Water Source Heat Pump Module
Module Overview
Overview
The Water Source Heat Pump Module monitors the compressors on an
®
AAON
Water Source Heat Pump unit and can disable the compressors based on low Suction Pressure, Leaving Water Temperature, and
W ater Proof of Flow inputs. It also utilizes a Delay T imer to prevent the
compressors from turning on at the same time.
There is one water-only version of the Water Source Heat Pump Module—the OE334-23-WPM-C which uses R-410A refrigerant.
There are also two 410-A glycol versions—the OE334-23-WPM-C20
which uses 20% glycol and the OE334-23-WPM-C40 which uses 40%
glycol.
The Water Source Heat Pump Module can be used stand-alone. It can
also be connected to the VCM-X WSHP Controller (OE332-23-VCMXWSHP-C) using the E-BUS Distribution Module (OE365-23-EBD-C).
This allows the W ater Source Heat Pump Module to receive control data
and alarms from the VCM-X WSHP Controller.
The Water Source Heat Pump Module requires a 24 VAC power connection with an appropriate VA rating.
Features
The Water Source Heat Pump Module provides the following:
Can be operated stand-alone or connected to a
VCM-X WSHP Controller using the E-BUS
Distribution Module to E-BUS interface
Capable of controlling digital compressors when
connected to the VCM-X WSHP Controller
Monitors suction pressure, leaving water
temperature, and water proof of fl ow
Provides Delay Timer to prevent compressors
from turning on at the same time
NOTE: The Water Source Heat Pump Module contains no user-
serviceable parts. Contact qualifi ed technical personnel
if your Module is not operating correctly.

If you will be connecting the Water Source Heat Pump Module to the
VCM-X WSHP Controller, one of the most important checks to make
before powering up the system for the fi rst time is to make sure that the
VCM-X WSHP Controller is confi gured properly for your application.
Refer to the VCM-X Controller Technical Guide for more information.
WARNING: Observe polarity! All boards must be wired

Water Source Heat Pump Module
Installation & Wiring
Important Wiring Considerations
Please read carefully and apply the following information when wiring
the Water Source Heat Pump Module:
1. To operate the Water Source Heat Pump Module in StandAlone mode, you must connect power to the 24 VAC input
terminal block. Do not allow wire strands to stick out and
touch adjoining terminals. This could potentially cause a short
circuit.
2. The 1 to 5 VDC signals for the Compressor modulation need
to use 18-gauge shielded twisted pair cable, and the Drain wire
must be the GND signal.
3. All 24 VAC wiring must be connected so that all ground
wires remain common. Failure to follow this procedure can
result in damage to the module and connected devices.
4. Be sure all modular wiring harness connectors are seated
fi rmly in their respective modular connectors on the circuit
board.
5. All wiring is to be in accordance with local and
national electrical codes and specifi cations.
6. Check all wiring leads at the terminal block for tightness.
Be sure that wire strands do not stick out and touch adjacent
terminals. Confi rm that all transducers required for your
system are mounted in the appropriate location and wired into
the correct terminals.
Stand-Alone Wiring
To operate the Water Source Heat Pump Module as Stand Alone, connect the Module to a 24 VAC power connection with an appropriate VA
rating. See Figure 3 for wiring.

Start-Up & Commissioning
General
In order to have a trouble free start-up, it is important to follow a few
simple procedures. Before applying power for the fi rst time, it is very
important to run through a few simple checks.
One of the most important checks to make before powering up the system
for the fi rst time is to make sure that the VCM-X WSHP Controller is
confi gured properly for your application. Refer to the VCM-X Controller T echnical Guide for more information. A handheld Modular Service T ool,
Modular System Manager, or System Manager T ouch Screen connected
to the VCM-X WSHP Controller will allow you to confi gure your ap-
plication. Refer to the VCM-X Operator’s Interfaces Technical Guide or
System Manager TS Technical Guide for more information.
UNIT CONFIGURATIONS

Setpoints
The Water Source Heat Pump Module setpoints are preset at AAON
and are based on the unit’s design and type of coolant being used in the
water loop. See Tables 3 & 4 for default settings.
NOTE: These are default settings only. The setpoints may be
different based on the unit’s design and type of coolant
being used. For fi eld adjustment of these setpoints, you
must contact the AAON factory.

Water Source Heat Pump Module
Sequence of Operation
Stand-Alone Input Commands
Compressor On/Off
A 24 volt signal to Binary Inputs #1-4 initiates each Compressor’s On
function. The source for this signal would typically come from Y1 to
Y4 calls from the thermostat.
Cool Enable On/Off
A 24 volt signal on this input indicates the unit is in the Cooling Mode.
Typically, the source for this signal is the “O” call from the thermostat.
Water Proof of Flow Circuit On/Off
A 24 volt signal to Binary Input #6 indicates Water Proof of Flow for
each circuit.
Suction Pressure Analog Inputs
Sensors from Analog Inputs #1 & #3 correlate with the Suction Pressure of each Circuit (250 PSI). Pres 1 input correlates with Circuit A’s
1st and 2nd compressor. Pres 3 input correlates with Circuit B’s 1st and
2nd compressor. Suction Pressure Transducer is 0-250 psi.
Leaving Water Temperature Thermistor Inputs
T1 for Heating Mode measures the temperature of the leaving water to
prevent freezing of the coil.
Input Commands (VCM-X WSHP )
NOTE: When the term “ON” is used, it means there is either 24
VAC on the appropriate Binary Input or a call-to-run
signal is being received from the VCM-X WSHP. When
the term “OFF” is used, it means there is either 0 VAC
on the appropriate Binary Input or the call-to-run signal
from the VCM-X WSHP has been removed.
Compressor On/Off
Instead of a physical input signaling the Compressor On/Off function,
the VCM-X WSHP Controller communications drives the Compressor
On/Off function.
Cool Enable On/Off
As with the Compressor On/Off function, the VCM-X Controller
communicates to the Module that it is in Heat Mode. On = Cool. Off
= Heat.

Technical Guide
Water Source Heat Pump Module
Sequence of Operation
Modes of Operation
NOTE: See Unit Confi gurations Chart on page 7 for more
information about compressor staging.
Compressor Operation (Heating and Cooling)
A compressor can energize if the following is true:
1. There is 24 VAC applied to the appropriate Binary Input for
the Compressor.
2. If two compressors are enabled simultaneously, a 5 second
staging delay will occur.
3. Suction Pressure is above the Low Suction Pressure Cooling
(Heating) Setpoint.
4. Proof of Flow for the water loop is made.
5. Leaving Water Temp is above the Leaving Water Safety
Setpoint (Heating only).
6. A minimum off time of 3 minutes is met for that compressor.
NOTE: If the WSHP Module receives an off signal on the Cool
Enable input, it will operate using the Heating Mode
Setpoints.
Cooling Mode
If there are additional fi xed compressor stages and modulating Com-
pressors A1 and B1 have modulated together up to 100%, then after
a stage up delay, fi xed Compressor A2 will stage on while A1/B1 are
allowed to modulate. If A1/B1 again modulate up to 100%, then after
a stage up delay, fi xed compressor B2 will stage on while A1/B1 are
allowed to modulate.
Staging down will happen in the reverse order as just described if the
Supply Air Temperature falls below the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint by the Cooling Stage Window value and the stage down timer
has elapsed. After the fi xed compressors have staged off, or if there are
no fi xed compressors then the staging down of the digital compressors
A1 and B1 will continue as follows. If Compressors A1/B1 modulate
together down to 30% and the stage down timer elapses, Compressor B1
will deactivate and Compressors A1 will go to 60%. Compressors A1
will stage down if it is at 0% for the duration of the stage down timer.
Heat Pump Heating Mode
Heating Mode works the same as Cooling Mode except the Reversing
Valve is switched and the sequence is opposite. Compressors modulate
up when below the Heating Supply Air Setpoint and modulate down
when above the setpoint.
Dehumidifi cation Mode
Fixed Compressors Only
In the Dehumidifi cation Mode, if this unit has only fi xed compressors,
they will sequentially stage according to Table 1 on page 7 to maintain
the Suction Pressure Setpoint. Stage Up and Stage Down delays will
apply.
NOTE: Control of digital compressor(s) is only available when
the WSHP Module is connected to the VCM-X WSHP
Controller.
Fixed Compressors Only
When a Cool Signal is received, the WSHP Module will go into Cooling Mode. If this unit has only fi xed compressors, they will sequentially
stage according to Table 1 on page 7, using Stage Up and Stage Down
delays to maintain the Supply Air Setpoint that is broadcast from the
VCM-X WSHP Controller .

When a Cool Signal is received, the WSHP Module will go into Cooling Mode. At this point, Compressor A1 will energize and modulate as
necessary to maintain the Supply Air Temperature at the Active Supply
Air Setpoint that is broadcast from the VCM-X Modular Controller.
When Compressor A1 reaches 60%, a stage up timer is started and will
continue to modulate up as necessary. If Compressor A1 stays above
60% for the stage up timer, Compressor B1 will energize and both
compressors will go to ½ of the current position of Compressor A1. For
example, if Compressor A1 is at 80% when Compressor B1 energizes,
both compressors will go to 40% and start modulating together.
Digital Scroll Compressor Control
In Dehumidifi cation Mode, the compressor(s) will modulate to maintain
the Suction Pressure T emperature Setpoint broadcast from the VCM-X
WSHP Controller. If there are two compressors, Compressor A1 will
modulate up to 100% before Compressor B1 can be energized. If Compressor B1 is energized, Compressor A1 will be locked at 100%.
If there are additional fi xed compressor stages and Compressor B1 has
modulated up to 100%, then after a stage up delay, fi xed Compressor A2
will stage on while B1 is allowed to modulate. If B1 again modulates
up to 100%, then after a stage up delay, fi xed compressor B2 will stage
on while B1 is allowed to modulate.
Stage down will again be the reverse as just described with Compressor
A1 being the last compressor to stage off.
Staging Delays
Staging Delays minimum run times and minimum off times are sent
from the VCM-X WSHP Controller.

Safety Monitoring
Proof of Flow
1. If there is a call for a compressor and there is no Proof of Flow
Input Enable:
• The module will wait up to 3 minutes to activate
the Proof of Flow Alarm LED(s) which will blink
the code indicating failure.
2. If the compressor(s) is (are) running and contact is opened for
2 seconds during Heat Pump Heating:
• Compressor(s) will be turned off.
3. If the compressor(s) are running and contact is opened for 2
seconds during Cooling:
• Proof of Flow Input will be ignored.
• No alarm will be generated.
Low Suction Pressure Detection
1. If any Circuit’s Suction Pressure falls below the Low Suction
Pressure Setpoint for longer than 1 minute, then the following
will occur:
Low Leaving Water Temperature
NOTE: This safety monitoring is only performed in the Heat
Mode.
1. If the Leaving Water Temperature falls below setpoint, the
following will occur:
• The last compressor will turn off.
• Alarm LED will indicate Compressor Low Water
Temp Shutoff.
• Last compressor will be locked out until the
Leaving temperature is 6 degrees above setpoint.
2. If the Leaving Water Temperature remains below setpoint for
1 minute or falls 3 degrees below setpoint, the following will
occur:
• All compressors will deactivate.
• Alarm LED will indicate Compressor Low
Water Temperature Shutoff.
• All compressors will be locked out until the
Leaving Temperature is 12 degrees above setpoint.
• The compressor(s) on that circuit will turn off.
• Alarm LED will indicate Low Suction Pressure.
• Compressor(s) will be enabled again after 10
minutes if Suction Pressure rises above setpoint.
2. If any Circuit’s Suction Pressure falls below the Low Suction
Pressure Setpoint for longer than 1 minute a second time
within a two hour window, then the following will occur:
• The compressor(s) on that circuit will be locked out.
• Alarm LED will indicate a Compressor Lockout.
• Manual reset or change of mode (i.e., Cool to Heat)
must occur to reset back to normal operation.
Unsafe Suction Pressure Detection
If the Suction Pressure falls below the Unsafe Suction Setpoint for 5
seconds, the circuit’s compressor will be locked out immediately and
will not be allowed to restart. You will need to reset the Power to restart
the unit.

Temperature Sensor Testing
The following sensor voltage and resistance tables are provided to aid in
checking sensors that appear to be operating incorrectly. Many system
operating problems can be traced to incorrect sensor wiring. Be sure all
sensors are wired per the wiring diagrams in this manual.
If the sensors still do not appear to be operating or reading correctly,
check voltage and/or resistance to confi rm that the sensor is operating
correctly per the tables. Please follow the notes and instructions below
each chart when checking sensors.
Table 5, cont.: Temperature/Resistance for Type III
10K Ohm Thermistor Sensors
Thermistor Sensor Testing Instructions
Use the resistance column to check the thermistor sensor while disconnected from the controllers (not powered).
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 5.08 VDC, then the sensor or wiring is “open.”
If the voltage is less than 0.05 VDC, then the sensor or wiring is
shorted.

OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer
T esting for R-410A Refrigerant
The Evaporator Coil Temperature is calculated by converting the Suction Pressure to T emperature. The Suction Pressure is obtained by using
the OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer , which is connected into the
Suction Line of the Compressor.
Use the voltage column to check the Suction Pressure Transducer while
connected to the WSHP Module. Read voltage with a meter set on DC
volts. If the temperature/voltage or pressure/voltage readings do not
align closely with the chart, your Suction Pressure Transducer is probably defective and will need to be replaced.
See the OE275-01 Suction Pressure Transducer , Pressure, T emperature,
and Voltage Chart for R-410A Refrigerant testing (Table 6). The chart
shows a temperature range from 20°F to 80°F . For troubleshooting purposes, the DC Voltage readings are also listed with their corresponding
temperatures and pressures.
The WSHP Module is equipped with LEDs that can be used to verify
operation and perform troubleshooting. There are LEDs for communication, operation modes, diagnostic codes, and relays. The Module has
18 operational LEDs—one used for power, one used for communications, one used for operation status, one used for alarms, fi ve used for
compressor relays, two used for Suction Pressure Transducer status, and
seven used for Binary Input status. See Figures 5 and 6 for the LED
locations. The LEDs associated with these inputs and outputs allow you
to see what is active without using a voltmeter.
Operation Status LEDs
“STATUS” - This is the status blink code LED. It will light up and
fi rst blink the address of the Module. It will then blink out the Mode of
Operation. See Table 7 below for Status Blink Code descriptions. The
blink code descriptions are also located on the Module’s front cover.
See Figure 5 for location.

Suction Pressure Transducer LEDs
“PRES 1 & 3” - There are LEDs for two of the Suction Pressure
Transducers. Since each set of two compressors share a sensor, these
LEDs which are located on the top left of the WSHP Module will give
a better indication of which compressor is causing an alarm. See Table 9 for PRES LED status descriptions. See Figure 6 for locations.

LED Diagnostics
“POWER” LED: When the WSHP Module is powered up, the POWER
LED (located above the address switches) should light up and stay on
continuously. If it does not light up, check to be sure that the power
wiring is connected to the board, the connections are tight, and the
VCM-X WSHP Controller is powered (if connected). If after making
all these checks, the POWER LED does not light up, the module is
probably defective.
“COMM” LED: When the WSHP Module is powered up while in Stand
Alone Mode, the COMM LED does not light up. When the module is
connected to the VCM-X WSHP Controller, the COMM LED should
light up, indicating Communications. Each time Communications are
detected, this LED should continuously blink on and off for a half second.
This LED should never stop checking for a Communications signal. If it
does not light up, check to be sure that the power wiring is connected to
the board, the connections are tight, and the VCM-X WSHP Controller
is powered. If after making all these checks, the COMM LED does not
light up, the board is probably defective.
“ST A TUS” LED: As previously described, when the WSHP Module is
fi rst powered up, the STATUS LED will b
