IMPORTANT INSTALLER NOTE
For improved start-up performance, wash the indoor
coil with a dish washing detergent.
HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH
The WE482, WE602 and WE701 models are supplied
with a remote reset high pressure switch. If tripped, this
pressure switch may be reset by turning the thermostat
off then back on again.
CONDENSER FAN OPERATION
The condenser fan motor on 230/208 volt, one and three
phase 50 Hz models must have fan motor wired on low
speed. These models are factory wired on low speed.
SERVICE HINTS
1. Caution homeowner to maintain clean air filters at
all times. Also, not to needlessly close off supply
and return air registers. This reduces air flow
through the system, which shortens equipment
service life as well as increasing operating costs.
2. Switching to heating cycle at 75° F or higher outside
temperature may cause a nuisance trip of the remote
reset high pressure switch. Turn thermostat off then
on to reset the high pressure switch.
3. Check all power fuses or circuit breakers to be sure
they are the correct rating.
4. Periodic cleaning of the outdoor coil to permit full
and unrestricted airflow circulation is essential.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
COOLING
– Circuit R-Y makes at thermostat pulling
in compressor contactor, starting the compressor and
outdoor motor. The G (indoor motor) circuit is
automatically completed on any call for cooling
operation or can be energized by manual fan switch on
subbase for constant air circulation. On all 230 volt
units there is a one minute off delay on the blower
motor. 460 volt models do not have an off delay.
HEATING
– Circuit R-W1 make at the thermostat
pulling in heat contact for the strip heat and blower
operation. On a call for second stage heat, R-W2 makes
bringing on second heat contactor, if so equipped.
COMPRESSOR CONTROL MODULE
The compressor control module is standard on all
models covered by this manual. The compressor control
is an anti-short cycle/lockout timer with high and low
pressure switch monitoring and alarm relay output.
Adjustable Delay On Make And Break Timer
On initial power up or any time power is interrupted to
the unit the
delay on make
period begins which will be
2 minutes plus 10% of the
delay on break
setting. When
the delay on make is complete and the high pressure
switch (and low pressure switch, if employed) is closed,
the compressor contactor is energized. Upon shutdown
the delay on break timer starts and prevents restart until
the delay on break and delay on make periods have
expired.
During routine operation of the unit with no power
interruptions, the compressor will operate on demand
with no delay.
High Pressure Switch and Lockout Sequence
If the high pressure switch opens, the compressor
contactor will de-energize immediately. The lockout
timer will go into a
soft lockout
and stay in soft lockout
until the high pressure switch closes
and
the delay on
break time has expired. If the high pressure switch
opens again in this same operating cycle, the unit will
go into
manual lockout
condition and the alarm relay
circuit will energize. Recycling the wall thermostat
resets the manual lockout.
Low Pressure Switch, Bypass, and Lockout
Sequence (OPTIONAL)
If the low pressure switch opens for more than 120
seconds, the compressor contactor will de-energize and
go into a soft lockout. Regardless the state of the low
pressure switch, the contactor will reenergize after the
delay on make time delay has expired. If the low
pressure switch remains open, or opens again for longer
than 120 seconds the unit will go into manual lockout
condition and the alarm relay circuit will energize.
Recycling the wall thermostat resets the manual lockout.
Alarm Relay Output
Alarm terminal is output connection for applications
where alarm relay is employed. This terminal is
powered whenever compressor is locked out due to HPC
or LPC sequences as described.
NOTE: Both high and low pressure switch controls are
inherently automatic reset devices. The high
pressure switch and low pressure switch cut out
and cut in settings are fixed by specific air
conditioner unit model. The lockout features,
both soft and manual, are a function of the
Compressor Control Module.
