| Variable sequential start-up function : when the system is first energised, or after a power cut, or after opening and closing the "CLK" contact, a random time delay of 0 to 30 seconds is introduced by the electronic board to prevent the water source heat pumps from all starting up simultaneously, thus avoiding a power surge. Emergency shut-down / stand-by / night setback : the electronic board has two "CLK" terminals which shut the unit down immediately. By incorporating an area thermostat in series, the "CLK" contact can also be used as a night setback and the water source heat pump will start up again as soon as the ambient temperature drops below the set point of the setback thermostat. Anti-freeze safety function : this is provided by two temperature sensors. In cooling mode an "ICT" temperature sensor located in the finned coil protects the water source heat pump against accidental freezing. In heating mode, the safety function is provided by an "LWT" minimum water outlet temperature sensor. The anti-freeze fault read by the temperature sensor is displayed by a coded signal on the LED of the RCL remote control. The automatic reset LP pressure switch completes the anti-freeze safety function by monitoring a minimum acceptable suction pressure to ensure correct operation of the compressor. This LP fault is also displayed by a coded signal on the LED of the RCL remote control. High temperature safety function : the "ICT & LWT" temperature sensors check that the condensation temperature at the finned coil and the water temperature at the outlet of the water/refrigerant heat exchanger do not exceed the authorised limits. The manual reset HP pressure switch completes the high temperature safety function. The high temperature safety fault read by the ICT and LWT sensors and the HP pressure switch cut-off is displayed by a coded signal on the LED of the RCL remote control. Condensate drain pan fluid level safety function : the STORM electronic board permanently monitors the water level in the condensate drain pan, by means of a float type contact switch. If the water reaches an abnormally high level, the machine is switched to safety mode and the fault is displayed by a coded signal on the LED of the RCL remote control. Fault reports : the electronic regulation carried out by the STORM board uses coded signals to remotely report eight different possible machine faults on the display LED of the RCL remote control : - HP pressure switch tripped, - LP pressure switch tripped, - fan motor ipsothermal fault, - heating mode anti-freeze fault, - minimum water temperature limit in heating or cooling mode, - maximum water temperature limit in heating or cooling mode, - cooling mode anti-freeze fault, - condensate drain pan high level safety fault. The STORM electronic board also enables the general machine fault to be sent to a remote fault relay via a dry contact (optional). |
