Creating an ideal environment for indoor pool facilities
Indoor pool facilities are unlike any other structure in design, construction and maintenance requirements.
Humidity, air and water temperatures are especially difficult to control, and improper management usually results
in an uncomfortable environment, excessive operating costs and possibly serious structural damage. Effectively
controlling these special conditions require control hardware and control sequences specially engineered for
large commercial indoor pool applications. The PoolPak System utilizes an environmental control package
designed to meet all special needs of the indoor pool environment, while reducing energy usage and building
maintenance costs.
Operating Cost
Energy consumption is a direct function of the variables necessary to satisfy the occupant and protect the
facility. These variables include space heating and cooling, water heating, humidity removal and ventilation.
Maintaining ideal and precise environmental conditions has a fairly high cost of operation. And for a majority of
the indoor pools, regardless of geographic location, require water and space heating 70% to 90% of the year.
Application
Moisture Loads
An indoor swimming pool produces large quantities of water vapor through evaporation, which accounts for
roughly 95% of the pool water heat loss, making the water colder. This excessive humidity will form damaging
condensation unless removed from the building. In the past, the method of removing this water vapor was
by ventilating an otherwise energy efficient building, exhausting the humid air and the energy it contained.
Additional energy was used to bring in and heat the make-up air and to heat the pool water.
More cost effective technologies offer an alternative method adding heat exchangers and mechanical heat
recovery systems with many useful options. The ideal solution to removing the water vapor from the pool area is
to convert the latent (wet) heat contained in the moist air back into sensible (dry) heat, placing it back into the
pool water and air.
Effects of Moisture
Excess humidity in natatorium structures may be readily apparent as condensation on cool surfaces such as
windows and outside doors, the growth of mildew or mold, and, when coupled with poor pool chemistry, the
accelerated corrosion of metals. In its less obvious forms, moisture may penetrate walls and ceilings and cause
rot that becomes noticeable only when large scale structural failure occurs. Humidity levels are also a major
factor in the comfort of pool users.

ComPak® Series IOM
Indoor Air Quality
Pools and water parks with water features have a higher evaporation rate than a standard pool because of
the increased water surface area. Chloramines (See Pool Water Chemistry below), which are present in the
water, become more concentrated in the air as the “water to air” interactions increase, affecting the indoor air
quality. A strong “chlorine” odor is an indicator of poor pool water chemistry, and is generally offensive to the
occupants. Higher levels of chloramines can cause skin/eye irritation and respiratory problems commonly known
as “lifeguard lung”.
Most poolrooms are designed with a minimum ventilation rate to dilute the airborne pollutants generated from
the chemical interactions in the pool water. Typically these rates are based on ASHRAE standard 62.1 and
dictated by local codes at about 0.5 CFM/ square foot of pool and deck area, but depending on the pool
water chemistry the ventilation rate may not always be adequate for good poolroom indoor air quality.
However, increasing ventilation rates can significantly add to the cost of operation. Including energy
conservation strategies such as heat recovery, airflow measurement and CO2 based control help control costs
while improving indoor air quality.
Depending on the geographic location and season of the year, treating the outside air has a direct effect on
energy consumption. Some facilities prefer higher than minimum ventilation rates, up to 100% of OA,
to maximize indoor air quality, but the cost of treating this air can be significant.
Occupant Comfort
Occupant comfort in a natatorium is easy to understand. If you ever swam in an outdoor pool on a cold,
windy day, or exited a pool in a dry, desert location--you will probably notice an immediate chill. The opposite
is true where high humidity is not adequately controlled either through ventilation or by mechanical means.
The moisture level can reach such a state where it is oppressive or stuffy. Common complaints are difficulty in
breathing and the room being perceived to be warmer than the actual dry bulb temperature would suggest.
Regardless of the source of discomfort, users will not enjoy the facility if water/air temperatures and humidity
levels are not within a narrow range. Ideal water temperature is around 82° with the air temperature about 2
degrees F higher to prevent chilling when exiting the pool and to minimize evaporation from the pool surface.
Here are some recommended temperatures for poolrooms, which can be adjusted to meet specific needs of
bathers. In general, “active” poolrooms are maintained at lower temperature ranges so the users don’t overheat,
warmer temperatures are more common for seniors or children or less active pools.
The desirable humidity range is generally between 50% and 60%--greater than 60% creates a sticky feeling
and/or difficult breathing, and low humidity results in evaporative cooling on the bather’s skin, resulting in a
chill.
Poor air movement caused by improper duct placement within the poolroom will also lead to occupant
discomfort. Excessive supply air blowing on bathers can create drafts, while uneven air distribution may create
stagnant zones within the space.

Water chemistry in swimming pools is critical for the health of the bathers and the condition of the enclosure and
components. An enclosure with poor water chemistry has a noticeable “chlorine” smell, which is an indication of
high chloramines in the air. Not only does this have an effect on the water, but it affects the bathers and the air
they breathe.
Dehumidification systems are not designed to remove the effects of incorrect pool water chemistry.
Dehumidification/ventilation equipment is not designed to remedy the effects of poor pool chemistry, but is
designed to deliver prescribed ventilation to manage smaller amounts of pollutants generated from normal pool
activity. Pool water chemistry is a part of daily maintenance and it is recommended that the users follow the
current National Spa and Pool Institute standards.

Indoor Pool Water Chemistry publication at the online PoolPak® Educational Library.

SECTION II: PRINCIPLES, FUNCTIONS,
AND FEATURES
The Mechanical Dehumidification System
Principles of Operation
The PoolPak System is a complete environmental control system designed expressly for indoor swimming pool
enclosures. It takes into account two important factors: the swimming pool occupant (personal comfort) and the
swimming pool environment (the physical structure and surrounding furnishings).
The swimming pool enclosure can be a hostile environment for equipment, decor and building structures.
A PoolPak® System’s major function is to dehumidify the pool enclosure air through a vapor compression cycle.
During this cycle the PoolPak® System recycles the sensible and latent heat and places it back into the pool water
and air as needed. This recycling process saves money and keeps your pool environment efficient and safe.
ComPak® Series IOM
Solid state microprocessor technology, working in conjunction with sensors, continually monitors water and air
conditions provide superior occupant comfort. Unlike typical outside air ventilation systems, a PoolPak® System
recycles energy and blankets the walls and windows with warm, dry air.
PoolPak® dehumidification systems reduce the energy input required to maintain pool water and air temperatures.
By dehumidifying the air and recycling the latent energy back into the pool air and water, the unit will reduce
operating costs when compared to conventional heating and ventilating systems. Pool water and enclosure
heating are still required but with greatly reduced requirements.
A PoolPak unit, when matched correctly to the evaporation rate of the pool water and overall dehumidification
requirements, will efficiently maintain the pool air at relative humidity levels between 50% and 60%. It should
be noted that a lower evaporation rate occurs when the pool enclosure’s air temperature is maintained above
the pool water temperature. Evaporation losses, and the energy required to maintain desired room conditions,
will dramatically increase if the air temperature is allowed to fall below the pool water temperature. It is
recommended that the continuous dry bulb temperature entering the evaporator of the PoolPak® unit not fall
be l ow 75° F.
PoolPak recommends that backup heating equipment for both pool water and pool enclosure air is capable of
carrying the full system heating requirements. This makes for a well-designed system that will provide the least
amount of pool down time if unforeseen system problems occur. Building conductive loads and other losses must
be taken into consideration.
Automatic Control of Air Temperature and Humidity
An integral part of any PoolPak® System is a proven microprocessor control system which automatically senses
and maintains comfort conditions. Sensors detect changes in humidity and air temperature in the indoor pool
environment and quickly regulate supply air conditions to meet set point comfort levels, even during periods of
unusually heavy pool use.
To prevent condensation on walls and windows, The PoolPak® System automatically adjusts humidity in
response to changes in wall or window surface temperatures. As the seasons and weather conditions change,
the PoolPak® System changes its own mode of operation. Throughout the year, PoolPak® thinks “efficiency” and
automatically selects the least expensive energy source for the poolroom conditions.
PoolPak® models include a factory mounted and wired space temperature and humidity sensor at the return air
opening of the unit. Refer to the installation section for mounting location. Caution should be exercised. When
the outside air is to be introduced into the space for ventilation, adequate exhaust capacity via an integral (or a
separate external fan) must be specified to ensure the poolroom remains slightly negative. An inadequately sized
exhaust system may result in damage to the structure and pool odors may be forced into other areas of
the building.
Room Dew Point Control
PoolPak units with the CommandPak® Control System (CPCS) controller operate using an advanced type of
control called dew point temperature control. This method of control is more accurate than conventional relative
humidity control. The main purpose of a dehumidification system is to maintain the amount of moisture in the
pool area below a level that would cause damage to the building. Relative humidity is a measurement of the
percentage of moisture which is in the air at a given dry bulb temperature in proportion to the maximum amount
of moisture that could be contained at this particular dry bulb temperature. Warmer air can hold more moisture
than colder air and, therefore, changes in dry bulb temperature will change the relative humidity reading without
any change in the actual amount of moisture in the air. The amount of moisture in the air is expressed as “grains
of moisture per pound of dry air” and is directly related to the dew point temperature.
The CPCS-PCP uses dew point control to operate the PoolPak® unit and maintain the moisture level below the
setpoint. The space dry bulb temperature and relative humidity determine the dew point temperature. By varying
the space temperature and space relative humidity set points, the dew point set point is changed. When the
space dew point temperature rises more than 1/2 degree Fahrenheit above the space dew point temperature
set point, the CPCS-PCP controller energizes the compressor for dehumidification. As the dew point temperature
drops more than 1/2 degree Fahrenheit below the dew point temperature set point the controller de-energizes
the compressor.
ComPak Operation
The ComPak® fan draws in warm, moist air from the pool enclosure. This air passes through the evaporator
(dehumidification) coil and gives up heat energy to the refrigerant which is in a cool, liquid state. This exchange
of energy causes the air temperature to fall below its dew point, resulting in moisture condensation on the
evaporator coil. The moisture formed falls into the unit’s condensate drain pan. After passing through the
evaporator coil, the refrigerant becomes a cool gas.
The refrigerant enters the unit’s compressor, where it is compressed into a hot gas. While in the compressor, the
refrigerant absorbs the energy used to operate the compressor. This hot gas refrigerant then travels either through
an air reheat coil, the pool water condenser or to an optional auxiliary air conditioning condenser, which may
be either air or water cooled. If air heating is called for, the air reheat coil is used. The hot refrigerant exchanges
energy with the cooler, dehumidified air coming from the evaporator coil. This causes the temperature of the air
to rise for heating.
www.poolpak.com | 800-959-772512 | ComPak® Series - Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Figure 2-1. ComPak® AW and HCD Typical Refrigerant System Schematic
ComPak® Series IOM
If pool water heating is required (AWH models only), the hot gas flows into a pool water condenser, where
it adds energy to the incoming pool water. This heats the pool water while the refrigerant is condensed into
a warm liquid. If space cooling is called for, the refrigerant flows to the auxiliary air conditioning condenser
bypassing the air reheat coil and pool water condenser and allowing cool air from the evaporator coil to provide
space cooling.
CommandPak® Control System
Overview
The CPCS-PCP controller is a micro-processor based system that maintains pool enclosure humidity and air and
water temperatures at optimum levels automatically. It is also possible to monitor this critical data via the Internet
using the optional “Virtual-Tech® Remote Access Package (RAP). This also allows the controller to be accessed
from the factory via the internet or a telephone line. (AWH and HCDH only)
The CPCS-PCP is designed to work with the ComPak® dehumidification system to provide an environment that
is both comfortable and cost effective. It controls unwanted humidity in the pool enclosure and helps to prevent
unsightly condensation from forming on surfaces.
The CPCS-PCP provides accurate control and allows the user to monitor system parameters and change setpoints
easily. For this purpose, a remote interface unit with a text display and keypad is provided. The remote panel
should be mounted outside the pool space, in an office or in the equipment room. (The CPCS-PCP remote
interface unit contains no sensors.) All setpoints are saved in the memory of the CPCS-PCP and are not erased
in the event of a power failure. Critical operating data can be easily accessed by a service technician for the
purpose of system operation and evaluation.
Humidity Control
As the dewpoint temperature within the pool enclosure rises above the desired setpoint, the CPCS-PCP activates
the compressor within the ComPak® to begin the dehumidification process. If the space temperature is below the
desired setpoint, the heat recovered during dehumidification is directed to the air reheat coil for space heating.
If the pool water temperature is also below the setpoint, some of the recovered heat is directed to the pool water
condenser (model AW only) for pool water heating. If neither air heating nor pool water heating is required,
the recovered heat can be directed to an auxiliary air conditioning condenser if the system is so equipped. If the
system does not include an auxiliary air conditioning condenser, the CPCS-PCP will direct the recovered heat to
the air reheat coil until the need for dehumidification is satisfied.
Cold Surface Temperature Humidity Reset
The CPCS-PCP control system includes a sensor that measures the temperature of the coldest surface in the pool
enclosure, usually an exterior window or door frame. When the temperature of this surface approaches the
dewpoint temperature of the space, the controller lowers the humidity setpoint to activate dehumidification. This
function helps to prevent condensation on the cold surface.
Space Heating
When the compressor is running, the CPCS-PCP directs the recovered heat to the air reheat coil. Space heating
will continue until the space temperature reaches the setpoint. The CPCS-PCP will activate the auxiliary
space heating system if the ComPak® unit is unable to satisfy the heating need with heat recovered during
dehumidification. The CPCS-PCP will activate the auxiliary pool water heating system if the water temperature
cannot be satisfied with recovered heat. An auxiliary pool water heater must be supplied as part of the pool
water pump and filter system.
Networking Multiple Units
CPCS-PCP networking allows up to four ComPak® units to be connected together. The units will work with each
other to control water temperature, air temperature, and relative humidity. Networked ComPak® units have all
the features of standard ComPak® plus the ability to control water temperature in multiple pools. They also allow
system dehumidification capacity to be staged. All units on the network are accessible from a single remote
interface unit for convenience.
Space Cooling (Optional)
If space cooling is required and the unit is equipped with an auxiliary air conditioning condenser (air-cooled or
water-cooled), the CPCS-PCP will activate the space cooling mode of operation. In this mode, the heat removed
from the space air will be directed to the auxiliary air conditioning condenser. The air cooling mode of operation
is independent of the need for dehumidification.
When the ComPak® unit is equipped with a field supplied economizer, the CPCS-PCP will automatically select
the most economical method for space cooling. An economizer utilizes outside air rather than the refrigeration
system to achieve space cooling. A sensor connected to the CPCS-PCP monitors the outside air temperature.
When appropriate, the controller will disable the compressor and bring in cool outside air for economical
operation.
A separate exhaust system must be installed to ensure negative room pressure during the economizer mode.
Water Heating (Models AWV and AWH only)
If the pool water temperature is also below the set point, some of the recovered heat is directed to the pool
water condenser for pool water heating. Heating can only take place during the dehumidification when heat
is captured in the refrigeration circuit. This is only available on the Model AW, which is equipped with a pool
water condenser.

PCP Installation
Introduction
Installation requires the unit to be placed on a roof mounted curb, the mechanical room floor, an appropriate
location in the pool room, or outside on an equipment housekeeping pad. Isolation pads should be placed under
the unit to minimize transmission of noise due to unit operation. Then pool water is piped to the unit. Electrical
power from a properly sized fused disconnect is connected to the unit. The supply and return air ducts are
connected to their respective locations on the unit. The condensate is piped back to the pool or to the sewer.
If an optional remote air-cooled condenser is used, place the condenser in a proper outdoor location.
Refrigerant piping is then run from the air cooled condenser to the ComPak® unit. Refrigerant lines must be
leak checked and evacuated through installer provided Schrader valves. Control and power wiring are run to
complete the installation. If a field-furnished auxiliary space heating coil is installed, the control for this heater
must be field wired to the ComPak® controls shown in Figure 4-8.
Outside air can be ducted into the unit through the optional outside air duct connection. The unit can draw up
to 30% of its supply air from the outside. When ventilating the natatorium in this way, an exhaust fan must be
furnished in the natatorium to exhaust to the outside an air volume slightly greater than the air volume introduced
into the natatorium from the outside. This will maintain a negative pressure in the space, preventing odor and
moisture migration. Outside air filters are provided for Horizontal ComPak® units. For Vertical ComPak® units,
outside air must be filtered before entering the unit.

Clearance
For proper operation and service, ComPak® Vertical, ComPak® Horizontal and RoofComPak® units require 36”
clearance on all sides.
Mounting of ComPak Units
Locate the ComPak® unit on a firm level base. If floor mounting, ensure that the floor is capable of supporting the
operating weight. If wall mounting or hanging a unit, provide a support structure that is capable of supporting
the unit while protecting pool patrons and employees from injury. Ensure that the support structure will not
interfere with the operation of the unit. Provision must be made for servicing units suspended above floor level.
Install isolation pads under the unit to minimize unit transmitted vibration noise.
Inspection
Upon receipt of the ComPak® unit(s), immediately inspect for damage. In particular, inspect the housing and the
evaporator coil face. Minor indentations of the fins will not affect performance. However, if there is substantial
damage, immediately notify shipping company of unseen damage at delivery with a detailed letter outlining the
damage. Retain copies of all shipping damage claim documentation as well as photographs of the observed
damage.
NOTE
PoolPak® LLC does not ship damaged units from its facility nor
is it responsible for damage incurred during transit.
Power Supply
A separate fused disconnect switch must be provided per local codes and be within easy accessibility of the
ComPak® unit. Use the minimum circuit capacity listed on the unit’s data plate to determine the minimum wire
size for incoming electrical power. The ground connection for the unit is located in the unit control panel. The
power supply to the unit must be adequate for the compressor starting amperage (LRA). If it is not, a compressor
rotor stall will occur during start-up due to an excessive voltage drop.
All field wiring must be done according to the wiring diagram provided with the unit and in conformance to the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and any other applicable local electrical code(s). Conduits connected to outdoor
units must be sealed in accordance with NEC 300.7(A).
For Vertical and Horizontal ComPaks, installing contractor must punch a hole into the electrical compartment to
run power wires. The hole is to be properly finished with a rubber grommet and weather sealing.
Control Wiring
All control wiring field connections are described in the wiring diagram furnished with the ComPak® unit as well
as in the Field Wiring section of this manual. All control wiring is low voltage.
Condensate Piping
The condensate may be piped to a drain or returned to the pool if local codes allow. If returned to the pool, the
condensate should be piped to the skimmer. PoolPak® LLC recommends neither for, nor against, the practice of
returning condensate to the pool. The overflow drain should be piped in a similar fashion. The installer should
review the local codes prior to making the decision of where to dispose of the condensate. The amount of
condensate produced in a year is about equal to the volume of the pool.
For curbs by PoolPak, see the specific curb drawing that is specifically designed for the ComPak (Fig. 4-4)
or for the RoofComPak (Fig. 4.3). For curbs by others, you must use the same dimensions as shown.
The outside dimensions of the curb are such that the base of ComPak® extends over the edge of the curb all
the way around. This aids in preventing rainwater from getting between the base of the ComPak® and the curb.
PP It is the installing contractor’s responsibility to complete the following:
• Flash the curb into the roof
• Connect the supply and return duct to the curb’s duct support rails.
• Connect condensate drain line with appropriate trap
• Seal the curb to the bottom of the ComPak® using the gasket supplied with the curb
• Install counter-flashing provided with the curb separately between the curb and the ComPak unit.
• Seal any piping connections where piping is going through the curb
If specified when ordering, all water piping connections can be made through the curb. These water connections
may include: pool water, condensate, auxiliary hot water coil (optional).
For outdoor units with top duct connections, contractor is responsible for sealing these connections.

Integral Gas Furnace Option (RoofComPak Only)
When using a gas furnace, power venting is provided for all unit sizes. External vent piping and/or cap is
required. Please refer to the furnace manufacturer’s manual for piping and venting instructions. Install, leak-test,
and properly regulate piping for the gas-fired heater. Pressures should be regulated to the entering pressures as
shown on the furnace manufacturer’s data plate or manual.
The CPCS-PCP is the CommandPak® Control System programmable controller designed specifically for the
ComPak® dehumidification system. It is a robust system capable of a var iety of functions. The following
text describes the field wiring required for for proper operation of the CPCS-PCP dehumidification system
in a typical ComPak® unit installation.The field wiring diagram (see Figure 4-10) shows the location of the
connections for the sensors and other required devices.The numbers following the text identify the location
on the field wiring diagram where each device is connected to the ComPak® unit electrical panel.
Remote Interface Unit (1)
The remote interface unit allows the user to view space temperature, pool water temperature, and relative
humidity, change set points, and receive fault notifications. It should be mounted in a convenient location that
is outside the pool area. The ambient temperature of the mounting location must always be above 32 F.
The maximum distance from the Remote Interface Unit to the ComPak® unit is 1000 feet.
For distances greater than 1000 feet, contact the factory.
The control panel does not contain any sensors and should be mounted outside the pool enclosure. A factory
supplied 6 ft cable RJ25 (6 conductor) must be installed between the ComPak® unit and the control panel.
NOTE
For distances greater than 6 feet, use 6 conductor, 22 AWG, shielded, twisted-pair cable along with the
supplied RJ25 jack and second 6 foot cable shipped loose with the unit.
The wall mounting of the terminal first requires the back piece (A) of the RIU assembly. The RIU is designed to fit
a single gang, extra-deep electrical box mounted horizontally in the wall. The RJ25 jack and most of the black
cable should be placed inside the box before installing the mounting bracket. A ¾” hole must be drilled for the
6-conductor cable which connects the remote interface unit to the PoolPak® unit. The below is specific mounting
instructions that correspond to the mounting schematic below:
1. Fasten the back piece (A) to the gang box using the rounded-head screws supplied in the packaging.
Use the screws that come with the box to secure the bracket.
2. Thread the 6-conductor cable through the back piece (A) and connect to the back of front panel (B).
3. Rest the front panel (B) on the back piece A and fasten the parts together using the flush-head screws
supplied in the packaging.
4. Finally, fit the click-on frame (C).

ComPak® Series IOM
Cold Surface Temperature Sensor (2)
The cold wall temperature sensor is shipped pre-wired and mounted on to the field wiring terminals. This sensor
is used to measure the temperature of the coldest surface in the pool enclosure. The sensor is an aluminum bar
1” long by ¼” square with a clearance hole for a number 8 screw and two 6” wires on one end.
When the temperature of the surface drops to within 5 F of the space air dew point the humidity set point will
be automatically reset downward to help prevent condensation on the cold surface. It should be noted that
resetting the humidity set point will not compensate for lower quality building materials such as single pane
glass or non-thermally broken frames.
The sensor should be mounted on an exterior window or door frame that is not in direct sunlight. In cases where
there are no exterior windows or doors, the sensor should be mounted on the inside surface of an exterior
wall. The sensor must be in contact with the cold surface. Electrical connection should be made with 22 AWG,
copper, two-conductor, shielded, twisted-pair cable. Connect the shield drain wire to ground at the ComPak®
unit end only.
Economizer System (Optional) (3)
An economizer system cools the space with outside air instead of the compressor. The CPCS-PCP provides
a dry contact closure to activate the economizer. The contacts of the CPCS-PCP may be connected directly
to the economizer control circuit provided the circuit is 24 VAC maximum and the current does not exceed
1 amp inductive. The other components of the system must be provided by others. (See figure 4-6 below for
an illustration of a typical economizer system.)
Units equipped with an economizer require relocation of the factory mounted return air sensor. It must be
located in a duct that will always contain air that represents the space temperature and humidity.
The economizer will operate only when space cooling is required and there is no dehumidification requirement.
When the outside air temperature is greater than 50°F and more than 5°F below the space temperature set
point and the space temperature rises above the set point, the compressor is disabled and a dry contact closure
between T2.16 and T2.17 is made to activate the economizer.
When the CPCS-PCP contacts close relay R1 is energized causing the outside and exhaust air dampers (by
others) to open and the return air damper (by others) to close. At the same time relay R2 is energized causing
the exhaust fan to run. If the space temperature continues to rise and exceeds the space temperature set point
by more than two degrees, the economizer contact is opened, reversing the damper positions. The compressor
is energized in the space cooling mode (if so equipped). The compressor will then continue to run until the call
for space cooling is satisfied. The economizer will also be activated in the space cooling mode if the auxiliary
air conditioning condenser option is not installed or if the compressor is locked out by a fault condition.
When economizer option is selected, adequate exhaust capacity via a separate fan must be specified
to ensure the natatorium pressure remains slightly negative. Failure to specify adequately sized exhaust
system may result in damage to structure and pool odors may be forced into other areas of the building.
Outside Air Temperature Sensor (Economizer Option Only) (4)
The outside air temperature sensor is installed only when the outside air economizer option is included.
The sensor is mounted inside a 1/2” PVC conduit pull elbow. It can be mounted to the outside of the building
using standard PVC conduit fittings. The sensor should be mounted near the outside air intake vent for the
economizer system. It is very important to mount the sensor so that it does not receive direct sunlight. The
exposure to sunlight will cause the sensor housing to warm, resulting in temperature readings that are higher
than the actual air temperature. This condition may prevent the CPCS-PCP from selecting the economizer mode
of operation. If possible, mount the sensor under an overhang or on a surface with a northern exposure.
Electrical connection should be made with 22 AWG, copper, 2-conductor, shielded, twisted-pair cable. Connect
the shield drain wire to ground at the ComPak® end only. See figure below for an illustration of the outside air
temperature sensor. Seal the conduit leading to the sensor with silicone caulk to prevent moisture from migrating
out to the sensor and condensing inside the sensor.
Figure 4-7. Outside Air Sensor
Air Cooled Condenser (Optional) (5)
The air-cooled condenser is used to reject heat recovered during the space cooling mode of operation. Only
ComPak® brand air-cooled condensers (PAC Units) should be used with a ComPak® Unit. The CPCS-PCP
provides 24 VAC control signal to the speed control located in the PAC unit control panel. The speed control
then runs the condenser fan motor at the appropriate speed. See figure below for an illustration of a PAC unit
field wiring.

Auxiliary Pool Water Heating System (AWH Model only*) (6)
The auxiliary pool water heating system is provided by others. Typically a gas fired or electric pool water heater
is used. The CPCS-PCP provides a dry contact closure that signals a need for auxiliary water heating. The
contacts of the CPCS-PCP may be connected directly to the heater’s control circuit provided the circuit is 24 VAC
maximum and the current does not exceed 1 amp inductive. Any other applications will require an additional
relay (by others) to be installed between the CPCS-PCP and the pool water heating system.
Auxiliary Air Heating System (7)
Typically a duct mounted electric heater, hot water coil or a factory installed unit mounted hot water coil is
used to provide air heating. The CPCS-PCP provides a form “C” (NO and NC) dry contact closure that signals
a need for auxiliary air heating. The CPCS-PCP contacts may be directly connected to an electric duct heater
control circuit provided the circuit is 24 VAC maximum and the current through the contacts does not exceed 1
amp inductive. Figure 4-9 shows a typical installation that utilizes a 3-way hot water control valve and a unit or
duct mounted hot water coil.

External Alarm System (8)
The CPCS-PCP provides a normally open contact closure for connection to a building management system. If a
fault occurs, the controller will energize this output to indicate that there is a problem with the dehumidification
system. The remote interface unit will display the cause of the fault and provide a suggested course of action.
This output may also be used to energize an external alarm light or buzzer. It may also be directly connected
to an external circuit as long as the circuit is 24 VAC maximum and the current through the contacts does not
exceed 1 amp inductive.
The CPCS-PCP can receive a contact closure signal from a building fire control system. This input of the
controller must be connected to dry (voltage free) contacts only. When this input receives a contact closure,
the ComPak® unit compressor and fan will be shut down and the remote interface unit will show an alarm
condition. When the contact closure opens, The ComPak® unit will resume normal operations. It is possible to
change the operation of the fire trip input to be active on open instead of close. See CPCS-PCP Service in the
Operation section for further explanation.
Return Air Sensor (10)
The return air sensor measures air temperature and relative humidity. The sensor is normally factory mounted in
the ComPak® unit return air section. However, with the optional economizer it is necessary to field mount this
sensor in the duct work. The sensor must be located in the return duct upstream of the exhaust duct connection.
(See Figure 4-6. Economizer Operation for a typical location of the sensor in the economizer system.)
When field mounting is necessary, the sensor will be provided from the factory and must be field wired using
22 AWG, copper 4-conductor, shielded, twisted-pair cable.
Purge Mode Input (11)
The CPCS-PCP can receive a contact closure signal from an external source to activate purge mode operation.
During purge mode, the compressor is disabled and the economizer output is activated to bring in 100%
outside air.
AC Proof Input (12)
An optional interlock used with certain types of heat rejection condensers. Dry contact closure indicates a
problem and prevents compressor operation in air cooling mode.
Pool Water Temperature Sensor (13)
Units equipped with a pool water heating condenser require installation of factory supplied pool water
temperature sensor. It must be mounted upstream of the ComPak® and the auxiliary water heater. The sensor
can be threaded directly into a 1⁄4” FPT fitting. Electrical connection should be made with 22 AWG copper,
2 conductor, shielded, twisted-pair cable. Connect the shield drain wire to ground at the ComPak® end only.

CONTROL PANEL (OPTIONAL)
Do not run piping across service panels, evaporator coil face or air discharge outlet.
If a new or existing pool water heater is piped within the same circuit, the ComPak® unit should be connected in
a parallel loop between the filter and the other heater. This allows the ComPak® unit to act as the primary water
heating source and the other heater as a backup or supplemental water heater.
All pool purification and chemical feed systems MUST be installed downstream of the unit. See Figure 4-11 for
typical water piping illustration. This includes the practice of adding chemicals directly to the skimmer which
results in highly concentrated, corrosive chemicals passing over and through the ComPak® water condenser.
Water chemistry must be maintained at a pH level between 7.2 and 7.6, with a free chlorine level not exceeding
3.0 PPM and a combined chlorine level less than 0.3 PPM.
If possible, install the ComPak® unit above the pool water level. If it is installed below the pool level, isolation
valves must be added. Breakable couplings should be located near the unit on both the water inlet and outlet
lines. When installing piping, connect the piping to these couplings last so as not to place stress on the other
connection in the plumbing system.
A constant flow of water is required through the ComPak® units’ condenser. The circuit to and from the unit must
be capable of maintaining the flow rate as specified for the installed unit (see ComPak® AW Performance in
Table 3-1). To ensure correct water flow, the filter pump usually operates at the same time as the ComPak® unit.
However, to reduce energy consumption during filter off cycle times, a two-speed or small auxiliary water pump
which bypasses the filter may be used.
! CAUTION
CAUTION! Excessive water flow can cause premature erosion and pitting of the pool water condenser.
Adjust valve so that the water flow does not exceed the GPM or pressure drop listed in the table.
PoolPak® recommends a fixed flow control or adjustable flow circuit setter.
PoolPak recommends installing water pressure tap ports to check influent and effluent water pressure. See
ComPak® AW Performance in Table 3-1 for the particular unit model in question for the proper flow rate and
pressure drop across the pool water condenser. The pressure tap ports should be installed in a straight length of
the water piping, exterior to the ComPak® unit. Install the port before any 90-degree turns and approximately 6
inches from the corner-post of the unit.
In some instances, piping from the ComPak® unit to the filter return line may not be feasible or economical.
The unit may be installed on its own supply and return line using a properly sized water pump and appropriate
strainer. Ensure that auxiliary water heating systems are staged to supplement the ComPak® unit water heating.
If the ComPak® unit is installed above the pool surface and the main circulating pump cannot provide the proper
water flow to it at the specified pressure, an auxiliary booster pump is required.
Condensate may be returned to the pool (if local codes allow), but PoolPak® LLC neither recommends nor
disapproves this practice. The installer should check local codes prior to making this decision. Condensate must
be filtered prior to being returned to the pool.
If multiple ComPak® units are installed on the pool water piping circuit, pipe them (and any auxiliary water
heater) in parallel. Piping ComPak® units in series may result in the downstream unit(s) sensing the pool water
temperature as satisfied and not reject heat to the water to its full capacity. The actual pool water temperature
should be sensed by each ComPak® unit and auxiliary water heater.

Salt Water Pools
For units (AW models only) installed serving a salt water pool, wire the pool bonding system to the bonding lug
on the unit copper pool water piping. This connection is required to prevent corrosion of the internal ComPak®
water piping.
For more information on salt water pools, see the article “Salt Water Pools” in the Pool Water Chemistry section
of the PoolPak educational library.
Condensate Drains
Drain pans are connected to a common drain system and must be trapped for proper operation. For AWH
and HCDH units, a trap and piping must be supplied and installed by the customer. The trap depth must be a
minimum of 6 inches (See Figure 4-12). For AWV and HCDV units, a condensate trap is located inside the unit
and the field condensate piping and overflow drain must not have an additional trap.
Provisions MUST be made for disposal of condensate. Condensate from the dehumidifier coil will have nearly the
same properties as the pool water itself. It is recommended that building materials subjected to the condensate
and systems used for its disposal are checked for compatibility. For drain piping use PVC plastic pipe minimum
Schedule 40. The drain line must be sloped to provide proper drainage.
Drain line exposed to outdoor ambient temperatures must be protected against freezing. Wrap lines with electric
heat tape (follow manufacturer’s instructions) controlled by an automatic thermostat set at a minimum of 35°F to
protect against freezing. Insulate all piping. Insulation must be sealed at all seams. Power for heat tape must be
supplied external to the ComPak®.
A standard option for ComPak® units is an integral water-cooled condenser. For this option, all valves and
refrigerant piping is internal to the unit. No additional field wiring is required. No additional refrigerant or oil
charge is required. Water piping connections are 1-1/4” MPT and labeled on the unit.
Remote Air-Cooled Condenser Installation
Space and Location Requirements
The most important consideration which must be taken into account when deciding upon the locations of aircooled equipment is the provision for a supply of ambient air to the condenser, and removal of heated air from
the condenser area. Where this essential requirement is not adhered to, it will result in higher head pressures,
which cause poor operation and possible eventual failure of equipment. Units must not be located in the vicinity
of steam, hot air, or fume exhausts.
UNIT BASE

PLUG THE
UNUSED
CONNECTION
WITH SUITABLE
PVC PLUG
Another consideration which must be taken is that the unit should be mounted away from noise sensitive spaces
and must have adequate support to avoid vibration and noise transmission into the building. Units should be
mounted over corridors, utility areas, rest rooms, and other auxiliary areas where high levels of sound are not an
important factor. Sound and structural consultants should be retained for recommendations.
WALLS OR OBSTRUCTIONS
The unit should be located so that air may circulate freely and not be re-circulated. For proper air flow and
access all sides of the units should be a minimum of “W” away from any wall or obstruction. It is preferred
that this distance be increased whenever possible. Care should be taken to see that ample room is left for
maintenance work through access doors and panels. Overhead obstructions are not permitted. When the
unit is in an area where it is enclosed by three walls, the unit must be installed as indicated for units in a pit.

Figure 4-14. Remote ACC Installation When Installing Multiple Units
UNITS IN PITS
The top of the unit should be level with the top of the pit and side distances increased to “2W”. If the top of the
units is not level with the top of the pit, discharge cones or stacks must be used to raise discharge air to the top of
the pit. This is a minimum requirement.
Figure 4-15. Remote ACC Installation When Installing Units in Pits
Fences must have 50% free area, with 1 foot undercut, a “W” minimum clearance, and must not exceed the tops
of the unit. If these requirements are not met, the unit must be installed as indicated for “Units in Pits”.
Figure 4-16. Remote ACC Installation When Installing Units Near Decorative Fences
Field Installed Piping
Installation of the outdoor air-cooled condenser should only be done by a qualified refrigeration mechanic
familiar with this type of work. Many service problems can be avoided by taking adequate precautions to
provide an internally clean and dry system and by using procedures and materials that conform to established
procedural standards.
PIPING GUIDELINES
The following piping recommendations are intended for use as a general guide. For more complete information,
refer to the latest ASHRAE Handbook.
Materials:
• Use clean, dehydrated, refrigeration-grade copper tubing for all refrigerant lines. Hard drawn tubing should
be used where no appreciable amount of bending around pipes or obstructions is necessary. If soft copper
tubing must be used, care should be taken to avoid sharp bends which may cause restrictions and excessive
refrigerant pressure drops.
• Use long radius elbows wherever possible with one exception - short radius elbows should be used for any
traps in the hot gas riser.
• Braze all copper to copper joints with a phosphorus-copper alloy material such as Silfos 5 or equivalent.
Do not use soft solder.
• During brazing operations flow an inert gas, such as nitrogen, through the lines to prevent internal oxidation
scaling and contamination.
• Support refrigeration lines at intervals with suitable hangers, brackets or clamps.
• Pack glass fiber insulation and a sealing material around refrigerant lines, where they penetrate a wall,
to reduce vibration and to retain some flexibility.
• The liquid line and discharge line should not be in contact with one another. If the installing contractor must tie
these lines together because of an installation requirement, the contractor must insulate them from each other
to prevent heat transfer. Because the discharge line is hot during system operation, precautions should be
taken to avoid personnel injury.
• ComPak® units do not utilize compressors with unloading stages. Consequently, double hot gas risers are not
needed for reduced load conditions as refrigerant flow rates will not fall below minimum velocities necessary
to carry oil up through the discharge line.
• A field provided, field installed liquid line filter-drier is recommended in the field piping to the ComPak® unit.

Sizing:
• The lines must be sized and routed so that oil is carried through the system. Using smaller lines than
recommended will give excessive pressure drops, resulting in reduced capacity and increased power
consumption. Oversized lines could result in an oil flow problem within the system and possible compressor
damage.
• Excessive pressure drops in the liquid line may cause flashing of the refrigerant and a loss of a liquid seal
at the expansion valve inlet. A reduction in capacity may then occur because the presence of gaseous
refrigerant will partially block the expansion valve. Using hot gas and liquid line sizes recommended in
the Air Cooled Condenser section for these units and the proper system refrigerant charge will prevent this
problem.
• Discharge lines should be designed to prevent condensed refrigerant and oil from draining back to the
compressor during OFF cycles. Use the following guidelines.
• The highest point in the discharge line should be above the highest point in the condenser coil.
• The hot gas line should loop toward the floor if the condenser is located above the ComPak®
unit, especially if the hot gas riser is long.
• For refrigerant line sizing for an Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) where the lineset length is less than 100 feet
or the ACC location is less than 50 feet higher or 20 feet lower than the unit, use the below Table 4-2.
• ACC line lengths beyond the above limits will void warranty unless written approval is obtained from the
factory PRIOR to installation and startup.
Refrigerant and Oil Charging:
• PoolPak® units are shipped with the required charge for self contained operation only. The remote ACC
option does NOT provide the refrigerant charge or oil required for the ACC and line sets.
• Refer to Table 4-2 for the additional ACC condenser charge.
• Refer to Table 4-3 for the required additional oil and refrigerant charge. Use the calculation method shown
to calculate the additional refrigerant and oil.
• For the additional oil required, multiply 2% of additional refrigerant charge of both ACC and refrigerant line
length. Use the correct oil type of POE oil depending on the compressor installed:
• For Alliance models SXA, SPA, SSA compressors, use Copeland Ultra P/N 998-E022-00
• For Trane models CSHD compressors, use Trane P/N OIL00080
Sample Charging Calculation:
For an AWV2600 with 73 feet line length and ACC0121 located 30 feet above the unit,
• Table 4-3 indicates: 3/4” discharge line and 5/8” liquid line piping sizes.
• Using R410A oz/ft, additional charge for the lineset is: 73 feet x 0.25 oz/ft + 73 feet x 1.48 oz/ft = 126.0 oz
• Table 4-2 indicates additional charge for ACC0121 (allow 30 F Operation) is: 39 lb x 16 oz/lb = 624.0 oz
• Total additional R410A charge for both ACC and refrigerant line is: 126.0 + 624.0 oz = 750 oz or 46 lbs 14 oz
• Total additional oil charge is: 750 oz x 2% = 15 oz.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
! CAUTION
The dehumidifier should be configured to operate at the set points designed for the facility.
These set points are shown on the yellow label on the door of the RIU. Set points other than those
shown may not be attainable with this dehumidifier.
• Air Temperature (Range 70˚F to 95˚F) The air temperature should normally be set about 2˚F above the pool
water temperature to minimize the pool water evaporation rate (high temperature spas are an exception).
• Relative Humidity (Range 40% to 65%) The normal range for the humidity set point is 50% to 60%. Lower
set points will require more energy (electricity) to satisfy the dehumidification requirement and increase pool
water evaporation.
• Pool Temperature (Range 70˚F to 104˚F) The pool temperature set point is normally set between 80˚F and
88˚F for a typical swimming pool and higher for a spa, depending on user preference.
Purge Mode Control Menu
! CAUTION
TIt is the user’s responsibility to use this feature properly to prevent freeze damage to downstream equipment.
100% outside air at below freezing conditions has the potential to cause serious damage.
Purge Mode causes the unit to force the optional, field-provided, economizer dampers and fan to full open,
introducing large quantities of outside air to the space. This is typically used when “shocking” the pool.
Compressor operation is disabled during purge, but the auxiliary air and water heating systems remain active.
To access the purge mode control menu:
• Press the PRG key to access the main menu.
• Use the arrow keys to scroll to the menu selection for Purge Mode and then press the Enter key.
• To activate purge mode, press the enter key to move the cursor to the OFF/ON parameter.
• Press the Up or Down key to toggle the value to ON.
If the unit is not equipped with the economizer option, a flashing “CAUTION!!! NO FREEZE PROTECTION”
warning will be displayed. This warning indicates that operation of purge mode, without regard for outside air
temperatures below freezing, can result in damage to hot water coils or other equipment in the pool area.
• Use the arrow keys to scroll to the menu selection for Detailed Status and then press the Enter key.

Detailed Status Screen 5 is only present in units configured for multi-unit networking. It displays the following:
• Network Role – Indicates if the unit currently being displayed by the RIU is the master or a slave.
• Net Status – Indicates “CONNECTED” if the unit is properly connected to the multi-unit network. “NO LINK”
indicates the unit is not connected.
• Unit ID Number – Indicates the unit address on the multi-unit network.
ComPak® Series IOM
Figure 5-12. Detailed Status Screen 5
Detailed Status Screen 6 is only present in units configured for multi-unit networking. It displays the following:
• Unit 1 Present – Indicates if the unit currently being displayed by the RIU can communicate with unit 1 on the
multiunit network
• Unit 2, 3, 4 – Same as for unit 1, but for the other 3 possible units on the network.
Networked CPCS-PCP units operate in a MASTER/SLAVE environment. This means that one unit (master)
determines heating, cooling, and dehumidification requirements and broadcasts them on the network to
the other units (slaves). This ensures that all units work together instead of against other. Each networked
unit contains all sensor and controls necessary for independent operation and is capable of acting in the
master role. Units on the network are identified by a number between one and four. The unit with the lowest
identification number having no uncleared alarms will be the master unit.
If an alarm condition occurs in the master unit, it will give up the role of master. The unit with the next lowest
identification number and no unclear alarms will take over the master role. The unit that experienced the alarm
condition will operate in the slave role until the alarm is cleared at the control panel.
A single control panel is used to monitor all units on the network. Starting with detailed status screen 5 to
identify the unit currently being monitored, Press and hold the `esc’ key and use the `up arrow’ key to get to
the next unit. Return to detailed status screen 5 to verify that the correct unit has been chosen. For the standard
configuration, all set points can be changed while the remote interface unit is displaying any unit. The set point
is automatically updated in every unit on the network. Other configurations may require the remote interface
unit to be displaying a particular unit to change the set point.
Figure 5-13. Unit Present Screen
The control panel provides two network status screens. These can be accessed in the detailed status menu.
The figure above shows the first screen that displays the status of units one through four as present or not. Use
this screen to verify that all units on the network are connected and communicating with each other. The figure
below shows the second screen that displays network information for the unit that is being displayed by the
remote interface unit, including network role, connection status and network identification number.
Network Configuration
Using the following four parameters, it is possible to configure the CPCS-PCP network to accommodate a wide
variety of installation options. Network configuration can be accessed in the service menu in MultiUnit Network.
These parameters must be set in each unit individually. Default values are shown in bold type.
POOL WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL - LOCAL OR NETWORK.
Determines whether the unit will control water temperature based on the master’s command (NETWORK) or
its own temperature sensor and set point (LOCAL). If a unit set to LOCAL becomes the master, other units in the
network will not use the master’s command for water heating. They will look to the next line that is not set to
LOCAL. This parameter is only set to LOCAL if the unit is connected to a different pool than the rest of the units
on the network. Because the unit is controlling water temperature on its own, it is necessary to select the correct
unit with the control panel before changing the water temperature set point.
STAGED DEHUMIDIFICATION CONTROL - YES OR NO
Determines whether the unit will run in dehumidification when there is a need for 1 stage or 2 stages of
dehumidification. The master unit will start on any need for dehumidification independent of this parameter.
Slave units with this parameter set to YES will dehumidify only if the master is asking for 2 stages of
dehumidification. Setting this parameter to NO will cause the unit to dehumidify when the master calls for at
least 1 stage of dehumidification. Using this parameter, it is possible to configure the number of units in each
dehumidification stage.
www.poolpak.com | 800-959-772554 | ComPak® Series - Installation, Operation and Maintenance
ComPak® Series IOM
DEHUMIDIFICATION STAGE 2 OFFSET (IN DEGREES OF DEW POINT) - 0 TO 9.9°F (4.0°F).
Determines how far humidity of the space has to rise above the set points before the unit will request 2 stages
of dehumidification on the network. This parameter is normally the same in all units on the network. Making this
parameter smaller will bring on the second stage of dehumidification sooner.
ENABLE NETWORK CONTROL - YES OR NO
Determines whether the unit will participate in the master/slave environment. Setting this parameter to NO will
cause the unit to act like a standard CPCS-PCP single unit. The unit will never become the master on the network
and will not listen to the demands broadcast by the master on the network. Although units with this parameter
set to NO do not participate in the master/slave environment, they are still accessible through the network
control panel. Like the LOCAL pool water temperature setting, this parameter, when set to NO, requires this unit
to be displayed on the control panel before changing any of the set points. The other screens for Pool Water
Temperature Control, Staged Dehumidification, and Stage 2 Offset are not available when this parameter is set
to NO.
CHANGING SET POINTS
Each unit on the network maintains two groups of set points, network and local. If a unit has the Enable
Network Control parameter set to YES and the Water Temperature Control parameter set to NETWORK, it will
control to the network set points. Set points changed when the remote interface unit is displaying this unit will be
changed in every unit on the network with the same NETWORK and Water Temperature Control parameters.
Units that are configured for Network
Control and LOCAL water temperature control will control using local water temperature set point, the network
air temperature and relative humidity set points. When the air temperature and relative humidity set points are
changed when the remote interface unit is displaying the unit, they will be changed in all units configured for
Network control. The water temperature set point will only be changed in the unit currently being displayed by
the remote interface unit. Units that are not configured for Network Control will use all local set points. Therefore
any set points changed while the remote interface unit is displaying this unit will only be changed in this unit.

Troubleshooting
When properly installed according to the instructions in this manual, the ComPak® unit with a CPCS-PCP
controller will perform as designed and provide a pool environment that is both comfortable and cost effective.
However, in the unlikely event that the system does not function properly, the CPCS-PCP has many features that
will help a service technician resolve the issue.
The ComPak® unit has numerous safety devices designed to protect the system from failures. The compressor
will shut down whenever a high refrigerant pressure, low refrigerant pressure, high motor temperature (scroll
compressor models), or evaporator coil freeze-up occurs. Additionally, the compressor and fan will be shut down
whenever a fire detection system alerts the ComPak® unit that a fire trip mode of operation is required or if a fan
motor overload condition is present.
If the ComPak® compressor will not operate upon start-up or troubleshooting and there are no alarm conditions,
check to see that the actual dew point temperature is not below the dew point temperature set point. The dew
point temperature and dew point temperature set point is displayed under the detailed status screen menu. The
compressor will only run after the dew point temperature rises above the dew point temperature set point. This
is usually achieved by a rise in the air temperature. The compressor will not operate unless these dew point
conditions are satisfied. Normally a rise in the air temperature will bring the dew point above the dew point set
point. The rise in air temperature is achieved by energizing the auxiliary air heat circuit.
Whenever a fault condition occurs, the alarm button will glow red and the remote interface unit will display the
fault condition and a recommended course of action. If the fault is a high pressure, low pressure, or defrost, the
CPCS-PCP will display a three digit number representing the status of the A/C solenoid, reheat solenoid and
bypass solenoid at the time of the fault. In the table below, a 1 indicates ON and a 0 indicates OFF.
ComPak® Series IOM

011
After 10 faults occur, the controller will lockout the compressor to prevent it from being damaged. Repeated high
pressure, low pressure, high motor temperature, or defrost trips can cause the compressor motor to fail. When
any of these conditions are present, the problem must be diagnosed and corrected immediately. Faults caused
by fire trips are not counted in the 10 fault lockout protection. If the space relative humidity is greater than the
humidity set point but the compressor is not operating, and the CPCS-PCP control panel reads that the unit is
calling for dehumidification, make sure the ComPak® has sufficient water flow. The CPCS-PCP will lock out the
compressor if the unit does not have sufficient water flow.
After a fault condition has been eliminated, the remote interface unit alarm light will remain lit. However, the
alarm will no longer be shown during normal screen rotation. Pressing the alarm key will show any faults that
have occurred since the alarm light was reset. To reset the alarm light, press and hold the Escape key and then
press the alarm key. If there are currently no fault conditions, the alarm light will go off. The alarm contact closure
output of the controller operates in conjunction with the alarm light on the remote interface unit.
The alarm history can be viewed at any time by going to “HISTORY” in the Service menu. A list of the 50 most
recent faults is kept there. See HISTORY earlier in this manual for details on reading the fault history log.
Fault conditions detected by the CPCS-PCP are displayed as the following:
Compress High Pressure
Indicates that the compressor was shut down due to high refrigerant pressure when the pressure rises above
585 PSIG. See the Troubleshooting Guide for possible causes and solutions. The CPCS-PCP will restart the
compressor five minutes after the fault occurred.
Compress Low Pressure
Indicates that the compressor was shut down due to low refrigerant pressure when the pressure falls below
50 PSIG. See the Troubleshooting Guide for possible causes and solutions. The CPCS-PCP will restart the
compressor five minutes after the fault occurred.
EEPROM Failure
Indicates that a problem with the CPCS-PCP has been detected through self diagnostics. The ComPak®
unit will be shut down if this fault occurs. Contact a qualified service provider to correct the problem.
Fire Trip
Indicates that the CPCS-PCP has received an alarm signal from the building fire control system. The ComPak®
unit will be shut down as long as the alarm signal is present. When the signal is cleared, the unit will resume
normal operation.
Sensor Failure
Indicates that a sensor attached to the CPCS-PCP has failed. Depending on which sensor has failed, some
functions of the ComPak® unit may be disabled until the sensor is repaired. This alarm screen will show the
status of several sensors.
Compressor Motor Thermal Overload
Indicates that the compressor protection module has detected a high motor winding temperature in the
compressor. The CPCS-PCP will shut down the compressor until the protection module resets. See the
Troubleshooting Guide for causes and solutions.
10 Fault Lockout
Indicates that 10 faults have occurred since the unit was powered up. Faults included in this count are high
pressure, low pressure, thermal overload, and defrost. The CPCS-PCP will lock out the compressor to protect it
from damage caused by a recurring fault condition. Contact a qualified service provider to correct the problem.
Fan Overload
Indicates that the fan starter overload has tripped. The CPCS-PCP will shut down the ComPak® unit when this
fault occurs. The fan starter must be reset manually, after which the unit will resume normal operation. See the
Troubleshooting Guide for causes and solutions.
Defrost Trip Active
Indicates that the defrost thermostat is open (opens at 30° F). The CPCS-PCP will shut down the compressor
when this fault occurs. The unit will resume normal operation after the thermostat closes (closes at 40° F).
See the Troubleshooting Guide for causes and solutions.

• PoolPak recommends daily logging of your pool water chemistry. MAINTENANCE AND YOUR POOL
WATER CHEMISTRY IS IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS.
Monthly Maintenance
• Air Filters, inspect and replace or clean as applicable. Dirty filters restrict air flow and can cause improper
unit operation.
• Ensure that the condensate collection pan is draining properly and the condensate is not overflowing or
being drawn into the supply air stream. Check the condensate and overflow lines to ensure that neither are
clogged.
• Check the operation of the blower motor and scroll. Ensure that the scroll does not rub the housing. Check
for proper belt tension. Worn or cracked belts should be replaced. Check fan and mounting brackets for
tightness.
• Ensure that the ALARM light is not illuminated.
Annual Maintenance
• Inspect the refrigeration and water circuits for leaks, wear or corrosion. Corrosion on the water piping or
condenser may indicate poor pool chemical maintenance and improper chlorine and pH levels.
• Check electrical components for loose wiring.
• Although the exterior of the ComPak® units are powder coated, wipe down unit, particularly if installed in
an area subject to dirt or chemical concentration.
• Wash, brush, or vacuum the evaporator and air condenser coils. This will ensure proper heat transfer and
reduce static pressure losses. Caution should be taken not to wet electrical components inside the unit.
NOTE
If service and inspections are not performed by a competent and
experienced service firm, the manufacturer warranty may be voided.
