Heat Pump Controls
Compressor Protection

Compressor Overcurrent
The compressor has internal limbered motor protection.
Compressor Overtemperature
The compressor has an internal protector to protect it against

excessively high discharge gas temperatures.
High Pressure Switch
The system is provided with a high pressure switch mount-

ed on the discharge line. The switch is stem-mounted and

brazed into the discharge tube. Trip setting is 630 ± 10 psig

(4344 ± 69 kPa) when hot. Reset is automatic at 505 ± 20

psig (3482 ± 140 kPa).
Loss of Charge Switch
The system is protected against a loss of charge and low

evaporator coil loading condition by a loss of charge switch

located on the liquid line and a freeze protection thermostat on

the indoor coil. The switch is stem-mounted. Loss of Charge

Switch trip setting is 27 psig ± 3 psig (186 ±21 kPa). Reset is

automatic at 44 ±5 psig (303 ± 35 kPa).
Outdoor Fan Motor Protection
The outdoor fan motor is internally protected against overtem-

perature.

Control Circuit, 24-V
The control circuit is protected against overcurrent conditions

by a circuit breaker mounted on control transformer TRAN.

Reset is manual.

Crankcase Heater

The heater prevents refrigerant migration and compressor oil

dilution during shutdown whenever compressor is not operat-

ing. The heater is wired to cycle with the compressor; the heat-

er is off when compressor is running, and on when compressor

is off.
The crankcase heater will operate as long as the power circuit

is energized.

Commercial Defrost Control

The Commercial Defrost Control Board (DFB) coordinates

thermostat demands for supply fan control, 1 or 2 stage

cooling, 1 or 2 stage heating, emergency heating and defrost

control with unit operating sequences. See Fig. 22 for board

arrangement.
The DFB is located in the 38AUQ's main control box (see

Fig. 21). All connections are factory-wired. Refer to Table 12

for details of DFB Inputs and Outputs.

Table 12 —38AUQ Defrost Board I/O and Jumper Configurations

IMPORTANT: Never open any switch or disconnect that

energizes the crankcase heater unless unit is being serviced

or is to be shut down for a prolonged period. After a pro-

longed shutdown on a service job, energize the crankcase

heater for 24 hours before starting the compressor.
