Operation 

 
Unit  operations  should  be  controlled  with 
the  controller,  never  at  the  main  power 
supply,  except  for  servicing,  emergency  or 
complete shutdown of the unit.

Temperature Control 
When the space temperature has deviated ½ 
of the space temperature deadband above the 
cooling  space  temperature  setpoint  the 
variable  capacity  scroll  compressor  is 
activated  at  100%  for  one  minute.  The 
compressor  then  modulates  to  maintain  the 
cooling space temperature setpoint. 
 
For  heat  pump  units  with  the  controller 
configured  for  the  reversing  valve  to  be 
activated  during  the  cooling  mode  of 
operation,  all  reversing  valves  are  activated 
along  with  the  variable  capacity  scroll 
compressor. 
 
For  units  with  two  stage  cooling,  if  the 
variable capacity scroll compressor operates 
at  a  maximum  capacity  for  a  compressor 
stage  delay  amount  of  time  and  the  space 
temperature  is  increasing  the  second 
compressor  is  activated  and  the  variable 
capacity  scroll  compressor  modulates  to 
maintain  the  cooling  space  temperature 
setpoint. 
 
For  units  with  two  stage  cooling,  if  the 
variable capacity scroll compressor operates 
at  a  minimum  capacity  for  the  compressor 
stage  delay  amount  of  time  and  the  space 
temperature  is  decreasing  the  second 
compressor  is  de-activated.  The  variable 
capacity  scroll  compressor  then  modulates 
to  maintain  the  cooling  space  temperature 
setpoint. 
 
As  the  space  temperature  achieves  the 
cooling space temperature setpoint minus ½ 
of  the  space  temperature  deadband  the
