2.3. Heat Pump System Start-Up and Checkout
IMPORTANT
The zone control system power-up must occur at the same time or before the furnace or air handler unit is powered up.
2.3.1. PoweringtheSystem(AllSystems)
1. Adjust all thermostat settings so that no demand will occur.
2. Apply power to the zone panel transformer and to the air handler and observe the following: all four diagnostic LEDs will light; then each individual diagnostic LED
will light in sequence; then all four diagnostic LEDs will light and extinguish.
3. Finally,thestatuslightwillbegintoash,indicatingproperoperation.Performheatpumpheatingcheckoutsreferencedinthissection.

1. Set zone 1 thermostat for a heat demand; check:
• Zone 1 thermostat W LED on (heating demand).
• Damper LED 1 off (damper open).
• Damper LEDs 2, 3, and 4 on (dampers closed).
• Output Heat Y1 LED on (compressor on).
• Heating LED on.
• Fan LED on.
• Pressure Switch LED on.
The compressor in the outdoor unit begins operating in the heating mode. At approximately
the same time, the indoor blower starts, operating at a speed according to the setting of
the PIAB jumper for zone 1. It may take the blower 60 to 90 seconds to reach this speed.
2. If Single-Stage Heat Pump - Skip to step 3. The discharge air sensor continually samples
airtemperature.If,after4minutes,airtemperatureisnotwarmingsignicantly,thehigh
speed compressor energizes. Output Heat Y2 LED on (high speed compressor).
3. The discharge air sensor continually samples air temperature. If, after (another) 4 minutes,
airisnotwarmingsignicantly,auxiliaryheatsequencebegins:
• Electric Heating (E-Heating) LED on.
• Output Heat W1 on, followed by (if available, and if necessary) W2, and then W3.
4. Remove heat demand from zone 1.
• All LEDs off, except:
• Damper LEDs 2, 3, 4 on.
