Pressure Switch Circuit
The defrost control incorporates a pressure switch circuit that
allows the application of an optional high pressure switch. See
“Defrost Control Board” in “Adjusting Defrost System.” During a
demand cycle, the defrost control will lock out the heat pump if
the optional high pressure switch opens. The diagnostic LEDs will
display a pattern for an open high pressure switch. See
“Diagnostic LEDs” in “Troubleshooting the Defrost System.”
The heat pump will remain locked out until the switch resets or is
reset.
Remove the factory-installed jumper before connecting the
optional high pressure switch to the control board.
NOTE: If not using a pressure switch, the factory-installed jumper
wire must be connected.
