Hi, thank you for sharing this! Is the cn105 adapter they use straight through to ABCD? Is it the 12V or 5V line? Additional logic inside? I took a risk (knowingly) and bought one of these controllers on ebay which is explicitly arriving without the CN105 to ABCD adapter. (I am familiar with the CN105 serial protocol already however and have a few of my own adapters at home that work with ESP32 devices.)

Now that the R-115S has been discontinued, does anyone else make a relay that would work?

Could this be used for a ducted unit? I haven't seen any reason it couldn't work. My biggest concern is if it actually runs the inverter systems correctly. I need full modulation and already have wired access...Mitsubishi wired is ugly as sin and the MHK2 is battery powered which I'm not that fond of either. If this does the same basic stuff and keeps all the inverter functionality I'd be quite happy. I have the Aidoo Pro for Mitsubishi and it's hot garbage. It turns my variable system into a SINGLE STAGE. Looses connectivity often and therefore loses its setpoint-- heats you out of the house. Talk about a waste of $250.

The system I had it connected to ran normal full modulation when approaching the temperature set-points whether heating or cooling. It is a nice interface but you need to have 4 conductors between the controller in the ducted unit and the temperature controller.

We have a remcom in our house and one of the relays went so i naturally dug into it. One of the wire burnt out so I didn’t think much of it. Then on a complete unrelated rabbit hole I learned about Nitinol. I suspect that’s what the wire is made of but I can’t confirm.

If you have good voltage present at the water heater, check the HTCO in the upper resistance element access area. If this trips it will remove all power from the water heater internally. If that isn't the case, follow the schematic to check for power at the board. If you have power at the board, then you probably need a new control board. Contact Bradford White for parts if you have a GE HPWH.

I ran the diagnostics. This gave me some good information on how much the heater is cooling down the space where it is located. Intake (evaporator inlet) is around 44 degrees in the basement when the heater has been off for an hour or so. When the heat pump is turned on the temperature drops within around 10 minutes to 37 degrees Farenheight. This is in the corner of a 50 degree basement. Outside, the ground is likely to be colder than normal because it got down to 10 degrees last night. (I am guessing that the cold water intake is around 45 degrees in the winter and 60 in the summer, something I should probably measure.) The temperature at T4 goes from 63 (off) to 155/118/113/111 measured every 2 minutes after turn on. That is without any water flowing in the house, and with the heater at its default set point of 120 degrees. This suggests that the air temp in my large "heater closet" will drop into the low to mid 30s. There is air circulation in the room and no door; what is lacking is a space for the cold air to quickly flow away from the heater. The cold air bounces off a partition wall around 6 inches away and then some of that cold, drier air is available to the heat pump intake. What would make a lot of sense in my case is to move the water heater even closer to the partition and then open up a large hole in the wall, about 15x15. Then I could build a single large duct to direct the exhaust air through the wall where it could not interfere with the efficient the operation of the heat pump. This seems like it would even be better than having the heat pump sit in a completely open basement. For now I switched the heater into hybrid mode so that it will be able to keep up with demand in the house. I have a feeling that if I make the change described above I could run it in heat pump mode all winter in my climate (Massachusetts).

what is the best way to measure the current drain of the water heater? would be nice to be able to know if it is sucking up more power than normal. Is there a way to measure without disconnecting the wire?
@dynamicenergysolutions180
@dynamicenergysolutions180 4 жыл бұрын
The best way is to use an inductive current meter or a CT (current transformer) and meter you just put around one of the wires feeding the water heater. There is one internal, but no way to view what it is measuring. Lowes and home depot sell meters with a current clamp you can put around the power wire. For under 20 bucks you can buy from Amazon a "bayite AC 80-260V 100A BYT-VAEM-034 Digital Current Voltage Power Energy Analyzer Meter Ammeter Voltmeter with Open-Close Current Transformer Split Core CT" Search it and you will see it records your usage and is resettable. I have had one of these on our water heater for a few years and set it so when the wattage exceeds 1500 watts it flashes telling me it is using the resistance heating. This is especially handy on newer models which operate the upper lower wattage resistance element along with the compressor. Bradford White bought out GE's HPWH manufacturing and support.
@dynamicenergysolutions180
@dynamicenergysolutions180 4 жыл бұрын
You will see the compressor will consume between 250 to 700 watts, the wattage will be higher when the water is at a higher temperature, and lower when cooler. Keep in mind these units may have a reciprocating or rotary compressor. The rotary compressor is more efficient but makes more noise when operating. With the rotary compresor on startup you will hear a lot of valve noise from the compressor, this noise usually dissipates over the next few minutes but some make the noise constantly. We keep ours set to 140 °F to eliminate the possibility of legionella in the water. Anti scald thermostatic mixing valves should be used at point of use if you operate a domestic water heater above 125 °F.

Fair Warning: Our unit started to break down after a year of use on Hybrid Mode. The Heat Pump no longer works and GE has recused themselves from fixing it. We a weighing our options between just running on electric only mode and getting a repair man to refill the freon and replacing the necessary parts. Wish I would have done more research, this water heater not robust enough for home use.

Matt Foltz - hi Matt, the water heater in this video also failed with a leaking evaporator about a year after this video. I replaced the evaporator under warranty. Bradford White bought GE’s Heat Pump Water Heater line and made a bunch of reliability improvements. Bradford White is also dealing with any GE HPWH warranty or reliability issues. I would recommend getting it fixed and run it. I have an 80 gallon Bradford White Heat Pump Water Heater in our home. It works well and provides a lot of “free” dehumidification and cooling.

I have one also. GE fixed it for free a long time ago. Now having problems again. I found one link online that said to install your own refill port with a needle puncturing kit from amazon and a fill port and apparently they use R-134a refrigerant (same as cars use) and just fill it that way when it is low on refrigerant. They almost always leak because bad evaporators and when repairman fixes it, there still is small leaks in his soldering.

If you look at the link above in the description F9 indicates a failed lower heating element and F10 indicates a failed upper heating element. You most likely need to replace both upper and lower heating elements. Make sure you replace them with elements having the same ratings.

Hi Joshua, I didn't see your comment until now. Usually if you select enter while displaying the upper or lower element you will hear a click and see the state of the output change. Some of the newer models have a power relay that must be turned on before the upper or lower element. It does vary some with your model number. Bradford White also sells a heat pump water heater which is made by GE for Bradford White. The menu is very similar for diagnostics but they have eliminated the high demand hybrid mode.

So one quick clarification. It says if the relays are wired in parallel then they all must be the same type as in solid state or thermal. Is it talking about the low voltage switch circuit or the breaker circuit such as the high voltage circuit. I would think it means two relays wired in parallel on the same switch circuit. I just want to make sure I'm thinking about that in the correct way. Other than that this system is very simple and is basically how you would add a door switch to a closet to turn the light on when it's opened.

Adam Worley Hi Adam, Pleasure to help you, typically the only time relays would be used in parallel is if you plan to switch large loads. And then only the low voltage side is typically paralleled. The relays were typically installed in light fixture metal boxes or separate boxes in the attic or basement. You can switch many incandescent or even more LED lights with a single relay. Very unlikely you will find any relays connected in parallel unless they are installed in a church or other public building switching power for large chandeliers with many high wattage bulbs. In that case each chandelier may have its own relay. Fortunately they are a very safe system. You can have switches near sinks or other water sources and having low voltage isolated from the AC supply is far safer than any GFCI. You never have to worry about getting a shock as long as they are wired properly..
