Low Ambient Control (LAC)
The low ambient control is a pressure switch that is
attached to the liquid line of the system and monitors
high side system pressure. Operation of the LAC occurs
as outdoor temperatures drop below 60ºF. LAC operation
cycles the condenser fan on/off based on outdoor
temperature.
Outdoor Temperature Switch and Freeze Protection
Thermostat
An outdoor temperature switch and an evaporator
freeze protection thermostat is supplied with all units
that have a low ambient control. The outdoor switch
disables Balanced Climate mode (if enabled) when
the temperature drops below 50ºF. This prevents
potential evaporator coil freeze up issues. For units
with mechanical dehumidification, this switch must
remain disconnected when Balanced Climate mode
is not being used. Refer to unit wiring diagram. The
freeze thermostat cuts out compressor operation if the
evaporator begins to freeze up.
