digital control (DDC) applications include the Carrier Comfort Network
(CCN) and open protocol systems.
Carrier’s Aquazone standard unit
solid-state control system, the Complete C, provides control of the unit
compressor, reversing valve, fan, safety
features, and troubleshooting fault indication features. The Complete C is
one of the most user friendly, low cost,
and advanced control boards found in
the WSHP industry. Many features are
field selectable to provide the ultimate
in field installation flexibility. The
overall features of this standard control
system include:
50 va transformer— Assists in
accommodating accessory loads.
As an ENERGY STA R ®Partner,
Carrier Corporation has determined that this product meets
the E
NERGY STA R guidelines
for energy efficiency.
Features/Benefits (cont)
Anti-short cycle timer— Provides a
minimum off time to prevent the unit
from short cycling. The 5-minute timer
energizes when the compressor is
deenergized, resulting in a 5-minute
delay before the unit can be restarted.
Random start relay — Ensures a
random delay in energizing each different WSHP unit. This option minimizes
peak electrical demand during start-up
from different operating modes or after
building power outages.
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 sequentially, 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 temperatures to warn when the heat pump
is operating inefficiently or beyond
typical operating range. A field selectable switch initiates a warning code on
the unit display.
Water coil freeze protection
(selectable for water or antifreeze) — Field selectable switch for
water and water/glycol solution systems initiates a fault when temperatures 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) — Tes t
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 overflow, and control status.
Carrier PremierLink™ controller adds reliability, efficiency,
and simplification
The PremierLink direct digital controller 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, cooling
stages, outdoor-air temperature,
leaving-air temperature, leaving water
temperature, alarm status, and alarm
lockout condition.
This controller has 38.4K baud
communications capability and is compatible with ComfortLink™ Controls,
CCN and ComfortVIEW™ Software.
The Scrolling Marquee and Navigator
are optional tools used for programming and monitoring the unit for optimal performance. Adding the Carrier
CO
sensor in the conditioned space
2
provides ASHRAE 62-99 compliance
and Demand Control Ventilation
(DCV). A DCV control strategy is especially beneficial for a water source heat
pump system to minimize the energy
used to condition ventilation air. In
combination with energy efficient
Aquazone units, DCV may be the most
energy efficient approach ever developed for a water source heat pump
system.
The PremierLink peer-to-peer,
Internet ready communicating control
is designed specifically for Constant
Volume and Variable Volume Temperature applications. This comprehensive
controls system allows water source
heat pumps to be linked together, creating a fully functional HVAC (heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning) automation system.

Options and accessories
Factory-installed options
Cupronickel heat exchangers are available for higher
corrosion protection for applications such as open tower,
geothermal, etc. Consult the water quality guidelines for
proper application and selection of this option.
Thermostat options include a unit mounted Manual
Changeover (MCO) or Auto Changeover (ACO) thermostat. The temperature set point knob and push button
switches for fan speed and cool/heat mode (MCO) selection are conveniently located on the top. The thermostat
senses the return-air temperature. The thermostat sends
the appropriate signal to the controller for cooling or heating mode of operation.
Options R and S allow connection to a remote wallmounted thermostat. The Complete C controller requires a
heat pump thermostat. The Deluxe D controller can be
configured for heat pump or heat/cool thermostat.
Extended range is provided to insulate the coaxial coil to
prevent condensation, and therefore potential dripping
problems, in applications where the entering water
temperature is below the normal operating range (less than
60 F).
Cabinet options include a locking control panel for
added security. Bottom or front return with left or right
hand configurations are available for ease of installation.
Available with 3 or 5 in. subbase, with or without motorized damper.
Motorized fresh air damper with the unit-mounted
thermostat. Opens when LOW or HIGH fan speed selections are made from the push button switches. When
STOP or FAN ONLY selections are made the spring return
on the damper motor closes the damper. With remote
thermostat the motorized fresh air damper opens when the
fan is running.
Piping connections can be provided on either the right
or left hand side of the unit, for easy installation. Orientation is determined by facing the unit from the front side.
Automatic flow regulators include internally mounted
2.25 or 3.0 gpm/ton automatic flow regulating valves for
easier install
Two-way motorized control valve can be provided with
a copper or cupronickel heat exchanger for applications
involving open type systems or variable speed pumping.
This valve will slowly open and close in conjunction with the
compressor operation to shut off or turn on water to the
unit. Standard two-way valve performance includes Cv of
2.9 and maximum operating pressure differential (MOPD)
of 125 psi.
Mute package includes high density noise suppression
material on front, right, and left sides of compressor
compartment and
insulated surfaces, for extra-quiet operation in the most
critical applications.
Deluxe D control system provides the same functions
as the Complete C while incorporating additional flexibility
and functions to include:
Thermostat input capabilities

Accessory relays
cations including fan and compressor cycling, digital night
setback (NSB), mechanical night setback, water valve operation, and outside air damper operation.
Night low limit
either the push button switches, remote thermostat or the
energy management system, it is possible that the space
temperature could drop uncontrollably. The Night Low
Limit feature, with Deluxe D controller, helps maintain the
space temperature at a level that is the best compromise
between energy consumption and a safe space temperature. A thermostat located near the return air filter
activates the blower and compressor operation when the
space temperature falls below 50 F. When return air temperature is raised above 55 F the compressor and blower
stop.
Override function
units operating in occupied/unoccupied mode under the
control of an external timeclock or an energy management
system. A contact closure from the timeclock or energy
management system shorts the NSB and C terminal on the
Deluxe D controller signaling an unoccupied mode.
For units with the unit-mounted thermostat, pressing
override switch (located under control access door) will
override the unoccupied mode and allow the occupied
mode of operation to continue for a period of two hours.
The units with the remote wall-mounted thermostat
require a digital thermostat with the override function. In
unoccupied mode an accessory relay is energized on the
Deluxe D controller. The NO/NC contacts of the relay can
be used as appropriate input to the digital thermostat to
signal occupied/unoccupied mode. The thermostat selects
cooling/heating set points based on occupied/unoccupied
mode.
PremierLink™ controller is compatible with the Carrier
Comfort Network (CCN) and other building automation
systems (BAS). This control is designed to allow users the
access and ability to change factory-defined settings thus
expanding the function of the standard unit.
