Features
Standard Features
- Robust, microprocessor-based heat-pump controller for maximum application flexibility.
- Relay outputs for Compressor, Compressor Speed, Reversing Valve, Alarm Relay, and two configurable relays.
- Direct communication and control of a Constant Volume (CV) EC blower, internal variable-speed water pump, and modulating water valves.
- Includes an RS-485 communications port for interfacing with communicating thermostats or other controls.
- Operating Environment: -40°F to 176°F (-40°C to 80°C) and up to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
- Power draw: Normally 8VA at 24VAC, Maximum 12VA at 24VAC.
- Safety features including anti-short cycle protection, high pressure cut-out, and loss of charge cut-out.
- Direct control of EC blower and intelligent hot water generator control.
- Configurable inputs and outputs for advanced functions, including night setback and emergency shutdown capability.
- Stores operating conditions history during last five faults and offers possible reasons for faults.

“With our research, ClimateMaster is number one. We don’t have any outside units—you can sit on the back porch without the unit clicking on or the fan running in the summertime. This being my last house, we really checked into geothermal, and it’s been the perfect solution.”
“Now I’ve got a certified home that is 78% more energy efficient than my neighbors and 48% more efficient than new builds on the market today. I’m saving about $1,750 to $1,800 a year, and as a bonus, I get free hot water as a byproduct of my geothermal system. It’s quiet—I can hear my neighbors’ air source heat pumps, but they don’t hear mine.”
“We have geothermal—our neighbors don’t, and I know they wish they did. It’s a clean heat, not as drying to the skin, and you can feel the difference. In 6.3 years, we’ll recoup our investment, and after that, it’s all savings. Just plain facts—it saves money. ClimateMaster was the right choice: professional, customer-oriented, and easy to work with.”
