NSKW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Freeze Detection
The freeze detection sensor will monitor the liquid 
refrigerant temperature entering the water coil in the 
heating mode. If the temperature drops below the freeze 
detection trip point for the recognition delay period, the 
condition will be recognized as a fault. The freeze detection 
trip point will be factory set for -1.1°C and will be field 
selectable for -9.4°C by removing a jumper wire on BI-4 
for the source and BI-5 for the load. The freeze detection 
fault condition will be bypassed for 2 minutes at normal 
compressor startup to allow the refrigeration circuit to 
stabilize. If the freeze detection sensor becomes unreliable 
at any time compressor operation will immediately be 
suspended until the problem is corrected. This will be 
displayed as an alarm on the BAS and the MUI. This alarm 
will be reported as “Water Low Temp Limit”.
High Pressure
The high-pressure switch shall be a normally closed (NC) 
switch that monitors the systems refrigerant pressure. If 
the input senses the high-pressure switch is open it must 
disable the compressor output immediately and count the 
fault. The compressor minimum on time does not apply if 
the high-pressure switch opens. The compressor will not 
restart until the compressor short cycle time delay has 
been satisfied.
Low Pressure
The low-pressure switch shall be a normally closed (NC) 
switch that monitors the systems refrigerant pressure. 
The input shall be checked 5 seconds before compressor 
start up and then ignored for the first 2 minutes after the 
compressor output (BO-2) is enabled. If the switch is open 
continuously for 30 seconds during compressor operation 
the compressor output (BO-2) will be disabled. The 
compressor will not restart until the compressor short cycle 
time delay has been satisfied.
Alarm Outputs
The alarm output will be enabled when the control is in 
the lockout mode and will be disabled when the lockout is 
reset.
Test Mode
By holding the ESC and down arrow keys on the MUI for 5 
seconds will put the control into test mode. In test mode 
the random start delay and the compressor fixed on delay 
time will both be shortened to 5 seconds and the reversing 
valve will be allowed to cycle without shutting down the 
compressor. If an MUI is connected to the control LED 8 will 
flash and the words “Test Mode Enabled” will be shown on 
the LCD display when the control is in test mode. Test mode 
will be disabled after a power cycle, 30 minute timeout, or 
by holding the ESC and Up arrow keys on the MUI.
Sequence of Operation
Power Fail Restart
When the controller is first powered up, the outputs will 
be disabled for a random start delay. The delay is provided 
to prevent simultaneous starting of multiple heat pumps. 
Once the timer expires, the controller will operate normally.
Random Start Delay
This delay will be used after every power failure, as well as 
the first time the compressor is started after the control 
exits the unoccupied mode or the emergency shutdown 
mode. The delay should not be less than 1 second and not 
longer than 120 seconds. If the control is in test mode the 
random start delay will be shortened to 5 seconds.
Compressor Minimum On Delay
The compressor minimum on delay will ensure that the 
compressor output is enabled for a minimum of two (2) 
minutes each time the compressor output is enabled. This 
will apply in every instance except in the event the high 
pressure switch is tripped or emergency shutdown then the 
compressor output will be disabled immediately.
Compressor Minimum Off Delay Time
The compressor minimum time delay will ensure that the 
compressor output will not be enabled for a minimum 
of five (5) minutes after it is disabled. This allows for 
the system refrigerant pressures to equalize after the 
compressor is disabled.
Heating Cycle
The control will run the unit in heating mode when there is 
no command on the O/B terminal on the terminal board.
Cooling Cycle
The control will run the unit in cooling mode when there is 
a command on the O/B terminal on the terminal board.
MUI Alarm History Reporting
If a fault occurs the fault will be recorded in history for 
display on the medium user interface in the History Menu. 
Each fault type will be displayed in the history menu with 
a number between 0 and 3. A reading of 3+ will mean that 
fault has occurred more than three times in the past. The 
history menu can be cleared with a power cycle only. Alarm 
date and time are not included in the history.
