WARNING:

 

Turn off electric power 

at the fuse box or service panel before making 

any electrical connections� Also, the ground 

connection must be completed before making line 

voltage connections� Failure to do so can result in 

electrical shock, severe personal injury, or death� 

Time Delay Control (TDC)

The time delay (TDC) is in the low voltage control 

circuit� When the compressor shuts off due to a 

power failure or thermostat operation, this control 

keeps it off at least 5 minutes which allows the 

system pressure to equalize, thus not damaging 

the compressor or blowing fuses on start-up�

Remote Outdoor 

Temperature Model  

(Part No. 47-102709-03)

This is a kit that has a longer remote sensor that 

can be installed away from the outdoor unit for 

better thermostat temperature display�

Heat Pump Thermostat 

Warning Light Kit RXPX-D01

This component senses a compressor lock out 

and tells the thermostat service light to come on� 

This will let the homeowner know that service is 

needed on the system�
NOTE:

 Warning light on thermostat will come on 

during a 5 minute compressor time delay and for 

5 seconds during defrost while the compressor is 

off� Homeowner should only be concerned if light 

stays on for more than 5 minutes�

Low Ambient Control (LAC) 

(Part No. RXAD-A08)

This component senses compressor head 

pressure and shuts the heat pump fan off when 

the head pressure drops to approximately 250 

PSIG� This allows the unit to build a sufficient head 

pressure at lower outdoor ambient (down to 0°F 

[-18°C]) in order to maintain system balance and 

obtain improved capacity� Low ambient control 

should be used on all equipment operated below 

70°F [21°C} ambient�
