The status of the following parameters is displayed:<br />

Parameter Description<br />

Supply Voltage The USHS auto detects the supply voltage<br />

and is shown. The voltages that can be<br />

detected are 12VDC, 24VDC and 24VAC.<br />

Refrigerant The refrigerant selected in the setting tab<br />

is also shown.<br />

Measured Pressure<br />

(Gauge)<br />

Measured<br />

Temperature<br />

The measured pressure at the exit of the<br />

evaporator where the USHS is located.<br />

Measures external temperature at the<br />

evaporator exit.<br />

Calculated <strong>Superheat</strong> Real-time calculated superheat value<br />

Alarm Lists any fault condition in the system (for<br />

example: High Input Voltage). It will be<br />

blank if there are no faults detected.<br />

Unit Information The unit information is displayed at the<br />

top of the screen. It consists of<br />

Manufacturer ID, Unit Version and<br />

Firmware version.<br />

RECORD STATUS DATA<br />

To begin logging system data from the USHS, complete the<br />

following steps:<br />

1. From the Status Refresh Frequency in Sec drop-down<br />

list, select the required status refresh frequency. The<br />

USHS displays and records data as selected refresh<br />

frequency. The impact of this selection impacts three<br />

things<br />

i. Status screen refresh<br />

ii. Frequency of the data recorded<br />

iii. Frequency of the data points shown on the<br />

run-time generated plot.<br />

2. Click Record Status Data button to save the Status<br />

details to a file.<br />

3. Select a File path to select the location of the file<br />

4. Enter the File name<br />

5. Click Open to begin logging data.<br />

Universal SuperHeat Sensor |<strong>Software</strong> Interface Guide Rev 2.2<br />

6. The logged data will be saved in text format. The data is<br />

always recorded in US units only.<br />

The units selected on the status screen do not<br />

impact the data collection units.<br />

The data file displays the USHS unit information, auto detected<br />

voltage, refrigerant setting, run-time data, time and all the items on<br />

the status screen at intervals based on the selected Status Refresh<br />

Frequency.<br />

Data recording will not occur while a message<br />

box is open.<br />

If the Refrigerant Setting tab is selected while<br />

data is recording, a message box will appear<br />

prompting the user to stop recording data.<br />

Click OK. Then click the Recording Data button to stop recording data.<br />

The Refrigerant Setting will now be accessible.<br />

The Refrigerant Setting may now be changed. To resume recording<br />

data, click Record Status Data.<br />

A new file must be created for the newly selected<br />

refrigerant. If an existing file is selected, the USHS<br />

Interface will check the refrigerant setting in that file<br />

to ensure that the selected refrigerant matches.<br />

If the refrigerant settings do not match, a Check<br />

Refrigerant message box will appear.<br />
