- Second stage heat (heat pump function only)
•
O
- Reversing valve (energized for cooling) (heat pump function only)
The PLC has indicator LED’s that show the status of all thermostat inputs and
sensors. For example, if the “G” LED is on, this means that voltage is present from
the “G” terminal on the thermostat.
Scholar III™ heat pump and air conditioner sensor or control inputs:
•
HPS
– High Refrigerant Pressure Switch. The HPS is ON during normal
allowing the compressor to restart only after a selected time interval has passed
from compressor shutdown. The timer begins when the compressor turns off. The
time interval is from 3 seconds to eight minutes in one minute increments. The three-
second setting is used only for factory testing and should NEVER be used when
installed in a classroom. Select the desired time interval by rotating the knob to the
desired setting. The Marvair
®
factory set point is 3 minutes.
The
Defrost Timer (DFT)
(heat pump function only)
is located next to the three
position micro switch. The defrost control is based upon both time and temperature.
The DFT initiates a defrost cycle whenever the outdoor coil temperature is 28°F
or below and the selected time interval from the previous defrost cycle has been
exceeded. Select the desired time interval by turning the DFT knob. When turned
completely to the left (counterclockwise), the time interval between defrost cycles
is 30 minutes. When turned completely to the right (clockwise), the time interval is
90 minutes. The knob allows setting the defrost time anywhere between 30 and 90
minutes, i.e., mid-way between the 30 and 90 minutes is 60 minutes. The Marvair
®
factory set point is 30 minutes.
PLC Inputs & Outputs
The PLC has inputs located along the bottom of the controller and outputs along
the top of the controller. An input is a signal to the PLC from either the thermostat,
sensors in the Scholar III™ heat pump or air conditioner, or a customer supplied
input, e.g., DDC. An output is a signal from the PLC to the heat pump, air conditioner
or to the thermostat.
PLC Inputs
The PLC inputs are powered only by 24 VAC. The thermostat inputs are:
•
G
- Blower signal from thermostat
•
Y
- Compressor
