FX10 Microprocessor and BAS System
The FX10 is a microprocessor based control that not 
only monitors and controls the heat pump but also can 
communicate any of this information back to the building 
automation system (BAS). This means that not only does 
the control monitor the heat pump at the unit you can also 
monitor and control many of the features over the BAS. 
This clearly puts the FX10 in a class of its own.
The control will enumerate all fault conditions (HP, LP, 
LOC, and Freeze Detection) over a BAS as well as display 
them on a medium user interface (MUI). HP, LP, and Freeze 
Detection faults can all be reset over a BAS. A Loss Of 
Charge fault can not be reset or bypassed until the problem 
has been corrected. A MUI is invaluable as a service tool for 
the building service team. 
The unit can be commanded to run by applying Y1, Y2, and 
O commands to the terminal board or commanded through 
a BAS. The control board is wired with quick connect 
harnesses for easy field change out of a faulty control 
board. An alarm history can be viewed through the MUI and 
will be held in memory until the unit is power cycled. 
The FX10 control has unused analog and digital inputs for 
field installed items such as water temperature or current 
status switches. The control has unused binary and PWM 
outputs that can be commanded over the BAS for field use.
A Medium User Interface (MUI) for control setup and 
advanced diagnostics is standard on all NSKW units.

Control and Safety Feature Details
Emergency Shutdown
The emergency shutdown mode can be activated by a 
command from a facility management system or a closed 
contact on BI-2. The default state for the emergency 
shutdown data point is off. When the emergency 
shutdown mode is activated, all outputs will be turned 
off immediately and will remain off until the emergency 
shutdown mode is de-activated. The first time the 
compressor starts after the emergency shutdown mode 
has been de-activated, there will be a random start delay 
present.
Lockout Mode
Lockout mode can be activated by any of the following 
fault signals: refrigerant system high pressure, refrigerant 
system low pressure, or freeze detection. When any valid 
fault signal remains continuously active for the length 
of its recognition delay, the controller will go into fault 
retry mode, which will turn off the compressor. After the 
compressor short cycle delay, the compressor will attempt 
to operate once again. If three consecutive faults occur 
in 60 minutes, the unit will go into lockout mode, turning 
off the compressor, enabling the alarm output until the 
controller is reset. If the control faults due to the low 
pressure input being open during the pre-compressor 
startup check, the control will go into lockout mode 
immediately, disabling the compressor from starting and 
enabling the alarm output. The lockout condition can be 
reset by powering down the controller, by a command from 
the BAS, or by holding the ESC and Return keys on the user 
interface for 5 seconds.
