Defrost System
Low Pressure Switch
The HPXA12 is equipped with an auto−reset low pressure
switch which is located on the vapor line. The switch shuts
off the compressor when the vapor pressure falls below the
factory setting. This switch is ignored during defrost opera-
tion and when the outdoor temperature goes below 15°F.
The switch closes when it is exposed to 60 psig and opens
at 25 psig. It is not adjustable.
High Pressure Switch
The HPXA12 is equipped with an auto−reset high pressure
switch (single−pole, single−throw) which is located on the
liquid line. The switch shuts off the compressor when dis-
charge pressure rises above the factory setting. The switch
is normally closed and is permanently adjusted to trip
(open) at 640 + 10 psig (4412 + 69 kPa).
NOTE − A Schrader core is under the pressure switches.
