PSU1
The PSU1 pump sequencing unit is a stand-alone microprocessor-based controller for radiant heating or cooling appli-
cations.
Overview
The PSU1 is a compact, microcontroller-based controller for support of radiant applications with pump sequencing
needs. It controls the pump sequences, rotates and stages the pumps according to the programmed mode, maintains
desired differential temperature (Delta T), and generates flow alarms if no flow is detected.
The controller is based on L
ON
W
ORKS
®
networking technology. The controller can be networked to a higher-level control
system for monitoring and control applications.
Features
• Control of two primary pumps with four control modes
• Standby pump operation with manually selectable lead pump
• Equal runtime operation with adjustable run time
• Two-stage digital control or single-stage modulated control (with digital enable) based on an adjustable primary
loop temperature differential
• Automatic configuration with a Local Control Interface (LCI) touchscreen
• Alarm/Event reporting
• LONWORKS® interface to building automation systems
