Application (cont.)
Setting up fan group automation
The fan group automation feature lets users automatically maintain optimal fan speed and temperature based on whether it is the
cooling season or the heating season. Automation uses the temperature sensors connected to BAFWorks
®
to monitor the temperature
at the floor and ceiling levels. Based on the temperature readings, the fan group speed is automatically adjusted to maintain the
specified temperature settings.
To set up fan group automation:
1. If necessary, open BAFWorks.
2. On the BAFWorks home screen, touch Fans .
3. Locate the fan group you want to work with, and then touch the Detail Page button for the group. The group details page appears.
Note: The application starts with a default group called “Fans.” See page 49 for instructions on adding and deleting groups.
4. Under Automation , select an automation mode:
• Manual . Lets users manually change the speed of the fans to suit their temperature needs. The fans will not adjust speed
automatically.
• Summer . During the cooling season, monitors the temperature at the floor level and adjusts the fan speed according to the
specified temperature and speed settings.
• Winter . During the heating season, monitors the difference in temperatures at the floor and ceiling levels and automatically
adjusts the fan speed to maintain a uniform temperature between the floor and ceiling while using the lowest fan speed possible.
• Auto
. Combines the features of Summer and Winter modes and monitors the difference between the floor temperature and the
Winter maximum temperature setting. If the floor temperature is less than the Winter maximum temperature, Winter Mode is
used. If the floor temperature is greater than the Winter maximum temperature, Summer Mode is used.
5. Next to Automation Changes, touch Edit . The Fans Automation page appears (Figure 5).
6. Configure the settings, and then touch Done . See Figure 5 below for settings details.
