Set jumpers on the back of the controller: 0

10 VDC (default), or 0

20 mA. Further define analog outputs with 

A02.Custom ranges can be created by setting minimum and maximum signal limits. 

 

A control loop, special function, digital control or analog control sequence is not active until it is assigned an output.  

 

Low and high limit alarms are defined with input parameters. With output parameters assign an 

alarm to an output and select output state. The required output for each alarm can be 

individually selected. Multiple alarms can be signed to one output. If one alarm is selected to 

simultaneously activate and deactivate an output, the one to de-activate has precedence.  

 

With manual positioning (1A00=4) position the output by time schedule or directly in 0.5% 

steps. Setting 1A01 to 0 will disable manual positioning. The output will then only be controlled by time schedule.  

 

With dehumidifying (1A00=3) the maximum value is taken of cooling and dehumidifying. When the humidity is too 

high, cooling will continue to operate, even without a demand for cooling, to dehumidify the air and heating will 

activate to maintain comfort.  

 

Input values of inputs and set points of control loops may be transmitted on the analog outputs. 

 

Minimum or maximum limits of output signals may be reversed

. This allows to create a control option for 

example of 6-way valves where the following conditions are required: 0% full cooling, 50% no cooling or heating, 

100% full heating. This is achieved by setting 1A05 = 50%, 1A06 = 0%, 1A03 = 50% and 1A04 = 100%.  

While one sequence is reversed and the other is direct, the output will remain in OFF mode at the percentage defined 

with the last active minimum sequence.  

Note: Alarm values will not be affected by minimum or maximum limits.  

 

For 

VAV Function

 individual minimum and 

maximum limits may be assigned for cooling and 

heating. In VAV applications maximum cooling 

output matches the maximum air volume the 

VAV box is set to deliver. As demand for airflow 

in cooling mode decreases, airflow dwindles until 

it reaches minimum cooling output (1A05). This 

minimum will be based on the airflow needed at 

design cooling and is typically 10% to 15% of 

maximum cooling airflow. When this minimum is 

reached the system is in dead-band 

 neither 

heating nor cooling. Minimum airflow in heating 

mode is set with 1A03. As the system moves into heating mode, heating airflow increases until it reaches the 

maximum heating output (1A04), typically 30 to 50% of maximum cooling airflow.
