug is removed after initial power up, the unit will operate according to the last valid model plug installed, and flash the appropriate fault code temporarily.
Pressure Switch Protection
The outdoor unit is equipped with high- and low-pressure switches. If the control senses the opening of a high- or
low-pressure switch, it will respond as follows:
1. De-energize the appropriate compressor contactor.
2. Keep the outdoor fan operating for 15 nfinutes.
3. Display the appropriate fault code (see Table 6).
4. After a 15 nfinute delay, if there is a call for cooling or heat- ing and LPS or HPS is reset, the appropriate compressor
contactor is energized.
5. If LPS or HPS has not closed after a 15 nfinute delay, the outdoor fan is turned off. If the open switch closes anytime
after the 15 nfinute delay, then resume operation with a call for cooling or heating.
6. If LPS or HPS trips 3 consecutive cycles, the unit operation is locked out for 4 hours.
7. In the event of a high-pressure switch trip or high-pressure lockout, check the refrigerant charge, outdoor fan operation,
and outdoor coil (in cooling) for airflow restrictions, or in- door airflow in heating.
8. In the event of a low-pressure switch trip or low-pressure lockout, check the refrigerant charge and indoor airflow
(cooling) and outdoor fan operation and outdoor coil in heating.
Control Fault
If the outdoor unit control board has failed, the control will flash the appropriate fault code (see Table 6). The control board should
be replaced.
Brown- Out Protection
If the line voltage is less than 187v for at least 4 seconds, the
appropriate compressor contactor and fan relay are de-energized.
Compressor and fan operation are not allowed until voltage is a nfininmm of 190v. The control will flash the appropriate fault code (see Table 6). 230v Brown-Out Protection Defeated
The brownout feature can be defeated if needed for severe noisy power conditions. This defeat should always be a last resort to
solving the problem. Defeat is available on the User Interface setup screen (available with SYSTXCCUID01-C UI) or can be
initiated through the forced defrost pins for non-communicating systems as follows:
The brownout toggle is accomplished by shorting the defrost pins from power up with the OAT and OCT sensor connector removed.
After 3 seconds, the status of the force defrost short and the
OAT/OCT as open will be checked. If correct, then the brownout will be toggled.
Status code 6 shows the brownout is disabled.
Status code 5 shows the brownout is active.
After the brownout defeat is set, power down and reinstall the
OAT/OCT sensor and remove the short from the forced defrost pins. As long as the short on the forced defrost remains, the OAT
11
Page 12
andOCTfaultswillnotbecleared.Thecodewillcontinueto be
flashed. The control is shipped with the brownout active. The change in
status is remembered until toggled to a new status. A power down/power up sequence will not reset the status. It may be
necessary to do the toggle twice to cycle to the desired state of the defeat.
230V Line (Power Disconnect) Detection
If there is no 230v at the compressor contactor(s) when the indoor
unit is powered and cooling or heating demand exists, the appropriate fault code is displayed. Verify the disconnect is closed
and 230v wiring is connected to the unit.
Compressor Voltage Sensing
The control board input terminals labeled VS, VR and L2 on 25HNA6 models and VS and L2 on 25HNA9 models (see Fig. 6)
are used to detect compressor voltage status and alert the user of potential problems. The control continuously monitors the high voltage on the run capacitor of the compressor motor. Voltage
should be present any time the compressor contactor is energized and voltage should not be present when the contactor is
de-energized.
Contactor Shorted Detection
If there is compressor voltage sensed when there is no demand for compressor operation, the contactor may be stuck closed or there
may be a wiring error. The control will flash the appropriate fault code.
25HNA6 Models - Compressor Thermal Cutout
The control senses the compressor voltage at VR and VS. When starting or running, a phase difference of the voltages on the inputs
will indicate the thermal protector is closed. If the phase difference is 5 ° or less for 10 seconds, the internal protector is open. The
control de-energizes the appropriate compressor contactor for 15 minutes, but continues to operate the outdoor fan. The control
Status LED will flash the appropriate code shown in Table 6. After 15 minutes, with a call for low or high stage cooling or heating, the
appropriate compressor contactor is energized. If the thermal protector has not re-set, the outdoor fan is turned off. If the call for
cooling or heating continues, the control will energize the compressor contactor every 15 minutes. If the thermal protector
closes, (at the next 15 minute interval check) the unit will resume operation.
If the thermal cutout trips for three consecutive cycles, then unit operation is locked out for 4 hours and the appropriate fault code is
displayed.
25HNA9 Compressor Thermal Cutout
If the control senses the compressor voltage after start-up and is then absent for 10 consecutive seconds while cooling or heating
demand exists, the thermal protector is open. The control de-energizes the compressor contactor for 15 minutes, but
continues to operate the outdoor fan. The control Status LED will flash the appropriate code shown in Table 6. After 15 minutes, with a call for low or high stage cooling or heating, the compressor
contactor is energized. If the thermal protector has not re-set, the outdoor fan is turned off. If the call for cooling or heating
continues, the control will energize the compressor contactor every 15 minutes. If the thermal protector closes, (at the next 15 minute
interval check) the unit will resume operation. If the thermal cutout trips for three consecutive cycles, then unit
operation is locked out for 4 hours and the appropriate fault code is displayed.
Low or High Contactor Open (25HNA6 models) / No 230V at Compressor Contactor (25HNA9 models)
If the compressor voltage is not sensed when the compressor should be starting, the appropriate contactor may be stuck open or
there is a wiring error. The control will flash the appropriate fault code. Check the contactor and control box wiring.
25HNA6 Models Only - Compressor Start Detection on Models with Bristol Compressors Only
In low stage, if the specified start voltage at VR terminal is not
achieved, the start relay is de-energized after 1 second and the
control will flash the appropriate fault code. In high stage, if the specified start voltage at VS terminal is not
achieved, the start relay is de-energized after 1 second and the control will flash the appropriate fault code.
If the specified start voltage is not achieved for 3 consecutive low stage starts, low stage operation is locked out for 30 minutes. If the
specified start voltage is not achieved for 3 consecutive high stage starts, high stage operation is locked out for 30 minutes. The
control will flash the appropriate fault code.
Troubleshooting 25HNA6 units for proper switching
between low & high sta_es
Check the suction and liquid pressures at the service valves.
Suction pressure should be reduced by 5-10% when switching from low to high capacity. There should be a 10-20% increase in
liquid pressure when switching from low to high capacity.
Compressor current should increase 100-250% when switching from low to high stage.
Troubleshooting 25HNA9 units for proper switching
between low & high sta_es
Check the suction pressures at the service valves. Suction pressure should be reduced by 3-10% when switching from low to high
capacity. NOTE: The liquid pressures are very similar between low and
high stage operation, so liquid pressure should not be used for troubleshooting.
Compressor current should increase 20-45% when switching from low to high stage. The compressor solenoid when energized in
high stage, should measure 24vac. When the compressor is operating in low stage the 24v DC
compressor solenoid coil is de-energized. When the compressor is operating in high stage, the 24v DC solenoid coil is energized. The
solenoid plug harness that is connected to the compressor HAS an internal rectifier that converts the 24v AC signal to 24v DC. DO
NOT INSTALL A PLUG WITHOUT AN INTERNAL RECTIFIER.
Unloader Test Procedure The unloader is the compressor internal mechanism, controlled by
the DC solenoid, that modulates between high and low stage. If it is suspected that the unloader is not working, the following
methods may be used to verify operation.
1. Operate the system and measure compressor amperage. Cycle the unloader on and off at 30 second plus intervals at the UI (from low to high stage and back to low stage). Wait
5 seconds after staging to high before taking a reading. The compressor amperage should go up or down at least 20 per-
cent.
2. If the expected result is not achieved, remove the solenoid plug from the compressor and with the unit running and the
UI calling for high stage, test the voltage output at the plug
with a DC voltmeter. The reading should be 24 volts DC.
3. If the correct DC voltage is at the control circuit molded plug, measure the compressor unloader coil resistance. The
resistance should be 32 to 60 ohms depending on com- pressor temperature. If the coil resistance is infinite, much
lower than 32 ohms, or is grounded, the compressor must
be replaced.
Temperature Thermistors
Thermistors are electronic devices which sense temperature. As the temperature increases, the resistance decreases. Thermistors are used to sense outdoor air (OAT) and coil temperature (OCT).
Refer to Fig. 7 for resistance values versus temperature.

Thermistor Sensor Comparison
The control continuously monitors and compares the outdoor air temperature sensor and outdoor coil temperature sensor to ensure proper operating conditions. The comparison is:
In cooling if the outdoor air sensor indicates ->10°F (->5.6 ° C) warmer than the coil sensor (or) the outdoor air sensor indicates ->20°F (-> 11°C) cooler than the coil sensor, the sensors are out of range.
In heating if the outdoor air sensor indicates ->35°F (->
19.4 ° C) warmer than the coil sensor (or) the outdoor air sensor indicates ->10°F (-> 5.6°C) cooler than the coil sensor, the sensors are out of range.
If the sensors are out of range, the control will flash the appropriate fault code as shown in Table 6.
The thermistor comparison is not performed during low ambient cooling or defrost operation.
Failed Thermistor Default Operation
Factory defaults have been provided in the event of failure of outdoor air thermistor (OAT) and/or outdoor coil thermistor
(OCT). If the OAT sensor should fail, low ambient cooling will not be
allowed and the one-minute outdoor fan off delay will not occur.
Defrost will be initiated based on coil temperature and time. If the OCT sensor should fail, low ambient cooling will not be
allowed. Defrost will occur at each time interval during heating
operation, but will terminate after 5 minutes. If there is a thermistor out of range error, defrost will occur at each
time interval during heating operation, but will terminate after 5 minutes.
Count the number of short and long flashes to determine the appropriate flash code. Table 6 gives possible causes and actions
related to each error.

ON. Time between flashes is 0.25 seconds, Time between short
flash and first long flash is 1.0 second, Time between code repeating is 2.5 seconds with LED OFF. EXAMPLE:
3 short flashes followed by 2 long flashes indicates a 32 code. Table 6 shows this to be low pressure switch open.
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND ACTION
Normal operation Normal operation
Normal operation Communication with User Interface lost. Check wiring to UI, indoor and
outdoor units
Control does not detect a model plug or detects an invalid model plug. Unit
will not operate without correct model plug.
High-pressure switch trip. Check refrigerant charge, outdoor fan operation
and coils for airflow restrictions.
Low-pressure switch trip. Check refrigerant charge and indoor air flow. Outdoor unit control board has failed. Control board needs to be replaced.
Line voltage < 187v for at least 4 seconds. Compressor and fan operation not allowed until voltage>__190v. Verify line voltage.
There is no 230v at the contactor when indoor unit is powered and cooling/
heating demand exists. Verify the disconnect is closed and 230v wiring is
connected to the unit.
Outdoor air sensor not reading or out of range. Ohm out sensor and check
wiring.
Coil sensor not reading or out of range. Ohm out sensor and check wiring. Improper relationship between coil sensor and outdoor air sensor. Ohm out
sensors and check wiring.
Compressor operation detected then disappears while low stage demand exists. Possible causes are internal compressor overload trip or start relay and capacitor held in circuit too long (if installed).
Compressor operation detected then disappears while high stage demand exists. Possible causes are internal compressor overload trip or start relay and capacitor held in circuit too long (if installed).
Compressor voltage sensed when no demand for compressor operation exists. Contactor may be stuck closed or there is a wiring error.
Compressor voltage not sensed when compressor should be starting. Con- tactor may be stuck open or there is a wiring error.
Specified start voltage at VR terminal was not achieved in low stage. Start
relay was de-energized after 1 second.
For 3 consecutive low stage starts, the specified start voltage at VR terminal was not achieved & start relay was de-energized. Low stage locked out for
30 minutes.
Specified start voltage at VS terminal was not achieved in high stage. Start
relay was de-energized after 1 second.
For 3 consecutive high stage starts, the specified start voltage at VS terminal was not achieved & start relay was de-energized. High stage locked out for

PURON® (R-410A) REFRIGERANT QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
6. Puron refrigerant operates at 50-70 percent higher pressures than R-22. Be sure that servicing equipment and replacement components are designed to operate with Puron refrigerant.
7. Puron refrigerant cylinders are rose colored.
8. Recovery cylinder service pressure rating must be 400 psig, DOT 4BA400 or DOT BW400.
9. Puron refrigerant systems should be charged with liquid refrigerant. Use a commercial type metering device in the manifold hose when charging into suction line with compressor operating.
10. Manifold sets should be 700 psig high side and 180 psig low side with 550 psig low-side retard.
11. Use hoses with 700 psig service pressure rating.
12. Leak detectors should be designed to detect HFC refrigerant.
13. Puron refrigerant, as with other HFCs, is only compatible with POE oils.
14. Vacuum pumps will not remove moisture from oil.
15. Do not use liquid-line filter driers with rated working pressures less than 600 psig.
16. Do not leave Puron refrigerant suction line filter driers in line longer than 72 hours.
17. Do not install a suction-line filter drier in liquid-line.
18. POE oils absorb moisture rapidly. Do not expose oil to atmosphere.
19. POE oils may cause damage to certain plastics and roofing materials.
20. Wrap all filter driers and service valves with wet cloth when brazing.
21. A factory-approved liquid-line filter drier is required on every unit.
22. Do NOT use an R-22 TXV.
23. If indoor unit is equipped with an R-22 TXV or piston metering device, it must be changed to a hard-shutoff Puron refrigerant TXV.
24. Never open system to atmosphere while it is under a vacuum.
25. When system must be opened for service, recover refrigerant, evacuate then break vacuum with dry nitrogen and replace filter driers. Evacuate to 500 microns prior to recharging.
26. Do not vent Puron refrigerant into the atmosphere.
27. Do not use capillary tube coils.
28. Observe all warnings, cautions, and bold text.
29. All indoor coils must be installed with a hard-shutoff Puron refrigerant TXV metering device.
