Compressor Control Contactors
Low and High capacity contactor coils are 24 volts. The electronic
control board controls the operation of the low speed (C-L) and the
high speed (C-H) contactors.
TEMPERATURE THERMISTORS
Thermistors are electronic devices which sense temperature. As
the temperature increases, the resistance decreases. Thermistors
are used to sense outdoor ambient and coil temperature. Refer to
Fig. 16 for resistance values versus temperature.
If the outdoor ambient thermistor or coil thermistor should fail, a
fault code appears at electronic control. The crankcase heater is
turned on during all off cycles.
IMPORTANT: OUTDOOR AIR THERMISTOR PLACEMENT
Mount outdoor air thermistor underneath unit base pan lip on
control box side of unit as shown in Fig. 17. Attach to base pan
with adhesive tape or other field expedient means.
IMPORTANT: If outdoor air thermistor is not properly placed
underneath base pan, unit may have nuisance thermistor out of
range faults.
Step 14—Final Checks
IMPORTANT: Before leaving job, be sure to do the following:
1. Ensure that all wiring and tubing is secure in unit before
adding panels and covers. Securely fasten all panels and
covers.
2. Tighten service valve stem caps to 1/12-turn past finger tight.
3. Leave User’s Manual with owner. Explain system operation
and periodic maintenance requirements outlined in manual.
4. Fill out Dealer Installation Checklist and place in customer
file.
