Yes, the Occupancy contact on the Polar Air PHW-V-AECM Series can be used to control the unit's power via BMS I/O. The contact is a voltage-free (NC) digital input, meaning it can be controlled by an external system such as a Building Management System (BMS). To set it up, configure the contact as NO or NC as required by the BMS and connect it accordingly. When the contact is activated, it will turn the unit ON or OFF based on the setup.

Page 14 Mounting Plate Dimensions (*All dimensions are approximate within 1/16 of an inch of those indicated) Mounting Plate Installation 1. Select the structural position (e.g. a pillar or lintel) on the wall. 2. Temporarily fasten the mounting plate on the wall with a steel nail. 3. Mount the mounting plate horizontally as shown in the above figure or by means of level. Failure to follow this may cause water to drip indoors and create atypical noise. 4. Fix the mounting plate by means of expansion screws or tapping screws. PG2024 NA_PHW‐V/P‐AECM‐001 ...
Page 15 Condensate Drainage Hole Drilling 1. Ensure that the hole for condensate drainage is correctly positioned. The height should be lower than the bottom edge of the indoor unit. 2. Drill a 65mm diameter hole with a descending slope. 3. Seal it off with putty after installation. CAUTION: Care must be taken when handling sheet metal.

Page 16 Hydronic Unit Installation 1. Pass the piping through the hole in the wall and hook the indoor unit on the mounting plate by the upper hooks. 2. Move the body of the unit from side to side to verify if it is securely fixed. 3. While pushing the unit toward the wall, lift it slightly from beneath to hook it up on the mounting plate by the lower hooks. 4. Make sure the unit firmly rests on the hooks of the mounting plate. Drainage Piping Works 1. Install the drain hose so that it slopes downward slightly for free drainage. Avoid installing it as shown in the below illustrations marked with an “X”. 2. Put water in the drain pan and make sure that the water drains outdoors. 3. If the flexible drain hose provided with the indoor unit is not long enough, please extend it by joining it to an extension hose (not provided). Be sure to insulate the connecting part of the extension drain hose with a shield pipe as shown. 4. If the attached drain hose passes through an indoor area, insulate it with heat insulation material. CAUTION: Care must be taken when handling sheet metal. Sheet metal parts have sharp edges and could cause injury. ...

Maintenance Opening and Closing Of Lift‐Up Grille Cover Open the grille cover by lifting from the bottom position Close the grille cover by pressing down at the positions indicated by the arrows. indicated by the arrows. Front Cover Assembly Removal 1. Set the horizontal louver to the horizontal position. 2. Remove the screw caps below the louver, and then remove the mounting screws (red circles in below picture). 3. Open the lift‐up grille cover by grasping the panel at both sides as shown above. 4. Remove the remaining screws located in the center of the front cover. 5. Grasp the lower part of the front cover and pull the entire assembly out and up towards you. Air Vent and Water Purge Valves 1. After connecting the water inlet and outlet pipes to the main supply lines turn on the main breaker and operate the unit in COOLING mode. 2. Open the water inlet valve and flood the coil. 3. Check all connections for water leakage. If no leak is found, open the purging valve with an open‐end wrench while supporting the unit with your other hand. Then purge the air trapped inside the coil. When performing this activity, take care not to touch the electrical parts. 4. Close the purging valve when no bubbles appear. 5.

Page 38 Control Logics UNIT POWER ON/OFF The unit is turned ON when any of the fan speed inputs (H/M/L) are ON, or modulating signal input is more than 2.0VDC or Motor RPM writing (MS30006) is above 200RPM. The unit is turned OFF only if all of the fan speed inputs (H/M/L) are OFF and modulating signal input is less than 2.0VDC and Motor RPM writing (MS30006) is 0; ALARM PROTECTION AND ERROR DISPLAY If the float switch is open for 5 minutes or EC motor fails, then the (NC) voltage‐free alarm contact shall be open and the (NO) voltage free alarm contact shall be closed. If the float switch is open for 10 minutes or EC motor fails, the LED display reports a condensate management failure (see table on the next page). LOUVER CONTROL FOR W1 When the unit is OFF, the louvers are closed. When the unit turns ON, the louvers open at optimum angle. When the unit turns OFF, the louvers return to a closed position (100º against the vertical). MODULATING SIGNAL INPUT The standard configuration is for 0~5VDC modulating signal input. The optional configuration is for 0~10VDC modulating signal. To set the PCB to the optional configuration, the S1 jumper must be closed. ELECTRICAL HEATER OPERATION After unit is turned ON, EH relay will be ON when EH signal is powered ON and EC motor RPM>300. If EC motor fails or EC motor RPM is lower than 300 RPM, EH relay is opened at once. LOW TEMPERATURE PROTECTION OF INDOOR COIL IN WINTER When MS30012=0, the function is able; When MS30012=1, the function is disable; This is frost protection for when the unit is off to prevent water in the coil and room from freezing.

Do you have a question about the PHW-V-AECM Series and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Can the Occupancy contact be used to turn the unit on and off via BMS I/O? And what set-up is required?
Yes, the Occupancy contact on the Polar Air PHW-V-AECM Series can be used to control the unit's power via BMS I/O. The contact is a voltage-free (NC) digital input, meaning it can be controlled by an external system such as a Building Management System (BMS). To set it up, configure the contact as NO or NC as required by the BMS and connect it accordingly. When the contact is activated, it will turn the unit ON or OFF based on the setup.
