MultiFlex ESR Molex Connector control. Board (Discontinued) The MultiFlex ESR receives input data from a Copeland E2 controller (via the I/O Network) and then regulates the stepper valves according to the data from the E2. Figure 1-2 - MultiFlex ESR Molex Connector Board Layout -...
Panel Mounting and Heat Dissipation The MultiFlex ESR can generate a substantial amount of heat when it draws up to a maximum of 80 VA during operation. The MultiFlex ESR is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 65°C (150°F); therefore, depending on the size of the enclosure and what other devices are in that enclosure with the MultiFlex ESR, you may need to ventilate the enclosure by installing air circulation fans or other devices to aid in heat dissipation.
A valve cable harness may not be longer than 150 feet. Figure 3-4 - Copeland Flow Valve and Old Board Wiring For retrofits or stepper valve harnesses without a mating molex connector, use the MultiFlex ESR adapter cable (P/N 335-3275). Crimp-type waterproof splices should be used to make the connections.
Setting the Terminating Resistance Jumpers All MultiFlex ESR boards have a set of terminating resistance jumpers (one jumper for each wire lead). These jumpers are labeled JP2, JP3, and JP4 on the MultiFlex ESR board. Set the termination jumpers UP (JP2, JP3, JP4) if at either end of a daisy chain. Otherwise, set jumpers DOWN.
Setting the Network Address and Baud Rate Set the network address on the first five rockers of the dip switch (labeled S1) on the MultiFlex ESR board. Set the network baud rate using rockers 6 and 7. Set the network address using the first 5 rockers of dip switch S1.
Software Overview The MultiFlex ESR board is intended to interface closely with E2’s Standard Circuit application. Once a valve on the MultiFlex ESR board has been associated with a Standard Circuit, the Standard Circuit assumes control of the valve’s position. The Standard Circuit must be specifically configured to control a MultiFlex ESR valve so that the advanced capabilities provided with the MultiFlex ESR will be enabled.
Step 1: Add a MultiFlex ESR A. Add Number of Boards A MultiFlex ESR board must be added to the E2 in the same manner that an 8RO or a 16AI is added in the network setup of the controller. This is done from the Connected I/O screen...

C. Additional Setup Screen: MultiFlex ESR Under the More Setup screen (C0 tab), set the following Table 7-1 - MultiFlex ESR Valve Parameters - E2 More Tab parameters described in Table 7-1. Standard Circuit Valve Description Parameters The minimum percentage the valve can go to during refrigeration control.
Name field. If you wish to assign a MultiFlex ESR boards are added and configured correctly in name to this MultiFlex ESR application, enter it in this field; your Standard Circuit applications. In this step, you must otherwise, move to the Valves Setup screen.

Open Wire alarm - at least one drive winding of the valve is disconnected or has an open coil (no current flow was detected). • Over Current alarm - available if the Valve Mfg field is either set to Copeland Flow or Other, the valve driver is reporting an over current condition possibly caused by a shorted driver winding. NOTE All alarms attempt to auto reset continuously every 10 minutes after the alarm was first detected.
Once the valve has been zeroed, the process will not need to be repeated unless the valve has been replaced or driven open beyond its control range by a device other than the MultiFlex ESR board. Note that if the valve manufacturer (Valve Mfg) is set to Other and the valve harness becomes disconnected while the MultiFlex ESR board is attempting to control, zero the valve after the disconnect is resolved.
