Controls - FX10 (optional)
Optional FX10 Microprocessor
and BAS Interface
The FX10 is a microprocessor based control that not only monitors
and controls the heat pump but also can communicate any of this
information back to the building automation system (BAS). This
means that not only does the control monitor the heat pump at the
unit you can also monitor and control many the features over the
BAS. This clearly puts the FX10 in a class of its own.
The control will enumerate all fault conditions (HP, LP, CO, LOC,
and Freeze Detection) over a BAS as well as display them on a
medium user interface (MUI). HP, LP, CO and Freeze Detection
faults can all be reset over a BAS. A Loss Of Charge fault can not
be reset or bypassed until the problem has been corrected. A MUI
is invaluable as a service tool for the building service team.
The unit can be commanded to run by a typical heat pump
thermostat or run based on heating and cooling set points supplied
by a BAS. The control board is wired with quick connect harnesses
for easy field change out of a bad control board. All ECM variable
blower speed settings can be changed over a BAS or with a MUI.
The control has an input programmed to enable field installed
emergency heat in the event that the compressor is locked out.
This input can also be commanded on from a BAS as needed.
An alarm history can be viewed through the MUI and will be held
in memory until the unit is power cycled. Relative humidity can
be read by a 0-5VDC humidity sensor that is displayed over the
network. If you are using an ECM blower motor the control can
enable dehumidification mode based on a set point in the control.
The dehumidification set point itself can also be changed over a
BAS or with a MUI. Dehumidification mode can also be enabled by
the BAS. Because the FX10 is not factory configured to read CO
2
levels, contact the factory for application assistance.
The FX10 control has unused analog and digital inputs for field
installed items such as air temperature, water temperature, CO
2
or
current status switches. The control has unused binary and PWM
outputs that can be commanded over the BAS for field use.
An optional Medium User Interface (MUI) for control setup and
advanced diagnostics is available with some mounting kits, MUIK3
- Panel mount version and the MUIK4-Wall mount version.
Zone Sensors
There are two options for zone sensors that can be used with the
FX10 control. Both sensors use a Johnson controls A99 positive
temperature coefficient type sensor. The TAXXJ02 has a set point
adjustment now which will give the end user a +/- 5°F adjustment
from the set point as well as a push button that can be used
for temporary occupancy. The control leaves the factory set to
operate with a TAXXJ02 sensor and can be changed to read the
TAXXA04 sensor through a building automation system or with a
user interface.

Control and Safety Feature Details
Emergency Shutdown
The emergency shutdown mode can be activated by a command
from a facility management system or a closed contact on BI-2.
The default state for the emergency shutdown data point is off.
When the emergency shutdown mode is activated, all outputs will
be turned off immediately and will remain off until the emergency
shutdown mode is de-activated. The first time the compressor
starts after the emergency shutdown mode has been de-activated,
there will be a random start delay present.
