Verifying High and Low Pressure Switch Operation


OPERATION :
The unit's pressure switches (LO PS - S87 and HI PS - S4) are factory-wired into the control on the LO-PS and HI-PS termin­
als, respectively.
Low Pressure Switch (LO-PS) — See figure 29 for low pressure switch sequence of operation.
High Pressure Switch (HI-PS) — See figure 30 for high pressure switch sequence of operation.
Pressure Switch Event Settings
The following pressures are the auto-reset event value triggers for low and high pressure thresholds:
D High Pressure (auto-reset) - trip at 590 psig; reset at 418.
D Low Pressure (auto-reset) - trip at 40 psig; reset at 90.
CHECKOUT
Using a multimeter set to ohms with the terminals disconnected from the control board, check the resistance between the
two terminals of the pressure switch. If the resistance reading is 0 ohms, the switch is closed.

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.

Figure 37. Checking Belly-Band Crankcase Heater


Crankcase Heater Thermostat: As the detected temperature changes, the resistance across the sensor changes. Table
15 on page 68 shows how the resistance varies as the temperature changes for this sensor.

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.

STATUS OR ERROR CODES:
There is no feedback from the outdoor fan motor to the outdoor control therefore no status or error codes are displayed on
either the outdoor control or iComfort Wi-Fi® room thermostat.
NOTE - If the outdoor fan does not operate at the correct RPM, or does not start, the system will shut be down by other
protection components such as the high and low pressure switches which will generate error code(s).
Ferrites
Electronic cabling and wires, by virtue of their length­to­width ratios, are perfect natural antennas. In the presence of
high­speed microprocessor signals, cables will conduct, radiate, and receive unwanted high­frequency signals. Use an in­
sertion-loss device, such as a ferrite suppressor as shown below, to control radio-frequency (RF) interference.

Ferrites are consistently stable over time and


over wide temperature ranges, and provide RF
suppression without causing large current
losses.

Unit Sensor Operations, Checkout and Status / Error Codes


OPERATION
Pins 5 and 6 (No Sensor)
There is no sensor located on positions 5 and 6 of the connector. A resistor installed between pins 5 and 6 on the cable
harness provides continuity for this circuit. This resistor (location shown in figure 51) provides resistance value between
314669 and 3779 ohms . If the resistor becomes damaged or lost, the outdoor control generates a false error code indicating
the coil temperature sensor is out of range or faulty (see table 15 on page 68). If resistor is damaged or missing, order re­
placement harness assembly (101334-05).
Ambient Temperature Sensor (RT13)
Ambient temperatures, as read by the ambient temperature sensor (shown in figure 51) which are below -35°F (-37°C) or
above 120°F (48°C) trigger a fault condition. If the ambient sensor is open, shorted, or out of the temperature range of the
sensor, the control does not perform demand defrost operation. The control reverts to time/temperature defrost operation
and displays the appropriate alert code (see table 15 on page 68). Heating and cooling operation is allowed in this fault
condition.

Liquid line temperatures below -40°F (-40°C) or above 140°F (60°C) trigger a fault condition and result in the appropriate
alarm code (see table15 on page 68). The outdoor control uses the liquid line sensor to change the fan speed, allowing
cooling operation at lowered ambient temperatures.

CHECKOUT
Sensors connect to the outdoor control through a field‐replaceable harness assembly that plugs into the outdoor control.
Through the sensors, the control detects outdoor ambient, coil and liquid temperature fault conditions. As the detected tem­
perature changes, the resistance across the sensor changes. Check sensor operation by reading ohms across pins shown
in figure 50.
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 figure 50, may be performing as designed. However, if a shorted or open circuit is detected, then the sensor
may be faulty and the sensor harness will need to be replaced.

DC Inverter Control Operation, Checkout, Status / Error Codes


OPERATION OF COMPONENTS:
Electromagnetic compatibility circuit (EMC): EMC ensures the correct operation of different equipment items which use or
respond to electromagnetic phenomena. It also helps to negate the effects of interference. NOTE - The 2- and 3-ton inverter
has an EMC built­in. The 4- and 5-ton units have an external inverter.
CONVERTER:
Converts AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current).
POWER FACTOR CORRECTION (PFC) CIRCUIT:
The PFC module is an integrated part of the outdoor inverter that monitors the DC bus for high, low and abnormal voltage
conditions. If any of these conditions are detected, the PFC function and compressor will stop.
INTELLIGENT (INVERTER) POWER MODULE (IPM):
The IPM converts DC power into AC power. The control method is known as pulse width modulation (PWM). This means the
DC is switched on and off very quickly (chopped) by the transistor switches to make simulated AC at required frequency and
voltage.
COMMUNICATION CONTROL CIRCUIT:
Receives and sends message between the inverter and the outdoor control.

SUBCOOLING CHARGING METHOD either at maximum speed or 100% demand.)
1. THE DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN ON THE THERMOSTAT OR OUTDOOR CONTROL 7-SEGMENT DISPLAY WILL SHOW INDOOR AND
OUTDOOR MOTOR CFMS OR RPMS.
2. MEASURE OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE; DETERMINE WHETHER TO USE COOLING MODE OR HEATING MODE TO
CHECK CHARGE.
3. CONNECT GAUGE SET.
4. CHECK LIQUID AND VAPOR LINE PRESSURES. COMPARE PRESSURES WITH EITHER HEAT OR COOLING MODE NORMAL
OPERATING PRESSURES IN THE APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER, NORMAL OPERATING PRESSURES, HIGH STAGE.
NOTE - THE REFERENCE TABLE IS A GENERAL GUIDE. EXPECT MINOR PRESSURE VARIATIONS. SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES MAY MEAN IMPROPER CHARGE OR OTHER SYSTEM PROBLEM.
5. SET THERMOSTAT FOR HEAT/COOL DEMAND, DEPENDING ON MODE BEING USED:
USE
COOLING USING COOLING MODE — WHEN THE OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS 60°F (15°C) AND ABOVE. TARGET
MODE SUBCOOLING VALUES (SECOND STAGE - HIGH CAPACITY) IN APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER ARE BASED ON 70 TO
60ºF 80°F (21-27°C) INDOOR RETURN AIR TEMPERATURE; IF NECESSARY, OPERATE HEATING TO REACH THAT
(15ºC) TEMPERATURE RANGE; THEN SET THERMOSTAT TO COOLING MODE SETPOINT TO 68ºF (20ºC) WHICH SHOULD CALL
FOR SECOND-STAGE (HIGH STAGE) COOLING. WHEN PRESSURES HAVE STABILIZED, CONTINUE WITH STEP 6.
USE
HEATING USING HEATING MODE — WHEN THE OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 60°F (15°C). TARGET
MODE SUBCOOLING VALUES (SECOND-STAGE - HIGH CAPACITY) IN APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER ARE BASED ON 65-75°F
(18-24°C) INDOOR RETURN AIR TEMPERATURE; IF NECESSARY, OPERATE COOLING TO REACH THAT TEMPERATURE
RANGE; THEN SET THERMOSTAT TO HEATING MODE SETPOINT TO 77ºF (25ºC) WHICH SHOULD CALL FOR
SECOND-STAGE (HIGH STAGE) HEATING. WHEN PRESSURES HAVE STABILIZED, CONTINUE WITH STEP 6.
6. READ THE LIQUID LINE TEMPERATURE; RECORD IN THE LIQº SPACE.
7. READ THE LIQUID LINE PRESSURE; THEN FIND ITS CORRESPONDING TEMPERATURE IN THE TEMPERATURE/ PRESSURE
CHART LISTED IN THE APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER AND RECORD IT IN THE SATº SPACE.
8. SUBTRACT LIQº TEMPERATURE FROM SATº TEMPERATURE TO DETERMINE SUBCOOLING; RECORD IT IN SCº SPACE.
SATº 9. COMPARE SCº RESULTS WITH APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER, BEING SURE TO NOTE ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR
LIQº – LINE SET AND/OR MATCH-UP.
10. IF SUBCOOLING VALUE IS GREATER THAN SHOWN IN APPLICABLE CHARGING STICKER FOR THE APPLICABLE UNIT,
SCº = REMOVE REFRIGERANT; IF LESS THAN SHOWN, ADD REFRIGERANT.
11. IF REFRIGERANT IS ADDED OR REMOVED, REPEAT STEPS 6 THROUGH 10 TO VERIFY CHARGE.
12. DISCONNECT GAUGE SET AND RE-INSTALL BOTH THE LIQUID AND SUCTION SERVICE VALVE CAPS.
