EVOLUTION CONTROLLED LOW AMBIENT COOLING
NOTE
: When this unit is operating below 55
_
F (13
°
C) outdoor
temperature, provisions must be made for low ambient operation.
This unit is capable of low ambient cooling down to 0
_
F (--18
°
C).
ONLY when using the Evolution control. A low ambient kit is not
required, and the outdoor fan motor does not need to be replaced
for Evolution controlled low ambient operation.
Low ambient
cooling must be enabled in the UI set--up.
Fan may not begin to
cycle until about 40
_
F (4
°
C).OAT. Fan will cycle based on coil
and outdoor air temperature. Evolution controlled low ambient
mode operates as follows:
S
In high stage, fan is off when outdoor coil temp is <outdoor air
temperature plus 3
_
F (1.7
_
C) or outdoor fan has been ON for 30
minutes. (Fan is turned off to allow refrigerant system to
stabilize.)
S
In low stage, fan is off when outdoor coil temp is <outdoor air
temperature plus 1
_
F (.6
_
C) or outdoor fan has been ON for 30
minutes. (Fan is turned off to allow refrigerant system to
stabilize.)
S
In high stage and low stage, fan is on when outdoor coil temp >
outdoor air temperature plus 25
_
F (13.8
_
C) or outdoor coil temp
> 80
_
F (27
_
C) or if outdoor fan has been OFF for 30 minutes.
(Fan is turned on to allow refrigerant system to stabilize.)
S
Low--pressure switch is ignored for first 3 minutes during low
ambient start up. After 3 minutes, if LPS trips, then outdoor fan
motor is turned off for 10 minutes with the compressor running. If
LPS closes within 10 minutes then cooling continues with the
outdoor fan cycling per the coil temperature routine listed above
for the remainder of the cooling cycle. If the LPS does not close
within 10 minutes, then the normal LPS trip response (shut down
cooling operation and generate LPS trip error) will occur.
DEHUMIDIFICATION MODE
This Evolution system can be used to dehumidify the living space.
See UI Installation Instructions for more details.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION--GAS HEAT
NOTE
: Evolution control must be grounded for proper operation
or control will lock out.
NOTE
: If a power interruption occurs during a call for heat, the
control will start a 90--second blower only ON period two seconds
after power is restored, if the UI is still calling for gas heating. The
amber LED light will flash code 12 during the 90--second period,
after which the LED will be ON continuously, as long as no faults
are detected. After the 90--second period, the unit will respond to
the UI normally.
GAS HEAT MODE AND ADJUSTMENTS
When the UI calls for gas heat, the Evolution furnace board
performs a self--check, verifies the pressure switch is open, and
starts the inducer on high speed.
1. Inducer Pre--purge Period: When the inducer motor comes
up on high speed, the pressure switch closes, and the
Evolution ignition control on the furnace board begins a 15
second pre--purge period. If the pressure switch fails to
remain closed, the inducer will remain running. After the
pressure switch re--closes, the Evolution ignition control
will begin a 15 second pre--purge period.
2. Trial--For--Ignition Sequence: The spark igniter will spark
for 3 seconds. The main gas valve relay contact closes to
energize the gas valve on low stage. After 5 seconds, the
igniter is de--energized and a 2--second flame--proving
period begins. NOTE: The unit always lights on high
speed inducer and low stage gas valve operation.
3. Flame--Proving: When the burner flame is proved at the
flame--proving sensor, the furnace control determines what
heating stage to run based on feedback from the UI. If the
UI is asking for low stage gas heat, the ignition control will
change the inducer speed to low speed and keep the gas
valve energized on low stage. If the UI is asking for high
stage gas heat, the ignition control will maintain running the
inducer on high speed and energize the gas valve’s high
stage relay to increase gas flow.
If the burner flame is not proved within 2 seconds, the control will
close the gas valve and repeat the ignition sequence up to 3 more
Trials--For--Ignition before going to Ignition--Lockout. Lockout
will reset automatically after 3 hours, by momentarily interrupting
230 VAC power, or by interrupting 24 VAC power at SEC1 or
SEC2 to the furnace board.
If flame is proved when there should be no flame present, control
will lock out of Gas--Heating mode and operate the inducer motor
until flame is no longer proved.
4. Blower--On Delay:
If the burner flame is proven,
approximately 37 seconds after the gas valve is opened the
Indoor Blower is turned on to the appropriate speed for the
gas heating stage.
Simultaneously, the humidifier terminal HUM and electronic air
cleaner terminal EAC--1 are energized throughout the heating
cycle.
NOTE
:
EAC--2 terminal is common with L2 and will have
115VAC--to--ground when unit is powered.
5. Blower--Off Delay: When the call for gas heat is satisfied,
the gas valve is de--energized, stopping the flow of gas to
the burners, and de--energizing the HUM terminal. The
inducer motor will remain on for a 4--second post--purge
period. The indoor blower and air cleaner terminal EAC--1
will remain energized for 90, 120, 150, or 180 seconds
(depending on selection of blower--off delay selected in the
UI). The factory--set default is 120--second blower--OFF
delay.
CHECK GAS INPUT (NATURAL GAS)
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in component
damage.
Do not
redrill an orifice. Improper drilling (burrs,
out--of--round holes, etc.) can cause excessive burner noise
and misdirection of burner flame. If orifice hole appears
damaged or it is suspected to have been redrilled, check
orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of correct size.
!
CAUTION
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death and/or property damage.
DO NOT bottom out gas valve regulator adjusting screws.
This can result in unregulated manifold pressure and result
in excess overfire and heat exchanger failures.
