timer requests a defrost cycle at 7:35, the defrost cycle
will start at 8:01. Datalogger will record a Defrost event for

Frozen Loads
Temperature control by the controller is based on
the return air sensor temperature. The evaporator
fans operate continuously on low speed (except
during defrost).
· Cooling until return air temperature decreases to 1 C (1.8 F) below setpoint. Minimum 15 minute
compressor ON (running) time and 10 minute compressor OFF time prevents rapid cycling between
Cool and Null modes.
· Null until return air temperature increases to 1 C (1.8 F) above setpoint. Both compressors and the
condenser fan stop while the evaporator fans operate on low speed during the null mode.
· Defrost: Resistance heaters turn ON during defrost while the evaporator fans stop.
A Demand Defrost can be initiated by the
controller when the temperature difference
between the return air sensor and setpoint
increases to a pre-set value and a minimum of 6
hours of compressor ON (running) time have
elapsed since the previous defrost.
A Defrost Timer also initiates defrost every 12
hours. During extended unit operation, timed
defrost intervals increase 6 hours each time a
timed defrost occurs without a demand defrost in
between. Maximum time interval is 36 hours. The
Defrost Timer resets if the unit is OFF more than
12 hours or the setpoint is changed more than 5 C
