WH and WV Series water-source heat pumps can be controlled
with the Pioneer Gold Controller.
The Water-Source Heat Pump (WSHP) Pioneer Gold Controller
contains all the functionality required to operate basic and

WH and WV Series WSHP
units. The controller can operate with a standard heat pump room
thermostat (by others) or can operate as a Stand-Alone system
with the Pioneer Gold Touchscreen Space and Humidity Sensor
or Simple Space Temperature Sensor.
The controller also contains a terminal block for communication
to the Pioneer Gold Electric Heat Board for additional heat stages.
NOTE: If the application currently uses an obsolete
mercury bulb type thermostat, it must be upgraded
to an electronic thermostat. The unit will not
function properly when controlled via a mercury

The controller has outputs to control a supply fan, compressor, and
reversing valve. It also provides I/O for additional functionality.
The Pioneer Gold is used for Constant Volume applications.
