2.4.2 GEN2 Controller Layout

The GEN2 controller has additional input/output terminals for
expanded capability. It may be expanded with a built-in EVD
driver, used when electronic expansion valve(s) are provided.
The GEN2 controller is shown in Figure 3.

2.4.3 Expansion I/O Modules
The controller's capabilities may be enhanced by the addition
of expansion I/O modules which are DIN rail mounted in the
electric box. They are typically used when selected optional
features are purchased. Expansion I/O modules are used to
enable additional alarms, additional blowers, air speed
monitoring or air pressure monitoring.
2.4.4 Constant Contact UPS Module
An optional Constant Contact UPS module provides short term
power for the controller should there be an interruption to, or
inconsistency with, the main power source. If main power is
lost, the Constant Contact module provides 32 VDC control
power to the controller.
The controller will not have to reboot due to a power
interruption. This allows the controller to continue monitoring
sensor input signals and maintain communications with a BMS
for up to one minute. The Constant Contact module requires
no routine maintenance as there are no batteries that need to
be replaced.

CAUTION
When the power supply to the equipment has been shut off to
service the unit, be aware that the Constant Contact UPS
module in the electric box still contains stored electric power
up to 32 VDC. This voltage will also be present in circuits that
are electrically common to the constant contact module.

2.4.5 EVD Module

An electronic expansion valve (EEV) may be used on certain
compressor-based models. Control of the EEV is
accomplished with an electronic valve driver module (EVD).
The EVD may be a separate expansion module or it may be
incorporated into a GEN2 controller, depending on the I/O
configuration.

may be for any site specific alarm condition the user wishes to
monitor that may or may not be provided in the standard A/C
alarms menu; i.e. gas detection, intrusion alarm, etc. Upon
detection of a customer alarm, the controller will activate the
summary alarm contact and display a screen message indicating
a customer alarm message.

The screen message "Customer Alarm 1" will appear in the

controller display by default or, the user may reconfigure the

3.6.3 Custom Alarms
A custom (user configured) alarm is activated upon detection
of one or more programmed alarm conditions as set by the
operator in the Service>Options>Custom menu (see Section
5.5.7.7.2). When a custom alarm condition is detected, a
summary alarm is signaled and a designated set of N.O. & N.C.
Custom Alarm relay contacts may be energized to provide
remote indication of the specific alarm condition(s).
For example, a custom alarm may be activated when a dirty
filter alarm is detected, giving notice that the air filters need
to be replaced. That way an alert is provided before the filters
are so badly clogged that airflow is reduced to a point where
a "Loss of airflow" alarm is activated.
The controller may be factory configured to activate up to three
custom alarms depending on controller size and the enabled
options. One custom alarm with relay contacts is provided as a
standard and up to 2 additional custom alarms may be provided
as an option.

addressed.
The major exceptions to this are the smoke and remote
shutdown alarms which will cause all three units to shut
down if they occur on any of the main or shadow units.
Major alarms like smoke or remote shutdown will require
a manual restart. The lead unit alarm must be cleared
and the unit started first. This will allow the shadow units
to start after their alarm is cleared and each is manually

Shadow units will use whatever sensor arrangement the

5.2.4 Compressor Status- (DX based systems)
This screen displays the On or Off status icon for the A/C system compressor(s)
and shows the status of the Low Pressure and High Pressures witches (Open or
Closed). The field beneath the status icon indicates if the compressor is in the
“minimum time on” or “minimum time off” delay period. The field at the bottom of
the screen shows the number of compressor starts since power was applied and
the total compressor run-time during the period since the last reset was
performed in the Service>Run Hours menu. If the system has more than one
compressor, similar compressor status display screens are provided for each
compressor.

5.2.4.1 Optional Compressor Status Fields

If the controller is configured for optional High Pressure With Auto Reset (see Section
5.4.1.1), it will be programmed to monitor an analog discharge pressure sensor. With
this option, a restart (Rst) value appears instead of Min Off if the compressor turns off
due to a high discharge pressure condition. The restart value is a countdown timer
showing the compressor minimum off delay time remaining before it is allowed to
restart again.

The controller will also display the current discharge pressure value (Disch). A value
in the field (High Press) indicates how many times the controller has attempted to
restart the compressor after a high pressure shutdown.

From the Control Menu the operator may select from four sub-menus:
Setpoints, Alarm Setpoints, Clock and Version. The controller is programmed
to require level 1 password authorization to enter this menu (see Section 3.2.1).
Once password access is granted, the setpoints controlling the performance
of the unit may be selected and adjusted, alarms may be enabled, alarm
setpoints may be entered and the clock may be set to establish an operating
schedule for the A/C unit.
The Setpoints (SET) screens allow the operator to view and adjust the
temperature and humidity setpoint control parameters and compare them to
system level operating data derived from the various Sensor/Transmitter
inputs. See Section 5.4.1.

The Alarm Setpoints (ALARM SET) screens allow the operator to enable
and adjust the high and low temperature and humidity alarm setpoints and
offsets and compare them to the control setpoints and to the system level
operating data derived from the Sensor/Transmitter inputs. See Section
5.4.2.

The Clock screens allow the operator to view and adjust the current time,
date and day and set-up operating schedule(s) and setpoints for the A/C
system. See Section 5.4.3
Two Version screens are provided for information only. They show controller

If the compressor discharge pressure rises to the limit

value entered, the compressor turns off.

After the compressor minimum off time delay expires,

the controller polls the discharge pressure sensor to
determine if it is safe to start again. If the pressure is
below the high pressure reset minimum (HP Rst Min)
value entered, the compressor restarts.

If the discharge pressure is not below the high pressure

reset minimum value, the compressor remains off.

The controller polls the sensor a total of three times to

attempt to start the compressor, each time following
the compressor minimum off time delay period. If the
discharge pressure is still not below the high pressure
reset minimum value after three attempts, the
compressor is disabled and a high-pressure alarm is
signaled.

This is a critical alarm requiring the controller to be

manually reset by pressing the alarm key on the user

failure will activate the summary alarm output. Upon receiving an alarm indication,
the user may press the alarm key and call up alarm screen messages. The E²
controller may also monitor a customer supplied alarm input device. One set of
Customer Alarm input terminals is standard and up to two more may be added as
an option.

5.5.7.7.1 Customer Alarms

A Customer Alarm input may be used to activate the Summary Alarm relay and show a Customer Alarm message in the alarm
display screen. A Customer Alarm message may simply be displayed as CUSTOMER ALARM # as shown below, press and use
the and arrow keys to construct a specific alpha/numeric message in the line stating the specific alarm condition in their own
terms; for example, GAS DETECTION, INTRUSION ALARM, etc. The Customer Alarm message may be set-up on one line
with up to 20 characters.
Customer Alarm1 Text Customer Alarm3 Text
Customer Alarm2 Text

CUSTOMER ALARM 1 CUSTOMER ALARM 3

CUSTOMER ALARM 2

E² controllers may be equipped with up to 2 additional Customer Alarms as an option.

5.5.7.7.2 Custom Alarms

In addition to the Summary Alarm, the E² controller may activate a Custom Alarm output and energize a designated n.o./n.c. relay.
A custom alarm output is set up by adding the binary bitmask numbers assigned to the specific alarms and signal failures that need
to be monitored and then entering them in the Custom Alarm Setup screen shown below:

65-72: 15 73-80: 0 to 2 additional Custom Alarms as an
option.

The operator can select any mix of the 80 alarm variables as shown in the tables that follow. As an example, for a custom alarm
based only on the occurrence of water detection, condensate pan, pump, failure of the return temperature and humidity sensors
the operator would enter the following bitmask values for the applicable alarm numbers and enter 0 for the rest:
Custom Alarm number 1 - 8: Water detection (No. 7) = 64
Custom Alarm number 9 - 16: Condensate pan (No. 9) + Pump (No. 14) = 33 (1+32)
Custom Alarm number 41- 48: Return temperature (No. 41) + Return humidity (No. 42) = 3 (1+2)
The custom alarms are set up by entering the bitmask totals developed from the following tables.

The damper position is determined by the air temperatures,

but the resultant mixed air dewpoint is also taken into account.
In this example, the ceiling return (room conditions) started at
52.1 degrees dewpoint and the outdoor air is at 50 degrees
dewpoint. The incoming mix is at 51.6 degrees dewpoint. If the
Figure 11 . Example Economizer Zone A/C unit or the overall conditioned space has no mechanism
for humidification, the ceiling return dewpoint will drop which
then causes the mixed dewpoint to drop even lower.
Eventually, the room dewpoint will match the dewpoint of the
outside air. The speed at which the dewpoint drops depends
on the airflow rate and the size of the room.

7.0 COMMUNICATION WITH

THE CONTROLLER
It is possible for the STULZ E2 controller to communicate in
multiple ways. The controller may be set up to use a pLAN
network to link with additional E² controllers to create a work
group consisting of multiple A/C units (see Figure 12 and
Section 7.1).

Using a BMS interface port, the controller may also be

connected to a BMS for monitoring and control of data points
using a multitude of different serial communication protocols
(see Section 7.3).

The second Service>Options>Economizer screen allows the

operator to change the economizer high temperature value
and expand the dewpoint boundaries. The Econ High +DP
and Econ High –DP are offsets from the dewpoint value that
passes through the temperature and humidity setpoint.
7.1 Work Groups
The controller may be networked with a group of A/C unit
controllers via an RS485 connection to manage their outputs
as a system in an N+M (M = number of standby units) group.
The controllers from up to seven additional A/C units may be
tied to a Lead controller. The number of units to be assigned as
Active, Capacity Assist or Standby duty is to configured by the
factory however, they may configured in the field (see Section
7.2.6) with assistance from STULZ Product Support. A unit
may also be designated as "Out of Service" (see Section 7.1.4).

7.2 Setting Up a Work Group

A workgroup can consist of up to eight controllers (I/O boards) with pLAN addresses 1 to 8. Their corresponding display terminals
will be assigned pLAN addresses from 32 down to 25. The E² controller program is defaulted with the controller address set to 1
and its terminal (display) address set to 32. As such, a normal stand-alone controller does not need any changes made to either the
controller or the terminal address. The method to setting up work groups is to retain the first (group lead) controller's pLAN address
as #1 and terminal address as #32 so that the sum of the addresses equals 33. The first controller added to the group is assigned
pLAN address #2 and its terminal is assigned address #31, the sum of which again equals 33.The sum of the controller and
terminal address numbers must always equal 33.
The A/C units in a work group should ALWAYS start with controller address 1 and go up from there. DO NOT skip over controller
addresses. The list of suitable controller/display terminal address pairs is shown below:

Corresponding A/C Unit Controller to Terminal pLAN Addresses

Controller (I/O board) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Display Terminal 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25

Assign the terminal and controller I/O board addresses for each controller to be grouped. Review Sections 7.2.1 to 7.2.3 first,
before turning power on and the assigning addresses. Do not interconnect the controllers together before assigning their terminal
and I/O board pLAN addresses.
The first step is to change the terminal address of each controller to 0 referring to Section 7.2.1. Set the terminal address to 0
before assigning the controller (I/O board) address.
Note: If the terminal remains inactive (no key is pressed) for more than 30 seconds, the group set-up procedure is exited
automatically, without saving any changes. Configure the Terminal Address.

7.2.1 Configure the Terminal Address

The address of the terminal (display) can only be configured if its RJ11 telephone jack is connected to the I/O control module in
the electric box and power is turned on. The factory default value for the display terminal address is 32. To reassign the terminal
address, press and hold the Up, Down and Enter keys simultaneously for five seconds until the Address Configuration screen
shown below appears with the flashing cursor in the top left corner:

1. To change the address of the terminal (Display address setting), press the Enter key
once. The cursor will move to the address field (nn). Display address

The Display Address Changed screen will appear indicating the display address selected
is not the same as the one saved and the new value will be saved to memory.
3. Once the terminal address is set to zero, cycle the power to the unit Off and then back On. Address Configuration
If the Display address setting field is set to 0, the terminal will communicate with the

Next, press the Up , Down and Enter keys simultaneously. Reconfigure the terminal address following the steps in Section again.
This time set the terminal address to match the corresponding controller I/O board address. If the controller is assigned address 2,
then the corresponding terminal address should be set to 31 as shown in the table on the preceding page. If the next controller
is assigned address 3, the corresponding terminal should be set to 30.

After setting the correct terminal address, press the key once to confirm the selection. A message NO LINK will appear. At this
point, the terminal has been set with the correct address for the controller and the controller has been set for the terminal, but now
they need to be assigned to each other.
7.2.3 Assign the Terminal to the Controller
1. Access the Terminal Address Configuration screen again using the Up , Down and Enter keys.

group.
7. The Priv/Shared column indicates the type of terminal. The workgroup is setup using private terminals.
8. Do not change the value (Pr). Press the key to move to the last field
9. Select the field Ok? No, choose Yes using the Up and Down keys and confirm by pressing to save
the data and exit the group set-up procedure.
10. Referring to the wiring diagram provided with the A/C units, interconnect the units together with the pLAN
cable(s) provided.
7.2.4 Fault messages
If the terminal detects the status of the I/O board it is associated with is off-line, the display shows the message:
I/O Board xx fault. If this appears, check the Signal LEDs on the controller (see Figure 3) for an error signal.
See Section 8.4 for guidelines on analyzing the signal LED’s.
On the other hand, if the terminal receives no signal from the network, the display shows the following message:
NO LINK. If this appears, check the pLAN cables and ensure they are connected properly. Also, check the addressing
(refer to Section 7.2).
7.2.5 Displaying the Network Status and Firmware Version
Once each A/C unit is configured with its new controller and terminal pLAN address, the entire network set up may be examined.
Press the group set up keys together as done to access the Address Configuration screen but continue holding after the Address
Configuration screen appears for at least 5 seconds until the Network Status (NetSTAT) screen appears.

1) The multi week basis is selected by setting the number of weeks to a value from 1-99. This will be the number of weeks
between rotations. The next line will show “Day of Week” which may be set to Monday through Sunday. The Hour of the Day is
the hour of the day at which rotation occurs. A setting of 1/Mon/18 will rotate every week on Monday at 6 PM (18:00 hours).
2) The multi day basis is selected by setting the number of weeks to zero and the number of days to one or more. Now the
number of days becomes an elapsed number of days between rotations. The Hour of Day is the hour of the day at which
rotation occurs. A setting of 0/5/6 will rotate every 5 days at 6:00AM.
3) The multi hour basis is selected by setting the number of weeks to zero and the number of days to zero. The rotation will
occur after the number of hours has elapsed. A setting of 0/0/72 would rotate every 72 hours
4) The first two are based on the internal calendar and will survive power losses of the lead unit. If the lead unit is
powered off, the other units will assume temporary roles until the lead unit is powered back up. Upon the lead unit
powering back up, the correct role of each unit is recalculated based on the current calendar date. The hourly
basis is not based on the internal calendar and restarts at zero hours elapsed if the lead unit is powered off and
then back on.

The number shown for unit number 2 is three, the result of adding 1 + 2. This confirms unit number 2's Return Temperature and
Return Humidity sensors are detected by the Lead controller. If a one appeared instead for unit number 2, it would indicate the
signal for the Return Humidity sensor is not present. That sensor is either not enabled or it has failed.

7.3 BMS Communication

When BMS communication is used, the controller must be
equipped with an optional expansion card designed for one
of a variety of serial communication protocols available. A
communication port on the expansion card (see Section 2.2.6)
allows the controller to be field connected to a central Building
Management System (BMS) for monitoring and control of data
points. An RS-485 serial port is for Modbus RTU or BACnet
MS/ TP protocols and a 10BaseT port is available for TCP/IP 7.3.1 Direct BMS Control
