signal shall be considered valid if the compressor output is energized and the
defrost signal has been active for less than 15 consecutive minutes. Any defrost
signal present for longer than 15 minutes shall be considered invalid.
Heat pump/fan coil and hybrid heat systems shall use this input to:
S
Detect that defrost is in progress and energize the auxiliary heat to
provide homeowner comfort during the defrost cycle
S
Allow a defrost cycle to run to completion regardless of the system
demand
Three--Minute Minimum on Time
In normal operation, when a stage turns on, it will not turn off for a minimum of
3 minutes. If the setpoint is changed, this timer is canceled, allowing the
equipment to turn off immediately when the demand is removed.
Heat/Cool Setpoints (Desired Temperature)
A minimum difference of 1
_
and maximum of 6
_
is enforced between heating
and cooling desired temperatures. This is done by allowing 1 setting to “push”
the other, to maintain this difference. This difference is adjustable via
Configuration Option 11.
Equipment On Indicators
When cooling equipment is on, a COOL ON icon is displayed. While cooling
equipment operation is delayed by the time guard or cycle timer, COOL ON will
flash. The same is true for HEAT ON icon.
During second stage compressor operation a “2” will be displayed with the
HEAT ON or COOL ON icon. This is displayed when the Thermidistat Control
is configured as H2, A2, or h2.
When the W is energized in a heat pump or Hybrid Heat system, the “auxiliary
heat on” icon will be displayed.
