General Information
There will need to be existing internet access and Wi-Fi router in the installed location of the AWL. The AWL is a Wi-Fi device
that will use the existing internet and router to send information to a web portal. The AWL must be used in conjunction with
the Aurora controls and will provide a Wi-Fi enabled comfort system. The consumer will be able to view and adjust thermostat
settings as well as view detailed energy usage graphs and they can receive fault/lockout texts and e-mail via their smart device.
The dealer/technician will have access to the Wi-Fi AID tool as well as fault/lockout texts and e-mail via their smart device. The
dealer/technician can also have access to historical data of the heat pump which includes refrigerant pressures, temperatures and
component energy consumption for troubleshooting (if unit is equipped with AXB).
NOTE: The AWL also requires one of the following thermostats be installed: TPCM32U03A, TPCM32U04A, TPCC32U01, or
MasterStat.

Aurora WebLink (AWL) Installation and Configuration
Compatibility
The Symphony Aurora WebLink (AWL) system is backward compatible to several 5 and 7 Series packaged models that support
Aurora ABC and have a communicating thermostat. Before applying the AWL to the heat pump, make sure both the ABC, AXB (if
equipped), and communicating thermostats (TPCC32U01, TPCM32U03A, TPCM32U04A, or MasterStat,) have the latest firmware.
Using the AID Tool, confirm that the firmware versions meet the requirements in the Compatibility table (Reference the chart be-
low) before installing AWL. Visit www.auroracontrols.com/toolbox to obtain the latest firmware if needed.
Without a communicating thermostat the system is NOT compatible. A communicating thermostat can however replace a 24V
thermostat and provide compatibility for relatively low cost to the homeowner. The IntelliZone and IntelliZone2 ●24V are NOT
compatible with Symphony since neither are fully communicating systems. For systems with TPCM thermostats, a revision “A” mod-
el will need to be used for compatibility. Early 5 Series units with base controls were shipped with ABC Rev1 boards. If you have an
ABC Rev1 board it will need to be replaced with p/n 17X553-00.
Sensor Kit Options
Sensor kits are all optional but obviously with more sensors, more data can be gathered and transmitted for service use. Without
an AXB, energy data cannot be collected. Sensor kits can be added to existing heat pumps. (5 and 7 Series only)
The optional sensor kits are:
• AXB Kit - 5SAK
• Refrigeration Monitoring Kit (AXB board required) - 5SRK
• Performance Monitoring Kit (AXB board required) 5SPKS-HW or 5SPKL-HW

Software versions in parenthesis are compatible, but were earlier versions used during field trials. These software versions should be updated to
the latest versions at the earliest convenience.
* Although the 3 Series (and 5 Series without AXB) are compatible and will provide the consumer with wireless thermostat functionality, the
limitation remains that very little sensor data can be transmitted without an AXB expansion board. The AXB is not available on the 3 Series.
** The existing TPCM32U03 or U04 monochrome communicating thermostat is NOT compatible with the Symphony/AWL and will need replaced
with the TPCM32U03A or U04A or the TPCC thermostat with appropriate firmware version.
# Early shipments of the 5 Series with base control only (no AXB) included the ABC Rev 1 and will need to be replaced with the ABC Rev 2 for
Symphony Compatibility.
ABC Rev1 versus Rev2 can be identified per the photos included in this document.

How to Update a 3, 5, or 7 Series System for Symphony
The Update Process
We have developed a central webpage (www.auroracontrols.com/toolbox) for all of this information. In addition, the Aurora Up-
date Kit and its accompanying Aurora Toolbox Software package provide all of the tools necessary for updating a system to com-
patibility. The Aurora Update Kit includes two PICkit3 ABC/AXB control board updaters, flash drives to update the TPCC32U01 and
MasterStat, and a link to the Aurora Toolbox Software to load them. Here are the general steps to update a system. Please consult
latest literature on www.auroracontrols.com/toolbox or in the Aurora Toolbox Software.
1. Purchase Aurora Programming Tool Kit (APTK01)
2. Download Aurora Toolbox Software to load most recent firmware in PICkit3 and flash drives.
3. Visit jobsite
4. Review thermostat/MasterStat, ABC and AXB firmware versions in the AID Tool.
5. Confirm thermostats are communicating style and appropriate firmware versions. If not update using Flash Drives loaded
using the Aurora Toolbox Software. TPCM thermostat may need replaced. See compatibility table and notes on pages 2-3.
6. Confirm ABC and AXB firmware versions are appropriate firmware versions. If not update using PICkit3 loaded using the
Aurora Toolbox Software.
7. Double check MasterStat and TPCC32U01 thermostat configurations. MasterStat (firmware version 1.06 or less) and TPC-
C32U01 thermostat (firmware version 1.04 or less) will not retain configuration settings. Versions later will retain configuration
settings when updated.
8. Turn Off Unit and unpack Aurora Weblink (AWLK01) and plug into front of unit.
9. Install and configure the AWL.
Troubleshooting Aurora AWL Wi-Fi Range
The Wi-Fi Range of the AWL Router is up to 100 ft. from the home router. This range can be reduced depending upon the wall and
floor material that the Wi-Fi signal must pass through. For instance metal studs of commercial buildings may attenuate the signal
and reduce the transmitting distance. It can be advantageous to move the AWL away from sheet metal ductwork to improve the
performance. If a longer cable is desired for this, standard Cat 5e or better internet cable can be substituted to relocate the AWL
further away. Consult WaterFurnace Tech Service for more details.
Troubleshooting Aurora AWL Router Connection
If internet connection issues arise a Wi-Fi ‘Repeater/Range Extender” could provide relief. These can be purchased from electronic
box stores or online. Also in unusual cases the AWL may have trouble connecting to certain routers with customized firmware such
as local cable or satellite companies with unique connections. In these situations a new router, or second standard home router can
be purchased at the electronics store and hardwired to the original home router. After installing a new router, the AWL must be
reconfigured before reconnecting to the wireless network. After reconfiguration, the AWL is wirelessly connected to the new router
utilizing its more standard firmware. Consult WaterFurnace Tech Service more more details.

External Sump Alarm Sensor for Aurora Controls
The Symphony/AWL System provides the infrastructure not only for status and fault notification of the geothermal unit but also
sensors external to the heat pump. This is accomplished by using the exclusive Home Automation Inputs of the Aurora AXB board
and external sensors to provide the same e-mail/text notification for technicians and consumers. This provides a powerful exten-
sion of the Symphony system to include monitoring of other critical home systems. One of these other sensors can be:
• Sump Alarm WA01-Water (Sump) Alarm Sensor for Aurora Controls
This sensor provides a relay closure that can be used to trip a fault when moisture is present. This can be used as a pri-
mary sump alarm or simply a wet basement or signal a blown washing machine hose.
The sensor can be added to any Aurora Advanced Control System (including both ABC and AXB) to monitor a sump pump.
The sensor can be connected to the Aurora Home Automation inputs (HA-1 or HA-2) of the AXB board. These will each
display an E23 and E24 code respectively when the alarm is active and when Symphony/AWL is installed will also produce
text/e-mail notifications for E23 or E24. The inputs should be configured for “Normally open” and the fault text for the
E23 or E24 can be selected by the technician using the AID Setup screens for the appropriate sensor installed. The “Fault
description text” is selectable so the users are aware of exactly which sensor is installed and faulting. These faults DO NOT
affect the operation of the heat pump and are simply passed through the Aurora controls to display on the thermostat and
pass through Symphony to the e-mail/text message notification system for remote monitoring. This provides a powerful ex-
tension of the Symphony system to include monitoring of other critical home systems. The following diagram shows proper
wiring.
