Specifications subject to change without notice.
General Information
Use 18−20 solid AWG color−coded, insulated (355C minimum) wire for low voltage control wires. All wiring must be NEC Class 2 and must be separated from incoming power leads.
Installations using greater than 200 feet of low voltage wiring should consult the Evolution wall control manual for additional guidelines regarding daisy chaining wiring method and terminating resistors.
Never route control wiring in parallel to high voltage power wires when possible as electrical noise may transfer and generate nuisance fault codes. Where low voltage control and high voltage wires must cross paths, do so at perpendicular angles to eliminate transferred noise. If further communication issues exist, consider using shielded low voltage wires and only connect shielding to C terminal at end nearest indoor coil.
Use furnace transformer, fan coil transformer, or accessory transformer for control power requirement of system accessories external to the OD unit. The outdoor unit has its own transformer power.
Use No. 18 AWG or larger color−coded, insulated (35°C minimum) wire for low voltage control wires.
All wiring must be NEC Class 2 and must be separated from incoming power leads.
Use furnace transformer, fan coil transformer, or accessory transformer for control power requirement of system accessories external to the OD unit. The outdoor unit has its own transformer power.
Final Wiring Check
IMPORTANT: Check factory wiring and field wire connections to
ensure terminations are secured properly. Check wire routing to ensure wires are not in contact with tubing, sheet metal, etc. Ensure that high and low voltage is separated where possible, to minimize induced noise from VFD to communication wiring.

Step 8 — Compressor Crankcase Heater
This compressor has an internal crankcase heater. Furnish power to the unit a minimum of 24 hr before starting the unit for the first time.
Upon initial start−up of unit, status code 68 will be generated and system will operate at stage 2 for 11 minutes. This operation is important to system reliability and cannot be bypassed. Each time high voltage is removed and reapplied this behavior will be repeated.
To furnish power to heater only, set thermostat to OFF and close electrical disconnect to outdoor unit.
Power is not required to the indoor unit or Wall Control for proper operation of heater. Crankcase heater will be intelligently energized as needed between operations, even when the Wall Control or thermostat and indoor unit is not installed, as long as there is power to the outdoor unit.
Airflow Setup for Observer® Wall Control Furnace or FCM4X Fan Coil (communicating)
This system can only be installed with communicating indoor and Observer Wall Control TSTAT0201CW with Version 5.0 or higher software or newer. When using an Observer Wall Control, airflow is automatically selected based on equipment size. The user has the option of selecting Comfort, Efficiency and Max airflow for Heating and/or Cooling modes. These should be selected based on balance between the homeowner’s comfort and energy consumption expectations. See Observer Wall Control Installation Instructions for additional available adjustments.
Due to using a communicating control with the fan coil or the furnace, dip switch adjustments are not necessary. The outdoor unit configuration and the indoor airflows are determined by communicating control setup.
Airflow Setup for Non−communicating Fan Coil
The system can be installed with a standard 2−stage heat pump thermostat and FVM4X fan coil without additional accessories. Select appropriate unit size on fan coil Easy select board.
Airflow Setup for Non−communicating Furnaces

CAUTION
CAUTION
CAUTION
Step 11 — System Functions and Sequence of Operation
The CVH8, HVH8, TVH8 models utilize either Observer® Wall Control or conventional HP thermostat. When using Wall Control controls, a call for cooling will energize the outdoor fan and compressor to run at lowest cooling demand. If this does not satisfy cooling demand, the system will ramp up in stages until it satisfies the demand. After coping with the higher demand, the unit returns to lower capacity operation until the demand is satisfied or until an increase in demand. When using a conventional thermostat, the thermostat controls the staging of outdoor unit.
When all demand is satisfied, the compressor will shut off. As the unit operates at lower capacity, system vapor (suction) pressure will
428 01 5700 00 7
Specifications subject to change without notice.
be higher than it is during a standard single−stage system operation or during a higher capacity operation.
The Observer Wall Control displays the operation mode and fault codes as specified in the troubleshooting section. See Table 6 for codes and definitions.
The conventional thermostat inputs are designed to work with most indoor units. See AHRI for approved combinations. Connections are Y/Y2, Y1, O, R, W, and C. Depending on thermostat and indoor unit, the system will operate at 1 or 2 capacities in heating or cooling mode.
NOTE: Only one code will be displayed on the outdoor unit control board (the most recent, with the highest priority). The latest codes are stored and can be accessed via the Observer Wall Control.
Upon a call for cooling through the Observer Wall Control (or the Y1 and/or Y2 connections in a non−communicating system), the Application Operation Control (AOC) board (see Fig. 22) will open the EXV to the fully open position. For heating, the AOC board will open the EXV to a preset position, depending upon the conditions. Based upon the indoor space demand and the outdoor conditions, the Observer Wall Control will then request a compressor speed and outdoor fan motor speed.
If the conditions are correct for operation, the control board will allow the requested operation to begin, but if the control board determines that the conditions are not correct, the board will decide what other operation nearing that condition is acceptable. The inverter Motor Operational Control (MOC) then outputs the three−phase PWM signal and frequency that gently ramps the compressor speed up to stage 2, and then will adjust to the demanded speed. The gentle ramp−up results in no locked rotor amps to the compressor motor. The unit 0 for compressor LRA will be stamped N/A (not applicable).
During operation, the AOC monitors itself and the compressor operation along with the system pressures and temperatures. The MOC board monitors the temperature, current and operational status of the compressor, OD fan and the inverter itself. During operation, the compressor speed will be adjusted to meet the changes to the demand.
When the demand is satisfied, the inverter will ramp−down the compressor speed and stop. The EXV will step down to the completely closed position.
When the compressor stops, a 3.5 minute Time Guard period is activated which is followed by opening of the PEV valve for 150 seconds to equalize the refrigerant pressure difference between the high and low sides of the compressor. Upon equalizing the refrigerant pressure, and an additional 15 seconds of the Time Guard period, the compressor will be ready for the next operational demand.
If there is a power cycle, the Pressure Equalizer Valve (PEV) will open for 150 seconds before the compressor start−up. Opening the PEV valve returns the discharge gas directly back to the suction side of the compressor. This is done in either cooling or heating mode so that the rotary compressor will start with a very low pressure differential.
The 3.5 minute Time Guard can be bypassed by momentarily shorting the Forced Defrost pins. Only the 3.5 minute time delay can be bypassed. Because it is important for compressor reliability, the 150−second PEV delay cannot be bypassed.
Crankcase Heater Operation
This unit has an internal crankcase heater that will be energized during the off cycle and is intelligently demanded by the system to prevent the compressor from being the coldest part of the system thus enhancing the reliability. The crankcase heater will function as needed any time the outdoor unit is powered. The indoor unit and Observer Wall Control do not need to be installed for the crankcase heater to operate properly.
The compressor windings will occasionally be energized during the OFF cycle (depending on the length of the OFF cycle) to start the stator heat operation, thus maintaining a sump temperature that
