Interfacing and Communication
If Modbus communication is not being used, it is necessary to establish interfaces between the EXD-HP1/2 controller and the upper-level system controller. The external digital input should be operated in the function system’s compressor/demand. Ensure that necessary precautions are in place to protect the system.

Operating Conditions
The digital input status for the compressor is as follows:

  • Compressor starts/run: closed (Start)
  • Compressor stops: open (Stop)

Note:
Connecting any EXD-HP1/2 inputs to the supply voltage will permanently damage the EXD-HP1/2.

Electrical Connection and Wiring
When making electrical connections and wiring, follow these instructions:

  • Use a class II category transformer for a 24VAC power supply.
  • Do not ground the 24VAC lines.
  • It is recommended to use individual transformers for the EXD-HP1/2 controller and third-party controllers to avoid possible interference or grounding problems in the power supply.
  • Strip the wire insulation approximately 7 mm at the end.
  • Insert the wires into the terminal block and tighten the screws securely.
  • Ensure that the wires are properly connected and there are no loose connections.

General information

EXD-HP1/2 are stand-alone superheat and or economizer controllers. EXD-HP1 is intended for the operation of one EXM/EXL or EXN valve whereas EXD-HP2 is designed for the operation of two independent EXM/EXL or two EXN valves.

Note:
It is possible to use only Circuit 1 from EXD-HP2. In this case, circuit 2 must be disabled (C2 parameter) and the sensors and the valve for the second circuit are not needed.

ModBus communication is described in a Technical Bulletin and it is not covered by this document.
