UTILITY PARAMETERS

The Utility Parameters are grouped on PAGE-33 and allow the user to set the Compressor Control Strategy and the Zero-

Offset values for Temperature and the Relative Humidity (RH) values. The Table 8.1 below describes each parameter. 

Table 8.1

Dry Bulb SP

Dry Bulb PV

(Default : Dry Bulb SP)

ZERO OFFSET FOR RH VALUE

This value is algebraically added to the measured %RH value to 
derive  the  final  PV  that  is  displayed  and  compared  for  alarm  / 
control.

ZERO OFFSET FOR WET BULB 
TEMPERATURE VALUE 

This  value  is  algebraically  added  to  the  measured  Wet-Bulb  
Temperature value to derive the final PV that is used to compute 
the % RH Value. 

ZERO OFFSET FOR DRY-BULB
TEMPERATURE VALUE

This  value  is  algebraically  added  to  the  measured  Dry-Bulb  
Temperature  value  to  derive  the  final  PV  that  is  displayed  and 
compared for alarm / control.

COMPRESSOR CONTROL STRATEGY

Refer detailed description below.

Compressor Control Strategy

The controller offers two different control algorithms for switching the compressor through Output 3 (OP3) Relay / SSR module 

using  the  parameter  ‘Compressor  Control  Strategy’.  The  two  strategies  are  explained  below.  Note  that  either  strategy 

operates (switches ON/OFF) the OP3 only if the parameter ‘OP3 Function’ on PAGE-13 is set to ‘Compressor’ and the 

‘Compressor Operation Mode ( CP.OP )’ parameter on PAGE-1 is set to ‘Auto’. 

1. Dry Bulb SP Strategy

   In this strategy, the controller provides two user settable parameters, viz. 

Compressor Setpoint

 (CP.SP) & 

Time Delay

   

(t.dLY) in PAGE 13 parameter list. 

   The Compressor ON or OFF state is determined based on the relative position of the Dry Bulb SP (Temperature Setpoint) 

with respect to the 

Compressor Setpoint. 

If the Dry Bulb SP is below the Compressor Setpoint, the compressor remains ON 

and if the Dry Bulb SP is equal or above the Compressor Setpoint, the compressor remains OFF. The following Figures 8.1 

and 8.2 illustrate the compressor ON and compressor OFF operation respectively.
