ENVISION RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION MANUAL

Startup

The unit will not operate until all the inputs and safety controls

are checked for normal conditions. At first power-up, a four-minute

delay is employed before the compressor is energized.

Component Sequencing Delays

Components are sequenced and delayed for optimum space

conditioning performance.

Accessory Relay

An accessory relay on the control board allows for field

connection of solenoid valves, electronic air cleaners, etc. The

accessory relay has a normally open output and a normally closed

output.

Short Cycle Protection

The control employs a minimum "off" time of four minutes to

provide for short cycle protection of the compressor.

Condensate Overflow Protection

The Envision control board incorporates an impedance sens-

ing liquid sensor at the top of the drain pan. Upon a continuous

30-second sensing of the condensate, compressor operation is

suspended (see Fault Retry), and the condensate overflow lockout

LED begins flashing.

Shutdown Mode

A 24VAC common signal to the “shutdown” input on the control

board puts the unit into shutdown mode. Compressor, hot water

pump and fan operation are suspended.

Safety Controls

The Envision control receives separate signals for a high

pressure switch for safety, a low pressure switch to prevent loss

of charge damage, and a low suction temperature thermistor for

freeze sensing. Upon a continuous 30-second measurement of

the fault (immediate for high pressure), compressor operation is

suspended, the appropriate lockout LED begins flashing. (Refer to

the "Fault Retry" section below.)

Testing

The Envision control allows service personnel to shorten most

timing delays for faster diagnostics. (Refer to the Field Selection

DIP switch SW2-1 on page 24.)

Fault Retry

All faults (except for low RPM faults with the ECM2 fan motor

and Comfort Alert faults which result in lock-out) are retried twice

before finally locking the unit out. An output signal is made avail-

able for a fault LED at the thermostat. The “fault retry” feature is

designed to prevent nuisance service calls.

Diagnostics

The Envision control board allows all inputs and outputs to be

displayed on the LEDs for fast and simple control board diagnosis.

(Refer to the Field Selection DIP Switch SW2-1 on page 24.)

Resistance Heat Control (208-230 Units)

The electric heat control module contains the appropriate

high-voltage control relays. Control signals energize the relays in

the proper sequence, and the LED display board indicates which

stages are energized.

Hot Water High Limit
(Domestic Hot Water Option)

This mode occurs when the hot water input temperature is at

or above 130°F for 30 continuous seconds. The DHW limit status

LED on the unit illuminates and the hot water pump de-energizes.

Hot water pump operations resume on the next compressor cycle

or after 15 minutes of continuous compressor operation during the

current thermostat demand cycle.

Hot Water Justification

Since compressor hot gas temperature is dependant on loop

temperature in cooling mode, loop temperatures may be too low

to allow proper heating of water. The control will monitor water and

refrigerant temperatures to determine if conditions are satisfactory

for heating water. The DHW limit status LED on the unit illuminates

when conditions are not favorable for heating water.

Heating Operation

Heat, 1st Stage (Y1)

The fan motor is started on low speed immediately (PSC

ON), the loop pump is energized 5 seconds after the “Y1” input

is received, and the compressor is energized on low capacity 10

seconds after the “Y1” input. The fan is switched to medium speed

15 seconds after “Y1” input (ECM only). The hot water pump is

cycled 30 seconds after the "Y1" input.

Heat, 2nd Stage (Y1,Y2) Single-Speed Units

The hot water pump is de-energized, which directs all heat

to satisfying the thermostat, and the fan changes to high speed

15 seconds after the "Y2" input (ECM only).

H

eat, 2nd Stage (Y1,Y2) Dual Capacity Units

The second stage compressor will be activated 5 seconds

after receiving a “Y2” input as long as the minimum first stage

compressor run time of 1 minute has expired. The ECM blower

changes from medium to high speed 15 seconds after the “Y2” input.

The Comfort Alert will delay the second stage compressor

until 5 seconds after it receives a “Y2” from the board.

Heat, 3rd Stage (Y1,Y2,W) Single-Speed Units

The first stage of resistance heat is energized 10 seconds

after “W” input, and with continuous 3rd stage demand, the

additional stages of resistance heat engage sequentially

every 5 minutes.
