Heat pump control monitors mode of
operation through outdoor ambient
temperature (RT13), outdoor coil
temperature (RT21) and compressor
run-time to determine when a defrost
cycle is required.

Calibration
Demand Mode
After the initial calibration, the heat pump con
trol disables the defrost mode for 30-34 min
utes in order to avoid unnecessary defrosts.
Beyond this timing period, both the ambient
(RT13) and coil (RT21) sensors are continu
ously monitored. If the coil temperature is be
low 35°F (2°C) and the calibration delta is
reached or accumulated compressor run-time
is more than six (6) hours, a defrost is to be initi
ated.

Coil sensor (RT21) detects temperature below 35°F {2°C}
during either initial power-up, after loss of power or after
cooling mode, a sacrificial defrost will be used to ensure there
is a clear coil before attempting calibration.
Initiate a defrost and monitor coil temperature
sensor input (RT21) and accumulate defrost time.

NOTE — No system alert codes can
be active for defrost calibration to be
achieved.
