(CONTROL IN DEMAND
MODE)
The demand defrost control is considered uncalibrated when:
S
24VAC power is applied to demand defrost control during initial start up, or any other time
that power is reapplied to the demand defrost control.
S
After being in cooling mode
The demand defrost control will perform a sacrificial power defrost after thirty (30) minutes of ac-
cumulated compressor runtime in the first heat pump heating demand with the coil temperature
below 35ºF (1.6ºC). This will ensure a clear outdoor coil before an attempt to calibrate the demand
defrost control.
S
When the heat pump comes out of inactive mode.
The demand defrost control will perform a sacrificial power defrost. This will ensure a clear out-
door coil before an attempt to calibrate the demand defrost control.
NOTE If the heat pump is running in a gas furnace heating demand when the heat pump comes out of inactive mode, the demand defrost control will
cycle the gas furnace OFF and cycle the heat pump ON. On this first call for heat pump heating the demand defrost control will initiate a sacrificial defrost to
ensure a clear outdoor coil before an attempt to calibrate the demand defrost control.
