INTRODUCTION
This guide contains information on the electronic control
system and control system troubleshooting for the 48DK and
50DK,DY024-074 variable-air volume (VAV) units.
IMPORTANT: The field-supplied and installed switch
(or timeclock) MUST BE CLOSED to put unit into
the occupied mode. Unit WILL NOT START until this
is accomplished. See base unit installation instructions
literature for details.
VAV Control System —
The 20 to 75-ton VAV roof-
top units contain a microprocessor-based electronic control
system that controls and monitors the rooftop unit functions.
The VAV control system is composed of several components:
• processor board
• relay board
• display board
• thermistors
• compressor operation feedback (control relay)
• accessory board
• temperature reset package*
• single-step demand limit*
• two-step demand limit control module*
*Field-installed accessories.
The VAV control system monitors and controls the fol-
lowing functions of the rooftop unit:
• leaving-air temperature (unit capacity)
• morning warm-up or electric heat (if equipped)
• head pressure control, fan cycling (034-074)
• economizer position
• diagnostic display
• unit check-out (quick test)
• demand limiting (if equipped)
• temperature reset (if equipped)
Processor Board —
The processor board, shown in
Fig. 1, is the brain of the equipment. It contains the logic
and the necessary hardware to drive the outputs and the dis-
play board. The processor board is enclosed by a sheet metal
cover and a heater. The heater is controlled by a thermostat
to keep the processor temperature above 32 F. All electrical
connections are made to the processor board through wire
and ribbon cables.
