DEFROSTCYCLE- if outdoor ambient conditions are such that frost forms on theoutdoorcoil, the defrost control
monitorsthe need for andinitiatesandterminates defrostcycles as neccessaryto maintain systemperformance. The
defrost controlis time/temperature initiated and temperatureterminatedwith a maximum defrost time (time-out) of
10 minutes. Time betweendefrost cycles is pre-set at 60 minute intervals at the factory, but can be field adjusted to
30, 80, or 90 minutes. Seeillustralion for field adjustment of defrost timing. For best performancein RegionIV, the
PWC242defrost interval should be adjusted to 30 minutes.
