Thermostat / Compressor Operation
The compressor operation is controlled according to thermostat calls.
- After a power cycle, when the unit receives a Y1 signal, Compressor A is delayed for 3 minutes to start.
- After the first Y1 call, each subsequent Y1 call has a 7-minute delay.
- When the unit receives a Y2 signal, after compressor A is turned on, compressor B is delayed for 3 seconds to start.
- When the unit just receives a Y1 signal, only one compressor turned on, compressor A and compressor B are rotated according to the running time. (Running times are tracked in the board and cannot be viewed).
Note:
You will get an Eb Error Code if you give the board an invalid thermostat call.
Eb is a unit lock-out and requires a power cycle to clear.
Below are examples of invalid thermostat calls:
- Y1 without a G
- W1 without a G
- Y2 before Y1
- Heat and Cool call at the same time.
