My wife and I are in the process finalizing our contract and signing the paperwork for our new Geo system. My question is does the thermostat that comes with this unit monitor everything like compressor current, EWT/LWT, EAT/LAT, and the hot water generator temps? Or is this something that only the Aurora (AID) tool can do?
Thermostat (the color touchscreen one) shows energy monitoring but the other things you are listing only the aid tool shows. Waterfurnace will come out with a web based monitoring system very soon, where you should be able to see the other things on your computer screen.
Be sure you spent the extra $250 and get it with the Aurora Performance and Refrigeration package . I will not sell a series 5 or 7 without it..its comes standard on our contracts and I do not offer a deduct if they do not want it.
Dito. No unit without Aurora Performance and Refrigeration package. I also refuse to put a unit in without it.
Refrigerant Monitoring (Standard on all 7 Series units) The optional Refrigerant Monitoring Kit includes two pressure transducers, and three temperature sensors, heating liquid line, suction temperature and existing cooling liquid line (FP1). These sensors allow the measurement of discharge and suction pressures, suction and liquid line temperatures as well as superheat and subcooling. This information will only be displayed on the AID Tool. Performance Monitoring (Optional sensor kit) The optional Performance Monitoring Kit includes three temperature sensors, entering and leaving water, leaving air temperature and a water flow rate sensor. With this kit heat of extraction and rejection will be calculated. This requires configuration using the AID Tool for selection of water or antifreeze.
