OPERATION
CAUTION:
To avoid fouled machinery, extensive unit clean up, and void warranty, do not operate units
without air filters in place, and do not operate units during the construction process.
The BULLDOG Heat Pump provides year round cooling and heating as controlled by the unit
thermostat or by a direct digital controller.
The BULLDOG Heat Pump provides cooling with a water-cooled refrigeration circuit, and
provides heating using a hydronic coil. The compressor operates in the cooling mode only and
shuts down during the heating mode providing for quieter operation, extended compressor
life, and a reduction in energy consumption.
To ensure correct operation, centralized equipment located within the building mechanical
room is automatically controlled to provide each heat pump unit with water that is at the
appropriate temperature and flow rate.

BULLDOG SideWinder –Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
The unit circuit board incorporates six relay outputs with the following functions:
• K1 –Auxiliary relay for cooling valve on a two-valve unit or heat valve on a dehumidification
unit.
• K2 –Heating Relay
• K3 –Alarm Relay
• K4 –Compressor Relay
• K5 –Low Fan
• K6 –High Fan
Each of these relays have, in parallel, a green LED indicator that lights up when the relay is
energized.
The circuit board incorporates digital inputs that are opto-coupled to a 24V AC source. These have
amber LED indicators located near the input locations which are lit when the input is closed. The
inputs include:
• High Pressure Switch (LED 11)
• Low Pressure Switch (LED 12)
• Heat Call (W on thermostat terminal)
• Cool Call (Y on thermostat terminal)
• Fan Call (G on thermostat terminal)
• Auxiliary (A on thermostat terminal)
• Compressor shutdown (24V AC signal thru O/O). Providing a continuous 24V potential to
O/O will terminate and prevent compressor operation. This can be used for duty-cycling,
minimizing power consumption during an emergency power period or during sufficiently
low outdoor air temperatures which allow for free cooling –all while maintaining the
heating function.
• Unit shutdown (24V AC signal thru A/O). Providing a continuous 24V AC potential to A/O
will terminate and prevent unit operation. This can be used for a night shutdown. On both
arrangements a single 24V AC signal can shutdown many units. ¼ VA is required per unit.
Finally, the board has four analog inputs provided via thermistors. These inputs are as follows:
• Ta –Discharge Air Temperature
• Tr –Refrigerant Temperature
• Tw –Outgoing Water Temperature
• Co –Condensate Level
Ta, Tr, And Tw are 10k Ohm NTP thermistors, while Co is a 100 Ohm NPT thermistor. These
Inputs do not have LED indicators.

BULLDOG SideWinder –Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
FAN OPERATION
1. A call on “G” for fan on the thermostat terminal strip will cause the fan to operate
continuously on low fan speed through K5.
2. A call on “W” for heat on the thermostat terminal strip will also cause the fan to
operate on low speed. If the heating call is still present after a 10 minute period, the
multi speed units will switch the fan to high speed through Relay K6.
3. A call on “Y”for cooling on the thermostat terminal strip will cause the fan on multi-
speed units to immediately step up to high speed through Relay K6.
4. Fan operation will terminate whenever all calls are dropped.
5. When the fan is operating at high speed, both relays are energized along with their
associated LED indicators.
HEATING OPERATION
1. A call on “W” for heat will activate the fan at low speed. It will simultaneously energize
the heat relay K2 and its associated LED. The relay K2 will provide 24V AC fused power
directly to the heat valve.
COOL START UP
1. A call on “Y”for cooling initiates a series of checks prior to the start up of the
compressor. These checks include:
a. Power ON timer –Compressor operation is delayed for approximately 5 minutes
after restoration of power. This prevents all units from coming on line at the
same time when power is restored. It also prevents compressor jolting with
intermittent power.
b. Anti-Recycle timer –There is a 5-minute anti-recycle delay timer that allows the
refrigeration cycle to achieve pressure equalization so that the compressor is
unloaded upon start up.
c. High Pressure Switch –The high refrigerant pressure switch must be closed prior
to start. LED 11 will be ON.
d. Low Pressure Switch –The low pressure switch operates primarily as a loss of
charge protector. It must be closed for compressor start up and its LED 12 will
be ON. The pressure switch has a 1 minute time ignore subsequent to start-up.
In some situations, particularly when the unit is cold, the pressure switch will
open during start-up. If the switch does not remake within the ignore period,
the compressor will immediately be stopped.
e. Air temperature sensor Ta –Sensor Ta will prevent compressor operation if the
air flowing through the unit is below 55°F (15°C).
f. Water temperature sensor Tw –Sensor Tw will prevent compressor operation if
the outgoing fluid temperature is above 125°F (52°C).
g. Refrigerant temperature sensor Tr –Sensor Tr will prevent compressor
operation if the coil temperature is below 40°F (2°C).
h. Any of the above faults will be indicated with the Diagnostic Code
described under the DIAGNOSTICS section.

BULLDOG SideWinder –Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
COOL OPERATION
1. Monitoring of the refrigerant cycle continues during operation of the compressor. T he
following malfunctions will cause the compressor to shutdown:
a. If the head pressure exceeds the set point of the high pressure switch, the switch
will open and the control board will terminate the compressor operation within
10 seconds. At this time a flash code of 6 will be initiated on the red diagnostic
LED 15. Compressor operation will be restored in accordance with the
“ I n te llig e n t reset”algorithm.
b. If the suction pressure drops below the set point of the low pressure switch, the
switch will open and if it remains open beyond the 1 minute ignore period after
start up, compressor operation will be terminated within 10 seconds.
Compressor operation will be restored in accordance with the “Intelligent Reset”
algorithm. A flash code of 5 on the red diagnostic LED will be initiated at t his
time .
c. Intelligent Reset Algorithm –If a low or high pressure switch opens and remains
open for more than 10 minutes, a hard lockout will be initiated and the cooling
mode will be locked off until the controls are manually reset. At the same time
the fault relay K3 will be set to alarm; however, if the open switch closes within
10 minutes a restart cycle is initiated. The restart cycle begins with a 10 minute
delay after which if there is a cool call in place and all other enablers are within
the start parameters, the compressor will again be put into operation. Should
either of the pressure switches open again, the shutdown procedure will cycle
again, followed by a restart. The intelligent reset will allow two open switch
shutdowns and restarts in a 24 hour period. If a third shutdown occurs within
24 hours this will put the refrigeration system into a full and hard lockout,
requiring a power down to reset. If two or less switch open shutdowns occur
within a 24 hour period, they will be erased from memory and will not
contribute to a future hard lockout. (A hard lockout will prevent compressor
operation until the controls are powered down for at least 20 seconds, and the
green power light goes out. A soft lockout is a compressor shutdown that will
be restored once the condition causing the shutdown returns to normal.)
d. During compressor operation, refrigerant temperature, system fluid temper a ture
and discharge air temperature are continuously monitored. If the refrigerant
temperature drops below 40°F, compressor operation will be disabled. After 10
minutes an auto reset occurs and the compressor will be enabled as soon as the
temperature rises above 65°F. Actual compressor restart will be delayed a
minimum of 5 minutes by the anti-recycle timer. A flash code
of 2 will be initiated upon a low refrigerant temperature shutdown.

BULLDOG SideWinder –Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
e. If during compressor operation the condenser leaving temperature rises above
140°F, compressor operation will be disabled. After 10 minutes an auto reset
occurs and the compressor will be enabled as soon as the temperature drops
below 120°F. The outgoing system fluid sensor is mounted on the leaving fluid
pipe. Actual compressor restart will be delayed a minimum of 5 minutes by the
anti-recycle timer. A flash code of 3 will be initiated upon a high outgoing system
fluid temperature shutdown.
f. If the discharge air temperature drops below 40°F, compressor operation will
be disabled. After 10 minutes an auto reset occurs and the compressor will be
enabled as soon as the temperature rises above 55°F. The discharge air
temperature sensor is mounted on the fan housing. Actual compressor restart
will be delayed a minimum of 5 minutes by the anti-recycle timer. A flash code
of 4 will be initiated upon a low discharge air temperature shutdown.
g. The condensate level sensor is a 100 ohm thermistor that is heated for 15
seconds every 4 minutes. Its temperature is measured at the beginning of the
heat cycle, and again at the end of the heating cycle. If the condensate level
rises above the sensor it will not warm up during the warm up cycle, and the
temperature change will be insignificant. It is this lack of temperature change
that the controller sees as an impending condensate overflow. When high
condensate level is detected, compressor operation is immediately terminated,
and at the same time the fan is stopped for 30 seconds, and then restarted. At
this time a flash code of 7 will be initiated. The 4 minute cycle will continue until
the cooling call is no longer in place. If the condensate level drops below the
sensor, compressor operation will be returned to normal. However, if the
condensate level stays above the sensor for more than 15 minutes, the fault
alarm will be triggered. This fault signal will automatically reset once the
condensate level goes below the sensor.
Note: The last flash code will be maintained in memory for 1 week or until the unit controls are
powered down. The flash code will continue until the problem has cleared and the compressor has
been put into operation. If a cooling call is in place, it must be disengaged before the cause of the
last alarm shutdown can be identified.

BULLDOG SideWinder –Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
OPERATION ALGORITHM
There are several control algorithms to prevent cycling and problematic operation. These are:
1. Double Call –If thermostat connections or set up is incorrect resulting in a simultaneous
call for both heating and cooling, the unit will not operate. This condition can be
observed on the thermostat connection LEDs. (Note: A heat pump thermostat will
present this scenario)
2. Reverse Cycle Call –Poorly located automatic changeover thermostats (i.e. thermostats
mounted on a wall opposite a discharge grill, or a thermostat in a doorway to outside)
can trigger heating and cooling mode changes many times an hour. The CGC controller
has a 10-minute anti-mode change timer for both heating and cooling mode changes.
The controller will not accept a change in mode until 10 minutes have elapsed since
termination of the opposite call.
THERMOSTAT CONNECTIONS
The CGC control board has been designed to operate with most standard 24V AC thermostats.
These are powered from the CGC board with 24V AC and simply switch power ON to each of the
Heat (W), Cool (Y), Fan (G) or Aux (A). While most present day thermostats operate in this manner
there are others that may or may not work properly. The following should be checked out for
satisfactory performance prior to installation:
1. Heat Pump Thermostat –Some heat pump units do not have heat relays (therefore are
not compatible with standard thermostats) and require “Heat Pump Thermostats”.
These thermostats call for both heating and cooling on one of the signal wires. These
thermostats are completely incompatible with CGC’s controller.
2. Battery powered thermostats –These thermostats were developed as replacements for
old mercury bulb thermostats that had 4 wire connections while 24V electronic
thermostats required 5 wires. These will work with a CGC board, although CGC does not
recommend them. They require periodic battery replacement, which is something that
should be avoided if possible.
3. Power stealing thermostats –This type of thermostat is electronic and was also
developed as a replacement for old mercury bulb thermostats. These too are
problematic in that they bleed a small amount of current down the signal wires and this
may be interpreted as a signal for heat or cool.
4. Triac switched controllers –This is a commonly used switching device and all controllers
tested to date have functioned flawlessly. CGC recommends that prior to installation of a
third party supplied controller, it be checked for compatibility. CGC can confirm this.
5. Relay switched controllers –This type of controller works well with CGC devices.

BULLDOG SideWinder –Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
SHUTDOWN OUTPUT
The CGC board has an optional input terminal strip that allows for two types of remote shutdown.
These are a) compressor shutdown and b) unit shutdown.
The advantage of these inputs is that many units can be connected in parallel and when powered
by an independent 24V AC signal one or both of these actions can be implemented. Common uses
are:
a. Duty cycling for demand control
b. Global night setback
c. Heating only mode during emergency power periods
The CGC controller is also set up so these shutdown functions can be initiated individually with on
board 24V power. This capability allows unit or compressor shutdown based on a door switch, a
light switch, or occupancy switch. A separate 24V power supply is required if two or more units are
being shutdown.
FAULT ALARM OUTPUT
The CGC board is provided with a fault alarm indication and output. The fault alarm relay
provides normally open and normally closed contacts for use in transmitting fault conditions.
NOTE: The fault alarm is energized for NORMAL, and de-energized for fault. As such, if the unit
is not powered, if the board fuse is blown, or if the electronics are damaged, a fault condition
will be indicated.
The fault relay is paralleled with the Fault LED which will be ON when no fault condition exists.
Other fault conditions are:
a. Hard lockout due to high or low pressure switch being open for 10 minutes or longer.
b. Hard lockout due to three high or low pressure shutdowns in a 24 hour period.
c. High level condensate for a period in excess of 15 minutes.

BULLDOG SideWinder –Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
COMMISSION & START UP
SYSTEM FLUSHING:
Proper system cleaning and flushing is an important aspect of the commissioning and start up
procedure for BULLDOG units. Ensure the system has been flushed properly. This prevents fouling
of the unit’s heat exchangers. It is common for debris to settle out in areas of the system where
there is low flow or low fluid velocity. This causes nuisance alarms as a result of a fouling heat
pump. It is necessary to flush these units out as they appear to contain debris build up. This is the
responsibility of the contractor and not a heat pump defect.
NOTE: Hydronic coils are not 100% drainable.
SYSTEM FLUID:
Ensure that system water temperature is within an acceptable range to facilitate start-up (80-
120°F) for cooling and (100 –140°F) for heating.
SYSTEM WATER PH:
System water should have a neutral pH balance of approximately 7.5 which will extend the life
of the hoses, heat exchangers, and other water side accessories.
WATER FLOW RATE:
Open all isolation valves to the unit. Ensure that the entering and leaving fluid temperatures of
the BULLDOG unit in operation are acceptable. There is typically an 8 to 12 degree drop or rise
in temperature, depending on whether the unit is in cooling or heating. Under extreme
conditions, slight variances in the temperature may be noted.
FREEZE PROTECTION FROM WATER SYSTEM:
Ensure that freeze protection is provided for the outdoor portion of the loop water system.
Inadequate freeze protection can lead to coil damage.
NOTE: A potential issue may arise during construction where the system fluid loop is drained
after being cleaned, flushed and tested. BULLDOG units will not completely drain and may
hold fluid in the condenser or heating coil. Extensive damage may result to internal
components if the system fluid freezes unless adequate glycol is added.
REMOVE AIR FROM SYSTEM FLUID LOOP:
Air in the system impairs unit operation and can cause erosion in the system piping.
AIR BALANCING:
Air balancing of the system should be performed while the unit’s fan is operating at high-
speed. In order to ensure the fan is operating at high-speed, the unit must be placed into cool
mode.

BULLDOG SideWinder –Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual
CLEAN UNIT FILTERS:
Confirm that the unit filters that are being used are clean. This contributes to the proper
operation of the unit by ensuring that there is adequate air flow across the coil.
SAFETY NOTE:
In the following part of the procedure it will be necessary to access the areas around the
electrical wiring and the circuit board. Do not adjust or remove any board connections or
wiring connections to other components without first powering down the unit. Disconnects
are usually within reach of the unit. Exercise caution at all times.
Inspect the fan section to ensure that it is clear of any debris and that the fan rotates freely.
BULLDOG (008-060) units come equipped with a single-phase fan and single phase
compressors that are matched to each other as well as the other internal components.
Although internal connections to the fan and compressor are made at the factory, variances in
power supply in the field will require that components be tested for correct operation. The
procedure is outlined below:
• Single phase fan motors will always turn in the right direction and are not phase
rotation sensitive.
If the operation is correct, power OFF the unit and replace the thermostat block, the electrical
panel cover, and the front panel of the unit.
NOTE: This equipment is designed for indoor installation ONLY.
