Indoor/Outdoor Reset Mode Startup Procedure
1. Refer to the Indoor/Outdoor reset ratio charts in Appendix D.
2. Choose the chart corresponding to the desired Building Reference Temperature.
3. Go down the left column of the chart to the coldest design outdoor air temperature
expected in your area.
4. Once the design outdoor air temperature is chosen, go across the chart to the desired
supply header temperature for the design temperature chosen in step 3.
5. Next, go up that column to the Reset Ratio row to find the corresponding reset ratio.
6. Access the Configuration Menu and scroll through it until the display shows Bldg Ref
Temp. (Building Reference Temperature). If necessary, refer to section 3.3 for detailed
instructions on menu changing.
7. Press the CHANGE key. The display will begin to flash.
8.
Use the ▲ and ▼ arrow keys to select the desired Building Reference Temperature.
9. Press ENTER to save any changes.

12.
Use the ▲ and ▼ arrow keys to select the Reset Ratio determined in step 5.

5.3 CONSTANT SETPOINT MODE
The Constant Setpoint mode is used when a fixed header temperature is desired. Common uses
of this mode of operation include water source heat pump loops, and indirect heat exchangers
for potable hot water systems or processes.
No external sensors are required to operate in this mode. While it is necessary to set the desired
setpoint temperature, it is not necessary to change any other temperature-related functions. The
unit is factory preset with settings that work well in most applications. Prior to changing any
temperature-related parameters, other than the setpoint, it is suggested that an AERCO
representative be contacted. For descriptions of temperature-related functions and their factory
defaults, see Appendices A and E.
5.3.1 Setting the Setpoint
The setpoint temperature of the unit is adjustable from 40°F to 240°F. To set the unit for
operation in the Constant Setpoint Mode, the following menu settings must be made in the
Configuration Menu:
