If the room temperature rises:

When 

Room T

o

 < Set Point + Differential 1

, the Stage 1 fans run

according to the minimum ventilation cycle.

When 

Room T

o

 = Set Point + Differential 1

, the Stage 1 fans run

continuously.

When 

Room T

o

 = Set Point + Differential 1 + Differential 2

, the

Stage 2 fans start to run.

A new cooling stage is turned on when the room temperature reaches

the set point plus the sum of the differentials of the preceding stages

plus the current stage differential.

If the room temperature falls:

When 

Room T

= Set Point + Differentials 1 to 7

, the Stage 8 fans

return to a stop.

When 

Room T

o  

= Set Point

, the Stage 1 fans stop running continu-

ously and start to run according to the minimum ventilation cycle.

When the room temperature drops below this point, the stage 1 fans

operate according to the minimum ventilation cycle.
