Troubleshooting Modulating Water
Line Control Board
The Bard QW*S3D Series is equipped with a water
line control board. The TACO 3-way valve adjustment,
conducted by the TACO iSeries Smart Actuator, is
generated through the water line control board. The
temperature measurement from the sensor located
in the blower outlet sends the resistance to the
board. The board will forward the resistance reading
through the SU and SC terminals when the unit is in
dehumidification mode, allowing for the appropriate
water flow adjustment to achieve the intended
temperature.
For board troubleshooting, a truth table is suppled
below (see Table 16).
See page 41 for the modulating water line control
sequence of operation.

TABLE 16
Modulating Water Line Control Board Logic
NOTE
When a "Y" signal becomes active during a dehumidification cycle, the "Y" signal will have a
75-second time delay before "YO" becomes active. If at any point during the 75-second delay a
"D" call is no longer required, there will be a 55-second OFF time delay on the "D" terminal. The
55-second OFF time delay runs in parallel with the 75-second delay and will end if the 75-second
time delay is removed. This is done to prevent an incidental compressor time delays and to allow the
iSmart Actuator time to open up valve to water flow for normal operation.
* Not a designed operation mode. If there is a TWV input to the modulating water line control board without
a "D" call, the valve/actuator combination will continue to modulate, causing a fault with the flow switch.
Troubleshooting should start by referencing the dehumidification relay logic board (Bard P/N 8201-133). See
Table 11 on page 53.
