Fan Speed Control - Electric Heat Override
- When electric heat is required and active, the control continuously
monitors the supply air temperature to verify it does not rise above the configured
Maximum Heating SAT Limit
[90°F (32.2°C) default]. As the SAT approaches the limit minus 10 °F (5.5 °C), the fan speed increases to
ensure the SAT remains below the limit. This provides the most quiet and efficient operation by running the fan at
the lowest speed possible.
Fan Speed Control - DX Cooling override
- When DX (direct expansion) mechanical cooling is required and active,
the control continuously monitors the supply air temperature to maintain the SAT at or above the configured
Minimum Cooling SAT Limit
[50°F (10°C) default] plus 5 °F (2.7 °C). When the SAT drops below this value,
the fan speed increases to prevent the SAT from dropping further. The fan operates at the lowest speed to
maximize latent capacity during cooling.
Fan Status
(Option)
- The optional input can be configured as a fan status input. If configured as
Fan Status
, the
controller compares the status of the fan to the desired commanded state. When the fan is commanded to run
(ON), the fan status is checked and verified to match the commanded state. If the fan status is not on, then a
supply fan alarm is generated after 1 minute and the equip
ment’s OAD is disa
bled. If the equipment has hydronic
heat configured, the heating algorithm maintains the desired fan-off setpoint.
Cooling
The Fan Coil operates one stage of DX cooling or chilled water valve (2-position or modulating) to maintain the
desired cooling setpoint. The PI (Proportional-integral) cooling algorithm controls the cooling. The desired
Supply
Air Temperature
setpoint [
Cooling Control Setpoint
] is calculated by the controller. This setpoint is compared to
the actual supply air temperature and determines valve operation for modulating or 2-position control valves or
staging for DX control.
The following conditions must be true in order for the cooling algorithm to run:
•
Cooling
is set to
Enable
.
•
Space temperature reading is valid.
•
For 2-pipe systems, the water temperature is suitable for cooling
•
Heat mode is not active and for DX, the 5-minute compressor time-guard timer has expired
•
OAT is greater than the
Cooling Lockout Temperature
if OAT is available.
•
Condensate Overflow
input is
Normal
.
•
If occupied, the SPT is greater than the
Occupied Cooling Setpoint
.
•
If unoccupied, the SPT is greater than the
Unoccupied Cooling Setpoint
.
If all the above conditions are met, cooling is energized as required, otherwise it is disabled. If cooling is active
and the SAT approaches the minimum SAT limit, the cooling valve modulates closed. (For DX cooling, if the SAT
drops below the configured minimum SAT value plus 5 °F (2.7 °C), the fan is indexed to a higher speed. If this
is insufficient and if the SAT falls below the minimum limit, the DX cooling stage is disabled.)
The configuration screens contain
