DB7110U UNIVERSAL HEAT PUMP DEFROST CONTROLLER
34-00032—01 4
Fig. 8. Wiring diagram for simple timer applications.
CONFIGURATION
1. Connect power.
2. On power up the display will briefly flash the 
software version of the DB7110U and then begin 
cycling between the normal operating screens 
showing the current mode and the values of the 
two temperature sensors. Note that there is brief 
startup delay following power up where com-
pressor operation is prohibited.
Fig. 9. 
The displayed coil and air temperature readings 
can be very useful for optimizing and trouble-
shooting defrost performance.
3. There are several configurable options to opti-
mize defrost performance. See “User Interface” 
on page 7 for a detailed description of each 
parameter/screen. Press the select (o) button 
advance through the various screens and  and 
 buttons to adjust the various parameters. 
Table 4 below describes each parameter.
CHECKOUT
1. After the startup delay has expired, generate a 
request for heat by shorting R to Y (and R to O if 
configured as a “B” system, reversing valve ener-
gized in heating mode). 
2. Verify the compressor, fan, and reversing valve (if 
applicable) are energized. 
3. Press and hold the  button until “tESt” appears 
on the display as shown below. 
 
Fig. 10. 
4. Verify the unit enters defrost mode
Fig. 11. 
The reversing valve will change states and the 
aux heat will be energized. A few moments later 
the fan will be turned off. If Reversing Delay is 
enabled, the compressor will be turned off for 
the selected time, and then turn back on to 
reduce noise.
The DB7110U will remain in defrost for at least 
one minute. After one minute has elapsed, the 
DB7110U will exit defrost after the coil tempera-
ture has risen above the termination 
temperature or after the selected defrost time, 
whichever comes first.
Test mode can be terminated at any time by 
pressing and holding the  button again.
