Driving Greater System Efficiency & Heat Pump Performance

Heat pumps are reshaping the HVAC industry, placing new demands on equipment manufacturers to deliver greater efficiency, more precise control, and reliable operation across a wider range of conditions. 

Keeping Pace with Evolving Efficiency Demands

As heat pump adoption grows, manufacturers are expected to provide equipment that balances comfort, efficiency, and serviceability. Systems must coordinate compressors, reversing valves, fan speeds, and supplemental electric heat while remaining easy to install and maintain.

Managing Multiple Operating Modes

Unlike conventional systems, heat pumps switch between heating and cooling throughout the year. Control boards must reliably manage reversing valve operation, fan control, and auxiliary heating without adding unnecessary complexity to the equipment design.

Delivering Consistent Occupant Comfort

Occupants expect stable temperatures regardless of outdoor conditions. Manufacturers need controls capable of coordinating multiple outputs and responding accurately to changing building loads.

Integrating with Modern Building Systems

Many projects now require connected controls alongside traditional installations. Supporting both conventional and networked applications can create unnecessary complexity when multiple control platforms are required.

Preparing Equipment for Long-Term Service

Heat pumps are long-term investments. OEMs need control solutions that technicians can quickly understand, troubleshoot, and support years after installation.

Omachron® Controls Board Capabilities

RS-485 or 7-Wire Control Options

One Platform, Multiple Applications

Omachron® offers both conventional 7-wire 24VAC and RS-485 serial control options, allowing manufacturers to standardize across a wide range of heat pump products and project requirements. 

EC Motor & 0-10VDC Control

Responsive Room-by-Room Comfort

RS-485 + Integrated ERV models support 0-10VDC EC motor control, allowing manufacturers to deliver improved airflow management and efficiency in variable operating conditions.

Reversing Valve & E-Heat Outputs

Built for Heat Pump Operation

Dedicated W/Y valve, Y valve, and E-Heat outputs support the operating requirements commonly found in heat pump equipment. Manufacturers can incorporate heating, cooling, and supplemental electric heat control using a single board platform. 

Freeze & Equipment Protection Inputs

Protection Beyond Temperature Control

Flood, float, freeze, and aquastat inputs help manufacturers build safeguards directly into their equipment. When operating conditions change unexpectedly, the board can respond before minor issues become costly service calls.

Meeting Performance Standards In Heat Pump Applications

Heat pump manufacturers need more than basic HVAC controls. They need a platform that simplifies product development while supporting evolving performance expectations.

Designed for Electrification Projects

Heat pumps continue to replace traditional heating technologies in many applications. Our control boards provide the flexibility needed to support modern HVAC designs without requiring entirely new control architectures.

Modern High-Rise Buildings

Simplified Product Standardization

Rather than maintaining separate control strategies across product lines, manufacturers can leverage the same Omachron® Controls board family across conventional fan coil, heat pump, and ERV-equipped systems. Our control board line up includes four compatible control board configurations.

Modern Office Building

Ready for Today's Installations

Whether a project requires conventional thermostat control or networked communications, manufacturers can deliver a familiar installation experience while maintaining flexibility for future building requirements. The boards are also Intertek certified and UL 94V-0 flame retardant certified.
