Function 

The controller measures the room temperature with its integrated sensor and maintains 
the setpoint by delivering control commands. 

At setpoint condition, the output is 0 Vdc. On increase in temperature in cooling mode, 
the output signal goes up from 0 to 10 volts (Direct Acting 

– D.A.). 

The proportional band or the switching differential can be 2°F or 7°F (1°C or 4°C) in 
heating mode and 1°F or 3.5°F (0.5°C or 2°C) in cooling mode (selectable with DIP 
Switch No. 4).

Minimum Limitation of 
Cooling Signal 

Using the potentiometer located on the circuit board, the cooling signal output can be 
limited to a minimum value of 0 through 100%. This can be used to ensure a minimum 
supply air volume. When used in connection with a VAV controller, this setting must be 
taken into account. To set minimum limitation, use a screwdriver to adjust the 
potentiometer (see Figure 2). Values on the scale are percentage of full operation.
