7.1 Demand Defrost
Control
When the thermostat calls for cooling, the demand
defrost control monitors the outdoor ambient
temperature, outdoor coil temperature and the

cycle is required.

The control cycles the compressor off for 30
seconds at the beginning and the end of the

continue until 14 minutes has elapsed or the coil
temperature has reached the selected termination
temperature. The factory setting is 70°F [21.1°C]
but can be changed to 50°F [10°C], 60°F [15.6°C]
or 80°F [26.7°C] by relocating the jumper on the
control board.
Temperature Sensors
The coil sensor is located on the outdoor coil at
the point fed by the distribution tubes from the
metering device (short 3/8” dia. Tube). The ambient

heat pump heating call to enter the test mode. In
this mode of operation, the enable temperature
is ignored and all timers are sped up. To initiate
a manual defrost, short and hold the TEST pins.

has been reached.
Test Sequence of Operation:
1) Provide a heating call to the heat pump.
2) Short test pins to bypass anti-short cycle timer.
(If unit is running, this step is not necessary.)
3) Short test pins and hold them shorted to enter
defrost mode.
4) Release test pins once control exits noise

6) Unit should return to heating mode.
Troubleshooting Demand Defrost
During the test mode the coil temperature should
be monitored. If the system exits defrost at
approximately the termination temperature, the
control is operating normally.

resistance of the sensor should be approximately

Ensure that the coil sensor is properly installed that
it is not loose or touching the cabinet.
