THERMISTOR CURVE
A08054
Fig. 7 -- Resistance Values Versus Temperature
If the outdoor air or coil thermistor should fail, the control will
flash the appropriate fault code. (See Table 6.)
IMPORTANT: The outdoor air thermistor and coil thermistor
should be factory mounted in the final locations. Check to ensure
thermistors ar e mounted pr operly per Fig. 8 and Fig. 9.
Thermistor Sensor Comparison
The control continuously monitors and compares the outdoor air
temperature sensor and outdoor coil temperature sensor to ensure
proper operating conditions. The comparison is:
S In cooling ifthe outdoorair sensorindicates 10_F
(5.6_C)warmerthan thecoilsensor(or)the outdoorair
sensor indicates 20_F( 11_C) cooler than th e coil sen so r,
thesensors are out of range.
S In heating if theoutdoor air sensorindicates 35_F(
19.4_C) warmerthan thecoilsensor(or)the outdoorair
sensor indicates 10_F( 5.6_C) cooler than the coil sensor,
thesensors are out of range.
If the sensors are out of range, the control will flash the appropriate
fault code as shown in Table 6.
The thermistor comparison is not performed during low ambient
cooling or defrost operation.
Failed Thermistor Default Operation
Factory defaults have been provided in the event of failure of
outdoor air thermistor (OAT) and/or outdoor coil thermistor
(OCT).
If the OAT sensor should fail, low ambient cooling will not be
allowed and the one--minute outdoor fan off delay will not occur.
Defrost will be initiated based on coil temperature and time.
If the OCT sensor should fail, low ambient cooling will not be
allowed. Defrost will occur at each time interval during heating
operation, but will terminate after 5 minutes.
If there is a thermistor out of range error, defrost will occur at each
time interval during heating operation, but will terminate after 5
minutes.
Count the number of short and long flashes to determine the
appropriate flash code. Table 6 gives possible causes and actions
related to each error.
