© 2014 Taco Electronic Solutions, Inc.

When the 

Temperature Differential Maximum

 is set to 0, the 

Supply Temperature Setpoint Reset Curve

 is disabled and 

the VPU2 operates with the usual heating and cooling supply air temperature setpoints.

Figure 7: Supply Temp Reset Curves

Outside Air Temperature Lockouts

Heating can be disabled during warm weather by setting the outdoor air temperature heating lockout 

Max OAT Heat

. If 

the OAT is above the heating lockout temperature, the primary heating mode is disabled and the controller can only be 
in the primary off or primary cooling modes. This feature requires a controller that broadcasts the OAT, such as an 
ASM2 be installed on the network.

Cooling can be disabled during cold weather by setting the outdoor air temperature cooling lockout

 Min OAT Cool

. If 

the OAT is below the cooling lockout temperature, the primary cooling mode is disabled and the controller can only be 
in the primary off or primary heating modes. This feature requires a controller that broadcasts the OAT, such as an 
ASM2 be installed on the network.
