1. General information
Thank you for purchasing an ecoSMART e-source source manager with your ecoGEO HP heat pump.
This manual contains information about installing, commissioning and troubleshooting the device. There is also useful information
for the end user, such how to navigate and adjust parameters via the control panel.
To ensure optimal performance of the e-source manager, read this manual carefully before installation and commissioning. Keep
this manual handy for future reference.
This manual contains two different kinds of warnings that should be heeded.
NOTE
Indicates a situation that may cause material damage or equipment malfunction. This may also be
used to indicate practices that are recommended or not recommended for the equipment.
DANGER!
Warning of imminent or potential danger which, if not avoided, may result in injury or even death.
This may also be used to warn of unsafe practices.
The e-source manager has been designed to work together with an ecoGEO HP heat pump or together with a cascade of several
ecoGEO HP heat pumps controlled by a supervisor module.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any material damage and/or personal injury resulting from improper use or incorrect
installation of the equipment.
The device must be installed by a licensed installer in accordance with applicable local regulations and in accordance with the
instructions described in the installation manual.
1.1. Safety considerations
The detailed instructions in this section cover important safety aspects and must therefore be strictly complied with.
DANGER!
All the installation and maintenance work described in this manual must be performed by an
authorised engineer.
Improper installation or use of the equipment could cause electrocution, short circuits, leakage of
working fluids, fire or other personal injuries and/or material damage.
If you are unsure of the procedures for installation, maintenance or use of the equipment, contact
your local dealer or technical support for advice.
If you detect a malfunction in the unit, contact your local dealer or technical support to answer any
questions.
This equipment should not be handled by people with physical, sensory or psychological disabilities,
children and people with no suitable experience or knowledge, unless it is under the supervision or
direction of a person responsible for their safety.
When carrying out installation, maintenance or commissioning of the heat pump, always use
appropriate personal protective equipment.

Hydraulic installation
Installation and subsequent interventions on the hydraulic circuits controlled by the e-source manager must be performed only by
an authorised technician in accordance with applicable local regulations and the instructions provided in this manual.
DANGER!
Do not touch the pipes while the unit is in operation or immediately after, as this may result in burns
caused by cold or heat. If these components need to be touched, allow sufficient time for the
temperatures to stabilise and wear protective gloves to avoid injury.
Electrical system
Any intervention on the electrical system must only be performed by an authorised electrician in accordance with applicable local
regulations and the instructions provided in this manual.
DANGER!
The power supply to the unit must have an external switch that can shut off all the circuits. Ecoforest
recommends installing an automatic external switch for each of the electrical power sources (power
supply of the e-source manager and power supply of devices controlled by its DO digital outputs).
Please note that the unit may have more than one electrical power source.
Before performing any operation on the unit, disconnect the power supply.
During installation and maintenance of the unit, never leave the cover open unattended.
Do not touch any electrical component with wet hands, as this could cause an electric shock.
Scrapping
The e-source manager is made from a variety of materials and must therefore be delivered to an authorised centre for proper
scrapping and recycling of said materials.
1.2. Maintenance
The e-source no manager does not require any specific maintenance after commissioning. The internal controller constantly
monitors a large variety of parameters and will alert you if any problem or incident occurs, in which case we recommend that you
contact your dealer.
DANGER!
All maintenance work must be performed by an authorised technician. Improper handling of the
equipment as a whole can result in personal injury and/or damage to materials.
Do not spill water or other liquids directly on the casing or inside it, as this could cause an electric
shock or fire.

2. General description
The ecoSMART source manager is an electronic controller designed to manage several brine energy sources, such as geothermal
circuits or antifreeze/air aerothermal units. It can work with a single ecoGEO HP heat pump or with a cascade of several ecoGEO HP
heat pumps controlled by an ecoSMART supervisor module. In order to do so, pLAN bus communication must be established with
the heat pump or cascade of heat pumps.
The e-source manager can manage up to four independent brine sources. Each source can be configured as an aerothermal or
geothermal brine source. It is also able to control defrosting of each of the aerothermal sources independently and in sequence,
while the heat pump(s) continue(s) to work with the other sources. It can also control a general circulator pump for all brine
sources.

NOTE
The schemes in figures 4.2 and 4.3 are provided only to indicate the electrical connections. The
hydraulic design of the brine system should be carried out by a specialist. Its use in full or in part, as
well as any reproduction or transfer to third parties, is the responsibility of the installation company.
Analogue inputs (AIxx)
These terminals are used to connect external temperature probes. Only passive NTC temperature probes can be connected, so
cable connection polarity is not important.
If necessary, use extension cables with a maximum length of 50 m and a minimum diameter of 0.75 mm2. For greater lengths (up to
120 m) it is recommended to use cable with a section of 1.5 mm2.
NOTE
Use original temperature probes only; other types of components could cause poor heat pump
operation and/or cause heat pump component breakdowns.
Figure 4.4. Example of temperature probe connections.
Digital control inputs (DIxx)
Digital signals (open/closed contact) from thermostats or other external equipment can be connected to these terminals to control
the sources.
NOTE
Take special care with the working voltage of each digital input; improper handling could cause poor
heat pump operation and/or heat pump component breakdowns. Some digital inputs require
voltage-free signals, while others require 24Vac signals. 24Vac signals are sent from their own
terminal block strip.
Do not mix voltage-free and 24Vac signals.

Figure 4.5. Example of voltage-free digital input connections.
NOTE
24Vac external equipment can be connected directly from the e-source manager, and connected
equipment as a whole must not exceed 36VA or 1.5A. Failure to comply with these ranges could
cause poor heat pump operation and/or heat pump component breakdowns.
Figure 4.6. Example of digital input connection with 24Vac voltage.
Analogue outputs (AOxx)
These terminals send analogue 0-10Vdc regulation signals to modulate the control of pumps and/or fans. Moreover, these
connectors have a 24Vac power supply terminal for modulating equipment that requires a 24Vac power supply.

Digital outputs to relay (DOxx)
The relay terminal block provides digital outputs to control external equipment, such as circulator pumps, fans or open/closed
valves. Each relay should be powered externally with the operating voltage of the component to be controlled. Power is supplied to
each relay separately, so different operating voltages can be used in each. The following figure shows an example of an installation
of a relay power supply.
Figure 4.8. Example of digital output relay power supply connections.
Each relay allows independent pole switching; it can thus control the switching on/off of the units, including those powered with a
different voltage. The capacity of the relays is 8A/250Vac per pole. If the equipment to be controlled exceeds this capacity, an
external relay or contactor must be installed. Shown below are examples of connections between circulator pumps and 3-way
valves with controls at 2 or 3 points.
NOTE
Pay special attention to the maximum consumption allowed by each relay. Use an intermediate relay
or a contactor for the connection, if necessary.
Figure 4.9. Example of digital output connections.
4.2. Power supply
The e-source manager only requires one electrical connection. The power supply to the 24Vac transformer connects to it to power
the controller and other devices with low power consumption. The following table shows the characteristics of the necessary
electrical connection:

4.6. Bus communication
In order for the e-source manager to function, it is essential that it has pLAN bus communication with the heat pump or with the
cascade of heat pumps for which it works. Install a three-pole, shielded AWG 20-22 cable between the following terminals.

Some other Ecoforest devices also communicate with each other via their pLAN ports. If you want to use the e-source manager in
an installation that has several Ecoforest controllers (e.g. a cascade of several ecoGEO HP heat pumps with an ecoSMART
Supervisor module), this will form part of the pLAN network together with the other controllers.
The pLAN port of the heat pump or of the ecoSMART Supervisor module may already have several cables connected. Connect the
bus cable from the e-source ecoSMART in the same connector together with the other cables. If it is easier, the bus cable can be
connected at any other point of the pLAN network.
