Safety Features: CXM Controls

The safety features below are provided to protect the com-

pressor, heat exchangers, wiring and other components

from damage caused by operation outside of design condi-

tions.
Anti-short cycle protection: The control features a 5 minute

anti-short cycle protection for the compressor.
Note: The 5 minute anti-short cycle also occurs at power up.
Random start: The control features a random start upon

power up of 5-80 seconds.
Fault Retry: In Fault Retry mode, the Status LED begins

slowly flashing to signal that the control is trying to recover

from a fault input. The control will stage off the outputs and

then “try again” to satisfy the thermostat input call. Once the

thermostat input call is satisfied, the control will continue on

as if no fault occurred. If 3 consecutive faults occur without

satisfying the thermostat input call, the control will go into

“lockout” mode. The last fault causing the lockout will be

stored in memory and can be viewed at the “fault” LED or by

going into test mode (CXM board). Note: FP1/FP2 faults

are factory set at only one try.
Lockout: In lockout mode, the status LED will begin fast

flashing. The compressor relay is turned off immediately.

Lockout mode can be “soft” reset by turning off the thermo-

stat (or satisfying the call). A “soft” reset keeps the fault in

memory but resets the control. A “hard” reset (disconnect-

ing power to the control) resets the control and erases fault

memory.
Lockout with emergency heat: While in lockout mode, if W

becomes active (CXM), emergency heat mode will occur.
High pressure switch: When the high pressure switch opens

due to high refrigerant pressures, the compressor relay is

de-energized immediately since the high pressure switch is

in series with the compressor contactor coil. The high pres-

sure fault recognition is immediate (does not delay for 30

continuous seconds before de-energizing the compressor).
High pressure lockout code = 2
Example: 2 quick flashes, 10 sec pause, 2 quick flashes, 10

sec. pause, etc.
Low pressure switch: The low pressure switch must be open

and remain open for 30 continuous seconds during “on”

cycle to be recognized as a low pressure fault. If the low

pressure switch is open for 30 seconds prior to compres-

sor power up it will be considered a low pressure (loss of

charge) fault. The low pressure switch input is bypassed for

the initial 60 seconds of a compressor run cycle.
Low pressure lockout code = 3
Water coil low temperature (FP1): The FP1 thermistor tem-

perature must be below the selected low temperature limit

setting for 30 continuous seconds during a compressor run

cycle to be recognized as a FP1 fault. The FP1 input is by-

passed for the initial 60 seconds of a compressor run cycle.

FP1 is set at the factory for one try. Therefore, the control

will go into lockout mode once the FP1 fault has occurred.
FP1 lockout code = 4
Air coil low temperature (FP2): The FP2 thermistor tempera-

ture must be below the selected low temperature limit setting

for 30 continuous seconds during a compressor run cycle to

be recognized as a FP2 fault. The FP2 input is bypassed for

the initial 60 seconds of a compressor run cycle. FP2 is set

at the factory for one try. Therefore, the control will go into

lockout mode once the FP2 fault has occurred.
FP2 lockout code = 5
Condensate overflow: The condensate overflow sensor must

sense overflow level for 30 continuous seconds to be recog-

nized as a CO fault. Condensate overflow will be monitored

at all times.
CO lockout code = 6
Over/under voltage shutdown: An over/under voltage condi-

tion exists when the control voltage is outside the range of

19VAC to 30VAC. Over/under voltage shut down is a self-

resetting safety. If the voltage comes back within range for

at least 0.5 seconds, normal operation is restored. This is

not considered a fault or lockout. If the CXM is in over/under

voltage shutdown for 15 minutes, the alarm relay will close.
Over/under voltage shut down code = 7
Unit Performance Sentinel-UPS (patent pending): The UPS

feature indicates when the heat pump is operating ineffi-

ciently. A UPS condition exists when:

a)

In heating mode with compressor energized,

FP2 is greater than 125°F [52°C] for 30 continu-

ous seconds, or:

b)

In cooling mode with compressor energized,

FP1 is greater than 125°F [52°C] for 30 continu-

ous seconds, or:
