This action may cause personal injury or have adverse effects on the installation process if V e r s i o n 2 . 5 0 The HBX CPU-0500 is a microprocessor based handled incorrectly. controller and as such is not to be regarded as a safety (limit) control.
As a Mixing Control, the CPU-0500 has the capability to run a single On/Off or modulating boiler. Mixing types include Modulating Mixing, PMIp or Floating Action. Boiler Control The use of the CPU-0500 as a Boiler Control allows the capability to run up to two On/Off boilers, or a single modulating boiler with DHW requirements. Differential Setpoint Control The CPU-0500, when selected as a Setpoint Control, will allow for Dual or Differential Setpoint requirements.
Supply Power 120 VAC Installation The CPU-0500 is designed to be wall mounted, DIN rail mounted or installed in a separate electrical enclosure. The unit should be mounted inside and protected from falling water and high humidity conditions. With all the covers in place it is designed to protect any individual from accidental electrical shock.
PROGRAMING MULTICOLOUR BACKLIT DISPLAY The Multicolour Backlit Display is one of the key features of the HBX Controls stand-alone CPU-0500 Control. Depending on which mode of operation is selected the screen colour will change to indicate information about the status of the system.
There are 2 modes for the control, programming and status screens. The programming screen is identified by the SET icon on the top/middle left corner. The status screen is indicated by the STATUS icon the top/middle left corner. CPU-0500 Input: 120VAC 60Hz 10A Output: 4-20mA/1-10V 1 10V...
The programming instructions for the CPU-0500 are broken down into the five control modes listed below. When the control is first plugged in you are asked to select which control mode you would like your CPU-0500 to operate in. To select your control mode simply turn the dial to the left or right to select the correct mode then wait five seconds to accept your selection.
REPROGRAMMING THE CONTROL To reprogram the control for a different mode simply unplug the control and wait ten seconds before plugging the control back in. This will allow you to manually select a different mode for the control. The control will not reset to factory defaults.
► MIXING CONTROL PROGRAMMING Design Boiler Temperature This is the design boiler temperature. It is used in the outdoor reset design calculation and is 190.0 also the maximum setting for the boiler. (50°F to 200°F) Default: 190°F Boiler Temp Design Low Temperature System Temperature This is the design low temperature system temperature.

► DIFFERENTIAL SETPOINT PROGRAMMING Celsius & Fahrenheit Use this setting to change the display format from °C to °F. °F (°C/°F) Default: °F Setpoint 1 Differential This setting is used to set the differential between setpoint 2 temperature and setpoint 1 10.0 temperature.
Eg.) 6°F differential would be 3°F above and 3°F below. Diff Cold Weather Shut Down This setting is used to set the temperature at which the CPU-0500 will go into CWSD. Below 75.0 °F this temperature the system will not allow the control to instigate cooling mode.

Backup Differential This setting can be used with the USE Backup Temperature or on its own to bring the backup 20.0 °F on. This setting is used to set a differential on the tank at which you would like the backup to come on.
► PUMP SEQUENCER Sequence Time This setting is used to set the rotation time for the pumps. 72.0 (OFF/1 to 480 hours) Default: 72 hours Time System Sequence Cycle This setting is used to set the # of demands that are given before the pumps will rotate. (OFF or up to 500 rotations) Default: OFF Eg.) set to 20.
