High and Low Pressure Switch

All J**H Series wall-mounted heat pump models are 
supplied with a remote reset for the high and low 
pressure switch. If tripped, this pressure switch may be 
reset by turning the thermostat off then back on again.

Three Phase Scroll Compressor Start 

Up Information

Scroll compressors, like several other types of 
compressors, will only compress in one rotational 
direction. Direction of rotation is not an issue with 
single phase compressors since they will always start 
and run in the proper direction.
However, three phase compressors will rotate in either 
direction depending upon phasing of the power. 
Since there is a 50-50 chance of connecting power 
in such a way as to cause rotation in the reverse 
direction, verification of proper rotation must be made. 
Verification of proper rotation direction is made by 
observing that suction pressure drops and discharge 
pressure rises when the compressor is energized. 
Reverse rotation also results in an elevated sound level 
over that with correct rotation, as well as substantially 
reduced current draw compared to tabulated values.
Verification of 

proper rotation

 must be made at the time 

the equipment is put into service. If improper rotation 
is corrected at this time, there will be no negative 
impact on the durability of the compressor. However, 
reverse operation for over 1 hour may have a negative 
impact on the bearing due to oil pump out.

NOTE:

  If compressor is allowed to run in reverse 

rotation for several minutes, the compressor’s 

internal protector will trip.

All three phase ZP compressors are wired identically 
internally. As a result, once the correct phasing is 
determined for a specific system or installation, 
connecting properly phased power leads to the same 
Fusite terminal should maintain proper rotation 
direction.
The direction of rotation of the compressor may be 
changed by reversing any two line connections to the 
unit.

Phase Monitor

All units with three phase scroll compressors are 
equipped with a three phase line monitor to prevent 
compressor damage due to phase reversal.
The phase monitor in this unit is equipped with two 
LEDs. If the Y signal is present at the phase monitor 
and phases are correct, the green LED will light.
If phases are reversed, the red fault LED will be lit and 
compressor operation is inhibited.
If a fault condition occurs, reverse two of the supply 
leads to the unit. 

Do not reverse any of the unit factory 

wires as damage may occur.

Condenser Fan Operation

NOTE:

 Certain models may be equipped with a low 

ambient control (LAC), and if so, the condenser fan 

motor will have a delayed start until system refrigerant 

operating pressure builds up. After starting, the fan 

motor may or may not cycle depending upon ambient 

conditions. This is normal operation.

Sequence of Operation

Cooling

Circuit R-Y1 makes at thermostat pulling in compressor 
contactor, starting the compressor and outdoor motor. 
(See 

NOTE

 under 

CONDENSER FAN OPERATION

 

concerning models equipped with low ambient control.)
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. 

Heating

A 24V solenoid coil on reversing valve controls heating 
cycle operation. Two thermostat options, one allowing 
“Auto” changeover from cycle to cycle and the other 
constantly energizing solenoid coil during heating 
season—thus eliminating pressure equalization noise 
except during defrost, are to be used. 
On “Auto” option a circuit is completed from R-B/W1 and 
R-Y1 on each heating “on” cycle, energizing reversing 
valve solenoid and pulling in compressor contactor 
starting compressor and outdoor motor. R-G also make 
starting indoor blower motor. Heat pump heating cycle 
now in operation.
The second option has no “Auto” changeover position, but 
instead energizes the reversing valve solenoid constantly 
whenever the system switch on subbase is placed in 
“Heat” position, the “B” terminal being constantly 
energized from R. A thermostat demand for heat 
completes R-Y1 circuit, pulling in compressor contactor 
starting compressor and outdoor motor. R-G also make 
starting indoor blower motor.
On a call for 2nd stage heating, circuit R-W2 makes 
at the thermostat pulling in the heat contactor for the 
strip heat and blower operation. On a call for third 
stage heat, R-B/W1 breaks, dropping out heat pump, 
and R-W3 makes, bringing on second heat contactor, if 
so equipped.

Balanced Climate

TM

 Mode

Balanced Climate™ is a great comfort feature that can 
easily be applied under any normal circumstances. If 
the air conditioning system is being set up in a typical 
environment where 72°F is the lowest cooling setpoint, 
remove the Y1/Y2 jumper and install a 2-stage cooling 
thermostat. This will increase the humidity removal 
up to 35% and provide a much more comfortable 
environment.
This mode will also increase the supply temperature 
when in heating mode. When Balanced Climate mode
