Sequence of Operation  
Quiet Shift  
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. 12) in the ON  
position.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
The defrost thermostat senses coil temperature throughout the  
heating cycle. When the coil temperature reaches the defrost  
thermostat setting of approximately 32 degrees 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.  
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  
Defrost cycle is terminated when defrost thermostat opens, or  
automatically after 10 minutes.  
Defrost Speedup  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

6. To obtain required subcooling temperature at a specific  
liquid line pressure, add refrigerant if liquid line  
temperature is higher than indicated or reclaim refrigerant  
if temperature is lower. Allow a tolerance of ± 3°F.  
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.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
For continuing high performance and to minimize possible
