a  jumper  wire  to  enable  this  feature.  See  Figure

Fan Control with ECM X13 Motors 
Omega utilizes the X13 ECM motor for larger sized Heat 
Pumps.  The  X13  ECM  motor  is  a  multi-voltage  motor,  
with 5  low voltage speed taps, utilizing 208VAC for  pri-
mary power and 24VAC for speed selection. 
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 
Call for Heating and Cooling  
Demand  call  for  Heating  or  Cooling  are  initiated  at  the 
thermostat.  
If a HEAT PUMP Thermostat type is used, with DIP #1 
set  to  “ON”,  control  signal  form  thermostat  to  terminal 
block sets the following: 
“Y” Terminal Closed = call for compressor. 
“O/B”  Terminal  Open  =  Reversing  Valve  De-Energized 
(call for HEATING). 
“O/B”  Terminal  Closed  =  Reversing  Valve  Energized 
(call for COOLING) 
If  a  1HEAT/1COOL  Thermostat  type  is  used,  then  DIP 
#1 should be set to OFF. Control signal form thermostat 
to terminal block sets the following: 
“Y” Terminal Closed = call for COOLING.  
“O/B” Terminal Closed = call for HEATING.  
Note: If both “Y” and “O” are closed, a call for HEATING 
is assumed. 
When a  compressor  request is  made, the  auto  shut-off 
control  valve  (COAX  Flow  valve)  will  open.    The  com-
pressor contactor will then be energized so long as none 
of the following fault conditions are present: 
•  High-Pressure Alarm 
•  Low-Pressure Alarm 
•  Condensate Over Flow Alarm (Optional) 
•  Compressor  Anti-Short  Cycle  7  min.  timer  has  not 
expired 
•  Entering Water Temperature is greater than 115
o
F 
•  Leaving Water Temperature greater than 127
o
F 
 
When  call  for  compressor  request  is  terminated,  the 
auto  shut-off  control  valve  (COAX  Flow  Valve)  and  the 
blower fan will remain open for an additional 3 minutes. 
Low-Pressure Bypass  
During a call for compressor, the low-pressure switch is 
bypassed for the first 2 minutes of compressor operation 
to prevent nuisance low-pressure start-ups. 
Timers and Interlocks  
Microprocessor  board  utilizes  a  number  of  timers  and 
interlocks in the control sequence of the unit. 
Anti-Short Cycle Timer 
The  compressor  anti-short  cycle  timer  of  7  minutes 
starts  every  time  a  call for compressor  is  terminated  to 
prevent compressor over cycling.  
Fan-On Timer 
The Fan-On timer of 3 minutes starts anytime there is a 
call for fan request.  
Fan-Off Timer 
The Fan-Off timer of 3 minutes starts anytime a call  for 
compressor is terminated to ensure fan runs for a period 
of 3 minutes after the compressor turns off. 
Valve Open Timer 
The valve  open timer of 1 minutes starts anytime a  fan 
and compressor request are made to develop flow in the 
water coil. 
Valve Closed Timer 
The valve closed timer of 1 minutes starts anytime a call 
for compressor is terminated to allow for flushing of the 
water coil. 
Random Wait Time on Unit Power Up 
Microprocessor controller uses a random  wait time dur-
ing unit start up between 1-30 seconds. 
 
9. TROUBLESHOOTING 
Refer to the Table 6: Troubleshooting Guide for identify-
ing common issues and possible resolutions. The micro-
processor control board has a number of LED lights for 
simple identification of common alarms and faults. Refer 
to Table 7. 
 
TEST MODE 
A Test mode feature can be enabled in order to perform 
diagnostic  testing of the unit. Test  mode  will  bypass  all 
unit timer delays for 10 minutes. 
To enable test mode jumper “DI1” pins on the micropro-
cessor  board.  The  unit  will  operate  in  test  mode.  Re-
move jumper from DI1 if not already done so to get out 
of test mode. Failure to  remove DI1 jumper will disable 
important  safety  controls  such  as  High  and  Low  Pres-
sure switches. 
Failure to remove DI1 jumper will disable criti-
cal  safety  controls  and  may cause equipment 
or property damage if left disabled.
