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 C1050 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 network 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. Figure 3 - Addressing Dipswitches...
The C1050 Heatpump Controller has 2 separate communication ports offering varying functionality based on whether or it is a heatpump standalone controller (HPS) or not (HP).

Inputs Analog Input The C1050 series controllers are equipped with three general purpose analog inputs. These inputs can be configured to receive signals of the following types: • Thermistor (Ω) • 0-5V • 4 -20mA • 0-10V When a thermistor is used, the thermistor must be 10KΩ TYPE 3.
Occupancy Mode (Night Setback) Temperature setback savings can be obtained by using a dry contact originating from an external timer to switch the controller from occupied to unoccupied mode. The timer contact used must be connected to the "OCC" and the "GND" terminals.
Dry Contact for Alarm Signal The C1050 has an analog input which can be designated as an alarm signal input. Please refer to Figure 9 to see how to correctly connect it. To signal an alarm, the contact must be closed. Closing this contact will prevent the use of the com- pressors, either in heating or cooling.
The C1050 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 C1050 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. The common for all inputs and outputs is the same as the power source’s common.
