  • Page 5: General Information

    1. General information Thank you for purchasing an ecoSMART e-source source manager with your ecoGEO HP heat pump. 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.

  • Page 6: Maintenance

     The power supply to the unit must have an external switch that can shut off all the circuits. Ecoforest recommends installing an automatic external switch for each of the electrical power sources (power DANGER! supply of the e-source manager and power supply of devices controlled by its DO digital outputs).

  • Page 7: General Description

    2. General description The ecoSMART source manager is an electronic controller designed to manage several brine energy sources, such as geothermal circuits or antifreeze/air aerothermal units. It can work with a single ecoGEO HP heat pump or with a cascade of several ecoGEO HP heat pumps controlled by an ecoSMART supervisor module.

  • Page 15: Power Supply

    Digital outputs to relay (DOxx) The relay terminal block provides digital outputs to control external equipment, such as circulator pumps, fans or open/closed valves. Each relay should be powered externally with the operating voltage of the component to be controlled. Power is supplied to each relay separately, so different operating voltages can be used in each.
