OVERVIEW
RSMVQ Overview
RSMVQ Features and Applications
The Refrigerant System Module for VFD compressors with
DMQ®Universal Superheat Control/Sensor (RSMVQ) monitors
and controls one or two refrigeration circuits of the AAON unit. It
is used in conjunction with the VCCX2 Controller. The RSMVQ
module is designed for R410-A refrigerant.
The RSMVQ is for units with the following congurations:
1. One or two circuits with no reheat, reheat on the rst
circuit if one circuit, or reheat on both circuits if two
circuits.
2. Must have one MODBUS-controlled VFD compressor
on the rst circuit.
3. Must have a xed or two-step compressor on the
second circuit.
4. Must have at least one DMQ® Electronic Expansion
Valve (EXV).
Optional congurations include:
1. A single condenser fan output signal for two circuits
or one condenser fan output signal per circuit.
2. Single or dual EXVs.
In addition, the RSMVQ cannot be used in a heat pump
application (air-to-air or water-source) and cannot have multiple
RSM modules.
The RSMVQ uses an E-BUS cable to connect to the VCCX2
Controller. Only one RSMVQ can be connected. There are two
E-BUS expansion ports which allow connection to the VCCX2
Controller, communicating sensors, and other E-BUS modules.
The RSMVQ is congured using Prism 2 software.
The RSMVQ provides four analog inputs, two binary inputs,
four relays, and two analog outputs. See Figures 2 and 3, pages
8 and 9, for wiring.
The RSMVQ provides the following:
• Modulates the compressors or controls staging to
satisfy the Suction Coil (Saturated) Temperature.
The Suction Coil (Saturated) Temperature Setpoint
is reset by the VCCX2 Controller to maintain the
Supply Air Temperature during Cooling Mode. During
Dehumidication Mode, it controls the compressors to
the Suction (Saturation) Temperature Setpoint.
• Modulates the condenser fan(s) to maintain the Head
Pressure Setpoint.
• Monitors the performance of the Superheat Controller
to maintain the Superheat Setpoint of each evaporator
coil.
• Provides alarms and safeties for the compressor and
condenser operation.
• Provides a 2 x 8 LCD character display and four buttons
that allow for status of system operation, system
setpoints, system congurations, sensors, alarms, and
to change the module’s address, if necessary.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING
Electrical and Environmental Requirements
General
Correct wiring of the AAON unit controller and its modules is
the most important factor in the overall success of the installation
process. TheAAON unit controller and modules are installed and
wired at the AAON factory. Some of the following information
may not apply to your installation if it was pre-wired at the
factory. However, if troubleshooting of the controller or modules
is required, it is a good idea to be familiar with the system wiring.
Wiring
The modules must be connected to an 18-30 VAC power source
of the proper size for the calculated VA load requirements. All
transformer sizing should be based on the VA ratings listed in
Table 1, this page.
NOTE: If the temperature at the controller is below -4ºF
(-20ºC), the display refresh rate could be less
responsive.
WARNING: When using a single transformer to power
more than one controller or expansion
module, the correct polarity must always
be maintained between the boards. Failure
to observe correct polarity will result
in damage to the AAON unit controller,
RSMVQ, and any associated module.
Please carefully read and apply the following information when
wiring the unit controller, RSMVQ, and any associated module.
1. All wiring is to be in accordance with local and
national electrical codes and specications.
2. All 24 VAC wiring must be connected so that all
ground wires remain common. Failure to follow this
procedure can result in damage to the controller and
connected devices.
3. Minimum wire size for 24 VAC wiring should be
18-gauge.
4. Minimum wire size for all sensors should be 24-gauge.
Some sensors require two-conductor wire and some
require three-or four-conductor wire.
5. Minimum wire size for 24 VAC thermostat wiring
should be 22-gauge.
6. Be sure all wiring connections are properly inserted
and tightened into the terminal blocks. Do not allow
wire strands to stick out and touch adjoining terminals
which could potentially cause a short circuit.
7. When communication wiring is used to interconnect
AAON unit controllers together or to connect to other
communication devices, all wiring must be plenum-
rated, minimum 18-gauge, two-conductor, twisted pair
with shield. AAON can supply communication wire
that meets this specication and is color coded for
the network or local loop. Please consult your AAON
distributor for information. If desired, Belden #82760
or equivalent wire may also be used.
8. Before applying power to the AAON unit controller,
RSMVQ Modules, and any associated modules,
be sure to recheck all wiring connections and
terminations thoroughly.
Powering Up
When the controller and modules are rst powered up, the
POWER LED should light up and stay on continuously. If it
does not light up, check to be sure you have 24 VAC connected
to the controller, that the wiring connections are tight, and they
are wired for the correct polarity. The 24 VAC power must be
connected so all ground wires remain common. If after making
all these checks, the POWER LED does not light up, please
contact AAON Controls Support for assistance.

WIRING
RSMVQ Inputs Wiring
RSMVQ Wiring
The RSMVQ uses an E-BUS cable to connect to the VCCX2
Controller. Only one RSMVQ can be connected. There are two
E-BUS expansion ports which allow connection to the VCCX2
Controller, communicating sensors, and other E-BUS modules.
The RSMVQ uses four analog inputs, two binary inputs, four
relays, and two analog outputs. See Figure 2, this page, for inputs
wiring and Figure 3, page 9, for outputs wiring.
Head Pressure Control
The RSMVQ can monitor the Head Pressure Transducers and
control condenser fans to maintain a Head Pressure Setpoint. The
condenser fans will be controlled with a 0-10 VDC output signal.
Condenser and Compressor Conguration
Options
Please see pages 31-34 for condenser and compressor
conguration details.
WARNING: Observe polarity! All boards must be wired
with GND-to-GND and 24 VAC-to-24
VAC. Failure to observe polarity will result
in damage to one or more of the boards.
Expansion modules must be wired in such
a way that the expansion modules and the
controller are always powered together. Loss
of power to the expansion module will cause
the controller to become inoperative until
power is restored to the expansion module.

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
RSMVQ Inputs and Outputs
RSMVQ Inputs and Outputs
+5 - VDC Power
This output is a 5 VDC output that supplies power to the Head
Pressure Transducer 1.
HP1 - Head Pressure Transducer 1
The Head Pressure Transducer is used to measure Head Pressure
at the discharge line. This Head Pressure is used to drive
Condenser Fan 1 to maintain a given Head Pressure Setpoint.

TEMP1 - Discharge Temperature Sensor 1
This sensor is the Discharge Line Temperature Sensor for Circuit 1.
It is the G010470 Thermistor 10K ohm strap-on pipe sensor.
It is strapped to the discharge line immediately after the VFD
compressor and is used as a safety against high compressor
temperatures. Units with Copeland™VFDs have the Discharge
Line Temperature Sensor wired directly to the drive. Units with
Danfoss VFDs will have a Discharge Line Temperature Sensor
wired to TEMP 1 of the RSMVQ.
TEMP2 - Saturation Temperature Sensor 2
This sensor is the Suction Saturation Temperature Sensor for
Circuit 2. It is the G049490 Thermistor 10K strap-on pipe
sensor. It is strapped to the evaporator coil immediately after
the Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) and is used to measure the
Suction Saturation Temperature of the second circuit.
BI1 - Compressor Status 1
A wet contact closure (24 VAC) on this input indicates
Compressor 1 is running. Typically, the source for this is a relay
output from the VCCX2. If BI1 opens, a compressor alarm will
be generated. Compressor 1 relay needs to be congured on the
VCCX2 as “A1 Compressor Run Status.”
BI2 - Compressor Status 2
A wet contact closure (24 VAC) on this input indicates
Compressor 2 is running. Typically, the source for this is a relay
output from the auxiliary contact on the compressor starter. If
BI2 opens, Compressor 2 Enable relay and Compressor 2 High
Speed Enable relay will de-energize and a compressor alarm
will be generated.
NOTE: The binary inputs require wet contacts (24 VAC
only) to recognize an active input. If you provide
dry contacts, the contact closure will not be
recognized.

12 RSMVQ Technical Guide
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Cooling Mode and Dehumidication Operation
Cooling Mode Operation
Cooling Mode control staging is determined by the Supply Air
Temperature. Staging is met by turning the on/o compressor on
or o and the two-step compressor to low speed or high speed.
VFD compressor modulation is determined from Saturation
Temperature and Supply Air Temperature. If the Supply and
Saturation Temperatures are above their respective Setpoints,
the compressors will modulate up. If the Supply or Saturation
Temperatures are below their Setpoints, the compressors will
modulate down. Envelope and/or current protections also aect
the VFD compressor modulation.
Staging Up
1. If the Supply Air Temperature is above the Setpoint,
Compressor 1 VFD will turn on at the recommended
manufacturer’s speed for one minute. Compressor 1
VFD will modulate anytime thereafter if it is running.
2. If the Supply Air Temperature is above the setpoint
plus window, and Compressor 1 VFD is at 100% of its
capacity, Compressor 2 will turn on at low speed and
Compressor 1 will be reset to 67% of its range (min
to max). Compressor 1 VFD will modulate anytime
thereafter if it is running.
3. If the Supply Air Temperature remains above the
Setpoint plus window, and Compressor 1 VFD is at
100% of its capacity, Compressor 2 will be set to high
speed and Compressor 1 will be reset to 67% of its
range (min to max).
Staging Down
1. If the Supply Air Temperature is below the Setpoint
plus window and Compressor 1 VFD is at minimum
capacity, Compressor 2 will be set to low speed and
Compressor 1 will be reset to 67% of its range (min
to max).
2. If the Supply Air Temperature remains below the
Setpoint plus window, and Compressor 1 VFD is at
minimum capacity, Compressor 2 will be turned o
and Compressor 1 will be reset to 67% of its range
(min to max).
3. If the Supply Air Temperature continues to remain
below the Setpoint plus window, and Compressor 1
VFD is at minimum capacity, Compressor 1 will be
turned o.
4. If the Supply Air Temperature rises above the Setpoint
and Compressor 1 VFD’s minimum o time has been
met, Compressor 1 will be turned back on.
Dehumidication Operation
Dehumidication Mode control staging/modulation is determined
by using the lowest saturation temperature from each circuit.
Circuit 1 uses Superheat Controller Saturation Temperature and
Circuit 2 uses the Saturation Coil Temperature Sensor (Temp 2
input) mounted after the TXV.
Staging Up
1. Staging begins when the RSMVQ Module obtains the
Reheat Valve position and Reheat Supply Air Error
from the AAON unit controller. Compressor 1 VFD
will turn on at the manufacturer’s recommended
speed for one minute. Compressor 1 VFD will
modulate any time thereafter based on the Saturation
Temperature (lowest of both circuit’s readings).
2. If the Saturation Temperature (lowest of both
circuits’ readings) is above the Setpoint plus window,
Compressor 2 will turn on at low speed.
3. If the Saturation Temperature (lowest of both circuits’
readings) is above the Setpoint plus window, If the
Saturation Temperature of Circuit 2 is above the
Setpoint plus window, Compressor 1 VFD is at 67%
of its range min to max, the reheat valve is at 100%,
and the Supply Air Temperature is below the Reheat
Setpoint, Compressor 2 will be set to high speed.
Staging Down
1. If the Saturation Temperature of Circuit 2 is below the
Setpoint plus window, Compressor 1 VFD is below
50% (adjustable), and the reheat valve is below 50%,
Compressor 2 will be set to low speed.
2. If the Saturation Temperature of Circuit 1 is below
the Setpoint plus window and Compressor 1 VFD is
at minimum, Compressor 1 will be staged o.
NOTE: Compressor 2 cannot be turned off in
Dehumidication Mode unless failed on alarm
fault.

13RSMVQ Technical Guide
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Envelope Protection
Envelope Protection
The minimum operating speed reference is read from the VFD
and can change depending on where the compressor is operating
within its envelope.
The VFD compressor is set to 67% at any stage event. Therefore,
whenever a staging event occurs, the VFD compressor position
will be reset to the middle point of the modulation range. This
allows the compressor enough modulation time before making
another staging event to try to avoid cycling between staging
events.

RSMVQ will communicate with the Superheat Controller to set
the desired Superheat Setpoint and to retrieve operational data
for display and trending purposes.
Head Pressure Control
The RSMVQ can monitor a head pressure transducer and control
a condenser fan to maintain a Head Pressure Setpoint.
A condenser relay is commanded on when the rst compressor
is enabled. The condenser fan will be controlled with a 0-10
VDC output signal. When the condenser signal rst activates, it
maintains at 100% for 10 seconds.
In the Cooling Mode, the condenser signal will modulate to
maintain the Cooling Head Pressure Setpoint. The signal can
modulate between 15% and 100%. If the head pressure exceeds
550 psig, the condenser control signal will immediately go to
100% and a high head pressure alarm will be generated. The
alarm will be deactivated when the head pressure drops below
540 psig.
In the Dehumidication Mode, the Condenser Output Signal
controls to the Reheat Head Pressure Setpoint. High head
pressure conditions produce the same eects as in the Cooling
Mode.
If no head pressure sensor is detected, the Condenser Output
Signal will be maintained at 100%.
During condenser fan head pressure control, the Head Pressure
Setpoint will decrease when the VFD compressor speed
decreases. See Table 3, this page.

LCD SCREENS
Alarms Screens
Alarms Screen
If an alarm is present, the ALARM LED above the LCD display
will light up red and blink. The alarms will display and scroll
automatically from the ALARMS screen when alarms are present.
NO ALARMS: This will be shown if there are no current alarms.
DMQ NOT DETECTED: This will be shown if no communication
exists between the RSM and DMQ.
EBUS SLAVE (SLV) TIMEOUT: This alarm indicates that
communication has been lost between the RSMVQ and the
AAON controller. This can be the result of a bad cable, a missing
cable, or the module not being congured properly.
NO SUCTION PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (SUCT) DETECTED:
This alarm indicates the Suction Pressure Transducer is not
detected by the system. The system will shut down due to unsafe
suction safety and will retry after ve minutes.
NO HEAD PRESSURE TRANSDUCER (HEAD) DETECTED:
This alarm indicates the Head Pressure Transducer is not detected
by the system. This will cause the condenser to go to 100%.
COMPRESSOR (COMP) 1 FAULT: This alarm will occur if the
compressor fails to run 45 seconds after the relay is activated
or if the signal is lost after activation. This will cause an alarm
and will shut down the compressor (relay). The system will retry
after ve minutes.
COMPRESSOR (COMP) 2 FAULT: This alarm will occur if the
compressor fails to run 45 seconds after the relay is activated
or if the signal is lost after activation. This will cause an alarm
and will shut down the compressor (relay). The system will retry
after ve minutes.
HIGH HEAD PRESSURE (HP) DETECTED: This indicates a
High Head Pressure Alarm condition which is activated when
the Head Pressure rises above 550 psig. This will cause the
condenser to go to 100%.
LOW SUCTION PRESSURE FAILURE: This alarm will occur if
suction pressure stays below the Low Suction Pressure Setpoint
for one minute or falls below 40 psig for ve seconds. This
alarm will shut down the system. The system will retry after
ve minutes.
LOW SUCTION PRESSURE (SP) DETECTED: This alarm will
occur if suction pressure falls below the Low Suction Pressure
Setpoint for 20 seconds. The system will try to protect by
lowering compressor modulation percentage.
LOW SUPERHEAT 1 (SH1) DETECTED: This alarm will be
activated when the Superheat is less than 4ºF for two minutes
during normal operation or four minutes during the rst 10
minutes. The system will shut down and will retry after ve
minutes.
LOW SUPERHEAT 2 (SH2) DETECTED: This alarm will be
activated when the Superheat is less than 4ºF for two minutes
during normal operation or four minutes during the rst 10
minutes. The system will shut down. The system will shut down
and will retry after ve minutes.
COIL 1 TEMP 1 FAILURE: This alarm will occur if the coil
temperature is not within operable range (below -32ºF or above
310ºF). This could be the result of a bad sensor or faulty wiring.
This alarm will shut down the system. The system will reset after
ve minutes if the sensor is detected.
COIL 2 TEMP 2 FAILURE: This alarm will occur if the coil
temperature is not within operable range (below -32ºF or above
310ºF). This could be the result of a bad sensor or faulty wiring.
This alarm will shut down the system. The system will reset after
ve minutes if the sensor is detected.
COMP VFD FAULT: This alarm will occur if the Copeland™
VFD compressor communicates through E-BUS that it has shut
down due to a fault condition. The compressor module will
attempt to reset the fault after ve minutes if the compressor
sends the signal that it is okay to reset the fault.
