• Low-Voltage Monitor (available in software revision A15 or newer).

This manual provides all necessary information for proper installation and operation of the Passport I/O. Poor installation or misunderstood operating parameters will result in unsatisfactory performance and possible failure.

DESCRIPTION OF CONTROL

See Figure 1 and Table 1 on page 3 to identify all parts of the control.

POWER

Press the Power button once to engage the system. The display is blank when the system is off and indicates current room temperature when the system is on.

SET POINT

Press the Up or Down button to set the desired room temperature. To view the set point, momentarily press and release the Up or Down button.

FAN

Fan-speed operation is automatic, allowing fan speed to decrease as set-point temperature is approached in the Cool Mode. The fan operates at low speed when set point is satisfied.

Normally the automatic fan speed operation is reversed in the Heating Mode, however, you can program the fan to operate the same as in the Cooling Mode.

Compact model

Legacy model

Press the Fan button to select manual fan speeds if you want to override automatic operation. You can program the fan to run only during a cool or heat cycle, otherwise the fan runs constantly.

MEMORY

The Passport I/O has nonvolatile memory requiring no batteries or backup power. When power is lost, the operating parameters are retained indefinitely. When power is restored, the control resumes operating as last programmed.

IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING NOTES TO INSTALLER AND END USER

1. If your air conditioning unit is Cool Only (if it does not have a reversing valve), then you MUST program Cool Only Mode into parameter P-1 (factory default is Automatic Mode). DO NOT program Automatic Mode for a Cool Only unit. If Automatic Mode is selected and the thermostat calls for heat, the compressor will run. Since there is no reversing valve, the air conditioning unit will supply cool air when heating is desired. Cool Only units do not heat. See “P-1: Operating Mode” on page 9 for more information on how to set the proper operating mode.

2. If your air conditioning unit has a Shaded-Pole (SP) fan motor instead of a Split -Ca pacitor (SC) High-Velocity (HV) fan motor, you MUST program “SP” into parameter P-16 before operating the equipment. The SP units are recognizable by an overhanging blower motor. (The SC motor of an HV unit is inside the blower, and the unit has “VTD” or “HV” in the model number.) Only reprogram this parameter if you do NOT have an HV blower.

3. When powering on the control, press and immediately release the Power button so you do not unintentionally enter Program Mode. You will enter Program Mode if the Power button is pressed and held for more than 5 seconds. If you enter Program Mode unintentionally, any subsequent presses of the Up or Down buttons will change the P-1 parameter setting since it is the first parameter shown after entering this mode. This will change the operating mode to Cool Only, Heat Only, or Auto matic, which could result in improper system operation. Always use care when in Program Mode. For further information, refer to “Using Program Mode” on page 7.

NORMAL HEATING OR COOLING CYCLE

In Automatic Mode, heating and cooling are supplied as required. Based on the set point, Automatic operation maintains a 2°F (1.1°C) temperature variation. If a 4° F (2.2° C) change in temperature occurs, the unit to shifts to the opposite mode. Once in Heat Mode or Cool Mode, the control maintains a 2°F (1.1°C) differential.

If you program Cool Mode, only cooling is supplied. The cabin temperature is maintained within 2°F (1.1°C) of set point. If you program Heat Mode, only heating is supplied. The cabin temperature is maintained within 2°F (1.1°C) of set point. When the heating or cooling set point is satisfied, the compressor cycles off and the fan returns to low speed. The fan speed remains constant if Manual Fan Speed is selected.

For more programming information on this feature, see “P-1: Operating Mode” on page 9.

REVERSING-VALVE OPERATION

The position of the reversing valve determines if the system is in Cool Mode or Heat Mode. In addition, the reversing valve is programmed to toggle in these situations:

• When the system is running and heating or cooling is required, the reversing valve toggles to the opposite mode to reduce the starting surge of the compressor.

• When a cooling or heating cycle is called for and if the system has been off for less than 75 seconds.

• When a cycle is interrupted from the display panel by pressing the Power button or changing the set point.

Unnecessary valve toggling is limited to reduce reversing-valve noise. You can totally eliminate valve toggling by programming the minimum compressor staging delay to 75 seconds or greater (see “P-4: Compressor Staging Time Delay” on page 10 for more information).

Power-On Reset, which occurs when the system is powered up, always initiates a valve toggle.

Choosing the Location Passport I/O Control Operations Manual

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY PANEL

CHOOSING THE LOCATION

Before mounting the control panel, consider the location. The display panel’s built-in air sensor provides excellent room-air temperature sensing when properly located and installed. For air-sensor location see item 6 in Figure 1, page 2.

Mount the display panel on an inside wall, slightly higher than mid-height of the cabin, in a location with freely circulating air where it can best sense average temperature. Its distance from the air conditioner must be within the 15’ (4.5m) length of the display cable (custom lengths available).

Do not mount the display in direct sunlight, near any heat-producing appliances or in a bulkhead where temperatures radiating from behind the panel may affect performance. Do not mount the display in the supply-air stream. Do not mount the display above or below a supply-air or return-air grille. Do not mount the display behind a door, in a corner, under a stairwell or any place where there is no freely circulating air.

If you can not mount the display in a suitable location for accurately sensing room temperature, install the optional remote air sensor.

MOUNTING THE DISPLAY

1. Make the cut-out for the display panel.

• For Compact - Cut-out size is 2.4" (61mm) wide by 1.8" (46mm) high .

• For legacy model - Cut-out size is 3.375" (86mm) wide by 2.875" (73mm) high.

2. Plug one end of the display cable (8-pin connector) into the upper-right socket on the circuit board in the electric box and the other end into the back of the display panel.

3. Clean the mounting surface with isopropyl alcohol only (test alcohol on hidden portion of surface first), then secure the display panel to a bulkhead with the adhesive strips provided. If the adhesive strips cannot be used directly on the bulkhead, use the plastic bulkhead adapter. The bulkhead adapter (sold separately) mounts to the bulkhead with screws and the display panel is secured to the adapter with adhesive strips. Do not use a screw gun and do not overtighten screws when mounting adapter.

MOUNTING THE OPTIONAL SENSORS

NOTE

Do not staple any sensor cables when mounting.

REMOTE AIR SENSOR

Install the optional remote air sensor if the display can not be mounted in a proper location for accurately sensing room temperature. Installing the remote air sensor overrides the display’s built-in sensor. The standard cable length for the remote air sensor is 7 feet (2.1m).

1. Mount the remote air sensor in the return-air stream behind the opening of the return-air grille.

2. Plug its cable (6-pin connector) into the “ALT AIR” socket #J4 in the upper-left corner of the circuit board.

OUTSIDE-AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Install the optional outside-air temperature sensor to monitor the temperature outside the cabin. Outside-air sensor cables are available in various lengths.

1. Mount the sensor outside but not in direct sunlight.

2. Plug its cable into the “OAT” socket #J3.

SERVICE SENSOR

Install the optional condenser coil temperature sensor into the “SERVICE/H2O” socket #J5. Use of this sensor must be enabled via program parameter P-9, the Pump Sentry feature. See “P-9: Optional Pump Sentry” on page 9 for details.
