speed. Should this be insufficient, and the SAT rises further

reaching the maximum heating SAT limit, the fan will be

indexed to the maximum speed. If the SAT still continues to

rise 5 F above the maximum limit, all heating stages will be

disabled.

During Heating mode, the reversing valve output will be

held in the heating position (either B or O type as configured)

even after the compressor is stopped. The valve will not switch

position until the Cooling mode is required.

The configuration screens contain the maximum SAT

parameter as well as heating lockout based on outdoor-air

temperature (OAT); both can be adjusted to meet various

specifications.

There is a 5-minute off time for the compressor as well as a

5-minute time delay when staging up to allow the SAT to

achieve a stable temperature before energizing a second stage

of capacity. Likewise, a 45-second delay is used when staging

down.

After a compressor is staged off, it may be restarted again

after a normal time-guard period of 5 minutes and if the sup-

ply-air temperature has fallen below the maximum supply air

temperature limit.

The WSHP Open controller provides a status input to moni-

tor the compressor operation. The status is monitored to deter-

mine if the compressor status matches the commanded state.

This input is used to determine if a refrigerant safety switch or

other safety device has tripped and caused the compressor to

stop operating normally. If this should occur, an alarm will be

generated to indicate the faulted compressor condition. Also, if

auxiliary heat is available (see below), the auxiliary heat will

operate to replace the reverse cycle heating and maintain the

space temperature as required.
AUXILIARY HEAT — The WSHP Open controller can con-

trol a two-position, modulating water, or steam valve connect-

ed to a coil on the discharge side of the unit and supplied by a

boiler or a single-stage ducted electric heater in order to main-

tain the desired heating set point. Should the compressor capac-

ity be insufficient or a compressor failure occurs, the auxiliary

heat will be used. Unless the compressor fails, the auxiliary

heat will only operate to supplement the heat provided by the

compressor if the space temperature falls more than one degree

below the desired heating set point (the amount is config-

urable). The heat will be controlled so the SAT will not exceed

the maximum heating SAT limit.
Auxiliary Modulating Hot Water/Steam Heating Reheat

— The control can modulate a hot water or steam valve con-

nected to a coil on the discharge side of the unit and supplied

by a boiler in order to maintain the desired heating set point

should the compressor capacity be insufficient or a compressor

failure occurs. Unless a compressor fault condition exists, the

valve will only operate to supplement the heat provided by the

compressor if the space temperature falls more than one degree

below the desired heating set point. The valve will be con-

trolled so the SAT will not exceed the maximum heating SAT

limit.
Two-Position Hot Water/Steam Heating Reheat — The con-

trol can operate a two-position, NO or NC, hot water or steam

valve connected to a coil on the discharge side of the unit and

supplied by a boiler in order to maintain the desired heating set

point should the compressor capacity be insufficient or a com-

pressor failure occurs. Unless a compressor fault condition ex-

ists, the valve will only open to supplement the heat provided

by the compressor if the space temperature falls more than one

degree below the desired heating set point. The valve will be

controlled so the SAT will not exceed the maximum heating

SAT limit. The heat stage will also be subject to a 2-minute

minimum OFF time to prevent excessive valve cycling.
Single Stage Electric Auxiliary Heat — The control can op-

erate a field-installed single stage of electric heat installed on

the discharge side of the unit in order to maintain the desired

heating set point should the compressor capacity be insufficient

or a compressor failure occurs. Unless a compressor fault con-

dition exists, the heat stage will only operate to supplement the

heat provided by the compressor if the space temperature falls

more than one degree below the desired heating set point. The

heat stage will be controlled so the SAT will not exceed the

maximum heating SAT limit. The heat stage will also be sub-

ject to a 2-minute minimum OFF time to prevent excessive

cycling.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ) AND DEMAND CON-

TROLLED VENTILATION (DCV) — If the optional in-

door air quality sensor is installed, the WSHP Open controller

can maintain indoor air quality via a modulating OA damper

providing demand controlled ventilation. The control operates

the modulating OA damper during occupied periods. The con-

trol monitors the CO

2

level and compares it to the configured

set points, adjusting the ventilation rate as required. The control

provides proportional ventilation to meet the requirements of

ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and

Air Conditioning Engineers) specifications by providing a base

ventilation rate and then increasing the rate as the CO

2

level in-

creases. The control will begin to proportionally increase venti-

lation when the CO

2

level rises above the start ventilation set

point and will reach the full ventilation rate when the CO

2

level

is at or above the maximum set point. A user-configurable min-

imum damper position ensures that proper base ventilation is

delivered when occupants are not present. The IAQ configura-

tions can be accessed through the configuration screen. The

following conditions must be true in order for this algorithm to

run:
• Damper control is configured for DCV.

• The unit is in an occupied mode.

• The IAQ sensor reading is greater than the DCV start

control set point.
The control has four user adjustable set points: DCV start

control set point, DCV maximum control set point, minimum

damper position, and DCV maximum damper position.
Two-Position OA Damper — The control can be configured

to operate a ventilation damper in a two-position ventilation

mode to provide the minimum ventilation requirements during

occupied periods.
DEHUMIDIFCATION — The WSHP Open controller will

provide occupied and unoccupied dehumidification only on

units that are equipped with the modulating hot water reheat

(HWR) option. This function requires an accessory space rela-

tive humidity sensor. When using a relative humidity sensor to

control dehumidification during occupied or unoccupied times,

the dehumidification set points are used accordingly. When the

indoor relative humidity becomes greater than the dehumidifi-

cation set point, a dehumidification demand will be acknowl-

edged. Once acknowledged, the dehumidification output will

be energized, bringing on the supply fan (medium speed), me-

chanical cooling, and the integral hot water reheat coil. The

controls will engage Cooling mode and waste heat from the

compressor cooling cycle will be returned to the reheat coil si-

multaneously, meaning that the reversing valve is causing the

compressor to operate in the Cooling mode. During Cooling

mode, the unit cools, dehumidifies, and disables the HWR coil;

however, once the call for cooling has been satisfied and there

is still a call for dehumidification, the unit will continue to op-

erate using the Reheat mode and HWR coil.
WATERSIDE ECONOMIZER — The WSHP Open control-

ler has the capability of providing modulating or two-position

water economizer operation (for a field-installed economizer

coil mounted to the entering air side of the unit and connected

to the condenser water loop) in order to provide free cooling

(or preheating) when water conditions are optimal. Water econ-

omizer settings can be accessed through the equipment status
