INPUTS & OUTPUTS
Inputs and Outputs
I/O Map
See Table 1 below to reference the inputs and outputs that are avail-
able on the PREHEAT-X Controller.
Analog Inputs
1Leaving Air Temperature 1 (LAT1)
2Leaving Air Temperature 2 (LAT2)
3Entering Air Temperature Sensor
4 Reset In (0-10 VDC)
NOTE: For AIN1 through AIN3, all T emperature Sensors must
be Thermistor Type III which provide 77.0°F @ 10K
Ohms Resistance.
Reset Input (0-10 VDC)
Used only in stand-alone operation. The Leaving Air Temperature
Setpoint can be reset by supplying a 0-10 VDC signal to the RST
IN low voltage terminal block. This reset signal is optional and need
only be used if you require resetting of the discharge air temperature.
Binary Inputs
Heat Enable Contact (HEAT EN)
This input is only required when the controller is used in stand-alone
operation; it is not required when communicating with an AAON
Unit Controller. The Heat Enable input is activated by a 24VAC
signal supplied from a building automation system to enable the
PREHEAT-X Controller. The controller will not operate without
24VAC being applied to this input terminal when used in a standalone confi guration. When the Heat Enable signal is lost or turned
off, all stages de-activate immediately.
Emergency Shutdown Input
This wet contact (24 VAC) input is used to initiate shutdown of the
HV AC unit when a N.C. Smoke Detector (by others), Firestat (by others), or other shutdown condition (by others) occurs and the contact
is opened. The controller remains active and can initiate alarm relays.
Analog Outputs
Table 1: PREHEAT-X Controller Inputs & Outputs
Analog Inputs
Leaving Air Temperature 1 (LAT1)
When enabled, the PREHEAT-X Controller will control to a Leaving Air Temperature Setpoint. The Controller can be confi gured to
use only LAT 1 for this purpose. Typically, the average of LAT1
and LAT2 is used.
Leaving Air Temperature 2 (LAT2)
When enabled, the PREHEAT-X Controller will control to a Leaving Air Temperature Setpoint. The Controller can be confi gured to
use only LAT 2 for this purpose. Typically, the average of LAT1
and LAT2 is used.
Entering Air Temperature
When the Entering Air Temperature falls below the Entering Air
Temperature Setpoint, preheat will be enabled.
8
0-10 VDC Modulating SCR
Depending on the type of Heat used, this output will supply a 0-10
VDC output signal for control of the modulating SCR Heat.
Pulse Width Modulating SSR
Depending on the type of Heat used, this output will supply a 12 V
PWM Output Signal for control of the modulating SSR Heat.
Relay Outputs
Relay #1 - Alarm
This relay sends a signal when an alarm is enabled.
Relays #2 - 6—Fixed Stage Heat Outputs
PREHEAT-X Technical Guide
OPERATION MODES
Outputs and Operation Modes
Operation Modes
The PREHEA T -X Controller can be used stand-alone or communicating with an AAON Unit Controller using a modular cable.
Stand-Alone Mode
When used in a stand-alone application, the PREHEA T -X Controller
will modulate SCR or SSR Heat and stage any additional fi xed stages
to maintain the Leaving Air T emperature setpoint con fi gured on the
PREHEA T-X Controller LCD display . The PREHEA T-X Controller
is activated by a 24VAC signal to the HEAT EN input.
Communicating Mode
When the PREHEA T-X Controller is connected and communicating
with an AAON Unit Controller via a modular cable, the necessary
information will be passed between the PREHEAT-X and the Main
Unit Controller to properly operate in the Heating Mode.
If the communication is interrupted between the PREHEAT-X
Controller and the Main Controller, both boards will show an alarm
and the PREHEA T-X outputs will turn off. When communication is
restored, the alarms will go away.
In this confi guration, the Leaving Air T emperature Setpoints and the
Preheat Enable Sepoints are set using the Main Controller.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Operation Modes
Zone
Zone
Preheat Enable
Stand Alone Mode
Enabled when the Binary Input is closed and the Entering Air Temperature is below setpoint.
E-BUS Communications Mode
Enabled by an E-BUS command when the Entering Air T emperature
falls below the Preheat Setpoint.
BACnet Communications Mode
Enabled by BACnet command or Binary Input, whichever occurs
fi rst.
Leaving Air Sensor
The controller can be confi gured to use one of three sensor confi gu-
rations for control.
• Leaving Air Sensor 1 only (LAT1)
• Leaving Air Sensor 2 only (LAT2)
• Average Leaving Air Temperature which averages
LAT1 and LAT2
Modulating Heat
• If confi gured, the Modulating Heat output will be used
as the fi rst stage of heat.
• Analog Voltage Output can be adjusted between
0-10 VDC as needed to maintain the Leaving Air
Setpoint.
• Controlled by an Internal PID Loop.
Heat Staging Up
The following conditions must be met before the fi rst (next) stage
of heat can be energized:
• Preheat Enable Signal/Command must be active.
• The LAT must be below the LAT Setpoint by any
amount.
• If Mod Heat is confi gured, it must be at 100% for the Stage Up Delay.
• The Minimum Off Time must be met.
• The Stage Up Delay must be met (for second stage
and above).
Leaving Air Setpoint
Stand Alone
• Leaving Air Temperature Setpoint can be reset
between the LAT Setpoint and LAT Setpoint Reset
Limit.
• The Reset Source is based on a 0-10 VDC input and
range can be adjusted using the LAT Setpoint Reset
Source Low and LAT Setpoint Reset Source High
Setpoints.
E-BUS and BACnet Communications Mode
• A Leaving Air Temperature Setpoint will be sent to
the controller.
• This value is stored in volatile memory and will be
lost at reset.
• There are separate Leaving Air T emperature Setpoints,
depending on if the unit is in Heating, Vent, or Cool
Mode.
Heat Staging Down
The following conditions must be met before a stage of heat can be
de-energized:
• Preheat Enable Signal/Command is deactivated
-OR- the LAT must be above the LAT Setpoint by the
LAT Deadband.
• If Modulating Heat is confi gured, it must be at 0% for the stage down delay.
• The Minimum Run time must be met.
• The Stage Down Time must be met.
10
PREHEAT-X Technical Guide
Emergency Shutdown
The Emergency Shutdown input must always be used and wired
as a 24 VAC normally closed contact. If an Emergency Shutdown
occurs, and that contact opens:
• All outputs will be immediately de-energized.
• An alarm will be generated.
High Leaving Air Temperature Alarm
• If the Leaving Air T emperature is above the LA T High
Temperature Alarm Limit for more than the Alarm
Delay all heating outputs will be de-energized
immediately.
• An alarm will be generated.
• A manual reset will be required.

Mechanical Failure:
• Check relay outputs on the PREHEAT-X for 24 VAC
output.
• Verify output voltage (VOUT and GND) to SCR or
PWM
• Verify that the Leaving Air Temperature Sensor(s) is
connected to AIN1 and/or AIN2 and GND on the
PREHEAT-X
• Verify Leaving Air Temperature Sensor probe(s) is
mounted correctly
• Remove AIN1 and AIN2 and GND wiring from the
PREHEAT-X and ohm the sensor out (this may
indicate open or failed wiring). Refer to chart in back
of this guide for readings.
Leaving Air Temperature Failure:
• Verify that the Leaving Air Temperature Sensor(s) is
connected to the AIN1 and/or AIN2 and GND on the
PREHEAT-X.
• Remove AIN1 and AIN2 and GND wiring from the
PREHEAT-X and ohm the sensor out (this may
indicate open or failed wiring). Refer to chart in back
of this guide for readings.
Communications Loss:
• Check COMM LED on PREHEAT-X.
• Verify 24 VAC power to all interconnected
WattMaster controllers.
• Verify connection between the PREHEAT-X
and associated WattMaster controllers.
• In communication mode (connected to a an AAON
Unit with modular cable), verify PREHEAT-X
confi guration on AAON unit.

APPENDIX A
Leaving Air Temperature Sensor Installation
Mounting the Leaving Air Temperature
Sensor
• The Leaving Air T emperature (LA T) Sensor should be
located in PREHEAT-X box’s output location.
• Locate the sensor in the center of the widest part of the
PREHEA T -X box wall. Use the supplied template and a
5/16” drill to make a hole for the sensor.
• Install the gasket over the probe and mount securely to
the box wall using the supplied sheet metal screws. Be sure
the gasket is compressed to provide an air tight seal.
• For best accuracy, apply insulation on the outside of the
box wall, over the sensor. This will help prevent thermal
gradients from affecting the sensor.
Leads Are Non-Polarized. Butt Splice Leads
To 24 Gauge Wire Minimum.
Connect Leads to ”AIN1 And/Or “AIN2” And “GND” On
PREHEAT-X Controller. See Figure 2 on page 5 for
details.
WARNING: Make sure your Leaving Air Temperature
Sensor(s) are mounted and wired according
to these instructions prior to testing the unit
or else the modulating valve will not control
properly and may damage your equipment.

TROUBLESHOOTING
LAT Sensor Testing
Leaving Air Temperature Sensor
If you suspect the Leaving Air Temperature Sensor is not reading
correctly, make sure the wiring terminal connections are tight and
that any wiring splices are properly connected. You can check the
operation of the Leaving Air Temperature Sensor by measuring
the resistance or voltage using a digital multimeter. Set the meter
to DC Volts. Place the positive probe on the AIN terminal and the
negative probe on the GND terminal. Read the DC Volts and fi nd
that voltage in Table 3.
Read the temperature corresponding with that voltage and determine
if this is close to the actual temperature the sensor is exposed to. If the
temperature from the chart is different by more than a few degrees,
you probably have a defective or damaged sensor. You can also
check the sensor resistance to determine correct operation. To read
the resistance, set the meter to Ohms. Unplug the sensor connector
from the board and measure the resistance across the disconnected
wires. This resistance should match the corresponding temperature
from Table 3.
Table 3, continued: 0-3.3 V Temperature Sensor Voltage & Resistance for Type III Sensors
Thermistor Sensor Testing Instructions
1.) Use the resistance column to check the thermistor sensor while
disconnected from the controllers (not powered).
2.) Use the voltage column to check sensors while connected to
powered controllers. Read voltage with meter set on DC volts. Place
the “-” (minus) lead on GND terminal and the “+” (plus) lead on the
sensor input terminal being investigated.
If the voltage is above 3.3 VDC, the sensor or wiring is “open.” If
the voltage is less than 0.05 VDC, the sensor or wiring is shorted.
