Controls

The TTA/TWA unit is available with either ReliaTel™ or thermostat control. It is important to 
understand that if the staging of compressors is turned over to a third party, the compressor 
protection, provided through system stability, is also turned over to the third party. Simply stated, 
this means that when a compressor turns on, it shouldn’t turn off until the expansion valve comes 
under control. And, once the compressor turns off, it should be allowed to stay off until the crank 
case heater has warmed up. 

System stability must be programmed in the third party system control. To accomplish this, the 
system controls must incorporate a 

5-minute-on

, a 

5-minute-off,

 and a 

5-minute-interstage

 

differential on each compressor stage.
