This setpoint allows you to set a Space Temperature that will cause
the VAV/Zone Controller to send a call for heat to the HVAC unit.
This only occurs in the Unoccupied Mode.

Auxiliary Heat
Setpoint..: XX

F
This setpoint allows you to set a Space Temperature that will enable
the Auxiliary Heat Relay (Relay 4) on the VAV/Zone Controller
Reheat Expansion Board for heating options other than box heat,
such as baseboard heat or an external duct heater. This could control
a stage of electric heat or an on/off hot water valve. The Auxiliary
Heat Relay will energize at .5
˚
F below this setpoint and will de-
energize at .5
˚
F above this setpoint. The Auxiliary Heat will continue
to function regardless of the HVAC Mode the unit is in and at any
air
fl
ow condition.

Setpoint Screen #5 - Damper Air
fl
ow Integral
XX Box Spts IDXXXX
Damper/Airflow Spt
Integral [Ki]..: XXX
The VAV/Zone Controller normally opens its damper based on a
Proportional Error from Setpoint. That means if the zone temperature
is 4°F from setpoint, the damper would be 100% open, or it would be
modulating to provide the Maximum CFM on Pressure Independent
boxes. If the error is less than 4°F, the damper may stagnate at that
position and never satisfy the zone. If you add
Integral
into the
damper calculation process, this will cause the damper or air
fl
ow
calculations to continue to increase as long as the zone temperature
is still above the setpoint. That means it can provide 100% or Maxi-
mum CFM before the 4°F error is achieved, bringing the zone under
control faster than it normally would. Start with a small (5 or 10)
value, if you use this, and monitor the effect it has. If you enter too
large a value, you can create “hunting” situations that can cause the
damper actuator to prematurely wear out.

The VAV/Zone Controller will not allow the damper or air
fl

culation to exceed the Maximum setpoint while it is allowing the
damper to modulate. During Vent mode when there is no heating
or cooling demand, the damper or air
fl
ow will maintain at least the
Vent Min amount of air
fl
ow into the zone for ventilation.

During Supply Air Cooling Mode, if the space being served by this
damper is satis
fi
ed and has no cooling demand, the damper will
close to this Cool Min setting. This provides a minimum amount
of air
fl
ow into the space for ventilation, even if the space does not
require additional cooling. During Supply Air Heating Mode, if the
space being served by this damper is satis
fi
ed and has no heating
demand, the damper will close to this Heat Min setting. This provides
a minimum amount of air
fl
ow into the space for ventilation, even if
the space does not require additional heating.
