Aurora ‘Advanced’ Control Features
The Aurora ‘Advanced’
Control system expands on
the capability of the Aurora
‘Base’ Control (ABC)
by adding the Aurora
Expansion Board (AXB).
All of the preceding
features of the Aurora
‘Base’ Control are included.
The following control
description is of the
additional features and
capability of the Aurora
advanced control.
It is highly recommended the
installing/servicing contractor obtain
an Aurora Interface and Diagnostic
Tool (AID) and specialized training
before attempting to install or service
an Aurora ‘Advanced’ control system.
The additional AXB features include the following:
AXB DIP Switch
DIP 1 - ID
: This is the AXB ModBus ID and should always
read On.
DIP 2 & 3 - Future Use
DIP 4 & 5 - Accessory Relay2
: A second, DIP configurable,
accessory relay is provided that can be cycled with the
compressor 1 or 2 , blower, or the Dehumidifier (DH)
input. This is to complement the Accessory 1 Relay on
the ABC board.

Variable Speed Pump
This input and output are provided to drive and monitor
a variable speed pump. The VS pump output is a PWM
signal to drive the variable speed pump. The minimum and
maximum level are set using the AID Tool. 75% and 100%
are the default settings respectively. The VS data input
allows a separate PWM signal to return from the pump
giving fault and performance information. Fault received
from the variable speed pump will be displayed as E16.
With single speed equipment both min & max should be set
to the same value.
Modulating Water Valve
This output is provided to drive a modulating water valve.
Through advanced design the 0-10VDC valve can be
driven directly from the VS pump output. The minimum
and maximum level are set in the same way as the VS
pump using the AID Tool. 75% and 100% are the default
settings respectively. With single speed equipment both
min & max should be set to the same value.
Compressor Monitoring
The AXB includes two current transducers to monitor the
compressor current and starting characteristics. Open
circuits or welded contactor faults will be detected. A fault
will produce an E10 code.
If the E10 fault code is due to the thermal overload on the
compressor being tripped. Ensure adequate water flow
on both the load and source side of the unit and review
the unit operating envelope. If the unit is operating in the
"Sensitive Operating Range", as shown in the OptiHeat
Installation Manual, you may need to adjust the leaving load
temperatures.
Loop Pump Linking
This input and output are provided so that two units can be
linked together with a common flow center. When either unit
has a call for loop pump, both unit’s loop pump relays and
variable speed pumps are energized. The flow center then can
simply be wired to either unit. The output from one unit should
be routed to the input of the other. If daisy chained up to 16
heat pumps can be wired and linked together in this fashion.
Advanced Communication Ports
Communication ports P6 and P8 will provide future
expansion via dedicated protocols. These are for future use.
Smart Grid-On Peak (SG) Input
The 'On Peak' input was designed to allow utilities to
utilize simple radio controlled switches to control the On
Electric Peak behavior of the 5 and 7 Series Geothermal
Heat Pumps. With a closed contact signal, this input will
limit the operation and thus the power consumption of the
unit by one of the below selections. The AID Tool will allow
configuration of this input for the action of:
• No Action
• Disable compressor operation until removed
• Go to On Peak thermostat settings until removed
[Requires Com T-Stat] (Future Release)
• Compressor limited to 50% or low cap until removed
[dual capacity or variable speed only] (Future Release)
• Disable compressor operation for 1/2 hr (can be
removed immediately) (Future Release)
Then Flash Code 7 on the Green LED for the 'On Peak' mode.
And On Peak will display on communicating thermostats.
