| Overview
The HyperStat Heat Pump Unit (HPU) is profile introduced by ClimaVision to provide a zone level control using the HyperStat thermostat. Heat pump units are used in buildings in regions that could experience extreme weather and require more heating during times. The heat pump unit is capable enough to provide necessary heating and cooling to the space, efficiently conserving energy. The heat pump unit consists of the compressor with refrigerant, a reversing valve, a fan, and Auxiliary heating equipment that provides the required conditioning.
| How it Works.
The ClimaVision HyperStat Heat Pump Unit is a unique profile, that provides both heating and cooling conditioning.
Based on whether the unit is in the heating operation or cooling operation the reversing valve is set to reverse the direction of the flow of the refrigerant switching the condenser and the evaporator coil of the system to provide the necessary conditioning.
The reheat capability is enabled with the auxiliary heating stages which only gets triggered during the Auto and Heat Only mode when the compressor-provided heat is not sufficient (where additional heat is required).
The HyperStat Heat Pump Unit (HPU) provides the flexibility to choose between fully modulating and staged equipment control. The possible equipment configurations include:
- 3- Stage Compressor Control
- 2- Stage auxiliary heating control
- 3- Stage Fan Speed Control
- Changeover (Type O or Type B)
- 1 Thermistor inputs
- Fan Enabled and Occupied Enable
Additional interlock inputs are provided for door/window/keycard sensors/transformers. Onboard sensors for CO2 and humidity provide separate damper control for DCV or humidification/dehumidification.

Test Signal
This is used for troubleshooting and testing the equipment if the configuration and the field setup are in sync, and the device is communicating properly with the controlled equipment. Also at any point, you can override the value of the output the algorithm decides.
We can use the test signal for relays to turn them on or for analog out to ramp up and see if the equipment works according to commands from the device.
Test Signal Time Out
once enabled it will be active for an hour if the screen is not changed, after an hour of no interaction on the screen. zone screen displays and the test signal will be OFF.
If the screen changes from the test signal configuration screen it will be timed out in one minute (time for the algorithm to run next).
Note: The test signal for modulating output is in deci volts ranging from 0.0dV to 100.0dV.
| Configuration Restrictions & Nuances
Below are pointers to be paid attention to, while configuring a Heat Pump Unit (HPU) profile:
- Fan Enabled is not a control option for enabling conditioning. The fan stages control needs to be mapped separately for the system to start conditioning.
- A change over relay mapping for heating or cooling is a must in an Heat Pump Unit (HPU) profile configuration.
- Any one of the relays will have to be enabled as a change-over relay, to activate the reversing valve for cooling/heating.
- When a profile configuration is concluded without configuring a changeover relay mapping an error message will pop up as below.
- More than one changeover relay can be mapped in a configuration.
- But once a changeover relay type is selected for a relay, only the selected type is available in the drop-down to configure for other relays as below.
You can see in the above screen, the changeover type that is not selected is disabled in the drop-down.
- Only one type of change over relay per profile is supported.
| Configuration Concluded
Considering the Auto-Away and Auto Occupied toggle is enabled, the following are the relay mapping options available to select.
It is to be noted that additional parameters are made available, only when DCV Damper is one of the Analog Outputs. The parameters for the same are discussed below.
| Parameter | Purpose | Default Value | Values in Drop Down |
| Analog Out at Min DCV Damper | To set the minimum analog out value for modulating DCV Damper Control | 2V | Range from 0V to 10V in 1V increments. |
| Analog Out at Max DCV Damper | To set the maximum analog out values for modulating DCV Damper Control | 10V | Range from 0V to 10V in 1V increments. |
| CO2 Damper Opening Rate | To set damper opening rate based on the CO2 Thresholds | 10% | Range from 0% to 200% in 10% increments. |
The configuration also provides an option to disable the targets and thresholds for the IAQ parameters CO2, VOC, and PM2.5as below. Scroll further to view all the drop-down values under the CO2 Threshold and CO2 Target values.
At least two of the parameters need to be enabled for viewing in the HyperStat device display, else a warning message pops up to indicate the same.
- Click Set to confirm the parameters configured.
| Post Configuration
The zone paired with the Heat Pump Unit (HPU) profile is displayed in the CCU as below.
Below are widgets configured in the heatmap pages in the portals.
The user is also provided with profile reconfiguration options from the Internal portal as shown below, with all the features and capabilities that were available in CCU as explained in the above sections.
| Modes & Operations
As in the other HyperStat profiles, the Heat Pump Unit (HPU) profile as well supports the following fan and conditioning modes.
Fan Modes
- Off
- Auto
- Fan Low Current Occupied Period
- Fan Low Occupied Period
- Fan Low All Times
- Fan Medium Current Occupied Period
- Fan Medium Occupied Period
- Fan Medium All Times
- Fan High Current Occupied Period
- Fan High Occupied Period
- Fan High All Time
Based on the fan stages configured in the configuration window, the fan stages are made available in CCU and the portal for selection as user intents.
Note: The HyperStat hardware supports only the following fan modes at its end,
And when a change is made, it would translate to the following in the CCU.
- Auto------ Auto
- Low------Fan Low Current Occupied Period
- Medium-------Fan Medium Current Occupied Period
- High-------Fan High Current Occupied Period
Conditioning Modes
- Off
- Auto
- Cool Only
- Heat Only
The conditioning modes are also made available in CCU and the portal for selection as user intents.
| Controls and Triggers Strategy
| Controls | Trigger Strategy |
| Compressor stages | Compressor stages trigger during both heating and cooling based on the zone demands. When zone demands cooling the compressor stages trigger is determined based on the cooling loop output. And when the zone demands Heating the compressor stages trigger is determined based on the Heating loop output. |
| Auxiliary Heating Stages |
Auxiliary heating stages are triggered based on the below scenarios.
|
| Fan Stages |
Fan stages trigger based on the fan loop output which is a result of cooling loop or heating loop outputs, during cooling and heating operation respectively. Fan control (for user intent) is configured as modulating using analog out the percentages for the low, medium, and high are altered to 70% 80%, and 100% respectively. Fan stages during the aux heating are driven by aux heat stages, but along with the actual scaled fan stage, the lower stages are also triggered. Higher stages of the fan along with the lower ones run if the mapped stages are not available, the system looks for the next higher fan stage along with the lower stages of fan speeds. |
| Change Over Relay Operation |
A relay mapped to the heating change (indoor unit favoring reverse) valve is activated when the zone is demanding heating, during heating operation, and there is a heating loop output, and the relay is deactivated otherwise. A relay mapped to the cooling change (outdoor unit favoring reverse) valve is activated when the zone is demanding cooling, during cooling operation, and there is a cooling loop output, and the relay is deactivated otherwise. |
| Fan Enable |
Fan enable is a provision introduced to enable additional fan control, which switches "ON" during the occupied schedule, and when any conditioning is happening during the unoccupied schedule. Example:
Note: Fan Enabled is not a control option for the Fan stages. the fan stages control needs to be mapped separately for the system to start conditioning. |
| Occupied Enable | A relay mapped to Occupied Enable is "ON" whenever the zone is in an occupied schedule and "OFF" when any conditioning happens during an unoccupied schedule. |
| Humidifier |
A Relay mapped to the humidifier is turned on whenever the humidity level for the CPU drops below the target Minimum Inside Humidity, a tuner value. And shows the user a target humidity control in Zone Screen on CCU and Facilisight apps. |
| De Humidifier |
A Relay mapped to the dehumidifier is turned on whenever the humidity level for the CPU goes above the target Minimum Inside Humidity, a tuner value. And shows the user a target humidity control in Zone Screen on CCU and Facilisight apps.
|
| Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) |
The DCV control is used to control an independent damper for the ventilation of air into the zone. based on the following additional parameters set during configuration.
This allows for very granular control of the IAQ. It is driven or triggered by the DCV Loop Output which is a resultant of the above-configured parameters. Example: During an occupied time If the Zone CO2 value > zoneCO2Threshold then DCV damper control triggers based on the DCV loop output. If the Zone CO2 value < zoneCO2Threshold there will be no DCV damper trigger, and the relay will be set to OFF. |
| Door/Window Sensing |
The door/window sensors are used to automatically override the operation of a zone, for the presence of doors and windows in the zone, Where the door/window can be opened and there can be a loss of the actual conditioning that is in effect. When the door/window sensor is a part of the Thermistor IN, a resistance is detected, based on which the zone operations are overridden.
When the door/window sensor is a part of the Analog IN, a Voltage is detected, based on which the zone operations are overridden.
For more information on the door and window sensor working refer HyperStat Installation Note: If this option is enabled by the user, this affects the conditioning status of the entire zone if multiple modules are paired in the zone.
|
| Keycard Sensor |
The Keycard sensors are also used to automatically override the operation of a zone, where when the key card is removed from the keycard slot in a room/zone, which means the occupant of the room is no longer in the room leading to loss of the actual conditioning that is in effect. Up to one keycard sensor can be connected for a zone. When the Keycard sensor is a part of the Analog IN, a Voltage is detected, based on which the zone operations are overridden.
For more information on the keycard sensor working refer HyperStat Installation Note: Keycard functioning is separate from the "Auto Away" toggle. There is no interlinking between keycard-based functioning and Occupancy sensor-based functioning.
|
|
Current Transformer |
Current transformer is another analog input option in the profiles for HyperStat, it connects to a transformer in the circuit and simply measures the current consumption in the circuit. For more information on the current transformers as Analog IN refer HyperStat Installation |
Note: Each module configured can have up to 2 door/window sensors, but sensor type keycard can only be one for the given equipment. If a keycard is present, the zone is considered occupied by default.
| IAQ Parameters Display Settings in the HyperStat Device
The profile also allows the user to set IAQ parameters that can be displayed in the HyperStat device's home screen.
Note: Only two of the IAQ parameters can be set at a time, to be displayed in the HyperStat device's home screen, or none can be enabled.
Before the parameters are enabled, the HyperStat device screen is showcased, as below:
When parameters are enabled, and thresholds are set, the screen is displayed below:
The enabled parameter values and the threshold breach message are displayed on the HyperStat device's screen as below.
