A − Control Box (Figure 2)
14HPX units are not equipped with a 24V transformer. All
24 VAC controls are powered by the indoor unit. Refer to
wiring diagram.
Electrical openings are provided under the control box cover. Field thermostat wiring is made to a 24V terminal strip
located on the defrost control board located in the control
box. See figure 3.

*not used
1 − Compressor Contactor (K1)
The compressor is energized by a contactor located in the
control box. See figure 2. Single−pole contactors are used
in 14HPX series units. See wiring diagrams for specific
unit. K1 is energized through the CMC1 board by the indoor thermostat terminal Y1 (24V) when thermostat demand is present.
DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard.
May cause injury or death.
Disconnect all remote electrical power
supplies before opening unit panel. Unit
may have multiple power supplies.
Some units are equipped with single−
pole contactors. When unit is equipped
with a single−pole contactor, line voltage
is present at all components (even when
unit is not in operation).
2 − Dual Capacitor (C12)
The compressor and fan in 14HPX series units use permanent
split capacitor motors. The capacitor is located inside the unit
control box (see figure 2). A single dual" capacitor (C12) is
used for both the fan motor and the compressor (see unit wiring diagram). The fan side and the compressor side of the capacitor have different MFD ratings.
Page 5
3 − Defrost System (CMC1)
The demand defrost control measures differential temperatures to detect when the system is performing poorly
because of ice build−up on the outdoor coil. The controller
self−calibrates" when the defrost system starts and after
each system defrost cycle. The defrost control board components are shown in figure 4.
The control monitors ambient temperature, outdoor coil
temperature, and total run time to determine when a defrost cycle is required. The coil temperature probe is designed with a spring clip to allow mounting to the outside
coil tubing. The location of the coil sensor is important for
proper defrost operation.
NOTE − The demand defrost board accurately measures
the performance of the system as frost accumulates on the
outdoor coil. This typically will translate into longer running
time between defrost cycles as more frost accumulates on
the outdoor coil before the board initiates defrost cycles.
Diagnostic LEDs
The state (Off, On, Flashing) of two LEDs on the defrost
board (DS1 [Red] and DS2 [Green]) indicate diagnostics
conditions that are described in table 2.

Defrost Control Pressure Switch Connections
The unit’s automatic reset pressure switches (LO PS − S87
and HI PS − S4) are factory−wired into the defrost board on
the LO−PS and HI−PS terminals, respectively.
(OPTIONAL) Low Pressure Switch (LO−PS)When the
low pressure switch trips, the defrost board will cycle off the
compressor, and the strike counter in the board will count
one strike. The low pressure switch is ignored under the following conditions:
S during the defrost cycle and 90 seconds after the ter-
mination of defrost
S when the average ambient sensor temperature is be-
low 15° F (−9°C)
S for 90 seconds following the start up of the compressor
S during "test" mode
High Pressure Switch (HI−PS)When the high pressure
switch trips, the defrost control will cycle off the compressor, and the strike counter in the control will count one
strike.
Defrost Control Pressure Switch Settings
High Pressure (auto reset) − trip at 590 psig; reset at 418.
Low Pressure (auto reset) − trip at 25 psig; reset at 40 psig.
5−Strike Lockout Feature
The internal control logic of the control counts the pressure
switch trips only while the Y1 (Input) line is active. If a pressure switch opens and closes four times during a Y1 (Input), the control logic will reset the pressure switch trip
counter to zero at the end of the Y1 (Input). If the pressure
switch opens for a fifth time during the current Y1 (Input),
the control will enter a lockout condition.
The 5−strike pressure switch lockout condition can be reset
by cycling OFF the 24−volt power to the control board or by
shorting the TEST pins between 1 and 2 seconds. All timer
functions (run times) will also be reset.
If a pressure switch opens while the Y1 Out line is engaged,
a 5−minute short cycle will occur after the switch closes.
Defrost System Sensors
Sensors connect to the defrost control through a field-replaceable harness assembly that plugs into the board.
Through the sensors, the control detects outdoor ambient
and coil temperature fault conditions. As the detected temperature changes, the resistance across the sensor
changes. Figure 5 shows how the resistance varies as the
temperature changes for both type of sensors. Sensor resistance values can be checked by ohming across pins
shown in table 1.

Note: Sensor resistance decreases as sensed temperature increases
(see figure5).
NOTE − When checking the ohms across a sensor, be
aware that a sensor showing a resistance value that is not
within the range shown in table 1, may be performing as designed. However, if a shorted or open circuit is detected,
then the sensor may be faulty and the sensor harness will
needs to be replaced.
Coil SensorThe coil temperature sensor (shown in figure 6) considers outdoor temperatures below −35°F
(−37°C) or above 120°F (48°C) as a fault. If the coil temperature sensor is detected as being open, shorted or out of
the temperature range of the sensor, the board will not perform demand or time/temperature defrost operation and
will display the appropriate fault code. Heating and cooling
operation will be allowed in this fault condition.

FIGURE 6
Ambient SensorThe ambient sensor (shown in figure 6)
considers outdoor temperatures below −35°F (−37°C) or
above 120°F (48°C) as a fault. If the ambient sensor is detected as being open, shorted or out of the temperature
range of the sensor, the control will not perform demand
defrost operation. The control will revert to time/temperature defrost operation and will display the appropriate fault
code. Heating and cooling operation will be allowed in this
fault condition.
NOTE − Within a single room thermostat demand, if
5−strikes occur, the board will lockout the unit. Defrost
board 24 volt power R" must be cycled OFF" or the
TEST" pins on board must be shorted between 1 to 2 seconds to reset the board.
Defrost Temperature Termination Shunt (Jumper)
PinsThe defrost control selections are: 50, 70, 90, and
100°F (10, 21, 32 and 38°C). The shunt termination pin is
factory set at 50°F (10°C). If the temperature shunt is not
installed, the default termination temperature is 90°F
(32°C).
Delay Mode
The defrost control has a field−selectable function to reduce occasional sounds that may occur while the unit is
cycling in and out of the defrost mode. When a jumper is
installed on the DELAY pins, the compressor will be cycled
off for 30 seconds going in and out of the defrost mode.
Units are shipped with jumper installed on DELAY pins.
Page 7
NOTE − The 30 second off cycle is NOT functional when
jumpering the TEST pins.
Operational Description
The defrost control has three basic operational modes:
normal, calibration, and defrost.
Normal ModeThe demand defrost control monitors the
O line, to determine the system operating mode (heat/
cool), outdoor ambient temperature, coil temperature (outdoor coil) and compressor run time to determine when a
defrost cycle is required.
Calibration ModeThe control is considered uncalibrated when power is applied to the control, after cool
mode operation, or if the coil temperature exceeds the termination temperature when it is in heat mode.
Calibration of the control occurs after a defrost cycle to ensure that there is no ice on the coil. During calibration, the
temperature of both the coil and the ambient sensor are
measured to establish the temperature differential which is
required to allow a defrost cycle. See figure 8 for calibration
mode sequence.
Defrost ModeThe following paragraphs provide a detailed description of the defrost system operation.
Detailed Defrost System Operation
Defrost CyclesThe demand defrost control initiates a
defrost cycle based on either frost detection or time.
S Frost DetectionIf the compressor runs longer than
34 minutes and the actual difference between the clear
coil and frosted coil temperatures exceeds the maximum difference allowed by the control, a defrost cycle
will be initiated.
IMPORTANT − The demand defrost control will allow a
greater accumulation of frost and will initiate fewer defrost cycles than a time/temperature defrost system.
S TimeIf 6 hours of heating mode compressor run time
has elapsed since the last defrost cycle while the coil
temperature remains below 35°F (2°C), the demand
defrost control will initiate a defrost cycle.
ActuationWhen the reversing valve is de−energized, the
Y1 circuit is energized, and the coil temperature is below
35°F (2°C), the board logs the compressor run time. If the
board is not calibrated, a defrost cycle will be initiated after
34 minutes of heating mode compressor run time. The control will attempt to self−calibrate after this (and all other) defrost cycle(s).
Calibration success depends on stable system temperatures during the 20−minute calibration period. If the control
fails to calibrate, another defrost cycle will be initiated after
45 minutes (90 minutes −1 to −4 boards) of heating mode
compressor run time. Once the defrost board is calibrated,
it initiates a demand defrost cycle when the difference between the clear coil and frosted coil temperatures exceeds
the maximum difference allowed by the control OR after 6
hours of heating mode compressor run time has been
logged since the last defrost cycle.
NOTE − If ambient or coil fault is detected, the control will
not execute the TEST" mode.
TerminationThe defrost cycle ends when the coil temperature exceeds the termination temperature or after 14
minutes of defrost operation. If the defrost is terminated by
the 14−minute timer, another defrost cycle will be initiated
after 34 minutes of run time.
Test ModeWhen Y1 is energized and 24V power is being applied to the control, a test cycle can be initiated by
placing the termination temperature jumper across the
Test" pins for 2 to 5 seconds. If the jumper remains across
the Test" pins longer than 5 seconds, the control will ignore
the test pins and revert to normal operation. The jumper will
initiate one cycle per test.
Enter the TEST" mode by placing a shunt (jumper) across
the TEST" pins on the control after power−up. (The
TEST" pins are ignored and the test function is locked out if
the shunt is applied on the TEST" pins before power−up).
Control timings are reduced, the low−pressure switch is ignored and the control will clear any active lockout condition.
Each test pin shorting will result in one test event. For
each TEST" the shunt (jumper) must be removed for at
least 1 second and reapplied. Refer to flow chart (figure 7)
for TEST" operation.
Note: The Y1 input must be active (ON) and the O" room
thermostat terminal into board must be inactive.

B − Compressor (B1)
All 14HPX units utilize a scroll compressor. The scroll compressor design is simple, efficient and requires few moving
parts. A cutaway diagram of the scroll compressor is shown in
figure 9. The scrolls are located in the top of the compressor
can and the motor is located just below. The oil level is immediately below the motor.
The scroll is a simple compression concept centered around
the unique spiral shape of the scroll and its inherent properties.
Figure 10 shows the basic scroll form. Two identical scrolls are
mated together forming concentric spiral shapes (figure 11).
One scroll remains stationary, while the other is allowed to "orbit" (figure 12). Note that the orbiting scroll does not rotate or
turn but merely orbits the stationary scroll.

The counterclockwise orbiting scroll draws gas into the outer
crescent shaped gas pocket created by the two scrolls (figure
12 − 1). The centrifugal action of the orbiting scroll seals off the
flanks of the scrolls (figure 12 − 2). As the orbiting motion continues, the gas is forced toward the center of the scroll and the
gas pocket becomes compressed (figure 12 − 3). When the
compressed gas reaches the center, it is discharged vertically
into a chamber and discharge port in the top of the compressor
(figure 11). The discharge pressure forcing down on the top
scroll helps seal off the upper and lower edges (tips) of the
scrolls (figure 11). During a single orbit, several pockets of gas
are compressed simultaneously providing smooth continuous
compression.
The scroll compressor is tolerant to the effects of liquid return.
If liquid enters the scrolls, the orbiting scroll is allowed to separate from the stationary scroll. The liquid is worked toward the
center of the scroll and is discharged. If the compressor is replaced, conventional Lennox cleanup practices must be used.
Due to its efficiency, the scroll compressor is capable of drawing a much deeper vacuum than reciprocating com pressors. Deep vacuum operation can cause internal fusite
arcing resulting in damaged internal parts and will result
in compressor failure. Never use a scroll compressor for
evacuating or pumping−down" the system. This type of
damage can be detected and will result in denial of warranty claims.
The scroll compressor is quieter than a reciprocating compressor, however, the two compressors have much different sound characteristics. The sounds made by a scroll
compressor do not affect system reliability, performance,
or indicate damage.

C − Outdoor Fan Motor (B4)
All units use single−phase PSC fan motors which require a ru n
capacitor. In all units, the condenser fan is controlled by
the compressor contactor (and defrost control during
defrost cycles).
ELECTRICAL DATA tables in this manual show specifications for condenser fans used in 14HPXs.
Access to the condenser fan motor on all units is gained
by removing the seven screws securing the fan assembly. See figure 13. The outdoor fan motor is removed
from the fan guard by removing the four nuts found on
the top panel. If replacing outdoor fan motor on the
14HPX−060, align motor shaft 1/4" from the hub. For all
other 14HPX model units, motor shaft should be flush
with hub. See figure 13. Drip loops should be used in wiring when servicing motor.
D − Reversing Valve (L1) and Solenoid
A refrigerant reversing valve with electromechanical solenoid is used to reverse refrigerant flow during unit operation. The reversing valve requires no maintenance.
The only replaceable part is the solenoid. If the reversing
valve itself has failed, it must be replaced.
If replacement is necessary, access reversing valve by removing the outdoor fan motor. Refer to figure 13.

E − High Pressure Switch (S4)
IMPORTANT
Pressure switch settings for R−410A refrigerant will
be significantly higher than units with R−410A.
An auto-reset, single-pole/single-throw high pressure switch
is located in the liquid line. This switch shuts off the compressor when liquid line pressure rises above the factory setting.
The switch is normally closed and is permanently adjusted to
trip (open) at 590 +
10 psi. See Pressure Switch Circuit in
the Defrost Control description.
F − Low Pressure Switch (S87) (option)
An auto-reset, single-pole/single-throw low pressure
switch is located in the suction line. This switch shuts off the
compressor when suction pressure drops below the factory setting. The switch is closed during normal operating
pressure conditions and is permanently adjusted to trip
(open) at 25 + 5 psi. The switch automatically resets when
suction line pressure rises above 40 + 5 psi. Under certain
conditions the low pressure switch is ignored. See Pres-
sure Switch Circuit in the Defrost Control description.
G − Loss of Charge Switch (S24) (option)
The loss of charge switch is NC, auto re−set and located on
the suction line of the compressor. The switch opens when
suction line pressure exceeds the factory setting of 25 +
5
psig and shuts down the compressor. The switch closes at
55 psig +
5.
H − Start Kit (option)
The start kit consist of a potential relay K31 and start capacitor C7. The potential relay controls the operation of the
starting circuit. The relay is normally closed when contactor
K1 is de−energized. When K1 is energized, the compressor
immediately begins start up. K31 remains closed during
compressor start up and capacitor C7 remains in the circuit. When compressor reaches approximately 75% of its
speed, K31 is energized. When K31 energizes, the contacts open and start capacitor C7 is taken out of the circuit.
I − Drier
A filter drier designed for all 14HPX model units is factory
installed in the liquid line. The filter drier is designed to remove moisture and foreign matter, which can lead to compressor failure.
Moisture and / or Acid Check
Because POE oils absorb moisture, the dryness of the
system must be verified any time the refrigerant system is exposed to open air. A compressor oil sample
must be taken to determine if excessive moisture has been
introduced to the oil. Table 3 lists kits available from Lennox
to check POE oils.
If oil sample taken from a system that has been exposed to
open air does not test in the dry color range, the filter drier
MUST be replace.
IMPORTANT
Replacement filter drier MUST be approved for
HFC−410A refrigerant and POE application.
Foreign Matter Check
It is recommended that a liquid line filter drier be replaced
when the pressure drop across the filter drier is greater
than 4 psig. To safeguard against moisture entering the
system follow the steps in section III − sub section
E − "Evacuating the System" when replacing the drier.
J − Crankcase Heater (HR1) & Thermostat
(S40)
Crankcase heater HR1 and thermostat S40 are standard
on 14HPX−036, −042, −048 and −060 units and an option for
the other sizes. HR1 is a 40 watt heater that prevents liquid
from accumulating in the compressor. HR1 is controlled by
thermostat S40 located in the liquid line. When liquid line
temperature drops below 50° F, S40 closes energizing
HR1. S40 will open once liquid line temperature reaches
70°, de−energizing HR1.

B − Service Valves
IMPORTANT
Only use Allen wrenches of sufficient hardness
(50Rc − Rockwell Harness Scale min). Fully insert the wrench into the valve stem recess.
Service valve stems are factory torqued (from 9
ft lbs for small valves, to 25 ft lbs for large
valves) to prevent refrigerant loss during shipping and handling. Using an Allen wrench rated
at less than 50Rc risks rounding or breaking off
the wrench, or stripping the valve stem recess.
The liquid and vapor line service valves (figures 16 and 17)
and gauge ports are accessible from outside the unit.
Each valve is equipped with a service port. The service ports
are used for leak testing, evacuating, charging and checking
charge. A schrader valve is factory installed. A service port cap
is supplied to protect the schrader valve from contamination
and serve as the primary leak seal.
NOTE-Always keep valve stem caps clean.
To Access Schrader Port:
1 − Remove service port cap with an adjustable wrench.
2 − Connect gauge to the service port.
3 − When testing is completed, replace service port cap.
Tighten finger tight, then an additional 1/6 turn.
To Open Liquid or Vapor Line Service Valve:
1 − Remove stem cap with an adjustable wrench.
2 − Using service wrench and hex head extension (5/16 for
vapor line and 3/16 for liquid line), back the stem out counterclockwise until the valve stem just touches the retaining
ring.
3 − Replace stem cap and tighten finger tight, then tighten an
additional 1/6 turn.
Do not attempt to backseat this valve. Attempts to
backseat this valve will cause snap ring to explode
from valve body under pressure of refrigerant.
Personal injury and unit damage will result.
DANGER
To Close Liquid or Vapor Line Service Valve:
1 − Remove stem cap with an adjustable wrench.
2 − Using service wrench and hex head extension (5/16 for
vapor line and 3/16 for liquid line), turn stem clockwise to
seat the valve. Tighten firmly.
3 − Replace stem cap. Tighten finger tight, then tighten an
additional 1/6 turn.

C − Pumping Down System
CAUTION
Deep vacuum operation (operating compressor
at 0 psig or lower) can cause internal fusite
arcing resulting in a damaged or failed
compressor. This type of damage will result in
denial of warranty claim.
The system may be pumped down when leak checking the
line set and indoor coil or making repairs to the line set or
indoor coil.
1− Attach gauge manifold.
2− Front seat (close) liquid line valve.
3− Start outdoor unit.
4− Monitor suction gauge. Stop unit when 0 psig is reached.
5− Front seat (close) suction line valve.
D − Leak Testing (To Be Done
Before Evacuating)
1− Attach gauge manifold and connect a drum of dry nitro-
gen to center port of gauge manifold.
2− Open high pressure valve on gauge manifold and
pressurize line set and indoor coil to 150 psig (1034
kPa).
3− Check lines and connections for leaks.
NOTE-The preferred method is to use an electronic leak or
Halide detector. Add a small amount of HFC−410A (3 to 5
psig [20kPa to 34kPa]) then pressurize with nitrogen to 150
psig.
4− Release nitrogen pressure from the system, correct any
leaks and recheck.
WARNING
Danger of explosion!
When using a high pressure gas such
as dry nitrogen to pressurize a refrigerant or air conditioning system, use a
regulator that can control the pressure
down to 1 or 2 psig (6.9 to 13.8 kPa).
WARNING
Fire, Explosion and Personal Safety
Hazard.
Failure to follow this warning could
result in damage, personal injury or
death.
Never use oxygen to pressurize or
purge refrigeration lines. Oxygen,
when exposed to a spark or open
flame, can cause damage by fire
and / or an explosion, that can result in personal injury or death.
E − Evacuating the System
1− Attach gauge manifold. Connect vacuum pump (with vac-
uum gauge) to center port of gauge manifold. With both
manifold service valves open, start pump and evacuate
indoor coil and refrigerant lines.
IMPORTANT
A temperature vacuum gauge, mercury vacuum
(U−tube), or thermocouple gauge should be used.
The usual Bourdon tube gauges are not accurate
enough in the vacuum range.
IMPORTANT
The compressor should never be used to evacuate a refrigeration or air conditioning system.
2− Evacuate the system to 29 inches (737mm) vacuum. Dur-
ing the early stages of evacuation, it is desirable to stop
the vacuum pump at least once to determine if there is a
rapid loss of vacuum. A rapid loss of vacuum would indicate a leak in the system and a repeat of the leak testing
section would be necessary.
3− After system has been evacuated to 29 inches
(737mm), close gauge manifold valves to center port,
stop vacuum pump and disconnect from gauge manifold. Attach an upright nitrogen drum to center port of
gauge manifold and open drum valve slightly to purge
Page 17
line at manifold. Break vacuum in system with nitrogen pressure by opening manifold high pressure
valve. Close manifold high pressure valve to center
port.
4− Close nitrogen drum valve and disconnect from
gauge manifold center port. Release nitrogen pressure from system.
5− Connect vacuum pump to gauge manifold center
port. Evacuate system through manifold service
valves until vacuum in system does not rise above
.5mm of mercury absolute pressure or 500 microns
within a 20−minute period after stopping vacuum pump.
6− After evacuation is complete, close manifold center port,
and connect refrigerant drum. Pressurize system
slightly with refrigerant to break vacuum.
III − CHARGING
This system is charged with HFC−410A refrigerant which
operates at much higher pressures than HCFC−22. The
recommended check expansion valve is approved for use
with HFC−410A. Do not replace it with a valve that is designed to be used with HCFC−22. This unit is NOT approved for use with coils that include metering orifices or
capillary tubes.
The unit is factory−charged with the amount of HFC−410A
refrigerant indicated on the unit rating plate. This charge is
based on a matching indoor coil and outdoor coil with a 15
foot (4.6 m) line set. For varying line set lengths and for
various indoor unit matchups, the refrigerant charge
must be adjusted per tables 6 (Page 19) and 7
(Page 19). A blank space is provided on the unit rating
plate to list the actual field charge.
IMPORTANT
Mineral oils are not compatible with HFC−410A. If oil
must be added, it must be a polyol ester oil.
A − Check indoor air before charging
Figure 18
IMPORTANT
CHECK AIRFLOW BEFORE CHARGING!
NOTE − Be sure that filters and indoor and outdoor coils are
clean before testing.
Cooling mode indoor airflow check
Check airflow using the Delta−T (DT) process (figure 18).
Heating mode indoor airflow check
Blower airflow (CFM) may be calculated by energizing
electric heat and measuring:
S temperature rise between the return air and supply air
temperatures at the indoor coil blower unit,
S measuring voltage supplied to the unit,
S measuring amperage being drawn by the heat unit(s).
Then, apply the measurements taken in following formula
to determine CFM:
Amps x Volts x 3.41
CFM
=
1.08 x Temperature rise (F)
B − Set Up for Checking and Adding Charge
Setup for charging
Connect the manifold gauge set to the unit’s service ports
(see figure 14):

IMPORTANT
Use table 5 as a general guide when performing maintenance checks. This is not a procedure for charging the
unit (Refer to Charging / Checking Charge section). Minor variations in these pressures may be expected due
to differences in installations. Significant differences could mean that the system is not properly charged or that
a problem exists with some component in the system.

1. Check the airflow (figure 18) to be sure the indoor airflow is as required. (Make any air
flow adjustments before continuing with the following procedure.)
2. Measure outdoor ambient temperature; determine whether to use cooling mode or
heating mode to check charge.
3. Connect gauge set.
4. Check Liquid and Vapor line pressures. Compare pressures with Normal Operating
Pressures table 5, (Table 5 is a general guide. Expect minor pressures variations.
Significant differences may mean improper charge or other system problem.)
5. Set thermostat for heat/cool demand, depending on mode being used:
Using cooling modeWhen the outdoor ambient temperature is 60°F (15°C) and above.
Target subcooling values in table below are based on 70 to 80°F (21−27°C) indoor return
air temperature; if necessary, operate heating to reach that temperature range; then set
thermostat to cooling mode setpoint to 68ºF (20ºC). When pressures have stabilized,
continue with step 6..
Using heating modeWhen the outdoor ambient temperature is below 60°F (15°C).
Target subcooling values in table below are based on 65−75°F (18−24°C) indoor return air
temperature; if necessary, operate cooling to reach that temperature range; then set
thermostat to heating mode setpoint to 77ºF (25ºC). When pressures have stabilized,
continue with step 6..
6. Read the liquid line temperature; record in the LIQº space.
7. Read the liquid line pressure; then find its corresponding temperature in the temperature/
pressure chart (table 8) and record it in the SATº space.
8. Subtract LIQº temp. from SATº temp. to determine subcooling; record it in SCº space.
9. Compare SCº results with table below, being sure to note any additional charge for lineset
and/or matchup.
10. If subcooling value is greater than shown in table, remove refrigerant; if less than
shown, add refrigerant.
11.If refrigerant is added or removed, repeat steps 5. through 10. to verify charge.

14HPX OPERATING SEQUENCE
This is the sequence of operation for 14HPX series
units. The sequence is outlined by numbered steps
which correspond to circled numbers on the adjacent
diagram. The steps are identical for both cooling and
first stage heating demand with the exception reversing valve L1 is energized during cooling demand and
de−energized during heating demand.
NOTE− Transformer in indoor unit supplies power (24
VAC) to the thermostat and outdoor unit controls.
COOLING:
Internal thermostat wiring energizes terminal O by cooling
mode selection, energizing the reversing valve L1.
1 − Demand initiates at Y1 in the thermostat.
2 − 24VAC energizes compressor contactor K1.
3 − K1-1 N.O. closes, energizing compressor (B1) and out-
door fan motor (B4).
END OF COOLING DEMAND:
4 − Demand is satisfied. Terminal Y1 is de-energized.
5 − Compressor contactor K1 is de-energized.
6 − K1-1 opens and compressor (B1) and outdoor fan
motor (B4) are de-energized and stop immediately.
FIRST STAGE HEAT:
Internal thermostat wiring de−energizes terminal O by
heating mode selection, de−energizing the reversing valve
L1.
See steps 1, 2 and 3.
End of FIRST STAGE HEAT:
See steps 4, 5 and 6.
DEFROST MODE:
When a defrost cycle is initiated, the control ener-
gizes the reversing valve solenoid and turns off the
condenser fan. The control will also put 24VAC on
the W1" (auxiliary heat) line. The unit will stay in this
mode until either the coil sensor temperature is
above the selected termination temperature, the defrost time of 14 minutes has been completed, or the
room thermostat demand cycle has been satisfied.
(If the temperature select shunt is not installed, the
default termination temperature will be 90°F.) If the
room thermostat demand cycle terminates the
cycle, the defrost cycle will be held until the next
room thermostat demand cycle. If the coil sensor
temperature is still below the selected termination
temperature, the control will continue the defrost
cycle until the cycle is terminated in one of the methods mentioned above. If a defrost is terminated by
time and the coil temperature did not remain above
35°F (2°C) for 4 minutes the control will go to the
34−minute Time/Temperature mode.
