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 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.
CHECKOUT:
Belly-Band Crankcase Heater: Using meter set on ohms, check crankcase heater resistance. If resistance is 0 ohms or
infinite, replace the crankcase heater.
NOTE - When checking the ohms across a sensor, be aware that a sensor showing a resistance value that is not within the
range shown in table 15 on page 68, may be performing as designed. However, if a shorted or open circuit is detected, the
sensor is faulty; the sensor needs to be replaced.

Some units are equipped with a compressor-mounted normally closed temperature switch that prevents compressor dam
age due to overheating caused by internal friction. The switch is located on top of the compressor casing. This switch senses
the compressor casing temperature and opens at 239-257°F to shut off compressor operation. The auto-reset switch closes
when the compressor casing temperature falls to 151-187°F, and the compressor is re-energized. This single-pole, single-

The filter is rated at 208/230 volt, 30 amp maximum, 60 Hertz.
NOTE - The 2- and 3-ton inverters have the EMC builtin. The 4- and 5-ton units have an external device (see illustration
below).
NOTE - A line filter is an electronic filter which is placed between electronic equipment and an external power source in order
to attenuate conducted radio frequency interference (RFI). RFI is also known as electromagnetic interference (EMI).
CHECKOUT:
Voltage IN should read the same value as the Voltage OUT. With filter isolated from system, resistance between L1 and L2
should be the same as resistance between N1 and N2.

Outdoor Fan Operation and Checkout
OPERATION:
These units use an integrated control and motor that is programmed for variable-capacity operation. The fan speed is
controlled by the iComfort Wi-Fi® thermostat.
CHECKOUT:
VAC Voltage Check
Check for 208/240 VAC power at inverter contactor (red wires) (see figure 46).
With unit operating, check for main VAC to motor and outdoor control VDC output to motor:
1. No voltage present – Check main power
2. Voltage present – Perform DC volt checks (19 -23 VDC between FAN PWM and COM) (see figure 46).
XC25
63
VDC Voltage Check:
Check for VDC out of Fan PWM and COM. VDC output reading is determined by the percentage of room thermostat de
mand.
1. No voltage present – Remove wires from control and check for VDC. If there is no voltage present, then replace out
door control.
2. Voltage present – Perform a 9-volt battery test on motor (see figure 47).

Outdoor Control Operation, Checkout and Status / Error Codes
OPERATION:
The outdoor control is a microprocessor-based device for use with variable-capacity compressors up to 5-tons in capacity
operating on 24VAC residential power. The outdoor control integrates the functionality of maintaining compressor speed,
demand, defrost and fan PWM controls. The outdoor control is self-configuring. During start-up the outdoor control selects
one of two configurations variable-capacity air conditioner or variable-capacity heat pump.
