It uses PI (Proportional-Integral) control loops and acts as a master when used on a network with Prolon zone controllers. The Standalone model of this controller will not act as a master to other Prolon zone controllers, relying instead on the demand provided by a local sensor.
Operating Sequence General The Prolon C1000 Heatpump controller receives readings from three different temperature sensors: outside air, return air and supply air. Also, as a Master device, it receives data from the zone controllers or thermostats sent on the net- work bus.

The example in Figure 1 shows the switches 1, 2 and 4 in the ON position. Therefore, the corresponding values are 1, 2 and 8, giving an address sum of 11. The Prolon network allows a maximum of 127 addresses, therefore 127 controllers.

Inputs Temperature Sensors he C1000 Heatpump controller has three analog inputs that monitor outside air, return air and supply air temperatures (see Figure 2) and will integrate these readings into its control sequence. The sensors used are standard 10k type 3 thermistors that share a single common connection.
Proof of Fan The C1000 has a digital input that can be used to receive the proof of fan signal. Please refer to Figure 9 to see how to correctly connect it. To indicate proof of fan, the contact must be closed. NOTE: This input can instead be used as an occupancy contact input, depending on the software configuration.
The C1000 Heatpump controller contains 5 customizable outputs, 4 being Triac type switch outputs and one being 0-10Vdc analog modulating / pulsed / On-or-Off output. Some outputs are configurable and follow a proportional and integral algorithm (PI) to ensure precise adjustment of the device. Output configuration is performed via the Prolon Focus software.
Typical Connection of the Triac Outputs 1 Through 4 On the C1000 Heatpump controller, all triac outputs must be set to SOURCE mode because they all share a single source supply: the equipment’s transformer. All triac outputs have a SOURCE / SINK configuration switch; they must be set to “SWITCH”...
Power Source The Prolon controller is powered by the HVAC equipment’s 24 VAC supply by connecting the common or ’’C’’ wire to the "COM" terminal and the live or ‘’R’’ wire to the "24 VAC" terminal (see Figure 13). The common for all inputs and outputs is the same as the power source’s common.
