Suction Thermistor (OST)
Suction Thermistor is used for assisting in EXV control and must
be secured on the suction tube and aligned longitudinally to the
vertical surface of the tube axis (see Fig. 5).
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage or improper operation.
In order to minimize the ambient influence, make sure the
thermistor curved surface hugs the pipe surface and is
secured tight using the wire tie fished through the original
slot insulating polymer body.

Discharge Thermistor (ODT)
Discharge Thermistor is used for protection against over
temperature of the compressor. The ODT is located on the
compressor discharge stub--out (see Fig. 6).

Crankcase Heater Operation
This unit has an internal crankcase heater that will be energized
during the off cycle and is intelligently demanded by the system to
prevent the compressor from being the coldest part of the system
thus enhancing the reliability . The crankcase heater will function
as needed any time the outdoor unit is powered. The indoor unit
and UI do not need to be installed for the crankcase heater to
operate properly.
The compressor windings will occasionally be energized during
the OFF cycle (depending on the length of the OFF cycle) to start
the stator heat operation, thus maintaining a sump temperature that
is essential for compressor reliability. The compressor will not run
during this process.
Time Delays
The unit time delays include:
S 3.5 minute time delay after last cycle, initial power up, return
from brown--out condition. To bypass this feature, momentarily
short and release Forced Defrost pins.
S At the end of every compressor ON cycle, there will be 150
seconds of PEV open period for pressure equalization followed
by 15 seconds of PEV Off period before the next compressor
ON cycle. This delay cannot be bypassed as it helps compressor
reliability.
S 15 second delay at termination of defrost before the auxiliary
heat is de--energized.
S See Table 6 for other delay information.
S 10 minute sump warm--up delay. This delay is at the beginning
of each high voltage power up.
