DATE: October 7, 2020 TO: All Service and Parts Managers SUBJECT: Crank Case Heater Kit for Inverter Split Systems

For reliability and longevity, inverter condensing units are designed to maintain compressor oil at optimum conditions while the unit is in stand-by mode. This feature allows a small current draw through the compressor windings to maintain proper oil temperature to provide compressor protection in preparation for the next run cycle.

In some cases, homeowners may hear a high-pitched sound coming from the outdoor unit. This is the result of current draw through the compressor windings and is not a defect with the inverter unit. If you have a homeowner experiencing this condition and finds it objectionable, we have developed a kit to install an external crankcase heater to maintain proper oil temperature instead of utilizing the compressor windings on the inverter units.

This kit is not under the manufacturer’s warranty and must be purchased by contacting your service parts CSR. The part number for the kit is INVCCHK01.

Note: Please review IO-7005 (attached) before proceeding with the installation. The “New” INVCCHK01 requires the use of the BTSDL01 (Bluetooth Shared Data Loader) in addition to this kit to install the required shared data.

INVCCHK01Bluetooth Shared Data Loader(p#BTSDL01) required to use this kit.External Crankcase Heater KitINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DESCRIPTIONThe INVCCHK01 external crankcase heater kit will be used where an off-cycle noise is not acceptable.

The kit disables the internal crankcase heater function en-abled in the production shared data file. The kit includes a temperature control that turns ON/OFF the added external crankcase heater when the discharge temperature reaches a specific tempera ture during operation. The temperature switch has a cut in (98°–112°) and a cut out range (122°–150°). When the ambient temperature is low enough, the temperature switch turns the crankcase heater ON. This heater will allow the compressor oil to heat up before oper-ation. As the compressor starts running, the discharge tube will heat up to 150°, at which point, the temperature switch will turn the crankcase heater OFF. When the compressor stops running and the discharge tube temperature drops be-low 102°, the temperature switch turns the crankcase heater back ON.

After installation of the external crankcase heater kit compo-nents, a new shared data file must be installed in the PCB board prior to starting the unit. The new shared data file will dis engage the compressor motor winding from running when using the ex-ternal crankcase heater kit. See Kit Installation Procedure on how to install the crankcase heater kit components.

The Bluetooth Shared Data Loader (p#BTSDL01), along with the CoolCloud™ phone app, is required to install the specific shared data file for your legacy ComfortNet™ Brand/Model. Please refer to the BTSDL01 kit instruction for additional in-formation on using the Bluetooth Shared Data Loader.

Status LED – Will blink periodically when the device is powered on. The Status LED will blinkonce every 4 seconds when the device is powered on nor-mally. The Status LED will blink 3 timesin quick succession to indicate the battery is low and will need to be replaced soon.C. Shared Data Loading ConnectorD. Battery/Battery Slot – Accepts a CR2032 3V coin cell battery

Setup

Before using the card, download the CoolCloud HVAC app for iOS or Android using the links below. Besure to register for an account before continuing.

Connecting to the Device

Turn the Bluetooth ® Shared Data Loader on by switching the Power Switch to the ON position. The blue Status LED should begin flashing periodically. If the CoolCloud HVAC app is open, it will detect the new Bluetooth network and display “SharedDataCard” as an available network. Tap on this network to connect.

If the network does not appear, ensure the Status LED on the device is flashing and tap the refresh button in the app to continue scanning for networks.

Reprogramming Shared Data

To select shared data, click on “Shared Data Card” on the system overview screen.

Then click on “Shared Data”.

From here, the appropriate Shared Data can be selected by either scanning a barcode that can be found on the unit or by typing in the model number of the unit. If possible, scanning the 2D barcode is recommended to get the most accurate results. If this barcode is faded, damaged, or can’t be found, then it will be necessary to enter the model number instead.

If the app requires any security verification, choose “Pair Device by Code” and enter the code 123.

The 2D barcode can typically be found somewhere inside the unit. For indoor units, the barcode can typically be found on the blower deck. For outdoor units, it can typically be found on the inside of the control board compartment. This 2D barcode will always have the model number of the unit printed next to it.

For this ComfortNet furnace, the 2D barcode is located on the blowerdeck, its model number is

AMVC961205DNAA

After selecting the desired model number, the app will present a confirmation screen. Review the information on this screen, then, if the information looks correct, click “Confirm and Continue” to program the selected Shared Data onto the card.

If the information shown on the confirmation screen does not look correct, it may be necessary to choose a different set of Shared Data. Return to the previous screens and ensure the model number provided in the app is correct. If possible, use the camera to scan the 2D barcode instead of manually selecting the model number from the list.

Loading Shared Data onto the Equipment

Once the Shared Data has been loaded onto the card, determine if the equipment being worked on is a ComfortNet unit or a ComfortBridge unit. All ComfortBridge units have Bluetooth and are designed to work with the CoolCloud HVAC app directly. In most cas-es, it will be easier to simply connect the app to the Blue-tooth network of the unit and reprogram the Shared Data on the unit directly from the app.

In some cases it may be necessary to load Shared Data onto a ComfortBridge unit (e.g. when the Bluetooth con-nection is not working). If this is the case, please skip to the section labeled “Loading Shared Data onto ComfortBridge Equipment” for further instructions. Otherwise, please keep reading.

With the card plugged in and powered on, power on the equipment for 30 seconds to allow the Shared Data loading process to complete. When complete, power the equip-ment back off and retrieve the card from the unit. Recon-nect power to the system and confirm that the Shared Data loading process was successful and that the system is operating normally.

The reprogrammable Shared Data loader card must be powered on to load Shared Data onto a unit.

Loading Shared Data onto ComfortNet™ Equipment

When loading Shared Data from the card onto a Comfort-Net unit, first disconnect power from the HVAC system and insert the card into the Shared Data loading connector on the control board inside the desired ComfortNet unit. When plugged into the unit, the card must be powered on to function properly.

Then press “CENTER” to select the Cr menu. Some codes will begin flashing on the display. Ignore these codes and hold down the “LEFT” and “RIGHT” buttons simultaneous-ly for at least 10 seconds. If the display switches to “Cr” again, check that the Bluetooth Shared Data Loader is inserted fully into the connector and is powered on.

After holding “LEFT” and “RIGHT” for 10 seconds, the display will start flashing a new code, once this new code appears, release the “LEFT” and “RIGHT” buttons. The equipment will display the options “YES” and “no” to con-firm or cancel the Shared Data loading process. To confirm, press the “RIGHT” button to select “YES”.

Then press the “CENTER” button twice to confirm the selection. The board will then start the Shared Data loading process. Once the Shared Data Loading process is com-plete, the display will return to displaying “Cr”.

To load Shared Data onto a ComfortBridge unit, first insert the card into the Shared Data programming connector on the control board inside the desired ComfortBridge unit. Then ensure the board is receiving power. Once the board is fully powered on, use the “LEFT”, “RIGHT”, and “CEN-TER” buttons on the control board to navigate the appropri-ate menus on the control board.Press the “RIGHT” button until the display reads “Cr”.

Loading Shared Data onto ComfortBridge™ Equipment

Additional Notes

What is Shared Data?

There are many different models of equipment offered under the ComfortNet and ComfortBridge platforms; however, all these models use only a small handful of control boards. To make sure each control board can work inside its intended chassis, we load each board with a small amount of chassis-specific data when the equipment is assembled.

When the equipment is installed, this chassis data is copied over to any other connected communicating equipment and saved there in case some parts need to be replaced at a later date. Because this data is shared by other equipment on the same network, we call it “Shared Data.”

This means if only one part needs to be replaced in a sys-tem, it’s likely the Shared Data will automatically be loaded from the existing equipment. However, if multiple parts need to be replaced all at once and the system loses all the places where this Shared Data is stored, Shared Data will need to be reloaded to make sure the freshly installed parts are compatible with the existing equipment.

When is it Necessary to Load Shared Data?

In short, if a unit reports a d0, d1, or d2 fault code, it will be necessary to load Shared Data from the card.

One of these fault codes may be generated by a unit after some parts of the equipment are replaced. After a system is powered on for the first time, there are two or three plac-es where the Shared Data for the entire system is stored. Shared Data is always stored on the indoor unit control board and the indoor blower motor. If the outdoor unit is a ComfortNet outdoor unit wired in communicating mode to the indoor unit (i.e. wired using the 1-2-R-C connector), then Shared Data for the system is also stored on the outdoor control board.

Shared Data will only need to be replaced if all sources of Shared Data on a system are replaced at the same time.

Loading Shared Data can be avoided by replacing only one of these parts at a time and powering up the system after replacing each part.
