a. With supply air temperature above set point and de-
creasing, the unit will be cooling with the condenser
fan motor (CF), compressor motor (CH), evaporator
fan motors (ES) energized and the COOL light illumi-
nated. (See Figure 4-7.)
b.When the air temperature decreases to a predeter-
mined tolerance above set point, the in-range light is
illuminated.

4.10.4 Sequence Of Operation -- Defrost
The defrost cycle may consist of up to three distinct
operations. The first is de-icing of the coil, the second is
a probe check cycle and the third is snap freeze.
Defrost may be requested by any one of the following
methods:
1. The manual defrost switch (MDS) is closed by the
user.
2. The user sends a defrost request by communica-
tions.
3. The defrost interval timer (controller function code
Cd27) reaches the defrost interval set by the user.
4. The controller probe diagnostic logic determines that
a probe check is necessary based on the tempera-
ture values currently reported by the supply and re-
turn probes.
5. The controller Demand Defrost configuration vari-
able (CnF40) is set to “In” and the unit has been in
pull down operation for over 2.5 hours without reach-
ing set point.

Figure 4-8 Defrost
Processing of a defrost request is controlled by the
Defrost
Termination
Thermostat.
The
Defrost
Termination Thermostat is not a physical component. It
is a software point that acts as a thermostat, allowing
defrost when it is considered “closed” and preventing or
terminating defrost when it is considered “open”. The
actual temperatures used to make the “open” or
“closed” determinations are dependent on the type of
defrost request made and the operator setting of
configuration variable CnF41. Configuration variable
CnF41may be factory set at the default value of
25.6
°
C(78
°
F) or a lower value of 18
°
C(64
°
F).
When a request for defrost is made by the use of the
Manual Defrost Switch or Communications, the unit will
enter defrost when the reading at the Defrost
Temperature Sensor is at or below the CnF41 setting.
Defrost will terminate when the Defrost Sensor
Temperature reading rises above the CnF41 setting.
When a request for defrost is made by probe check, the
unit will enter defrost when the Defrost Temperature
Sensor reading is at or below 25.6
°
C(78
°
F). The unit will
terminate defrost when the Defrost Temperature
Sensor reading rises above 25.6
°
C(78
°
F)
When a request for defrost is made by demand defrost ,
the unit will enter defrost when the reading at the Defrost
Temperature Sensor is at or below 18
°
C (64.4
°
F).
Defrost will terminate when the Defrost Sensor
Temperature reading rises above the CnF41 setting.
When a defrost has terminated, the defrost interval
timer will begin counting when the reading at the Defrost
Temperature Sensor is at or below 10
°
C(50
°
F). Once
the timer has counted the required time, the unit will
