High and low pressure refrigerant
protection —Safeguards against
unreliable unit operation and prevents
refrigerant from leaking.
Condensate overflow sensor —
Electronic sensor mounted to the drain
pan. When condensate pan liquid
reaches an unacceptable level, the unit
is automatically deactivated and placed
in a lockout condition. The sensor
recognizes thirty continuous seconds
of overflow as a fault condition.
High and low voltage protection —
Safety protection for excessive or low
voltage conditions.
Automatic intelligent reset —Unit
shall automatically restart 5 minutes
after shutdown if the fault has cleared.
Should a fault occur 3 times sequen-
tially, lockout will occur.
Accessory output —In applications
such as variable speed pumping, a
24-v output cycles a motorized water
valve or damper actuator with
compressor.
Performance monitor (PM) —
Unique feature monitors water temper-
atures to warn when the heat pump
is operating inefficiently or beyond
typical operating range. A field select-
able switch initiates a warning code on
the unit display.
Water coil freeze protection
(selectable for water or anti-
freeze) —Field selectable switch for
water and water/glycol solution sys-
tems initiates a fault when tempera-
tures exceed the selected limit for
30 continuous seconds.
Air coil freeze protection (check
filter operation) —Field selectable
switch for assessing excessive filter
pressure drop initiates a fault when
temperatures exceed the selected limit
for 30 continuous seconds.
Alarm relay setting — Selectable
24-v or pilot duty dry contact provides
remote alarm activation.
Electric heat option —Output pro-
vided on the controller for operating
two stages of emergency electric heat.
Service Test mode with diagnostic
LED (light-emitting diode) —Test
mode allows service personnel to
check the operation of the WSHP
and control system efficiently. Upon
entering Test mode, time delays speed
up, and the Status LED flashes a code
indicating the last fault. This mode
provides easy fault diagnosis; based on
the fault code the status LED flashes,
Carrier provided troubleshooting tables
provide easy reference to typical
problems.
LED visual output —An LED panel
indicates high pressure, low pressure,
low voltage, high voltage, air/water
freeze protection, condensate over-
flow, and control status.
WSHP Open multiple protocol
controller — Carrier's state of the art
water source heat pump multiple pro-
tocol controller is capable of communi-
cating BACnet™, Modbus®*, N2, and
LON (with a separate card) protocols.
The controller is designed specifically
for Carrier's WSHPs in order to bring
more features and benefits to the units
such as waterside economizer control,
auxiliary heat, dehumidification, etc., in
addition to independent compressor
and fan operation. The WSHP Open
controller can be used to actively moni-
tor and control all modes of operation
as well as monitor the following diag-
nostics and features: unit number, zone
temperature, zone set point, zone hu-
midity set point, discharge air tempera-
tures, fan status, stages of heating,
stages of cooling, outdoor-air tempera-
ture, leaving-air temperature, leaving
water temperature, alarm status, and
alarm lockout condition.
The controller also provides a pro-
active approach to maintenance and
service enabling the unit to recognize
and correct operating conditions out-
side of recommended operating condi-
tions avoiding the need to manually re-
start equipment. From a system stand-
point WSHP Open controller can
accept both water and airside linkage.
Condenser water linkage provides
optimized water loop operation using
the UC (universal controller) Open XP
loop controller. Loop pump operation
is automatically controlled by WSHP
equipment occupancy schedules, unoc-
cupied demand and tenant override
conditions. Positive pump status feed-
back prevents nuisance fault trips.
Airside linkage enables the WSHP
equipment to be completely integrated
with the Carrier's VVT®application as
a system. The WSHP Open controller
responds to individual zone demands
rather than average temperature condi-
tions to provide individual temperature
control in each zone.
This controller has a 38.4 kilobaud
communications capability and is com-
patible with i-Vu®Open building auto-
mation system controls and CCN con-
trols. The addition of the Carrier CO2
sensor in the conditioned space pro-
vides ASHRAE 62-99 compliance and
demand controlled ventilation (DCV). A
DCV control strategy is especially ben-
eficial for a water source heat pump
system to minimize the energy utilized
to condition ventilation air. In combina-
tion with energy efficient Aquazone
units, DCV may be the most energy ef-
ficient approach ever developed for a
water source heat pump system.
The WSHP Open multiple protocol
controller is designed specifically for
constant volume (CV) and variable
volume and temperature (VVT®) appli-
cations. This comprehensive controls
system allows water source heat pumps
to be linked together to create a fully
functional HVAC (heating, ventilation,
and air conditioning) automation
system.
PremierLink™ controller adds
reliability, efficiency, and
simplification
The PremierLink direct digital control-
ler can be ordered as a factory-installed
option. Designed and manufactured
exclusively by Carrier, the controller
can be used to actively monitor and
control all modes of operation as well
as monitor the following diagnostics
and features: unit number, zone tem-
perature, zone set point, zone humidity
set point, discharge air temperatures,
fan status, stages of heating, stages of
cooling, outdoor-air temperature, leav-
ing-air temperature, leaving water tem-
perature, alarm status, and alarm lock-
out condition.
This controller has a 38.4 kilobaud
communications capability and is
compatible with i-Vu Open building au-
tomation system controls and CCN
controls. The addition of the Carrier
CO2sensor in the conditioned space
provides ASHRAE 62-99 compliance
and demand controlled ventilation
(DCV). A DCV control strategy is espe-
cially beneficial for a water source heat
pump system to minimize the energy
utilized to condition ventilation air. In
combination with energy efficient
Aquazone units, DCV may be the most
energy efficient approach ever devel-
oped for a water source heat pump
system.
