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 M2000 Heatpump controller receives readings from three different temperature sensors: outside air, return air and supply air. It operates on a configurable schedule using an internal real-time clock. Also, as a Master device, it receives data from the zone controllers sent on the network bus. The controller then analyzes all the data and demands sent by the zones and commands the appropriate outputs to respond accordingly, within parameters set by the tempe- rature sensors and other safety limits.
Components Component Identification Figure 1 - Component Identification Legend: A - Addressing Dipswitch B - AUTO/OFF/HAND Switches C - RS485 INT port for interface communication (RJ45 plug and screw connectors are in parallel) D - Analog outputs (3) E - Digital outputs (5) F - Analog inputs (9) G - RS485 NET port for network communication H - Terminal block for 24VAC (Class 2 transformer)
When this LED is ON and steady, the M2000 is inactive present on analog output 1. and the microchip is awaiting programming (you must use Prolon’s Focus software to reprogram the microchip). • DO5: Represents the activity of digital output 5. • STAT: Reserved.
• INT: These are the jumpers for the bias and terminating resistors used for the interface communication bus. See the Prolon network guide for information about bias and terminating resistors. (See Figure 5) • NET: These are the jumpers for the bias and terminating resistors used for the network communication bus. See the Prolon network guide for information about bias and terminating resistors.

The example in Figure 9 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 9 - Addressing Dipswitch...
Inputs Temperature Sensors The M2000 Heatpump controller has analog inputs that can monitor supply and return air temperatures, as well as another that can monitor either the outside air or supply water temperature (water-to-air mode only, see figure 10) and will integrate these readings into its control sequence.
Room Sensors The M2000 can receive the setpoint and temperature from a specific room when a PL-RS analog thermostat is connected to it. The M2000 will then automatically integrate this information into its control sequence. The setpoint may also simply be set by software.
Dry Contact for Clogged Filter or Schedule Override Analog input 4 on the M2000 can also be configured as a dry contact input for either a clogged filter sensor or as a schedule override input. Please refer to Figure 13 to see proper connection. •...
Static Pressure and CO2 Analog inputs 8 and 9 on the M2000 heatpump controller are dedicated to the CO2 and static pressure sensors, respec- tively. By default, a 4-20 mA signal is expected for the CO2 input and a 0-5 VDC or 1-5 VDC signal is expected for the static pressure input.
The M2000 Heatpump controller contains 8 customizable outputs; five triac ON/OFF outputs (24VAC) and three analog outputs (0-10VDC). Output configuration is performed via the Prolon Focus software. An integrated resettable fuse protects each of the outputs of the M2000 against current surges and short circuits. This protection will cut the current to the output as soon as an overload condition is detected.
Typical Connection of Triac Outputs 1 to 5 On the M2000 Heatpump controller, all triac outputs produce a 24 VAC live voltage when activated. Note that all output voltages originate from a single voltage supply: the equipment’s transformer. Consequentially, only the live side of the output connections are usually needed;...
Figure 18 - Connecting the 24VAC Power Source Network Communication The Prolon M2000 Heatpump controller is designed to work with the Prolon zone controllers (except Heatpump Standalone controller). When they are networked, the M2000 and zone controllers all communicate in real-time. The network connections are made using the network terminal block located on the M2000 controller (see Figure 19).
