Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual 1. General information Thank you for purchasing an ecoGEO HP heat pump cascade system. This manual contains information about installing, commissioning and troubleshooting the device. There is also useful information for the end user, such how to navigate and adjust parameters via the control panel.
DANGER! Ecoforest recommends installing an automatic external switch for each of the electrical power sources (power supply of the supervisor and power supply of devices controlled by its DO digital outputs).
2. General description The ecoSMART Supervisor is an electronic device designed to manage a cascade of ecoGEOHP heat pumps. It can work with a minimum of 2 heat pumps and a maximum of 6. To do this you must establish pLAN bus communication with all heat pumps.
Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual 3.3. Unpacking To unpack the supervisor, carefully remove the box and check that the unit has not been damaged during transportation. 3.4. Fitting and removing the cover A 4 mm Allen wrench is required to assemble and disassemble the cover. Remove the front cover by loosening the four screws and pulling it.
DANGER! Ecoforest recommends installing an automatic external switch for each of the electrical power sources (power supply of the supervisor and power supply of devices controlled by its DO digital outputs).

Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual The schemes in figures 4.2 and 4.3 are provided only to indicate the electrical connections. The hydraulic design should be carried out by a specialist. Its use in full or in part, as well as any NOTE reproduction or transfer to third parties, is the responsibility of the installation company.

Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual Take special care with the working voltage of each digital input; improper handling could cause poor heat pump operation and/or heat pump component breakdowns. Some digital inputs require NOTE voltage-free signals, while others require 24Vac signals. 24Vac signals are sent from their own terminal block strip.
Page 15
Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual Analogue outputs (AOxx) These terminals send analogue 0-10Vdc regulation signals to modulate the control of pumps and/or fans. Moreover, these connectors have a 24Vac power supply terminal for modulating equipment that requires a 24Vac power supply.
Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual Figure 4.8. Example of digital output relay power supply connections. Each relay allows independent pole switching; it can thus control the switching on/off of the units, including those powered with a different voltage. The capacity of the relays is 8A/250Vac per pole. If the equipment to be controlled exceeds this capacity, an external relay or contactor must be installed.
Figure 4.11. Example pLAN bus communication cable connection for installations with cascade of heat pumps. Some other Ecoforest devices also communicate with each other via their pLAN ports. In any case, all Ecoforest controllers that connect via pLAN will establish a single pLAN network.
Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual 5.1. Control panel The supervisor panel has a screen with 6 buttons, like the one shown in the illustration below. The buttons are used to move through the various user menus and to adjust the parameters.
Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual 5.2. Mainscreen The main screen of the application contains a series of fields with information about heat pump operation. Date and time Status Operation program Operation mode Active components Figure 5.2. Description of the main screen.
Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual 5.4. Mode This field shows the icons that indicate the operating modes that are active. Several operating modes can be viewed simultaneously, depending on the heat pump model and the configuration set up by the technical service.
Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual Apart from the icons that define the operating modes, the following icons can also be found in this field. Operation This indicates thermal energy transfer between circuits. If the icon is shown continuously, this indicates normal heat pump operation.
Supervisor user, installer and technical service manual 5.6. Heatpump status This indicates heat pump availability to service the various heat pump functions. ON status The heat pump is on and available to activate all its functions. ON + EVU status The heat pump is on but the compressor is deactivated by the EVU signal.
