TSA141300
Anti-Short Cycle, Solid StateTimer
Description
TheTSA141300 utilizes unique circuitry to provide random start
and lockout delay in one small, rugged, inexpensive package.
When connected as shown, theTSA141300 in a multiple unit
situation, prevents all units from starting at one time with
its random start feature. TheTSA141300 also prevents the
compressor from recycling rapidly which could result in a lock
rotor condition. This lockout delay is initiated at the end of each
operation of the compressor. A momentary loss of power would
also initiate the lockout delay.
Operation
Random Start: With the thermostat closed, when line voltage
is applied to system, a time delay is initiated. At the end of this
delay, the compressor relay will be energized. (Random Start
delay is equal to lockout delay.)

Anti-Short Cycle: At the end of each cycle, when the
thermostat opens, a lockout delay is initiated which prevents
re-energization of the compressor relay during this period. If
the thermostat is closed after the time delay is completed, the
compressor relay will energize Immediately.

Loss of Power: If there is a momentary loss of power, the
lockout will again be initiated preventing the compressor relay
from energizing for the duration of the delay.
