WARNING
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or
death.
Never use the system compressor as a vacuum pump.
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted or unbroken
ground to minimize personal injury if an electrical fault should
occur. The ground may consist of electrical wire or metal
conduit when installed in accordance with existing electrical
codes.
Refrigerant tubes and indoor coil should be evacuated using the
recommended deep vacuum method of 500 microns. The alternate
triple evacuation method may be used (see triple evacuation
procedure in service manual). Always break a vacuum with dry
nitrogen.
Connect Ground and Power Wires
Connect ground wire to ground connection in control box for
safety. Connect power wiring to contactor as shown in Fig. 5.
Deep Vacuum Method
The deep vacuum method requires a vacuum pump capable of
pulling a vacuum of 500 microns and a vacuum gage capable of
accurately measuring this vacuum depth. The deep vacuum method
is the most positive way of assuring a system is free of air and
liquid water. A tight dry system will hold a vacuum of 1000
microns after approximately 7 minutes. See Fig. 4.

Compressor Crankcase Heater
Airflow Selection for FV4C Fan Coils (non--com-
municating)
The FV4 provides high-- and low--stage blower operation to match
the capacities of the compressor at high-- and low--stage.
When equipped with a crankcase heater, furnish power to heater a
minimum of 24 hr before starting unit. To furnish power to heater
only, set thermostat to OFF and close electrical disconnect to
outdoor unit.
To select recommended airflow, refer to the FV4C Installation
Instructions. The FV4C utilizes an Easy Select control board that
allows the installing technician to select proper airflows. This fan
coil has an adjustable blower--off delay factory set at 90 sec. for
high-- and low--stage blower operation.
When 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.
A crankcase heater is required if refrigerant tubing is longer than
80 ft. (24.38 m). Refer to the Application Guideline and Service
Manual Longline Section--Residential Split--System Air
Conditioners and Heat Pumps.

SYSTEM FUNCTIONS AND SEQUENCE
OF OPERATION
The 180B
/
187B models utilize either an Evolution
Communicating User Interface or a 2-stage cooling indoor
thermostat. With a call for first stage cooling, the outdoor fan and
low-stage compressor are energized. If low-stage cannot satisfy
cooling demand, high-stage is energized by the second stage of
indoor thermostat. After second stage is satisfied, the unit returns to
low-stage operation until first stage is satisfied or until second stage
is required again.
Refer to the literature for the furnace for further details.
Airflow Selection for Variable Speed Furnaces
(non--communicating)
The variable speed furnaces provide blower operation to match the
capacities of the compressor during high and low stage cooling
operation. The furnace control board allows the installing
technician to select the proper airflows for each stage of cooling.
Below is a summary of required adjustments. See furnace
installation instructions for more details:
When both first stage and second stage cooling are satisfied, the
compressor will shut off. When a 2-stage unit is operating at
low-stage, system vapor (suction) pressure will be higher than a
standard single-stage system or high-stage operation.
When the outdoor ambient is more than 100_F (37.8_C), the
outdoor fan will continue to run for one minute after compressor
shuts off. this reduces pressure differential for easier starting in the
next cycle.
1. Turn SW1----5 ON for 400 CFM/ton airflow or OFF for 350
CFM/ton airflow. Factory default is OFF.
2. The A/C DIP switch setting determines airflow during high
stage cooling operation. Select the A/C DIP switch setting
corresponding to the available airflow shown in the furnace
Installation Instructions that most closely matches the re-
quired airflow shown in the air conditioning Product Data
for HIGH speed.
3. The CF DIP switch setting determines airflow during low
stage cooling operation. Select the CF DIP switch setting
corresponding to the available airflow shown in the furnace
installation instructions that most closely matches the re-

Communication and Status Function Lights
Outdoor Fan Motor Operation
The outdoor unit control energizes the outdoor fan any time the
compressor is operating except for low--ambient cooling operation.
For Evolution Control Only, Green communications
(COMM)Light
The outdoor fan remains energized if a pressure switch or
compressor overload should open. Outdoor fan motor will
continue to operate for one minute after the compressor shuts off
when the outdoor ambient is greater than or equal to 100_F
(37.78_C) to allow for easier starting during next cooling cycle.
On 187B models -- The outdoor fan motor is a PSC type. A fan
relay on the control board turns the fan off and on by opening and
closing a high voltage circuit to the motor. It does not change
speeds between low and high stage operation.
Green LED (COMM Light)
A green LED (COMM light) on the outdoor board (see Fig. 6)
indicates successful communication with the other system
products. The green LED will remain OFF until communications is
established. Once a valid command is received, the green LED will
turn ON continuously. If no communication is received within 2
minutes, the LED will be turned OFF until the next valid
communication.
Amber Status Light
On 180B models -- The outdoor fan is an ECM type. The motor
control is continuously powered with high voltage. The motor
speed is determined by electrical pulses provided by the PWM
outputs on the control board. The ECM motor RPM adjusts to
outdoor conditions as described in Table 3. The PWM output can
be measured between the PWM1 and PWM2 terminals on the
circuit board with a volt meter set to DC volts.
An amber colored STATUS light is used to display the operation
mode and fault codes as specified in the troubleshooting section.
See Table 6 for codes and definitions.
NOTE: Only one code will be displayed on the outdoor unit
control board (the most recent, with the highest priority).

NOTE:
For 180A models in low---ambient cooling, the PWM output for both high---

(12.8_C).
Compressor Operation
The basic scroll design has been modified with the addition of an
internal unloading mechanism that opens a by--pass port in the first
compression pocket, effectively reducing the displacement of the
scroll.
In low ambient cooling (below 55_F/12.78_C) on 187B and 180B
models, the control board cycles the fan off and on.
Time Delays
The unit time delays include:
The opening and closing of the by--pass port is controlled by an
internal electrically operated solenoid. The modulated scroll uses a
single step of unloading to go from full capacity to approximately
67% capacity. A single speed, high efficiency motor continues to
run while the scroll modulates between the two capacity steps.
S Five minute time delay to start cooling or heating operation
when there is a call from the thermostat or user interface. To
bypass this feature, momentarily short and release Forced
Defrost pins.
S Five minute compressor re--cycle delay on return from a
brown--out condition.
S Two minute time delay to return to standby operation from last
valid communication (with Evolution only).
S One minute time delay of outdoor fan at termination of cooling
mode when outdoor ambient is greater than or equal to 100_F
(37.78_C).
S There is no delay between staging from low to high and from
high to low capacity. The compressor will change from low to
high and from high to low capacity “on the fly” to meet the
demand.
Modulation is achieved by venting a portion of the gas in the first
suction pocket back to the low side of the compressor, thereby
reducing the effective displacement of the compressor. Full
capacity is achieved by blocking these vents, thus increasing the
displacement to 100%.
A DC solenoid in the compressor controlled by a rectified 24 volt
AC signal in the external solenoid plug moves the slider ring that
covers and uncovers these vents. The vent covers are arranged in
such a manner that the compressor operates at approximately 67%
capacity when the solenoid is not energized and 100% capacity
when the solenoid is energized. The loading and unloading of the
two step scroll is done “on the fly” without shutting off the motor
between steps.
NOTE: 67% compressor capacity translates to approximately
75% cooling capacity at the indoor coil. The compressor will
always start unloaded and stay unloaded for five seconds even
when the thermostat is calling for high--stage capacity.
Crankcase Heater Operation
The crankcase heater is energized during off cycle below 65_F
(18.33_C).

Evolution Controlled Low Ambient Cooling
Check Charge
This unit is capable of low ambient cooling down to 0_F
(--17.78_C) without a kit -- ONLY when using Evolution control.
A low ambient kit is not required, and the outdoor fan motor does
not need to be replaced for Evolution controlled low ambient
operation.
The Evolution Control provides an automatic evaporator coil
freeze protection algorithm that eliminates the need for an
evaporator freeze thermostat. Low ambient cooling must be
enabled in the User Interface set up. Fan may not begin to cycle
until about 40_F (4.4_C) OAT. Fan will cycle based on coil and
outdoor air temperature.
Models 180B / 187B should be charged in high stage compressor
operation. Factory charge amount and desired subcooling are
shown on unit rating plate. Charging method is shown on
information plate inside unit. To properly check or adjust charge,
conditions must be favorable for subcooling charging. Favorable
conditions exist when the outdoor temperature is between 70_F
and 100_F (21.11_C and 37.78_C), and the indoor temperature is
between 70_F and 80_F (21.11_C and 26.67_C). Follow the
procedure below:
Unit is factory charged for 15ft (4.57 m) of lineset. Adjust charge
by adding or removing 0.6 oz/ft of 3/8 liquid line above or below
15ft (4.57 m) respectively.
Evolution controlled low ambient mode operates as follows:
For standard refrigerant line lengths (80 ft/24.38 m or less), allow
system to operate in cooling mode at least 15 minutes. If conditions
are favorable, check system charge by subcooling method. If any
adjustment is necessary, adjust charge slowly and allow system to
operate for 15 minutes to stabilize before declaring a properly
charged system.
—
Fan is OFF when outdoor coil temp is less than outdoor
air temperature (+3_F / 1.67_C) or outdoor fan has been
ON for 30 minutes. (Fan is turned off to allow refrigerant
system to stabilize.)
—
Fan is ON when outdoor coil temp is more than outdoor
air temperature (+ 25_F / 13.89_C) or outdoor coil temp
is more than 80_F (26.67_C) or if outdoor fan has been
OFF for 30 minutes. (Fan is turned on to allow
refrigerant system to stabilize.)
Low pressure switch is ignored for first 3 minutes during
low ambient start up. After 3 minutes, if LPS trips, then
outdoor fan motor is turned off for 10 minutes with the
compressor running. If LPS closes within 10 minutes,
then cooling continues with the outdoor fan cycling per
the coil temperature routine listed above for the
remainder of the cooling cycle. If the LPS does not close
within 10 minutes, then the normal LPS trip response
(shut down cooling operation and generate LPS trip
error) will occur.
If the indoor temperature is above 80_F (26.67_C), and the
outdoor temperature is in the favorable range, adjust system charge
by weight based on line length and allow the indoor temperature to
drop to 80_F (26.67_C) before attempting to check system charge
by subcooling method as described above.
—
If the indoor temperature is below 70_F (21.11_C), or the outdoor
temperature is not in the favorable range, adjust charge for line set
length above or below 15ft (4.57 m) only. Charge level should then
be appropriate for the system to achieve rated capacity. The charge
level could then be checked at another time when the both indoor
and outdoor temperatures are in a more favorable range.
NOTE: If line length is beyond 80 ft (24.38 m) or greater than 20
ft (6.10 m) vertical separation, See Long Line Guideline for
special charging requirements.
—
The PWM output for both high and low--stage equals the
value for low--stage operation, below 55_F (12.8_C).

Table 6) Check the wiring to the User Interface, indoor and
outdoor units.
Model Plug
Each control board contains a model plug. The correct model plug
must be installed for or the system to operate properly (see Table
5).
The brownout toggle is accomplished by shorting the defrost pins
from power up with the OAT and OCT sensor connector removed.
After 3 seconds, the status of the force defrost short and the
OAT/OCT as open will be checked. If correct, then the brownout
will be toggled.

After the brownout defeat is set, power down and reinstall the
OAT/OCT sensor and remove the short from the forced defrost
pins. As long as the short on the forced defrost remains, the OAT
and OCT faults will not be cleared. The code will continue to be
flashed.
The model plug is used to identify the type and size of unit to the
control.
The control is shipped with the brownout active. The change in
status is remembered until toggled to a new status. A power
down/power up sequence will not reset the status. It may be
necessary to do the toggle twice to cycle to the desired state of the
defeat.
On new units, the model and serial numbers are input into the
board’s memory at the factory. If a model plug is lost or missing at
initial installation, the unit will operate according to the
information input at the factory and the appropriate error code will
flash temporarily.
An RCD replacement board contains no model and serial
information. If the factory control board fails, the model plug must
be transferred from the original board to the replacement board for
the unit to operate.
230V Line (Power Disconnect) Detection
If there is no 230v at the compressor contactor(s) when the indoor
unit is powered and cooling demand exists, the appropriate error
code is displayed (see Table 6). Verify that the disconnect is closed
and 230v wiring is connected to the unit.
NOTE: The model plug takes priority over factory model
information input at the factory. If the model plug is removed after
initial power up, the unit will operate according to the last valid
model plug installed, and flash the appropriate fault code
temporarily.
Compressor Voltage Sensing
The control board input terminals labeled VS and L2 (see Fig. 6)
are used to detect compressor voltage status, and alert the user of
potential problems. The control continuously monitors the high
voltage on the run capacitor of the compressor motor. Voltage
should be present any time the compressor contactor is energized,
and voltage should not be present when the contactor is
de--energized.
Pressure Switch Protection
The outdoor unit is equipped with high and low pressure switches.
If the control senses the opening of a high or low pressure switch,
it will respond as follows:
Contactor Shorted Detection
If there is compressor voltage sensed when there is no demand for
compressor operation, the contactor may be stuck closed or there is
a wiring error. The control will flash the appropriate fault code.
1. De--energize the appropriate compressor contactor,
2. Keep the outdoor fan operating for 15 minutes,
3. Display the appropriate fault code (see Table 6).
4. After a 15 minute delay, if there is still a call for cooling and
the LPS or HPS is reset, the appropriate compressor contac-
tor is energized.
Compressor Thermal Cutout
If the control senses the compressor voltage after start--up, and is
then absent for 10 consecutive seconds while cooling demand
exists, the thermal protector is open. The control de--energizes the
compressor contactor for 15 minutes, but continues to operate the
outdoor fan.
5. If LPS or HPS has not closed after a 15 minute delay, the
outdoor fan is turned off. If the open switch closes anytime
after the 15 minute delay, then resume operation with a call
for cooling.
The control Status LED will flash the appropriate code shown in
Table 6. After 15 minutes, with a call for low or high stage cooling,
the compressor contactor is energized. If the thermal protector has
not reset, the outdoor fan is turned off. If the call for cooling
continues, the control will energize the compressor contactor every
15 minutes. If the thermal protector closes, (at the next 15 minute
interval check), the unit will resume operation. If the thermal
6. If LPS or HPS trips 3 consecutive cycles, the unit operation
is locked out for 4 hours.
7. In the event of a high pressure switch trip or high pressure
lockout, check the refrigerant charge outdoor fan operation
and outdoor coil for airflow restrictions.
8. In the event of a low pressure switch trip or low pressure
lockout, check the refrigerant charge and indoor airflow.

cutout trips for three consecutive cycles, then unit operation is
locked out for 4 hours and the appropriate fault code is displayed.
2--Stage Compressor
The 2--stage compressor contains motor windings that provide
2--pole (3500 RPM) operation. Refer to Table 4 for correct
winding resistance.
No 230V at Compressor
If the compressor voltage is not sensed when the compressor
should be starting, the appropriate contactor may be stuck open or
there is a wiring error. The control will flash the appropriate fault
code. Check the contactor and control box wiring.
Compressor Internal Relief
The compressor is protected by an internal pressure relief (IPR)
which relieves discharge gas into compressor shell when
differential between suction and discharge pressures exceeds 550 --
625 psi The compressor is also protected by an internal overload
attached to motor windings.
Troubleshooting units for proper switching
between low & high stages
Check the suction pressures at the service valves. Suction pressure
should be reduced by 3--10% when switching from low to high
capacity.
NOTE: The liquid pressures are very similar between low and
high stage operation so liquid pressure should not be used for
troubleshooting.
Compressor Control Contactor
The contactor has a 24 volt coil. The electronic control board
controls the operation of the appropriate contactor.
TEMPERATURE THERMISTORS
Thermistors are electronic devices which sense temperature. As the
temperature increases, the resistance decreases. Thermistors are
used to sense outdoor ambient (OAT) and coil temperature (OCT).
Refer to Fig. 7 for resistance values versus temperature. If the
outdoor ambient or coil thermistor should fail, the control will
flash the appropriate fault code (see Table 6.)
Compressor current should increase 20--45% when switching from
low to high stage. The compressor solenoid, when energized in
high stage, should measure 24vac. When the compressor is
operating in low stage the 24v DC compressor solenoid coil is
de--energized. When the compressor is operating in high stage, the
24v DC solenoid coil is energized. The solenoid plug harness that
is connected to the compressor has an internal rectifier that
converts the 24v DC signal to 24v AC.
IMPORTANT: Outdoor air thermistor and coil thermistor are
factory mounted in the final locations. Check to insure thermistors
are mounted properly per Fig. 8 and Fig. 9.
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL A PLUG WITHOUT AN
INTERNAL RECTIFIER.
Thermistor Sensor Comparison
The control continuously monitors and compares the outdoor air
temperature sensor and outdoor coil temperature sensor to ensure
proper operating conditions. The comparison is:
Unloader Test Procedure
The unloader is the compressor internal mechanism, controlled by
the DC solenoid, that modulates between high and low stage. If it
is suspected that the unloader is not working, the following
methods may be used to verify operation.
—
If the outdoor air sensor indicates 10_F (5.56_C) warmer
than the coil sensor (or) the outdoor air sensor indicates
20_F (11.11_C) cooler than the coil sensor, the sensors
are out of range.
1. Operate the system and measure compressor amperage.
Cycle the unloader on and off at 30 second plus intervals at
the UI (from low to high stage and back to low stage). Wait
5 seconds after staging to high before taking a reading. The
compressor amperage should go up or down at least 20 per-
cent.
—
—
If the sensors are out of range, the control will flash the
appropriate fault code as shown in Table 6.
The thermistor comparison is not performed during low
ambient cooling or defrost operation.
2. If step one does not give the expected results, remove the
solenoid plug from the compressor and, with the unit run-
ning and the UI (or Thermostat) calling for high stage, test
the voltage output at the plug with a DC voltmeter. The
reading should be 24 volts DC.
Failed Thermistor Default Operation
Factory defaults have been provided in the event of failure of
outdoor air thermistor and/or coil thermistor.
If the OAT sensor should fail, low ambient cooling will not be
allowed and the one minute outdoor fan--off delay will not occur.
3. If the correct DC voltage is at the control circuit molded
plug, measure the compressor unloader coil resistance. The
resistance should be 32 to 60 ohms depending on com-
pressor temperature. If the coil resistance is infinite, much
lower than 32 ohms, or is grounded, the compressor must
be replaced.
If the OCT sensor should fail, low ambient cooling will not be
allowed.
OAT Thermistor must be locked in place with spherical nib end
facing towards the front of the control box
