Figure 7 shows a schematic of a heat pump on the cooling 

cycle and the heating cycle. In addition to a reversing 

valve, a heat pump is equipped with an expansion device 

and check valve for the indoor coil, and similar equipment 

for the outdoor coil. It is also provided with a defrost control 

system. The expansion devices are flowrator distributors 

and perform the same function on the heating cycle as 

on the cooling cycle. The flowrator distributors also act as 

check valves to allow for the reverse of refrigerant flow.

When the heat pump is on the heating cycle, the outdoor 

coil is functioning as an evaporator. The temperature 

of the refrigerant in the outdoor coil must be below the 

temperature of the outdoor air in order to extract heat from 

the air. Thus, the greater the difference in the outdoor 

temperature and the outdoor coil temperature, the greater 

the heating capacity of the heat pump. This phenomenon 

is a characteristic of a heat pump. It is a good practice to 

provide supplementary heat for all heat pump installations 

in areas where the temperature drops below 45°F. It is also 

a good practice to provide sufficient supplementary heat 

to handle the entire heating requirement should there be a 

component failure of the heat pump, such as a compressor, 

or refrigerant leak, etc.

Since the temperature of the liquid refrigerant in the 

outdoor coil on the heating cycle is generally below 

freezing point, frost forms on the surfaces of the outdoor 

coil under certain weather conditions of  temperature and 

relative humidity. Therefore, it is necessary to reverse the 

flow of the refrigerant to provide hot gas in the outdoor coil 

to melt the frost accumulation. This is accomplished by 

reversing the heat pump to the cooling cycle. At the same 

time, the outdoor fan stops to hasten the temperature 

rise of the outdoor coil and lessen the time required for 

defrosting. The indoor blower continues to run and the 

supplementary heaters are energized.

DEFROST CONTROL

During operation the power to the circuit board is controlled 

by a temperature sensor, which is clamped to a feeder tube 

entering the outdoor coil. Defrost timing periods of 30,60 

and 90 minutes may be selected by setting the circuit 

board jumper to 30, 60 and 90 respectively. Accumulation 

of time for the timing period selected starts when the 

sensor closes (approximately 30 ± 5°F), and when the wall 

thermostat calls for heat.  At the end of the timing period, 

the unit’s defrost cycle will be initiated provided the sensor 

remains closed. When the sensor opens (approximately 60 

± 5°F), the defrost cycle is terminated and the timing period 

is reset. If the defrost cycle is not terminated due to the 

sensor temperature, a twelve minute override interrupts the 

unit’s defrost period.

SUGGESTED FIELD TESTING/

TROUBLESHOOTING

1.  Run unit in the heating mode (room thermostat 

calling for heat).

2.  Check unit for proper charge. Note: Bands of frost on 

the condenser coil indicate low refrigerant charge.

3. 

Shut off power to unit.

4.  Disconnect outdoor fan by removing the outdoor fan 

motor wire from “DF2” on defrost control.

5.  Restart unit and allow frost to accumulate.

6.  After a few minutes of operation, the unit’s defrost 

thermostat should close. To verify this, check for 

24 volts between “DFT” and “C” on board. If the 

temperature at the thermostat is less than 28°F and 

the thermostat is open, replace the unit’s defrost 

thermostat, as it is defective.

7.  When the unit’s defrost thermostat has closed, short 

the test pins on the defrost board until the reversing 

valve shifts, indicating defrost. This should take up 

to 22 seconds depending on what timing period the 

control is set on. After defrost initiation, the short 

must instantly be removed or the unit’s defrost period 

will only last 3 seconds.

8.  The control is shipped from the factory with the 

compressor delay option selected. This will de-

energize the compressor contactor for 30 seconds 

on defrost initiation and defrost termination. If 

the jumper is set to Normal, the compressor will 

continue to run during defrost initiation and defrost 

termination. The control will also ignore the low 

pressure switch connected to R-PS1 and PS2 for 5 

minutes upon defrost initiation and 5 minutes after 

defrost termination.

9.  After the unit’s defrost thermostat has terminated, 

check the defrost thermostat for 24 volts between 

“DFT” and “C”. The reading should indicate 0 volts 

(open sensor).

10. 

Shut off power to unit.

11.  Replace outdoor fan motor lead to terminal “DF2” on 

defrost board and turn on power.

AIR FLOW MEASUREMENT 

AND ADJUSTMENT

After reviewing section on DUCTING, proceed with airflow 

measurements and adjustments. Unit’s blower curves 

(in Specification Sheets) are based on external static 

pressure (ESP, in. of W.C.). The duct openings on the unit 

are considered internal static pressure, so as long as ESP 

is maintained, the unit will deliver the proper air up to the 

maximum static pressure listed for the CFM required by the 

application (i.e. home, building, etc.).
