Crankcase Heater, Checkout and Status / Error Codes
OPERATION:
CRANKCASE HEATER (HR1)
Compressors in all units are equipped with a 40 or 70 watt (depending on unit size) belly-band type crankcase heater. The
heater prevents liquid from accumulating in the compressor. The heater is controlled by the crankcase heater thermostat.
CRANKCASE HEATER THERMOSTAT (S40)
Crankcase heater thermostat S40 controls the crankcase heater in all units and is located on the liquid line (see figure 2 on
page 6 for location).
1. When liquid line temperature drops below 50°F, the thermostat closes which results in the heater being energized.
2. When liquid line temperature rises above 70°F, the thermostat opens which results in the heater being de-energized.
