Unit Startup

Before Powering Unit

Check the following:

• High voltage wiring is correct and matches the nameplate.

• Fuses, breakers and wire size are correct.

• Piping is completed and water system has been cleaned

and flushed.

• Air is purged from the closed loop system.

• Isolation valves are open and loop water control valves or

loop pumps are wired.

• Service/access panels are in place.

Primary Unit Startup

1. Apply power to the unit. Upon power up, the unit will

display the current operation mode.

H for dedicated heating.

C for dedicated cooling.

U for reversible units.

2. Press the mode button. The LED screen will display the

current entering water temperature. The load pump will

activate after a 5 minute delay.

3. Once the load pump has been active for 3 minutes, the

controller will sample the temperature of the water

system. In heating mode, when the temperature of the

water shown on the display is lower than the set point

the compressor will activate.

4. By using a pressure gauge and the P/T ports, check the

pressure drop through both the load and source coaxes.

Compare this to the capacity tables in the specification

catalog to verify the proper flow rate through the unit.

5. Verify that the compressor, load side and source side

pumps are operating.

6. After determining the flow rates, use a thermometer and

the PT ports to determine the change in temperature on

both the load and source side coaxes.

7. Compute the formula GPM flow rate X Change in

temperature X 500 (485 on source side if antifreeze/brine

is used in the loop) = Heat of Extraction on the source

side in heating, Heat of Rejection on the source side in

cooling. To ensure proper operation, compare these

values to the capacity tables in the specification catalog.

8. Press the down arrow on the keypad to reduce the

set point below the incoming load temperature.

Compressor should shut off and the load pump should

shut off 30 seconds after the compressor.

9. Wait 7 minutes. The load pump should start to sample

load temperature.

10. Compressor and source side circulator should not start.

11. Press the up arrow on the keypad to increase the

set point to 5 degrees above the water temperature

displayed on the LED screen.

12. Three minutes after the load pump activates, the

compressor and source pump should activate.

Secondary Unit Startup

1. Apply power to the unit.

2. After a three to five-minute delay, the water temperature

shall be sampled. If the controller receives a remote

aquastat signal, the compressor shall activate.

3. Verify that the compressor and load side, source side

pumps are running.

4. By using a pressure gauge and the PT ports, check

the pressure drop through both the load and source

coaxes, and compare this to the capacity tables in the

specification catalog to verify the proper flow rate

through the unit.

5. After determining the flow rates, use a thermometer and

the PT ports to determine the change in temperature on

both the load and source side coaxes.

6. Compute the formula GPM flow rate X Change in

temperature X 500 (485 on source side if antifreeze

is used in the loop) = Heat of Extraction on the source

side in heating, Heat of rejection on the source side in

cooling. To ensure proper operation, compare these

values to the capacity tables in the specification catalog.

7. Press the down arrow on the control to disrupt the

remote aquastat signal. Unit should shut off.

8. Instruct the owner or operator about the correct control

and system operation.
