5 SERIES OPTIHEAT 504W11 INSTALLATION MANUAL

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.
