The HPU2 heat pump controller is a stand-alone microprocessor-based controller for liquid source heat pump units.
The application includes liquid source heat pump units with two-stage compressor, reversing valve and fan.
Overview
A digital input is provided to monitor equipment status. A two-wire serial interface is provided for the thermostat. The

• Reversing valve control
• Local backup schedule
• Individual temperature setpoints for occupied/unoccupied heat and cool
•LONWORKS interface to building automation systems
• Equipment status input for additional safety interlocks
• Thermostat with space temperature, setpoint adjust, fan override, occupancy override
• Fan control energized on call for heating or cooling
• Automatic heat/cool changeover
• Global unit enable for main plant synchronization
• Remote sensor capabilities
• Automatic configuration with the LCI
• Real Time Clock
• Alarm/Event reporting

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Precautions
General
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important installation and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the equipment.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Disconnect ALL power sources when installing or servicing this
equipment to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
Make all wiring connections in accordance with these instructions and in accordance with pertinent national and local
electrical codes. Use only copper conductors.
Static charges produce voltages that can damage this equipment. Follow these static electricity precautions when handling this equipment.
• Work in a static free area.
• Touch a known, securely grounded object to discharge any charge you may have accumulated.
• Use a wrist strap when handling printed circuit boards. The strap must be secured to earth ground.
Location
Avoid locations where corrosive fumes, excessive moisture, vibration or explosive vapors are present.
Avoid electrical noise interference. Do not install near large contactors, electrical machinery, or welding equipment.
This equipment is suitable for indoor use only. Preferably, or as required by National Electrical Code, the unit is
intended to be installed within an electrical control enclosure. Operate where ambient temperatures do not exceed
140 °F (60 °C) or fall below 32 °F (0 °C) and relative humidity does not exceed 90%, non-condensing.
FCC Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference. This equipment can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to a power source different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the equipment supplier or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved in these instructions
could void your authority to operate this equipment in the United States.
BEFORE INSTALLING
About this Document
The instructions in this manual are for the HPU2 module which supports a liquid source heat pump.
Inspecting the Equipment
Inspect the shipping carton for damage. If damaged, notify the carrier immediately. Inspect the equipment for damage.
Return damaged equipment to the supplier.
What is Not Included with this Equipment
• A power source for the equipment electronics and peripheral devices.
• Tools necessary to install, troubleshoot and service the equipment.
• The screws or DIN rail needed to mount the device.
• Peripheral devices, such as sensors, actuators, etc.
• Cabling, cabling raceway, and fittings necessary to connect this equipment to the power source, FTT-10A network
and peripheral devices.
Equipment Location
Abide by all warnings regarding equipment location provided earlier in this document.
Optimally, the equipment should be installed within a secure enclosure.
If the equipment is to be installed outdoors, it must be contained within a protective enclosure. The enclosure must
maintain internal temperature and humidity within the ranges specified for this equipment.
The equipment must be installed within 500 feet of all input peripherals (smoke detectors, sensors, etc.) that will be
connected to the equipment.
Selecting a Power Source
This equipment requires a UL recognized Class 2 external power source (not supplied) to operate. The controller
power input requires a voltage of 24 Volts AC.
To calculate power source current requirements, add the power consumption of all peripheral devices to that of the
controller.
The controller and sensor power supplies can use the same power source. If both are using the same power source,
the loads must have EMF protection. This protection can be integral to the load, or installed in the 24 VAC wiring across
the load’s coil.
To provide necessary RFI and transient protection, the controller’s ground (GND) pin (T40) must be connected to earth
ground or the earth ground of the packaged unit’s enclosure ground. Failure to properly ground the controller may
cause it to exceed FCC limits. Excessive noise could also produce inaccurate sensor data. The power source must be
capable of operating with this connection to ground.
INSTALLATION
Warning: Electrical shock hazard. To prevent electrical shock or equipment damage, disconnect ALL
power sources to controllers and loads before installing or servicing this equipment or modifying any wiring.
Mounting the Device
1.Select a mounting location. Enclosure mounting is recommended.
2.Hold the controller on the panel you wish to mount it on. With a marker or pencil mark the mounting locations on
the panel.
3.Using a small drill bit pre-drill the mounting holes.
4.Using two #6 pan head screws, mount the controller to the panel.
5.Wire the controller (See Routing Cabling to the Device).
