NON-LINKAGE CONTROLLED AIR SOURCES — In sys-
tems with Non–Linkage central air sources or central air
sources that do not support Linkage, the zone coordination
function of Linkage can still be provided by the Linkage func-
tion contained within a Linkage Coordinator. In these cases, the
zone configured as the Linkage Coordinator will determine the
operational mode of the air source through its bypass controller
pressure sensor. Once the air source is determined to be opera-
tional, the Linkage Coordinator will attempt to determine the
air source mode (heating or cooling) by measuring the supply
air temperature from the air source by either a primary air
temperature sensor or a bypass duct temperature sensor. A
field-supplied primary air temperature sensor is required.
The modes that can be determined are Cooling, Heating,
Free Cooling, or Off. If a sensor is not installed, or the sensor
fails, then the Linkage Coordinator will default to the cooling
mode. The mode and air source status is then transmitted down
to the zones by the Linkage Coordinator.
NOTE: If Linkage communication should fail between a
linked air source and its Linkage Coordinator for more then
5 minutes, the Linkage Coordinator will generate a Linkage
Failure alarm and will revert back a Non-Linkage air source
control. Once Linkage communication has been re-established
it will automatically begin controlling the air source.
System Modes —
The following modes are determined
by the Linkage Coordinator through the Linkage data exchange
when there is a linked, controlled air source or by using its
bypass controller and primary air sensor if the there is a
non-linkage controlled air source. Some modes will not be
available if the there is a non-Linkage controlled air source. All
the listed modes are available if there is a linked Carrier
communicating network controlled air source depending on the
available input options of the of the air source. Each mode
description identifies if and how that mode is determined if
there is a non-linkage controlled air source.
OFF MODE — The linked air source will determine this
mode based on its fan status input under normal operating
conditions. For a non-Linkage controlled air source, the
Linkage Coordinator will determine if the air source is opera-
tional (the fan is on) by determining if the bypass pressure can
be measured. If no pressure can be measured then the Linkage
Coordinator controller concludes that the air source is off and
all zone dampers will go to 70% open. If pressure is measured,
then the Linkage Coordinator concludes that the air source in
on. If no bypass controller is present then the system will be
considered to be always on.
HEAT MODE — The linked air source is in heat mode due to
a request for from Linkage Coordinator. For a non-Linkage
controlled air source, when the fan is determined to be on, the
Linkage Coordinator controller reads the primary air tempera-
ture value. If the duct temperature is 5° F greater than the
reference zone temperature and the reference zone is greater
than 65 F, or if the reference zone is less than 65 F and the duct
temperature is 10° F greater than the reference zone tempera-
ture, then the mode is determined to be heating.
COOL MODE — The linked air source is in cool mode due to
a request for from Linkage Coordinator. For a non-linkage
controlled air source, when the fan is determined to be on, the
Linkage Coordinator controller reads the primary air tempera-
ture value. If the temperature is less than the reference zone
temperature, as calculated by the Linkage Coordinator control-
ler, minus 2° F, the mode is determined to be cooling.
FREECOOL MODE — The following conditions must be
present in the linked air source for free cooling mode:
• the average zone temperature value is greater than the
average unoccupied zone cooling temperature set point
• the current time is between 3:00 AM and 7:00 AM
• the air source is providing cooling to the system
If the above conditions are true, then the mode is deter-
mined to be Free Cooling. This mode is then communicated to
all zone controllers associated (linked) with the Linkage
Coordinator controller. For a non-Linkage controlled air
source, this will be same as COOL mode if the criteria for
COOL mode is met as described above.
PRESSURIZATION MODE — If the linked air source has
its optional Pressurization input closed, it will transmit this
mode to the Linkage Coordinator. If this mode is active then all
zones will open the dampers to the cooling maximum damper
position, series fan boxes will have their fans forced on and
parallel fan boxes will have their fan forced off. This mode is
not available for if there is a non-Linkage controlled air source.
EVACUATION MODE — If the linked air source has its op-
tional Fire Shutdown or Evacuation input closed, it will
transmit this mode to the Linkage Coordinator. If this mode is
active then all zone dampers will be fully closed and series and
parallel fan boxes will have their fans forced off. This mode is
not available for if there is a non-Linkage controlled air source.
Air Terminal Modes —
Once the system mode is es-
tablished the terminals will control their dampers to maintain
the zone temperature in the space. Table 25 list a brief descrip-
tion of their operation. For a detail description of the terminal
modes and their operation, refer to the 3V™ Control System
Application manual.
