ComfortStar 17122300001571 – Outdoor Main Circuit Board for Alegria Platinum CM4-48-4Z
The ComfortStar 17122300001571 is the primary outdoor control board designed for use with the Alegria Platinum CM4-48-4Z multi-zone heat pump system. This component manages all critical outdoor unit operations including compressor modulation, condenser fan motor control, inverter logic, and communication protocols across connected zones. It serves as the main control interface for system diagnostics, sequencing, and real-time performance coordination.
This board supports ComfortStar’s variable-speed operation, controlling system behavior based on real-time demand from indoor units. The PCB also includes integrated surge protection, status indication, and fail-safe logic in the event of system faults. Designed for outdoor installation, the board is housed in a protective enclosure and conforms to manufacturer specifications for CM4-48-4Z models.
