System Commissioning with the Harvest Tech App

Section titled “System Commissioning with the Harvest Tech App”

  1. Power on the Harvest Pod.

  2. Connect your phone/tablet/laptop to the Harvest Pod’s WiFi access point

    • The network name (HarvestPodXXXX) and password can be found on the label on the bottom of the Pod
    • Wait at least 5 minutes after powering the pod before attempting to access the Harvest Tech App.

  3. Navigate to “http://harvestpodXXXX.local” using an internet browser, where “XXXX” is the same as the name of the network.

  4. Configure the Internet Connection, and look for a green “Connected” indicator:

  5. Fill in the customer profile and time zone (password can be found on the label on the bottom of the pod):

  6. Setup the pod:

    1. Confirm you have installed the SANCO2 heat pump and the tank
    2. Fill in the correct Optional DX heat pump and Air Handler Protocol
    3. Tap “Apply”

  7. Select the appropriate installed hardware:

    • The generation can be found in the model number shown on the nameplate of the SANCO2.
    • “Number of heat pumps” refers to the number of SANCO2 Heat Pump Water Heaters installed.
    • F-SAN and T-SAN are optional sensors included in the Harvest Cold Weather Kit and/or the Twin SANCO2 Kit.

  8. Check sensors and thermostat for proper function:

    1. Ensure all listed sensors are indicated as “OK”

  9. Test the SANCO2 wiring:

    1. Select “Enable Manual Control”
    2. Toggle the SANCO2 on

    The SANCO2 should turn on, and the power draw should read over 500 W. This will take 3-5 minutes.

  10. Test the hydronic circulator pump to ensure it is fully purged of air:

    1. Ensure Manual Control is enabled.
    2. Enter 40 and select “Start”. The circulator pump inside of the Pod should turn on, and the app should display flow after 1-2 minutes.
    3. If no flow is displayed, check that the loop is fully purged and that all valves are open.

  11. Configure the radiant flow rates:

    Enter home Design Heating Temperature (99% coldest temperature in Farenheit) and heating load at the design temperature (in kBTU/h) in order to configure the hydronic variable heat output.

  12. Configure Energy Harvesting

    1. Select Time of Use Control
    2. Select Utility Rate Schedule based on customers’ current or requested utility rate.
    3. Select “EcoPort is integrated into the pod.”
