Compressor Lockouts
Some units include adjustable compressor
lockouts. The compressor lockout in the
picture below can be set to any temperature
between -23.3°C and 21.1°C (-10°F and
70°F). The ambient temperature sensor hangs
right outside the unit with a cover.
Figure 15 - Adjustable compressor lockout
Heat pump units include a non-adjustable
compressor lockout for the cooling mode set
to 12.8°C (55°F), and an adjustable
compressor lockout for the heating mode that
can be set between -6.7°C (20°F) to 35°C
(95°F). If a heat pump is selected with the
compressor lockout feature, the adjustable
compressor lockout will change to the -
23.3°C and 21.1°C (-10°F and 70°F) range.
