General Installation Information
NSW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Safety Considerations
Installing and servicing air conditioning and heating
equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and
electrical components. Only trained and qualified service
personnel should install, repair or service heating and air
conditioning equipment. When working on heating and
air conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the
literature, tags and labels attached to the unit and other
safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Use quenching cloth for brazing operations. Have
fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations.
NOTE: Before installing, check voltage of unit(s) to ensure
proper voltage.
WARNING: Before performing service or
maintenance operations on the system, turn off
main power switches to the unit. Electrical shock
could cause serious personal injury.
Process Water Applications
For process water applications, it is recommended that
a secondary load heat exchanger be installed to prevent
corrosion to the unit’s primary coaxial coil. In situations
where scaling could be heavy or where biological growth
such as iron bacteria will be present, a closed loop system is
recommended. Over a period of time, ground water unit heat
exchanger coils may lose heat exchange capability due to a
buildup of mineral deposits. These can be cleaned only by
a qualified service mechanic as special pumping equipment
and solutions are required. Never use flexible hoses with a
smaller inside diameter than that of water connections.
WARNING: To avoid equipment damage, do not
leave the system filled in a building without heat
during cold weather, unless adequate freeze
protection levels of antifreeze are used. Heat
exchangers do not fully drain and will freeze
unless protected, causing permanent damage.
Unit Location
Provide sufficient room to make water and electrical
connections. If the unit is located in a confined space,
provisions must be made for unit servicing. Locate the
unit in an indoor area that allows easy removal of the
access panels and has enough space for service personnel
to perform maintenance or repair. These units are not
approved for outdoor installation and, therefore, must be
installed inside the structure being conditioned. Do not
locate units in areas subject to freezing conditions.
WARNING: Do not store or install units in
corrosive environments or in locations subject
to temperature or humidity extremes (e.g. attics,
garages, rooftops, etc.). Corrosive conditions and
high temperature or humidity can significantly
reduce performance, reliability, and service life.
Mounting Units
Units should be mounted level on a vibration absorbing pad
slightly larger than the base to provide isolation between
the unit and the floor. It is not necessary to anchor the unit
to the floor. Allow access to the front, back, and side access
panels for servicing.
Moving and Storage
Move units in the normal “Up” orientation as indicated by
the labels on the unit packaging. When the equipment
is received, all items should be carefully checked against
the bill of lading to ensure that all crates and cartons
have been received in good condition. Examine units for
shipping damage, removing unit packaging if necessary
to properly inspect unit. Units in question should also
be internally inspected. If any damage is observed, the
carrier should make the proper notation on delivery receipt
acknowledging the damage. Units are to be stored in a
location that provides adequate protection from dirt, debris
and moisture.

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

Field Connected Water Piping
NSW INSTALLATION MANUAL
General
Each unit is equipped with captive FPT water connections
to eliminate ‘egg-shaping’ from use of a backup wrench.
For making the water connections to the unit, a Teflon tape
thread sealant is recommended to minimize internal fouling
of the piping. Do not over tighten connections. All supply and
return water piping should be insulated to prevent excess
condensation from forming on the water lines.
NOTE: Units are factory run-tested using propylene
glycol. Prior to connecting piping to unit, thoroughly flush
heat exchangers.
The piping installation should provide service personnel with
the ability to measure water temperatures and pressures.
The water lines should be routed so as not to interfere with
access to the unit. The use of a short length of high pressure
hose with a swivel type fitting may simplify the connections
and prevent vibration. Optional stainless steel hose kits are
available as an accessory item.
Before final connection to the unit, the supply and return
hose kits must be connected, and the system flushed
to remove dirt, piping chips and other foreign material.
Normally, a combination balancing and close-off (ball) valve
is installed at the return, and a rated gate or ball valve is
installed at the supply. The return valve can be adjusted to
obtain the proper water flow. The valves allow the unit to be
removed for servicing.
to-water heat exchanger (See Pressure Drop Table for water
flow and pressure drop information). Normally about 3 GPM
flow rate per ton of cooling capacity (2.25 GPM per ton
minimum) is needed. Both source as well as load fluid piping
must be at least as large as the unit connections on the heat
pump (larger on long runs).
Never use flexible hoses of a smaller inside diameter than
that of the water connection on the unit and limit hose length
to 10 ft. per connection. Check carefully for water leaks.
CAUTION: Water piping exposed to outside
temperature may be subject to freezing.
Open Loop Well Water Systems
Always maintain water pressure in the heat exchanger by
placing water control valves at the outlet of the unit. Use
a closed bladder type expansion tank to minimize mineral
deposits. Ensure proper water flow through the unit by
checking pressure drop across the heat exchanger and
comparing it to the figures in the pressure drop table.
Normally, about 2 GPM flow rate per ton of cooling capacity
is needed in open loop systems, (1.5 GPM per ton minimum if
entering source temperature is above 50°F [10°C].
Some water control valves draw their power directly from
the unit’s 24V transformer and can overload and possibly
burn out the transformer. Check total VA draw of the water
valve(s) and ensure it is under 40 VA.
The proper water flow must be delivered to each unit
whenever the unit heats or cools. To assure proper flow,
the use of pressure/temperature ports is recommended
to determine the flow rate. These ports should be located
adjacent to the supply and return connections on the unit.
The proper flow rate cannot be accurately set without
measuring the water pressure drop through the refrigerant-

etc.). Most local codes restrict the use of sanitary sewer for
disposal. Consult your local building and zoning departments
to ensure compliance in your area.

Field Connected Water Piping cont.
Earth Coupled Systems with Flow Center
Once piping is completed between the unit, flow center
and the earth loop, final purging and charging of the loop
is needed. A flush cart (at least a 1.5 HP or 1.12 kW pump)
is needed to achieve adequate flow velocity in the loop to
purge air and dirt particles from the loop itself. Antifreeze
solution is used in most areas to prevent freezing. Maintain
the pH in the 7.6-8.2 range for final charging.
Flush the system adequately to remove as much air as
possible. Then, pressurize the loop to a static pressure of
50-75 psi [345-517 kPa]. This is normally adequate for good
system operation. Ensure that the flow center provides
adequate flow through the unit by checking pressure drop
across the heat exchanger and by comparing it to the
figures shown in the Pressure Drop tables. Usually, 3 GPM/
ton [0.054 L/s/kW] L/s/kW or minimum 2.25 GPM/ton
[0.04 L/s/kW] of cooling capacity is needed in closed loop
earth-coupled applications
Potable Water Systems
The NSW018 and NSW025 models can be equipped to
provide domestic hot water generation. An optional
factory-installed hot water generator coil may be provided
with the NSW040, NSW050, NSW060, and NSW075 to
assist with this process.

Hot Water Generator Connections
The heat reclaiming hot water generator coil is vented double-
wall copper construction and is suitable for potable water. To
maximize the benefits of the hot water generator a minimum
50-gallon water heater is recommended. For higher demand
applications, use an 80-gallon water heater as shown below or
two 50-gallon water heaters connected in a series. A geo storage
tank should not be used in this application unless it is plumbed
in a series with an electric water heater. The geo storage tank
is equipped with a single 4500 Watt element and will not be
able to provide adequate water heating if used as a standalone
water heater. Electric water heaters are recommended. Make
sure all local electrical and plumbing codes are met for installing
a hot water generator. The Envision NSW is not supplied with
an internal circulator. A DPK5 kit will need to be purchased to
connect to the hot water generator. The DPK5 kit is supplied with
installation instructions, circulator, tank adaptor and temperature
limit switch. Be sure to burp (vent) the pump. Open the screw
2 turns only in the end of the pump motor (if Grundfos
are used) to allow trapped air to be discharged and to ensure the
motor housing has been flooded.

NSW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Hydronic Section
General guidelines are shown below for component
selection and design/installation criteria for the piping
system. Local codes supersede any recommendations in
this manual.
Shut Off/Flow Regulation Valves
Use full port ball valves or gate valves for component
isolation. If valves are going to be used frequently, ball
valves are recommended. Globe valves are designed for flow
regulation. Always install globe valves in the correct direction
(fluid should enter through the lower body chamber).
Check valves
Swing check valves must be installed in the horizontal
position with the bonnet of the valve upright. Spring check
valves can be mounted in any position. A flow check valve
is required to prevent thermo-siphoning (or gravity flow)
when the circulator pump is off or when there are two
circulators on the same system.
Storage (Buffer) Tank
A buffer tank is required for all hydronic heating systems
using Envision NSW heat pumps. The tank should be sized
to provide 2 gallons of storage capacity for every one
thousand Btuh’s of nominal heat pump capacity.
Pressure Relief Valve
Most codes require the use of a pressure relief valve if a
closed loop heat source can be isolated by valves. Even
if local code does not require this device, WaterFurnace
recommends its installation. If the pressure relief valve in
the buffer tank is not already rated at 30 psi (207 kPa)
maximum pressure, one must be installed. The pressure
relief valve should be tested at start up for operation. Note
that the waste pipe must be at least the same diameter
as the valve outlet (never reduce), and valves may not be
added to this pipe. The bottom of the pipe must terminate
at least 6” (15 cm) above the floor. If the piping is connected
to a drain, there must be an air gap.
0 psi (0 kPa), potentially causing pumps(s) failure. A valve
should be installed on each side of the pressure reducing
valve for servicing. Both valves should have tags reading
“Do not shut this valve under normal operation – service
valve only.”
Expansion Tanks
Expansion tanks are required on hydronic systems to help
absorb the pressure swings as the temperature in the
system fluctuates.
Elbows/Tees
Long radius elbows or two 45° elbows will lower pressure
drop. Standard tees have a greater restriction on the “T”
portion than tees designed with angled outlet ports.
Antifreeze
Antifreeze is required if any of the piping system is located
in areas subject to freezing.
Dielectric Unions
Dielectric unions are recommended whenever connecting
two dissimilar metals to one and other to prevent electrogalvanic corrosion.
When using the various types of hydronic heat distribution
systems, the temperature limits of the geothermal system
must be a major consideration. In new construction, the
distribution system can easily be designed with the
temperature limits in mind. In retrofits, care must be
taken to address the operating temperature limits of the
existing distribution system. The maximum storage tank
temperature for the Envision NSW is 130°F (54.4°C). Typical
in floor radiant systems require much lower temperatures,
typically 100°-115°F, which is ideal for the Envision NSW.
Backflow Prevention Check Valves
Most codes require backflow prevention check valves.
Note that a single check valve is not equal to a backflow
prevention check valve. Even if local code does not require
this device, WaterFurnace recommends its installation. This
is particularly important if the system will use antifreeze.
Pressure Reducing Valves or Feed Water Valves
This valve lowers the pressure from the make-up water line
to the system. Most are adjustable and directional. A “fast
fill” valve is required for initial filling of the system. Some
have screens, which must be cleaned after the initial filling.
If there is a restriction in the screen, the system could go to

Accessories and Options
Water Connection Kits (Field Installed)
Water connection kits have been designed to facilitate load-
side and loop-side water connections.
Earth Loop Pump Kit (Field Installed)
A specially designed one or two-pump module provides all
liquid flow, fill and connection requirements for independent
single unit systems (230/60/1 only). The one-pump module
is capable of 20 feet of head at 16.0 GPM, while the twopump module is capable of 40 feet of head at 16.0 GPM.
Hot Water Generator (Factory Installed, NSW040,
NSW050, NSW060, and NSW075 Only)
An optional heat reclaiming hot water generator coil
constructed of vented double-wall copper construction
suitable for potable water is available. The coil is factory
mounted inside the unit. A DPK5 pump kit is required (field
installed), which includes a DHW tank connection and a
temperature limit pump shutoff.
Load-side Pump Kit (Field Installed)
Four (4) load pump kits are available to provide all liquid
flow requirements for independent single unit systems
(230/60/1 only). WaterFurnace part number 24P501A04
(Grundfos UP15-42B7) and EWPK2 (Grundfos UP26-64BF)
are bronze body pumps. Bronze body pumps should be
used when water conditions exist that are not compatible
with cast iron or for applications such as domestic water
heating. WaterFurnace part number EWPK1 and EWPK3
come with a cast iron body pump (Grundfos UP26-99F)
that can be used for hydronic heating applications.
Calculate the system pressure drop then refer to the
pump curves to select the proper pump. All four of the
WaterFurnace pump kits can be used for hydronic heating
applications as long as they meet the flow requirements. If the
flow requirements are outside the pump curve, an alternate
pump will need to be obtained to maintain the necessary flow.
IntelliStart
®
The optional IntelliStart single phase soft starter will reduce
the normal start current (LRA) by 60-70%. This allows the
heat pump to go off-grid. Using IntelliStart also provides a
substantial reduction in light flicker, reduces start-up noise,
and improves the compressor’s start behavior. IntelliStart is
available in a field retrofit kit (WaterFurnace part number
IS60RKL or IS60RKS) or as a factory installed option for all
Envision and Synergy3D units.

To relocate the control box, follow the procedures below.
1. Remove all power sources to the unit.
2. Remove the unit’s top panel.
3. Cut all plastic wire ties to the following: a) High pressure switch (black wires)
b) Low pressure switch (blue wires)
c) Freeze sensing (yellow wires)
d) Load temperature sensor (black wires)
e) Compressor wires
4. Remove the four screws from the control box.
5. Relocate the control box to opposite end of the unit.
6. Using the screws removed in step 4 above, reattach the
control box.
7. Secure all wires so they do not come in contact with
refrigerant lines.
8. Replace the top of the unit.
9. Replace both access panels.
10. Reapply power sources.
NOTE: If geothermal storage tank is used, connect yellow
thermistor wires from the bottom access panel of the tank
to spade connectors 3 and 4 on the terminal block.

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

NSW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Before Powering Unit
Check the following:
• High voltage wiring is correct and matches the nameplate.
• Fuses, breakers and wire size are correct.
• Piping is completed and water system has been cleaned
and flushed.
• Air is purged from the closed loop system.
• Isolation valves are open and loop water control valves or
loop pumps are wired.
• Service/access panels are in place.
Primary Unit Startup
1. Apply power to the unit. Upon power up, the unit will
display the current operation mode.
• H for dedicated heating.
• C for dedicated cooling.
• U for reversible units.
2. Press the mode button. The LED screen will display the
current entering water temperature. The load pump will
activate after a 5 minute delay.
3. Once the load pump has been active for 3 minutes, the
controller will sample the temperature of the water
system. In heating mode, when the temperature of the
water shown on the display is lower than the set point
the compressor will activate.
4. By using a pressure gauge and the P/T ports, check the
pressure drop through both the load and source coaxes.
Compare this to the capacity tables in the specification
catalog to verify the proper flow rate through the unit.
5. Verify that the compressor, load side and source side
pumps are operating.
6. After determining the flow rates, use a thermometer and
the PT ports to determine the change in temperature on
both the load and source side coaxes.
7.
Compute the formula GPM flow rate X Change in
temperature X 500 (485 on source side if antifreeze/brine
is used in the loop) = Heat of Extraction on the source
side in heating, Heat of Rejection on the source side in
cooling. To ensure proper operation, compare these
values to the capacity tables in the specification catalog.
8. Press the down arrow on the keypad to reduce the
set point below the incoming load temperature.
Compressor should shut off and the load pump should
shut off 30 seconds after the compressor.
9. Wait 7 minutes. The load pump should start to sample
load temperature.
10. Compressor and source side circulator should not start.
11. Press the up arrow on the keypad to increase the
set point to 5 degrees above the water temperature
displayed on the LED screen.
12. Three minutes after the load pump activates, the
compressor and source pump should activate.
Secondary Unit Startup
1. Apply power to the unit.
2. After a three to five-minute delay, the water temperature
shall be sampled. If the controller receives a remote
aquastat signal, the compressor shall activate.
3. Verify that the compressor and load side, source side
pumps are running.
4. By using a pressure gauge and the PT ports, check
the pressure drop through both the load and source
coaxes, and compare this to the capacity tables in the
specification catalog to verify the proper flow rate
through the unit.
5. After determining the flow rates, use a thermometer and
the PT ports to determine the change in temperature on
both the load and source side coaxes.
6. Compute the formula GPM flow rate X Change in
temperature X 500 (485 on source side if antifreeze
is used in the loop) = Heat of Extraction on the source
side in heating, Heat of rejection on the source side in
cooling. To ensure proper operation, compare these
values to the capacity tables in the specification catalog.
7. Press the down arrow on the control to disrupt the
remote aquastat signal. Unit should shut off.
8. Instruct the owner or operator about the correct control
and system operation.

NSW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Standard Board - Control Features
Anti Short Cycle Time
The anti short cycle time consists of a three minute
minimum “off” time plus a randomly chosen 0-2 minute
additional “off” delay. The random delay is chosen by the
control after each compressor shut down. The 3-5 minute
startup delay is applied after all compressor shutdowns and
also to system startups due to ac power interruption.
Safety Controls
The control board receives separate signals for a high
pressure switch for safety, low pressure switch to prevent
loss of charge damage, and a low suction temperature for
freeze detection. Upon a 30-second measurement of the
fault (immediate for high pressure), compressor operation is
suspended and the fault will be shown on the display.
Setpoint Temperature Ranges
In Primary mode, the heating temperature setpoint range
is adjustable from 60°F (15.5°C) to 130°F (54.4°C) with
an adjustable deadband range of 1° - 15°F. The cooling
setpoint temperature is adjustable from 25° (-3.9°C) to 85°F
(29.4°C) with a fixed non-adjustable deadband of 5°F.
Load Pump Control
There are two options for controlling the load pump, Pump
Sampling (PS) or Continuous Pump (C), and these are
selectable in the service Menu.
Pump Sampling (PS)
In Primary Mode, the control operates on a 10 minute
sample cycle in which the load pump is turned on and
run to obtain a meaningful sample of the temperature
the load is presenting. If the water temperature
measured after the pump has been on for PS minutes
(selected and adjusted from the Service Menu) is
outside the user selectable deadband amount, dB
(also selected and adjusted from the Service Menu),
the compressor is turned on and Heating or Cooling
is initiated. If the water temperature is within the
deadband of the set point when sampled, the pump
shuts off and is idle for (10 – PS) minutes when it starts
another PS minute sample period. For example, if
the PS setting is two minutes, the pump will run for 2
minutes before sampling the load temperature. If the
water temperature is within the selected dead band
temperature of the set point, the pump will shut off
for 10 – 2 = 8 minutes before beginning another pump
sampling cycle. Heating deadband is selectable in the
Service Menu while the Cooling deadband is nonadjustable and fixed at 5°F.
Continuous Pump Mode (C)
If continuous pump mode (PS=C In Service Menu) is
selected, the control will respond immediately to a
recognized call or termination of call for heat or cool
subject to minimum run times and anti short cycle delays.
Test Mode
Connection of a jumper wire from chassis ground to P3
will place the control in the test mode. This shortens most
timing delays for faster troubleshooting. In the Primary
Mode the control will respond immediately if a demand
is present. The anti-short cycle delay is replaced by a
10 second pump and compressor on delay. Minimum
compressor run time becomes 15 seconds. Test mode will
remain in effect for a maximum of 15 minutes at any one
time should the jumper remain in place.
Fault Conditions
There are two classes of faults, retry faults and no retry
faults. Retry faults allow the system to try 2 additional times
to establish operation before displaying the fault condition
and entering lockout. No-Retry Faults prevent compressor
operation for the duration of the fault. If the fault activity
ceases while the system is inactive, the fault code is cleared
from the display and operation is permitted.
Retry Faults
High pressure, low pressure and freeze detection
faults are retried twice before locking the unit out and
displaying the fault condition.
High Pressure (HP)
Compressor operation will be disabled immediately
when the normally closed high-pressure switch is
opened momentarily (set at 600 psi). The LED display
shall read “HP” only when the control has completed
two retries, and is in lockout. The pump continues to
operate throughout the retry period.
Low Pressure (LP)
Compressor operation will be disabled when the
normally closed low-pressure switch (set at 40 psi)
has opened for 30 continuous seconds (if the bypass
period has been satisfied). The Low Pressure switch is
bypassed (ignored) for two minutes after startup. The
LED display shall read “LP” only when the control has
completed two retries, and is in lockout. The pump
continues to operate throughout the retry period.
Freeze Detection (FP)
Compressor and loop pumps will be disabled if the
control senses that the refrigerant loop temperature
drops below the FP value (set in the service menu) for
30 continuous seconds (if the bypass period has been
satisfied). If the compressor and the loop pump outputs
are disabled because of this condition, the LED display
shall read “FP.” There is a two (2) minute by-pass timer
for the freeze detection at compressor start up.
No-Retry Faults
High Temperature, Water Temperature Probe Open,
Water Temperature Probe Closed and Brown Out faults
prevent compressor operation for the duration of the
28

NSW INSTALLATION MANUAL
fault. If the fault activity ceases while the system is
inactive, the fault code is cleared from the display and
operation is permitted.
High Temperature
Compressor operation will be disabled when the control
senses an entering load side water temperature of 130°
F regardless of mode.
Water Temperature Probe Open (PO)
Compressor and pump operation will be disabled when
the control senses that the water probe is open or has
infinite resistance. The LED display shall read “PO.”
Water Temperature Probe Closed (HC)
Compressor and pump operation will be disabled when
the control senses that the water probe is closed or has
no resistance. The LED display shall read “HC.”
Freeze Detection Probe Open (dO)
Compressor and pump operation will be disabled when
the control senses that the freeze detection probe is
open or has infinite resistance. The LED display shall
read “dO.”
Freeze Detection Probe Closed (dC)
Compressor and pump operation will be disabled
when the control senses that the freeze detection
probe is closed or has no resistance. The LED display
shall read “dC.”
Brown-Out (B0)
All operation will be disabled when the control voltage
falls below 18VAC for 10-15 continuous seconds.
Resetting Lockouts
To reset any lockout condition, place the unit into the
standby mode for at least 5 seconds. After the lockout
has been reset, the fault display will be turned off. Cycling
control power will also clear the display. Non-Retry Faults
must be cleared for the display and lockout to clear.
Power Down (power outage)
The controller will store its Service Menu settings and
current Mode selection in non-volatile memory so that these
settings are retained through any power outage. Current
operating conditions are not stored and the controller must
evaluate its current conditions.

FX10 Advanced Control Overview
• The Johnson Controls FX10 board is specifically designed
for commercial heat pumps and provides control of the
entire unit as well as input ports for Open N2, LonTalk,
BACnet (MS/TP @ 19,200 Baud Rate) communication
protocols as well as an input port for a user interface.
The user interface can be used to aid in diagnostics and
unit setup and is optional on all NSW units. A 16-pin low
voltage terminal board provides terminals for common
field connections. The FX10 Control provides:
• Operational sequencing
• High and low-pressure switch monitoring
• General lockout
• Freeze Detection Temperature Sensing
• Lockout mode control
• Emergency shutdown mode
• Random start and short cycle protection
Short Cycle Protection
Allows a minimum compressor “off” time of five minutes
and a minimum “on” time of two minutes.
Random Start
A delay of 1 to 120 seconds is generated after each powerup to prevent simultaneous startup of all units within a
building after the release from an unoccupied cycle or
power loss.
Emergency Shutdown
A field-applied dry contact can be used to place the control
into emergency shutdown mode. During this mode, all
outputs on the board are disabled.

FX10 Microprocessor and BAS System
The FX10 is a microprocessor based control that not
only monitors and controls the heat pump but also can
communicate any of this information back to the building
automation system (BAS). This means that not only does
the control monitor the heat pump at the unit you can also
monitor and control many of the features over the BAS.
This clearly puts the FX10 in a class of its own.
The control will enumerate all fault conditions (HP, LP,
LOC, and Freeze Detection) over a BAS as well as display
them on a medium user interface (MUI). HP, LP, and Freeze
Detection faults can all be reset over a BAS. A Loss Of
Charge fault can not be reset or bypassed until the problem
has been corrected. A MUI is invaluable as a service tool for
the building service team.
The unit can be commanded to run by applying Y1, Y2, and
O commands to the terminal board or commanded through
a BAS. The control board is wired with quick connect
harnesses for easy field change out of a faulty control
board. An alarm history can be viewed through the MUI and
will be held in memory until the unit is power cycled.
The FX10 control has unused analog and digital inputs for
field installed items such as water temperature or current
status switches. The control has unused binary and PWM
outputs that can be commanded over the BAS for field use.
A Medium User Interface (MUI) for control setup and
advanced diagnostics is standard on all NSW units.
DDC Operation and Connection
Other optional network protocol boards that can be added
to the FX10 are:
• Johnson Control N2
• LonWorks
• BACnet
- MS/TP @ 19,200 Baud rate
- Limit devices to 40 on a single trunk line.

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

NSW Freeze Detection
The freeze detection sensor will monitor the liquid
refrigerant temperature entering the water coil in the
heating mode. If the temperature drops below the freeze
detection trip point for the recognition delay period, the
condition will be recognized as a fault. The freeze detection
trip point will be factory set for 30°F and will be field
selectable for 15°F by removing a jumper wire on BI-4
for the source and BI-5 for the load. The freeze detection
fault condition will be bypassed for 2 minutes at normal
compressor startup to allow the refrigeration circuit to
stabilize. If the freeze detection sensor becomes unreliable
at any time compressor operation will immediately be
suspended until the problem is corrected. This will be
displayed as an alarm on the BAS and the MUI. This alarm
will be reported as “Water Low Temp Limit”.
High Pressure
The high-pressure switch shall be a normally closed (NC)
switch that monitors the systems refrigerant pressure. If
the input senses the high-pressure switch is open it must
disable the compressor output immediately and count the
fault. The compressor minimum on time does not apply if
the high-pressure switch opens. The compressor will not
restart until the compressor short cycle time delay has
been satisfied.
Low Pressure
The low-pressure switch shall be a normally closed (NC)
switch that monitors the systems refrigerant pressure.
The input shall be checked 5 seconds before compressor
start up and then ignored for the first 2 minutes after the
compressor output (BO-2) is enabled. If the switch is open
continuously for 30 seconds during compressor operation
the compressor output (BO-2) will be disabled. The
compressor will not restart until the compressor short cycle
time delay has been satisfied.
Alarm Outputs
The alarm output will be enabled when the control is in the
lockout mode and will be disabled when the lockout is reset.
Test Mode
By holding the ESC and down arrow keys on the MUI for 5
seconds will put the control into test mode. In test mode
the random start delay and the compressor fixed on delay
time will both be shortened to 5 seconds and the reversing
valve will be allowed to cycle without shutting down the
compressor. If an MUI is connected to the control LED 8 will
flash and the words “Test Mode Enabled” will be shown on
the LCD display when the control is in test mode. Test mode
will be disabled after a power cycle, 30 minute timeout, or
by holding the ESC and Up arrow keys on the MUI.
Sequence of Operation
Power Fail Restart
When the controller is first powered up, the outputs will
be disabled for a random start delay. The delay is provided
to prevent simultaneous starting of multiple heat pumps.
Once the timer expires, the controller will operate normally.
Random Start Delay
This delay will be used after every power failure, as well as
the first time the compressor is started after the control
exits the unoccupied mode or the emergency shutdown
mode. The delay should not be less than 1 second and not
longer than 120 seconds. If the control is in test mode the
random start delay will be shortened to 5 seconds.
Compressor Minimum On Delay
The compressor minimum on delay will ensure that the
compressor output is enabled for a minimum of two (2)
minutes each time the compressor output is enabled. This
will apply in every instance except in the event the high
pressure switch is tripped or emergency shutdown then the
compressor output will be disabled immediately.
Compressor Minimum Off Delay Time
The compressor minimum time delay will ensure that the
compressor output will not be enabled for a minimum
of five (5) minutes after it is disabled. This allows for
the system refrigerant pressures to equalize after the
compressor is disabled.
Heating Cycle
The control will run the unit in heating mode when there is
no command on the O/B terminal on the terminal board.
Cooling Cycle
The control will run the unit in cooling mode when there is
a command on the O/B terminal on the terminal board.
MUI Alarm History Reporting
If a fault occurs the fault will be recorded in history for
display on the medium user interface in the History Menu.
Each fault type will be displayed in the history menu with
a number between 0 and 3. A reading of 3+ will mean that
fault has occurred more than three times in the past. The
history menu can be cleared with a power cycle only. Alarm
date and time are not included in the history.

NOTES: Minimum/maximum limits are only for start-up
conditions, and are meant for bringing the space up to
occupancy temperature. Units are not designed to operate
at the minimum/maximum conditions on a regular basis.
The operating limits are dependant upon three primary
factors: 1) entering source temperature, 2) entering load
temperature, and 3) flow rate (gpm). When any of the
factors are at the minimum or maximum levels, the other
two factors must be at the normal level for proper and
reliable unit operation. Consult the Capacity Tables for each
model to determine allowable normal operating conditions.
Units are not designed for outdoor installation.
CoolingHeating
°F°C°F°C
Heating with High Source Temperatures
Heating water with a water to water unit using high source
temperatures can lead to operating conditions that fall
outside of the system operating range. The condition occurs
when the loop (source) temperature exceeds 70°F [21.1°C]
with a full flow of 3 GPM per ton [0.054 LPS per kW].
Under this scenario, the evaporating temperature can fall
outside of the compressor operating window.
To allow the system to operate correctly, restricting the
source side flow when the evaporating temperature
exceeds 55°F [12.7°C] is recommended. One way of
accomplishing this is to use a flow-restricting valve on the
source loop circuit that is controlled by the evaporating
temperature. Locate the sensing device on the refrigerant
inlet of the evaporator.
As an alternative to the evaporating temperature, the
suction line temperature can be monitored with the same
control capability. In this control, temperature should be a
maximum of 65°F [18.3°C].
NOTE: Resistance listed are for single phase compressors.

Antifreeze Correction Example
Antifreeze solution is propylene glycol 20% by weight for the source and methanol 10% for the load. Determine the
corrected heating at 30°F source and 80°F load as well as pressure drop at 30°F for an Envision Series NSW050. Also,
determine the corrected cooling at 90°F source and 50°F load.
The corrected heating capacity at 30°F/80°F would be:
46,700 MBTUH x 0.913 x 0.985 = 41,998 MBTUH
The corrected cooling capacity at 90°F/50°F would be:
44,200 x 0.969 x 0.962 = 41,202 MBTUH
The corrected pressure drop at 30°F and 15 GPM would be:
5.2 psi x 1.270 = 6.60 psi

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

Troubleshooting cont.
NSW INSTALLATION MANUAL
Troubleshooting Controls
Check the unit. If a lockout mode is displayed, refer to the
table below to determine the meaning of the failure. Follow
the procedure listed to correct the problem.
Check the mode:
1. If the unit is running on the internal aquastat, verify the
unit is in “Primary” mode. The SL should be set to 0 in
the setup menu.
2. If the unit is running on an external aquastat, the SL
should be set to 1.
Check the jumpers on the control board:
1. Refer to the Control Board with Jumper illustration in
the Converting to a Dedicated Cooling Unit section to
see the location of the jumper on the board. If the unit is
a heating only unit, the jumper should be across 1 and 2.
2. If the unit is a cooling only unit, the jumper should be
across 2 and 3.
3. If the unit is a reversible unit, the jumper should be
across 3 and 4.
Check the thermistor calibration:
1. Using a thermometer in the P/T port, check the
incoming water temperature.

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