1. Compressor on
2. Condenser fan on
2.0 minute delay
1. Compressor start-up
2. Condenser fan start-up
If evaporator temperature
reaches 13°F, unit initiates
defrost. Defrost initiation for
RH1-AAC-W is 7°F.
1. Compressor off
2. Condenser fan off
(Note: Evaporator fan is on.)
Cycle Off (Cut-out
temperature reached)
[Minimum 2.0 minutes]
1. Compressor off
2. Condenser fan off
Evaporator temperature
reaches 40°F, defrost
terminated
1. Compressor on
2. Condenser fan on
Normal cycling continues
Note: The start circuit of the compressor is timed such that at power-up and during any
compressor off time, there will be at least a 2 minute delay before the compressor
will start. The compressor has a 2 minute minimum run time during every run
cycle. The only exception is when the overload activates and deactivates.

Note: For freezers, defrost will be initiated at power-up. To bypass initial defrost, press
and hold the up arrow button on the control module while turning on the toggle
switch. The display should read a temperature. There will be at least a 2 minute
delay before the compressor will start even if the initial defrost cycle is bypassed.
The compressor has a 2 minute minimum run time during every run cycle. The
only exception is when the overload activates and deactivates.
