Please carefully read and apply the following information when wiring the unit controller, MHGRVX-A2 and any associated module. The MHGRVX-A2 is housed in a plastic enclosure. It is designed 1. All wiring is to be in accordance with local and national to be mounted by using the three mounting holes in the enclosure electrical codes and specifications.
WIRING MHGRVX-A2 to AAON Unit Controller Wiring Communications Wiring When connected to an AAON unit controller, the Supply Air Temperature Sensor is attached to the AAON unit controller. For connection to a VCCX2 or VCB-X Controller, VCCX2 or See Figure 2, this page.
WIRING MHGRVX-A2 Stand-Alone Wiring Stand-Alone Wiring In Stand-Alone Mode, the MHGRVX-A2 connects to the E-BUS port of the Reheat Expansion Module with an E-BUS cable. See Figure 3, this page. See the SAT Wiring Conditions and SAT OPTIONS Jumper Settings in Tables 8 and 9, page 26.
I/O Map Binary Inputs REHEAT EN: Reheat Enable Contact The following inputs and outputs are available on the MHGRVX-A2. See Table 2, this page to reference the input and outputs. Used only in Stand-Alone Mode. When a call for dehumidification is initiated by another controller, this interlocked 24 VAC wet contact closure is used to enable the MHGRVX-A2.
Reheat Valve is at 100% and the Supply Air Temperature is 5°F below setpoint for one minute. After being off for 10 minutes, it can come back on if the Supply Air Temperature is 5°F above setpoint and the valve is at 0%. MHGRVX-A2 Module Technical Guide...
4. The unit will exit Reheat Mode when the reheat input Modes of Operation is disabled. The expansion modules will do the same. The MHGRVX-A2 can be used in two different modes of operation. 5. Relay Operation These modes behave in a similar manner; the main difference is •...

OPERATION MODES Modes of Operation Communications Operation In this mode, the MHGRVX-A2 behaves as an expansion board for an AAON unit controller. The controller begins the dehumidification process when the AAON unit controller makes a request to the MHGRVX-A2 for dehumidification. At that time, the controller will activate the “FAN”...
On larger systems, where more hot gas reheat capacity may be required, a two-position Hot Gas Reheat Valve can be connected to the MHGRVX-A2 to be used in conjunction with the Modulating Hot Gas Reheat Valve. Any time the reheat demand moves above...
