The CoreSense™ Protection module is a single-pole
contactor designed for aftermarket use in residential
air conditioning and heat pump applications utilizing
Copeland Scroll™ compressors. CoreSense Protection
modules combine the functionality of a standard system
contactor with compressor diagnostic and protection
capabilities. Through built-in CoreSense technology,
this device will shut down the compressor when critical
system faults are detected. CoreSense Protection
modules maintain the same wiring conguration as a
standard contactor and are easily installed in the unit
electrical panel. By using the compressor as a sensor,
the onboard diagnostics helps the service technician
more accurately troubleshoot system and compressor
fault conditions. Flashing LEDs communicate ALERT
and LOCK codes to the service technician. CoreSense
Protection modules feature advanced switching
technology, extending contact life 4 to 5 times over
a standard contactor. The sealed relay helps prevent
contact arcing, pitting, and traditional problems with
rodents, insects and debris.
Precautions
• Installation should be done by a qualied heating and
air conditioning contractor or licensed electrician.
• The CoreSense Protection module FLA and LRA
ratings must be equal to or greater than the FLA and
LRA ratings of the contactor being replaced.
• All wiring must conform to local and national
electrical codes and ordinances.
• This control is a precision instrument and should

be handled carefully. Rough handling or distorting
components could cause the control to malfunction.
• Follow manufacturer’s recommended installation/
service instructions to ensure proper operation.
• The CoreSense Protection module has no
serviceable parts.
Failure to comply with the following warning could result
Copeland Scroll non-modulating and UltraTech™
compressors. The CoreSense Protection module is
not designed for use with Copeland™ reciprocating or
Copeland Scroll variable speed compressors.
Mounting/Installation
To comply with U.L. 1995 section 33.2, the high
voltage connections (L1, L2, T1, and T2) must be at
least 1/2" from any grounded metal part.
1. Disconnect and lockout the power supply.
2. Before removing the wires from the existing
contactor, label all of the wires so they can be
connected to the correct connections on the
CoreSense Protection module. After the wires
are labeled and disconnected, remove the
existing contactor.
3. The CoreSense Protection module is mounted
using four mounting holes. See Figure 1 for
mounting hole locations.
4. Using No. 8 or 10 self tapping screws, mount
the CoreSense Protection module in place of the
existing contactor. Use caution when drilling holes
or using self tapping screws.
5. Connect the line, load, and control voltage
wiring to the CoreSense Protection module. The
CoreSense Protection module is polarized,
meaning that the high voltage input must
be connected to the L1-L2 connections.
When connecting 24VAC control voltage to
the module, be sure to use a fully insulated
spade end to minimize the possibility of short
circuiting between A1 & A2 terminals. Refer
to a typical wiring diagram in Figure 3.
a. T1 and T2 are both screw and ¼ spade
connections.
b. L1 and L2 are lug connections. Please see
specifications for recommended torque
values.
c. A1 and A2 are 1/4 spade connections.
One fully insulated spade quick disconnect
supplied with each CoreSense Protection
module. (Wire gauge 14-16 AWG)

Operation
How It Works
The CoreSense Protection module can be used to
replace a single-pole contactor. It requires a 24 VAC
signal to engage a long life relay to energize the
compressor and fan. When demand is satised, the
module will de-energize and the compressor and fan
will shut down.
Protection Capabilities
The CoreSense Protection module utilizes proprietary
algorithms to protect the compressor and system from
repeated trips of the compressor internal overload. When
the module detects a pattern of repetitive overload trips,
as described in Table 1, it will activate a lockout feature
to not energize the compressor.
Functional Test
A compressor activation, or 'Test' button, is located
on the top of the module. This button can be used to
start the compressor and fan and verify operation. This
button is an immediate On/Off switch. It will immediately
energize the module when pressed, and will immediately
de-energize when released.
LED Description
RUN/ALERT LED
A solid green LED indicates the module is powered
and the compressor/system is running normally.
Abnormal system conditions are indicated through
a unique green ash code. The green LED will ash
consecutively, pause, and then repeat. The number
of consecutive ashes is dened as the ash code.
See Table 1 for a description of alert codes.
TRIP/LOCK LED
A solid red LED indicates the compressor's internal
overload is open. The CoreSense Protection module
detects a demand signal, however no current to the
compressor is detected by the module.
The red LED will ash consecutively, pause and then
repeat when the compressor lockout feature is active.
The number of consecutive ashes, dened as the
ash code, describes a particular lockout code. See
Table 1 for a description of lockout codes.
Resetting And Clearing Alert/Lock Codes
Alert and Lock codes are recorded as events in the
memory of CoreSense Protection and the respective
code will be displayed via the green and red LEDs until
the faults are reset and cleared. To reset and clear Alert/
Lock codes, the high voltage must be cycled off/on to
the L1-L2 CoreSense Protection connections. Alert/Lock
codes will not be reset when the 24 VAC is cycled off/
on to the CoreSense Protection module.
