CAUTION  
UNIT OPERATION AND SAFETY HAZARD  
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury,  
equipment damage or improper operation.  
Sequence of Operation  
S Do not overcharge system with refrigerant.  
S Do not operate unit in a vacuum or at negative pressure.  
S Do not disable low pressure switch in scroll compressor  
applications.  
NOTE: Defrost control board is equipped with 5 minute lockout  
timer that is initiated upon any interruption of power.  
Turn on power to indoor and outdoor units. Transformer is  
energized.  
Cooling  
S Compressor dome temperatures may be hot.  
On a call for cooling, thermostat makes circuits R--O, R--Y, and  
R--G. Circuit R--O energizes reversing valve, switching it to  
cooling position. Circuit R--Y sends low voltage through the  
safeties and energizes the T1 terminal on the circuit board. If the  
compressor has been off for 5 minutes, or power has not been  
cycled for 5 minutes, the OF2 relay and T2 terminal will energize.  
This will close the contactor, and start the outdoor fan motor and  
compressor.  
Follow these steps to properly start up system:  
1. After system is evacuated, fully open liquid and vapor  
service valves.  
2. Unit is shipped with valve stem(s) front seated (closed) and  
caps installed. Replace stem caps after system is opened to  
refrigerant flow (back seated). Replace caps finger--tight and  
tighten with wrench an additional 1/12 turn.  
When the cycle is complete, R--Y is turned off, stopping the  
compressor and outdoor fan. The 5 minute time guard begins  
counting. Compressor will not come on again until this delay  
expires. In the event of a power interruption, the time guard will  
not allow another cycle for 5 minutes.  
3. Close electrical disconnects to energize system.  
4. Set room thermostat at desired temperature. Be sure set  
point is below indoor ambient temperature.  
5. Set room thermostat to HEAT or COOL and fan control to  
ON or AUTO mode, as desired. Operate unit for 15  
minutes. Check system refrigerant charge.  
NOTE: If the indoor blower off delay is enabled, it will run up to  
an additional 90 seconds to increase system efficiency.  
Heating  
On a call for heating, thermostat makes circuits R--Y and R--G.  
Circuit R--Y sends low voltage through the safeties and energizes  
the T1 terminal on the circuit board. T1 energizes the defrost logic  
circuit. If the compressor has been off for 5 minutes, or power  
has not been cycled for 5 minutes, the OF2 relay and T2 terminal  
will energize. This will close the contactor, start the outdoor fan  
motor and compressor.  
When the cycle is complete, R--Y is turned off , stopping the  
compressor and outdoor fan. The 5 minute time guard begins  
counting. Compressor will not come on again until this time delay  
expires. In the event of a power interruption, the time guard will  
not allow another cycle for 5 minutes.

Quiet Shift  
Check Charge  
Quiet shift is a field selectable defrost mode (factory set to OFF),  
which will eliminate occasional noise that could be heard at the  
start of defrost cycle and restarting of heating cycle. It is selected  
by placing DIP switch 3 on defrost board (see Fig. 9) in the ON  
position.  
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:  
When Quiet Shift switch is placed in ON position, and a defrost is  
initiated, the following sequence of operation will occur. Reversing  
valve will energize, compressor will turn off for 30 seconds, and  
then turn back on to complete defrost. At the start of heating after  
conclusion of defrost, reversing valve will de--energize,  
compressor will turn off for another 30 seconds, and the fan will  
turn off for 40 seconds, before starting in the heating mode.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Defrost  
The defrost control is a time/temperature control which has field  
selectable settings of 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes, factory set to 90  
minutes. These settings represent the amount of time that must pass  
after closure of the defrost thermostat before the defrost sequence  
begins.  
The defrost thermostat senses coil temperature throughout the  
heating cycle. When the coil temperature reaches the defrost  
thermostat setting of approximately 32_F, it will close, which  
energizes the DFT terminal and begins the defrost timing sequence.  
When the DFT has been energized for the selected time, the defrost  
cycle begins. Defrost cycle is terminated when defrost thermostat  
opens, or automatically after 10 minutes.  
Defrost Speedup  
To initiate a forced defrost, speedup pins (J1) must be shorted with  
a flat head screwdriver for 5 seconds and RELEASED. If the  
defrost thermostat is open, a short defrost cycle will be observed  
(actual length depends on Quiet Shift switch position). When Quiet  
Shift is off, only a short 30 second defrost cycle is observed. With  
Quiet Shift ON, the speedup sequence is one minute; 30 second  
compressor off period followed by 30 seconds of defrost with  
compressor operation. When returning to heating mode, the  
compressor will turn off for an additional 30 seconds and the fan  
for 40 seconds.  
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.  
Heating Check Chart Procedure  
To check system operation during heating cycle, refer to the  
Heating Check Chart on outdoor unit. This chart indicates whether  
a correct relationship exists between system operating pressure and  
air temperature entering indoor and outdoor units. If pressure and  
temperature do not match on chart, system refrigerant charge may  
not be correct. Do not use chart to adjust refrigerant charge.  
If the defrost thermostat is closed, a complete defrost cycle is  
initiated. If the Quiet Shift switch is turned on, the compressor will  
be turned off for two 30 second intervals as explained previously.  
Final Checks  
IMPORTANT: Before leaving job, be sure to do the following:  
1. Ensure that all wiring is routed away from tubing and sheet  
metal edges to prevent rub--through or wire pinching.  
2. Ensure that all wiring and tubing is secure in unit before  
adding panels and covers. Securely fasten all panels and  
covers.  
3. Tighten service valve stem caps to 1/12--turn past finger  
tight.  
4. Leave Owner’s Manual with owner. Explain system  
operation and periodic maintenance requirements outlined  
in manual.
