Optional FX10 Microprocessor Control

FX10 Control Overview

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 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, CO,

LOC, and Freeze Detection) over a BAS as well as display

them on a medium user interface (MUI). HP, LP, CO 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 a typical heat

pump thermostat or run based on heating and cooling

set points supplied by a BAS. The control board is wired

with quick connect harnesses for easy field change out

of a bad control board. All ECM2.3 variable blower speed

settings can be changed over a BAS or with a MUI. The

control has an output programmed to enable emergency

heat in the event that the compressor is locked out. This

output can also be commanded on from a BAS as needed.

An alarm history can be viewed through the MUI and will

be held in memory until the unit is power cycled. Relative

humidity can be read by a humidity sensor and displayed

over the network and if you are using an ECM2.3 blower

motor the control can enable dehumidification mode based

on a set point in the control. The dehumidification set

point itself can also be changed over a BAS or with a MUI.

Dehumidification mode can also be enabled by the BAS.

The FX10 control has unused analog and digital inputs

for field installed items such as air temperature, water

temperature, or current status switches. The control has

unused binary and PWM outputs that can be commanded

over the BAS for field use.

An optional Medium User Interface (MUI) for control setup

and advanced diagnostics is available with some mounting

kits, MUIK1 - Panel mount version and the MUIK2-Wall

mount version.

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, heating freeze detection, and

condensate overflow. 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 during a

single heating or cooling demand, the unit will go into

lockout mode, turning off the compressor, enabling the

alarm output, and setting the blower back to low speed
