Service technicians in the HVACR field will sooner or later encounter the microprocessor in their daily service work. Equipment manufacturers are using microprocessors more and more to make their products more reliable, less complicated, easier to troubleshoot, and more self-diagnostic, as well as to cut down on the amount of hard wiring that goes into the control circuit.

In this article, we will discuss a micro processor (Figure 1) as part of the control circuit (Figur...

Popular Mechanics ; * It's hard for me to believe that the microprocessor turns only 25 years old this month. I get the same feeling when I'm reminded that the location of Central Park was once a remote and rural part of Manhattan, or that in the days before communications satellites, it wasn't possible to broadcast
