15-Blower Motor Overload Relay S42
(5 & 10 HP Motors only)
Units equipped with 5 and 10 horsepower indoor blower
motors are also equipped with a thermal overload relay
connected inline with the blower motor. See figure 11. The
relay monitors the current flowing to the blower motor.
When the relay senses an overload condition, a set of N.C.
contacts in the relay open to deenergize all control volt
age in the unit.

16-Compressor Delay DL15
(1603 Y voltage, all 1853 voltages only)
Time delay DL15 is a SPST N.O. timedelay switch.
Once energized, the delay waits 30 seconds + 3 sec
onds before closing. The purpose of the delay is to pre
vent voltage drop at the contactor coil due to (the possi
bility of) multiple contactors being energized at the
same time. With the delay added, only two contactors
(K1 and K10) can energize at the same time while the
third contactor (K2) must wait 30 seconds before ener
gizing. When thermostat demand stops, DL15 immedi
ately opens and resets.
In both units, the delay is wired in series with compres
sor contactor coil (K2). In CHA161603 units, the delay
is energized upon receiving a call for second stage
cooling. In CHA161853 units the delay is energized si
multaneously with compressor 1 contactor K1 and con
denser outdoor fan contactor K10.
In CHA161853 units, once contactor K2 is energized,
a set of N.O. K2-2 auxiliary contacts close to bypass the
time delay (wired in parallel with time delay DL15).
When K2-2 closes, the resulting shunt eliminates any
load added by the time delay (allows K2 to receive full
voltage).
17-Pilot Relay Board A11
(1853, 2553, 2753, 3003 only)
A11 is a pilot relay board (figure 12) used in all CHA16
15 ton and larger units. Pilot relays are used in 24VAC
control circuits to limit voltage drop caused by a long
run of thermostat wire. The relays on the circuit board
are added electrically in between the thermostat (or
thermostat control system) and the contactors in the
unit.
Relays draw much less current from the transformer
than the unit contactors. When a long run of thermostat
wire is used from the unit to the thermostat and back to
energize unit contactors, current drawn by the contac
tors could potentially cause voltage drop resulting in
contactor chattering. The pilot relays are added be
tween the thermostat and the contactors (refer to unit
wiring diagram) to electrically isolate the contactor
coils from the thermostat wire and thereby minimize the
potential for voltage drop at the contactors.
18-Indoor Blower Contactor K3 (all units)
K3 is a 24V to line voltage contactor used to energize the
indoor blower motor in response to blower demand. In cool
ing mode K3 is energized by pilot relay K46 in response to
cooling or constant fan demand. In heating mode K3 is en
ergized by relays K20 or K25 (in the heating section) in re
sponse to heating demand. All units use threepoledouble
break contactors.
