General Installation Information
Safety Considerations
Installing and servicing air conditioning and heating equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair or service heating and air conditioning equipment. When working on heating and air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations.
NOTE: Before installing, check voltage of unit(s) to ensure proper voltage.
WARNING: Before performing service or maintenance operations on the system, turn off main power switches to the unit. Electrical shock could cause serious personal injury.
Process Water Applications
For process water applications, it is recommended that a secondary load heat exchanger be installed to prevent corrosion to the unit’s primary coaxial coil. In situations where scaling could be heavy or where biological growth such as iron bacteria will be present, a closed loop system is recommended. Over a period of time, ground water unit heat exchanger coils may lose heat exchange capability due to a buildup of mineral deposits. These can be cleaned only by a qualified service mechanic as special pumping equipment and solutions are required.
WARNING: To avoid equipment damage, do not leave the system filled in a building without heat during cold weather, unless adequate freeze protection levels of antifreeze are used. Heat exchangers do not fully drain and will freeze unless protected, causing permanent damage.
Unit Location
Provide sufficient room to make water and electrical connections. If the unit is located in a confined space, provisions must be made for unit servicing. Locate the unit in an indoor area that allows easy removal of the access panels and has enough space for service personnel to perform maintenance or repair. These units are not approved for outdoor installation and, therefore, must be installed inside the structure being conditioned. Do not locate units in areas subject to freezing conditions.
WARNING: Do not store or install units in corrosive environments or in locations subject to temperature or humidity extremes (e.g. attics, garages, rooftops, etc.). Corrosive conditions and high temperature or humidity can significantly reduce performance, reliability, and service life.
Mounting Units
Units should be mounted level on a vibration absorbing pad slightly larger than the base to provide isolation between the unit and the floor. It is not necessary to anchor the unit to the floor. Allow access to the front, back, and side access panels for servicing.
Moving and Storage
Move units in the normal “Up” orientation as indicated by the labels on the unit packaging. When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the bill of lading to ensure that all crates and cartons have been received in good condition. Examine units for shipping damage, removing unit packaging if necessary to properly inspect unit. Units in question should also be internally inspected. If any damage is observed, the carrier should make the proper notation on delivery receipt acknowledging the damage. Units are to be stored in a location that provides adequate protection from dirt, debris and moisture.

Water Quality
General
NSKW heat pumps may be successfully applied in a wide range of residential and light commercial applications. It is the responsibility of the system designer and installing contractor to ensure that acceptable water quality is present and that all applicable codes have been met in these installations. Failure to adhere to the guidelines in the
building’s piping system that the designer may need to take into consideration when deciding the parameters of the water quality.
If an antifreeze or water treatment solution is to be used, the designer should confirm it does not have a detrimental effect on the materials in the system.
water quality table could result in loss of warranty.
Contaminated Water
Water Treatment
Do not use untreated or improperly treated water. Equipment damage may occur. The use of improperly treated or untreated water in this equipment may result in scaling, erosion, corrosion, algae or slime. The services of a qualified water treatment specialist should be engaged to determine what treatment, if any, is required. The product warranty specifically excludes liability for corrosion, erosion or deterioration of equipment.
The heat exchangers and water lines in the units are copper or cupronickel tube. There may be other materials in the

Field Connected Water Piping
NSKW INSTALLATION MANUAL
General
Each unit is equipped with captive female pipe thread (FPT) water connections to eliminate ‘egg-shaping’ from use of a backup wrench. For making the water connections to the unit, a Teflon tape thread sealant is recommended to minimize internal fouling of the piping. Do not over tighten connections. All supply and return water piping should be insulated to prevent excess condensation from forming on the water lines.
NOTES: 1) WaterFurnace recommends a male national pipe thread (NPT) to British standard pipe fitting (BSPF) to adapt to NSKW water connections. 2) Units are factory run­tested using propylene glycol. Prior to connecting piping to unit, thoroughly flush heat exchangers.
The piping installation should provide service personnel with the ability to measure water temperatures and pressures. The water lines should be routed so as not to interfere with access to the unit. The use of a short length of high pressure hose with a swivel type fitting may simplify the connections and prevent vibration. Optional stainless steel hose kits are available as an accessory item.
Before final connection to the unit, the supply and return hose kits must be connected, and the system flushed to remove dirt, piping chips and other foreign material. Normally, a combination balancing and close-off (ball) valve is installed at the return, and a rated gate or ball valve is installed at the supply. The return valve can be adjusted to obtain the proper water flow. The valves allow the unit to be removed for servicing.
The proper water flow must be delivered to each unit whenever the unit heats or cools. To assure proper flow, the use of pressure/temperature ports is recommended
to determine the flow rate. These ports should be located adjacent to the supply and return connections on the unit. The proper flow rate cannot be accurately set without measuring the water pressure drop through the refrigerant­to-water heat exchanger (See Pressure Drop Table for water flow and pressure drop information). Normally about 0.054 L/s per kW flow rate of cooling capacity (0.040 L/s per kW minimum) is needed. Both source as well as load fluid piping must be at least as large as the unit connections on the heat pump (larger on long runs).
Never use flexible hoses of a smaller inside diameter than that of the water connection on the unit and limit hose length to
3.05 m per connection. Check carefully for water leaks.
CAUTION: Water piping exposed to outside temperature may be subject to freezing.
Open Loop Well Water Systems
Always maintain water pressure in the heat exchanger by placing water control valves at the outlet of the unit. Use a closed bladder type expansion tank to minimize mineral deposits. Ensure proper water flow through the unit by checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger and comparing it to the figures in the pressure drop table. Normally, about 0.038 L/s per kW flow rate of cooling capacity is needed in open loop systems, 0.029 L/s per kW minimum if entering source temperature is above 10°C.
Some water control valves draw their power directly from the unit’s 24V transformer and can overload and possibly burn out the transformer. Check total VA draw of the water valve(s) and ensure it is under 40 VA.
Discharge water from a heat pump can be disposed of in various ways depending on local building codes (i.e. recharge

well, storm sewer, drain field, adjacent stream or pond, etc.). Most local codes restrict the use of sanitary sewer for disposal. Consult your local building and zoning departments to ensure compliance in your area.
Earth Coupled Systems with Flow Center
Once piping is completed between the unit, flow center and the earth loop, final purging and charging of the loop is needed. A pump capable of 14 m
3
/hr @ 25 meters of head is needed to achieve adequate flow velocity in the loop to purge air and dirt particles from the loop itself. Antifreeze solution is used in most areas to prevent freezing. Maintain the pH in the 7.6-8.2 range for final charging.
Flush the system adequately to remove as much air as possible. Then, pressurize the loop to a static pressure of 345-517 kPa. This is normally adequate for good system operation. Ensure that the flow center provides adequate flow through the unit by checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger and by comparing it to the figures shown in the Pressure Drop tables. Usually, 0.054 L/s per kW or minimum 0.040 L/s per kW of cooling capacity is needed in closed loop earth-coupled applications.

Installers shall follow the guidelines detailed in Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) Installation Standard MIS 3005 for designing ground loop collectors. Additional guidance on ground collectors is provided by International Ground-Source Heat Pump Association (IGSHPA).
Potable Water Systems
NSKW06-17 kW heat pumps can be equipped with a double-wall vented coaxial heat exchanger capable of hot water generation (HWG). An optional factory-installed hot water generator coil may be provided with NSKW08-17. The temperature of the hot water produced by the heat pump cannot be adjusted and will vary with the inlet temperature. WaterFurnace recommends the use of a properly sized buffer tank equipped with supplemental electric immersion heaters in conjunction with all NSKW models used in an HWG application. Immersion heaters must be capable of heating the water to 60°C at a regular time interval to prevent the build-up of bacteria such as Legionella. Installations must meet minimum requirements outlined in UK Domestic Heating Compliance Guide.
CAUTION: Hot water in excess of 60°C can cause scalding.
Hot Water Generator Connections
The heat reclaiming hot water generator coil is vented double-
wall copper construction and is suitable for potable water. To maximize the benefits of the hot water generator a minimum 50-gallon water heater is recommended. For higher demand applications, use an 80-gallon water heater as shown below or two 50-gallon water heaters connected in a series. A geo storage tank should not be used in this application unless it is plumbed in a series with an electric water heater. The geo storage tank is equipped with a single 4500 Watt element and will not be able to provide adequate water heating if used as a standalone water heater. Electric water heaters are recommended. Make sure all local electrical and plumbing codes are met for installing a hot water generator. The Envision NSKW is not supplied with an internal circulator.

NSKW INSTALLATION MANUAL
General guidelines are shown below for component selection and design/installation criteria for the piping system. Local codes supersede any recommendations in this manual.
Shut Off/Flow Regulation Valves
Use full port ball valves or gate valves for component isolation. If valves are going to be used frequently, ball valves are recommended. Globe valves are designed for flow regulation. Always install globe valves in the correct direction (fluid should enter through the lower body chamber).
Check valves
Swing check valves must be installed in the horizontal position with the bonnet of the valve upright. Spring check valves can be mounted in any position. A flow check valve is required to prevent thermo-siphoning (or gravity flow) when the circulator pump is off or when there are two circulators on the same system.
Storage (Buffer) Tank
A buffer tank is required for all hydronic heating systems
using Envision NSKW heat pumps. The tank should be sized to provide 2 gallons [7.6 L] of storage capacity for every
300W of nominal heat pump capacity.
Pressure Relief Valve
Most codes require the use of a pressure relief valve if a closed loop heat source can be isolated by valves. Even if local code does not require this device, WaterFurnace recommends its installation. If the pressure relief valve in the buffer tank is not already rated at 207 kPa maximum pressure, one must be installed. The pressure relief valve should be tested at start up for operation. Note that the waste pipe must be at least the same diameter as the valve outlet (never reduce), and valves may not be added to this pipe. The bottom of the pipe must terminate at least 15 cm above the floor. If the piping is connected to a drain, there must be an air gap.
Pressure Reducing Valves or Feed Water Valves
This valve lowers the pressure from the make-up water line
to the system. Most are adjustable and directional. A “fast fill” valve is required for initial filling of the system. Some have screens, which must be cleaned after the initial filling. If there is a restriction in the screen, the system could go to 0 kPa, potentially causing pumps(s) failure. A valve should be installed on each side of the pressure reducing valve for servicing. Both valves should have tags reading “Do not shut this valve under normal operation – service valve only.”
Expansion Tanks
Expansion tanks are required on hydronic systems to help absorb the pressure swings as the temperature in the system fluctuates.
Elbows/Tees
Long radius elbows or two 45° elbows will lower pressure drop. Standard tees have a greater restriction on the “T” portion than tees designed with angled outlet ports.
Antifreeze
Antifreeze is required if any of the piping system is located
in areas subject to freezing.
Dielectric Unions
Dielectric unions are recommended whenever connecting two dissimilar metals to one and other to prevent electro­galvanic corrosion.
When using the various types of hydronic heat distribution
systems, the temperature limits of the geothermal system must be a major consideration. In new construction, the distribution system can easily be designed with the temperature limits in mind. In retrofits, care must be taken to address the operating temperature limits of the existing distribution system. The maximum storage tank temperature for the Envision NSKW is 54.4°C. Typical in floor radiant systems require much lower temperatures, typically 37.8°-46.1°C, which is ideal for the Envision NSKW.
Backflow Prevention Check Valves
Most codes require backflow prevention check valves. Note that a single check valve is not equal to a backflow prevention check valve. Even if local code does not require this device, WaterFurnace recommends its installation. This is particularly important if the system will use antifreeze.

pumps are used) to allow trapped air to be discharged and to ensure the motor housing has been flooded.
Route thermistor wires to NSKW. Remove yellow thermistor wires on TB 3 and 4 from control box and connect thermistor wires from geothermal storage tank. Set the pump sampling (PS) in the set up of the control board to continuously (C) sampling (reference Note 5 in the Wiring Schematic).
Adequate rate of flow is very important to system performance and long term reliability. Follow the guidelines for recommended flow and pipe sizing in the NSKW recommendations table.

NSKW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Heat Pump Control
NSKWs come with a factory installed control board that is capable of receiving commands from the internal controller provided with the heat pump. An alternative method is to control the heat pump using an external field supplied
Aquastat or thermostat that will turn the compressor on/off
based on leaving water temperature.
When the heat pump is controlled by the internal controller
it is called “Primary Mode” which allows the user to adjust the comfort level by adjusting temperature setting on the heat pump display. For more information refer to panel configuration on standard controls.
An additional way of controlling the heat pump is by use of
an external control such as an aquastat that gives a signal to the heat pump controlling to enable the compressor output. This mode of control is referred to as “Secondary Mode” and requires components from an external field supplied source. For more information on this control strategy refer to external control section of the manual.
IntelliStart
The optional IntelliStart single phase soft starter will reduce
the normal start current (LRA) by 60%. Using IntelliStart also provides a substantial reduction in light flicker, reduces startup noise, and improves the compressor’s start behavior.

External Control
NSKW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Primary Mode
In dedicated heating or cooling units, the unit is controlled by the internal controller. Compressor output is determined by the entering load-side water temperature.
The secondary output will be energized if two conditions occur:
1. The initial temperature is greater than IC away from the set point.
2. The change in temperature in a given period of time P is less than d.
In a reversible unit, the unit is controlled by the internal controller. Compressor output is determined by the entering load-side water temperature. For reversible units, the jumper wire must be positioned across terminals 6 and 7, (factory default set to this position). Reversible units do not have a secondary output.
NOTES: SL in the configuration menu must be set to 0, (factory default). All parameters should be checked for each application on primary unit, (refer to the parameter table).
WARNING: Reversible units cannot be staged.
Secondary Mode
In dedicated heating or cooling units, secondary mode allows the unit to be controlled by an external source. Compressor output is determined by the Y1 input only.
The secondary output will be energized after the following condition occurs:
1. The change in temperature in a given period of time P is less than d.
In reversible units, secondary mode allows the unit to be controlled by an external source. Compressor output is determined by the Y1 input and the reversing valve is determined by the O input. In reversible units, the jumper wire must be positioned across terminals 5 and 6. Reversible units do not have a secondary input.
NOTES: SL in the configuration menu must be set to 1. P and d must be setup for each secondary unit.
Wiring an Aquastat - Reversible Unit
• To create a secondary unit, set SL to 1 in the configuration menu.
• Position the jumper wire in the control box across terminals 5 and 6.

Unit Startup
Before Powering Unit
Check the following:
• High voltage wiring is correct and matches the nameplate.
• Fuses, breakers and wire size are correct.
• Piping is completed and water system has been cleaned
and flushed.
• Air is purged from the closed loop system.
• Isolation valves are open and loop water control valves or
loop pumps are wired.
• Service/access panels are in place.
Primary Unit Startup
1. Apply power to the unit. Upon power up, the unit will display the current operation mode.
H for dedicated heating.
C for dedicated cooling.
U for reversible units.
2. Press the mode button. The LED screen will display the current entering water temperature. The load pump will activate after a 5 minute delay.
3. Once the load pump has been active for 3 minutes, the controller will sample the temperature of the water system. In heating mode, when the temperature of the water shown on the display is lower than the set point the compressor will activate.
4. By using a pressure gauge and the P/T ports, check the pressure drop through both the load and source coaxes. Compare this to the capacity tables in the specification catalog to verify the proper flow rate through the unit.
5. Verify that the compressor, load side and source side pumps are operating.
6. After determining the flow rates, use a thermometer and the PT ports to determine the change in temperature on both the load and source side coaxes.
7. Compute the formula l/s flow rate X change in temperature x 4.2 (4.1 on source side if antifreeze/brine is used in the loop) = Heat of Extraction on the source side in heating, Heat of Rejection on the source side in cooling. To ensure proper operation, compare these values to the HE/HR tables.
8. Press the down arrow on the keypad to reduce the set point below the incoming load temperature. Compressor should shut off and the load pump should shut off 30 seconds after the compressor.
9. Wait 7 minutes. The load pump should start to sample load temperature.
10. Compressor and source side circulator should not start.
11. Press the up arrow on the keypad to increase the set point to 5 degrees above the water temperature displayed on the LED screen.
12. Three minutes after the load pump activates, the compressor and source pump should activate.
Secondary Unit Startup
1. Apply power to the unit.
2. After a three to five-minute delay, the water temperature shall be sampled. If the controller receives a remote aquastat signal, the compressor shall activate.
3. Verify that the compressor and load side, source side pumps are running.
4. By using a pressure gauge and the PT ports, check the pressure drop through both the load and source coaxes, and compare this to the Pressure Drop tables.
5. After determining the flow rates, use a thermometer and the PT ports to determine the change in temperature on both the load and source side coaxes.
6. Compute the formula l/s flow rate X change in temperature x 4.2 (4.1 on source side if antifreeze/brine is used in the loop) = Heat of Extraction on the source side in heating, Heat of Rejection on the source side in cooling. To ensure proper operation, compare these values to the HE/HR tables.
7. Press the down arrow on the control to disrupt the remote aquastat signal. Unit should shut off.
8. Instruct the owner or operator about the correct control and system operation.

Standard Board - Control Features
NSKW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Anti Short Cycle Time
The anti short cycle time consists of a three minute minimum “off” time plus a randomly chosen 0-2 minute additional “off” delay. The random delay is chosen by the control after each compressor shut down. The 3-5 minute startup delay is applied after all compressor shutdowns and also to system startups due to ac power interruption.
Safety Controls
The control board receives separate signals for a high pressure switch for safety, low pressure switch to prevent loss of charge damage, and a low suction temperature for freeze detection. Upon a 30-second measurement of the fault (immediate for high pressure), compressor operation is suspended and the fault will be shown on the display.
Setpoint Temperature Ranges
In Primary mode, the heating temperature setpoint range is adjustable from 15.5°C to 54.4°C with an adjustable deadband range of 1° - 15°F. The cooling setpoint temperature is adjustable from -17.7°C to 29.4°C with a fixed non-adjustable deadband of 5°F.
NOTE: Deadband adjustments are in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) only.
Load Pump Control
There are two options for controlling the load pump, Pump Sampling (PS) or Continuous Pump (C), and these are selectable in the service Menu.
Pump Sampling (PS)
In Primary Mode, the control operates on a 10 minute sample cycle in which the load pump is turned on and run to obtain a meaningful sample of the temperature the load is presenting. If the water temperature measured after the pump has been on for PS minutes (selected and adjusted from the Service Menu) is outside the user selectable deadband amount, dB (also selected and adjusted from the Service Menu), the compressor is turned on and Heating or Cooling is initiated. If the water temperature is within the deadband of the set point when sampled, the pump shuts off and is idle for (10 – PS) minutes when it starts another PS minute sample period. For example, if the PS setting is two minutes, the pump will run for 2 minutes before sampling the load temperature. If the water temperature is within the selected dead band temperature of the set point, the pump will shut off for 10 – 2 = 8 minutes before beginning another pump sampling cycle. Heating deadband is selectable in the Service Menu while the Cooling deadband is non­adjustable and fixed at 5°F.
Continuous Pump Mode (C)
If continuous pump mode (PS=C In Service Menu) is
selected, the control will respond immediately to a recognized call or termination of call for heat or cool subject to minimum run times and anti short cycle delays.
Test Mode
Connection of a jumper wire from chassis ground to P3 will place the control in the test mode. This shortens most timing delays for faster troubleshooting. In the Primary Mode the control will respond immediately if a demand is present. The anti-short cycle delay is replaced by a 10 second pump and compressor on delay. Minimum compressor run time becomes 15 seconds. Test mode will remain in effect for a maximum of 15 minutes at any one time should the jumper remain in place.
Fault Conditions
There are two classes of faults, retry faults and no retry faults. Retry faults allow the system to try 2 additional times to establish operation before displaying the fault condition and entering lockout. No-Retry Faults prevent compressor operation for the duration of the fault. If the fault activity ceases while the system is inactive, the fault code is cleared from the display and operation is permitted.
Retry Faults
High pressure, low pressure and freeze detection faults are retried twice before locking the unit out and displaying the fault condition.
High Pressure (HP)
Compressor operation will be disabled immediately when the normally closed high-pressure switch is opened momentarily (set at 4.1 kPa). The LED display shall read “HP” only when the control has completed two retries, and is in lockout. The pump continues to operate throughout the retry period.
Low Pressure (LP)
Compressor operation will be disabled when the normally closed low-pressure switch (set at 275 Pa) has opened for 30 continuous seconds (if the bypass period has been satisfied). The Low Pressure switch is bypassed (ignored) for two minutes after startup. The LED display shall read “LP” only when the control has completed two retries, and is in lockout. The pump continues to operate throughout the retry period.
Freeze Detection (FP)
Compressor and loop pumps will be disabled if the control senses that the refrigerant loop temperature drops below the FP value (set in the service menu) for 30 continuous seconds (if the bypass period has been satisfied). If the compressor and the loop pump outputs are disabled because of this condition, the LED display shall read “FP.” There is a two (2) minute by-pass timer for the freeze detection at compressor start up.
27
Page 27
NSKW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Standard Board - Control Features cont.
No-Retry Faults
High Temperature, Water Temperature Probe Open, Water Temperature Probe Closed and Brown Out faults prevent compressor operation for the duration of the fault. If the fault activity ceases while the system is inactive, the fault code is cleared from the display and operation is permitted.
High Temperature
Compressor operation will be disabled when the control senses an entering load side water temperature of
54.4°C regardless of mode.
Water Temperature Probe Open (PO)
Compressor and pump operation will be disabled when the control senses that the water probe is open or has infinite resistance. The LED display shall read “PO.”
Water Temperature Probe Closed (HC)
Compressor and pump operation will be disabled when the control senses that the water probe is closed or has no resistance. The LED display shall read “HC.”
Freeze Detection Probe Open (dO)
Compressor and pump operation will be disabled when the control senses that the freeze detection probe is open or has infinite resistance. The LED display shall read “dO.”
Freeze Detection Probe Closed (dC)
Compressor and pump operation will be disabled when the control senses that the freeze detection probe is closed or has no resistance. The LED display shall read “dC.”
Brown-Out (B0)
All operation will be disabled when the control voltage falls below 18VAC for 10-15 continuous seconds.
Resetting Lockouts
To reset any lockout condition, place the unit into the standby mode for at least 5 seconds. After the lockout has been reset, the fault display will be turned off. Cycling control power will also clear the display. Non-Retry Faults must be cleared for the display and lockout to clear.
Power Down (power outage)
The controller will store its Service Menu settings and current Mode selection in non-volatile memory so that these settings are retained through any power outage. Current operating conditions are not stored and the controller must evaluate its current conditions.

FX10 Microprocessor and BAS System
The FX10 is a microprocessor based control that not only monitors and controls the heat pump but also can communicate any of this information back to the building automation system (BAS). This means that not only does the control monitor the heat pump at the unit you can also monitor and control many of the features over the BAS. This clearly puts the FX10 in a class of its own.
The control will enumerate all fault conditions (HP, LP, LOC, and Freeze Detection) over a BAS as well as display them on a medium user interface (MUI). HP, LP, and Freeze Detection faults can all be reset over a BAS. A Loss Of Charge fault can not be reset or bypassed until the problem has been corrected. A MUI is invaluable as a service tool for the building service team.
The unit can be commanded to run by applying Y1, Y2, and O commands to the terminal board or commanded through a BAS. The control board is wired with quick connect harnesses for easy field change out of a faulty control board. An alarm history can be viewed through the MUI and will be held in memory until the unit is power cycled.
The FX10 control has unused analog and digital inputs for field installed items such as water temperature or current status switches. The control has unused binary and PWM outputs that can be commanded over the BAS for field use. A Medium User Interface (MUI) for control setup and advanced diagnostics is standard on all NSKW units.
DDC Operation and Connection
Other optional network protocol boards that can be added to the FX10 are:
• Johnson Control N2
• LonWorks
• BACnet
- MS/TP @ 19,200 Baud rate
- Limit devices to 30 on a single trunk line.

The emergency shutdown mode can be activated by a command from a facility management system or a closed contact on BI-2. The default state for the emergency shutdown data point is off. When the emergency shutdown mode is activated, all outputs will be turned off immediately and will remain off until the emergency shutdown mode is de-activated. The first time the compressor starts after the emergency shutdown mode has been de-activated, there will be a random start delay present.
Lockout Mode
Lockout mode can be activated by any of the following fault signals: refrigerant system high pressure, refrigerant system low pressure, or freeze detection. When any valid fault signal remains continuously active for the length of its recognition delay, the controller will go into fault retry mode, which will turn off the compressor. After the compressor short cycle delay, the compressor will attempt to operate once again. If three consecutive faults occur in 60 minutes, the unit will go into lockout mode, turning off the compressor, enabling the alarm output until the controller is reset. If the control faults due to the low pressure input being open during the pre-compressor startup check, the control will go into lockout mode immediately, disabling the compressor from starting and enabling the alarm output. The lockout condition can be reset by powering down the controller, by a command from the BAS, or by holding the ESC and Return keys on the user interface for 5 seconds.

Freeze Detection
The freeze detection sensor will monitor the liquid refrigerant temperature entering the water coil in the heating mode. If the temperature drops below the freeze detection trip point for the recognition delay period, the condition will be recognized as a fault. The freeze detection trip point will be factory set for -1.1°C and will be field selectable for -9.4°C by removing a jumper wire on BI-4 for the source and BI-5 for the load. The freeze detection fault condition will be bypassed for 2 minutes at normal compressor startup to allow the refrigeration circuit to stabilize. If the freeze detection sensor becomes unreliable at any time compressor operation will immediately be suspended until the problem is corrected. This will be displayed as an alarm on the BAS and the MUI. This alarm will be reported as “Water Low Temp Limit”.
High Pressure
The high-pressure switch shall be a normally closed (NC) switch that monitors the systems refrigerant pressure. If the input senses the high-pressure switch is open it must disable the compressor output immediately and count the fault. The compressor minimum on time does not apply if the high-pressure switch opens. The compressor will not restart until the compressor short cycle time delay has been satisfied.
Low Pressure
The low-pressure switch shall be a normally closed (NC) switch that monitors the systems refrigerant pressure. The input shall be checked 5 seconds before compressor start up and then ignored for the first 2 minutes after the compressor output (BO-2) is enabled. If the switch is open continuously for 30 seconds during compressor operation the compressor output (BO-2) will be disabled. The compressor will not restart until the compressor short cycle time delay has been satisfied.
Alarm Outputs
The alarm output will be enabled when the control is in the lockout mode and will be disabled when the lockout is reset.
Test Mode
By holding the ESC and down arrow keys on the MUI for 5 seconds will put the control into test mode. In test mode the random start delay and the compressor fixed on delay time will both be shortened to 5 seconds and the reversing valve will be allowed to cycle without shutting down the compressor. If an MUI is connected to the control LED 8 will flash and the words “Test Mode Enabled” will be shown on the LCD display when the control is in test mode. Test mode will be disabled after a power cycle, 30 minute timeout, or by holding the ESC and Up arrow keys on the MUI.
Sequence of Operation
Power Fail Restart
When the controller is first powered up, the outputs will be disabled for a random start delay. The delay is provided to prevent simultaneous starting of multiple heat pumps. Once the timer expires, the controller will operate normally.
Random Start Delay
This delay will be used after every power failure, as well as the first time the compressor is started after the control exits the unoccupied mode or the emergency shutdown mode. The delay should not be less than 1 second and not longer than 120 seconds. If the control is in test mode the random start delay will be shortened to 5 seconds.
Compressor Minimum On Delay
The compressor minimum on delay will ensure that the compressor output is enabled for a minimum of two (2) minutes each time the compressor output is enabled. This will apply in every instance except in the event the high pressure switch is tripped or emergency shutdown then the compressor output will be disabled immediately.
Compressor Minimum Off Delay Time
The compressor minimum time delay will ensure that the compressor output will not be enabled for a minimum of five (5) minutes after it is disabled. This allows for the system refrigerant pressures to equalize after the compressor is disabled.
Heating Cycle
The control will run the unit in heating mode when there is no command on the O/B terminal on the terminal board.
Cooling Cycle
The control will run the unit in cooling mode when there is a command on the O/B terminal on the terminal board.
MUI Alarm History Reporting
If a fault occurs the fault will be recorded in history for display on the medium user interface in the History Menu. Each fault type will be displayed in the history menu with a number between 0 and 3. A reading of 3+ will mean that fault has occurred more than three times in the past. The history menu can be cleared with a power cycle only. Alarm date and time are not included in the history.

Load and Source Freeze Detection Setpoint
The freeze detection setpoint input allows you to adjust the freeze detection setpoint for either the load or source sides of the heat pump. When the jumper is installed on BI-5 the load freeze detection setpoint is factory set for -1.1°C. When the jumper on BI-5 is removed the load freeze detection setpoint will be -9.4°C. When the jumper is installed on BI-4 the source freeze detection setpoint is factory set for -1.1°C. When the jumper on BI-4 is removed the source freeze detection setpoint will be -9.4°C. NOTE: Piping circuit
must be antifreeze protected to the set levels or the warranty will be voided.

NOTES: Minimum/maximum limits are only for startup conditions, and are meant for bringing the space up to occupancy temperature. Units are not designed to operate at the minimum/maximum conditions on a regular basis.
The operating limits are dependent upon three primary
factors: 1) entering source temperature, 2) entering load temperature, and 3) flow rate L/s. When any of the factors are at the minimum or maximum levels, the other two factors must be at the normal level for proper and reliable unit operation. Consult the Performance Tables for each model to determine allowable normal operating conditions. Units are not designed for outdoor installation.
Cooling Heating
°C °C
Heating with High Source Temperatures
Heating water with a water to water unit using high source temperatures can lead to operating conditions that fall outside of the system operating range. The condition occurs when the loop (source) temperature exceeds 21.1°C with a full flow of 0.054 L/s per kW. Under this scenario, the evaporating temperature can fall outside of the compressor operating window.
To allow the system to operate correctly, restricting the source side flow when the evaporating temperature exceeds
12.7°C is recommended. One way of accomplishing this is to use a flow-restricting valve on the source loop circuit that is controlled by the evaporating temperature. Locate the sensing device on the refrigerant inlet of the evaporator.
As an alternative to the evaporating temperature, the suction line temperature can be monitored with the same control capability. In this control, temperature should be a maximum of 18.3°C.

Troubleshooting
NSKW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Should a major problem develop, refer to the following information for possible causes and corrective steps:
Compressor Won’t Run
1. The fuse may be blown or the circuit breaker is open. Check electrical circuits and motor windings for shorts or grounds. Investigate for possible overloading. Replace fuse or reset circuit breakers after the fault is corrected.
2. Supply voltage may be too low. Check voltage with a volt meter.
3. Remote control system may be faulty. Check aquastat for correct wiring, setting and calibration. Check 24-volt transformer for burnout.
4. Wires may be loose or broken. Replace or tighten.
5. The low pressure switch may have tripped due to one or more of the following: a. Fouled or plugged coaxial heat exchangers
b. Low or no water flow (source side heating, load side cooling) c. Water too cold (source side heating) d. Low refrigerant
6. The high pressure switch may have tripped due to one or more of the following: a. Fouled or plugged coaxial heat exchanger
b. Low or no water flow (source side cooling, load side heating) c. Water too warm (source side cooling)
7. Check the capacitor (Single Phase only).
8. The compressor overload protection may be open. If the compressor dome is extremely hot, the overload will not reset until cooled down. If the overload does not reset when cool, it may be defective. If so, replace the compressor.
9. The internal winding of the compressor motor may be grounded to the compressor shell. If so, replace the compressor.
10. The compressor winding may be open. Check continuity with an ohm meter. If the winding is open, replace the compressor.
Insufficient Cooling or Heating
1. Check aquastat for improper location (secondary mode only).
2. Check for restriction in water flow.
3. Check subcooling for low refrigerant charge.
4. The reversing valve may be defective and creating a bypass of refrigerant. If the unit will not cool, check the reversing valve coil.
5. Check thermal expansion valve for possible restriction of refrigerant flow.
Noisy Unit Operation
1. Check compressor for loosened mounting bolts. Make sure compressor is floating free on its isolator mounts.
2. Check for tubing contact with the compressor or other surfaces. Readjust it by bending slightly.
3. Check screws on all panels.
4. Check for chattering or humming in the contactor or relays due to low voltage or a defective holding coil. Replace the component.
5. Check for proper installation of vibration absorbing material under the unit. Unit must be fully supported, not just on corners.
6. Check for abnormally high discharge pressures.

Troubleshooting Controls
Check the unit. If a lockout mode is displayed, refer to the table below to determine the meaning of the failure. Follow the procedure listed to correct the problem.
Check the mode:
1. If the unit is running on the internal aquastat, verify the unit is in “Primary” mode. The SL should be set to 0 in the setup menu.
2. If the unit is running on an external aquastat, the SL should be set to 1.
Check the jumpers on the control board:
1. Refer to the Control Board with Jumper illustration in the Converting to a Dedicated Cooling Unit section to see the location of the jumper on the board. If the unit is a heating only unit, the jumper should be across 1 and 2.
2. If the unit is a cooling only unit, the jumper should be across 2 and 3.
3. If the unit is a reversible unit, the jumper should be across 3 and 4.
Check the thermistor calibration:
1. Using a thermometer in the P/T port, check the incoming water temperature.
2. Verify that the measured temperature is within 3 degrees of the temperature displayed on the unit.
3. If it is not, adjust the calibration in the setup menu.

Preventive Maintenance
NSKW INSTALLATION MANUAL
1. Keep all air out of the water lines. An open loop system should be checked to ensure that the well head is not
allowing air to infiltrate the water line. Lines should always be airtight.
2. Keep the system under pressure at all times. In open
loop systems, it is recommended that a water control
valve be placed in the discharge line to prevent loss of
pressure during off cycles. Closed loop systems must have a positive static pressure.
NOTES: If the installation is performed in an area with a known high mineral content in the water, it is best to establish a periodic maintenance schedule to check the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger on a regular basis. Should periodic cleaning be necessary, use standard cleaning procedures which are compatible with either the cupronickel or copper water lines. Generally, the more water flowing through the unit, the less chance there is for scaling. Low flow rates produce higher temperatures through the coil. To avoid excessive pressure drop and the possibility of copper erosion, do not exceed flow rate as shown on the specification sheets for each unit.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Close the inlet and outlet water valves to isolate the heat
pump from the well system, water heater or loop pumps.
2. Disconnect piping and remove solenoid valve, pumps,
etc, from the inlet and outlet connections on the heat pump.
3. Connect plastic hoses from the circulating pump to the outlet of the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger to be de-limed (refer to the Cleaning Connections illustration).
4. Connect a plastic hose from the circulating pump inlet to the bottom of a plastic five (5) gallon pail (refer to the Cleaning Connections illustration).
5. Connect a plastic hose from the inlet line of the water­to-refrigerant heat exchanger to the plastic pail. Secure tightly to ensure that circulating solution does not spill
(refer to the Cleaning Connections illustration).
6. Partially fill the plastic pail with clear water (about two­thirds full) and prime the circulating pump. Circulate until lines are full.
7. Start the circulating pump and slowly add a commercial scale remover* to the water as recommended by the scale remover manufacturer’s directions.
8. Be sure the pump circulation is opposite to the normal water flow through the water-to-refrigerant heat exchanger.
9. Maintain re-circulation until all scale and other material
has been dissolved and flushed from the heat exchanger.
10. Upon completion of the procedure. Safely dispose of the solution.
11. Rinse the pump and plastic pail. Refill with clear water.
12. Start the pump circulation and flush the system until all acid residue has been removed from the system. Refill
the plastic pail until only clear water is circulated.
13. Turn off the circulating pump and disconnect all hoses and fittings.
14. Replace solenoid valves, pumps, hoses and other devices in their original locations. On closed loop systems, be sure to purge between the flow center and
unit to avoid getting air into the loop.
15. Put the heat pump back into operation. Check for
proper operating temperature.
