Optimizer Setpoint Change Mode
Optimizer Setpoint Change Mode
determines if the optimizer resets the setpoints automatically or requires manual
intervention and entry. The default is
AUTOMATIC
mode. During each response period, the optimizer determines a new
setpoint that best lowers energy consumption.
Modes:
AUTOMATIC
– The optimizer calculates the new setpoint and then automatically changes it. It repeats every response
period. No operator is required.
MANUAL
– The optimizer calculates the new setpoint, and requires an operator to change it. It repeats every response
period. An operator must continually monitor and change the setpoint.
Each response period, when the optimizer finishes its calculation, the optimizer instructs the operator to change to the
new setpoint, which should be changed within 2 minutes after each new setpoint is determined. If the operator delays
changing the setpoint, then the optimizer begins losing effectiveness in saving energy.
The optimizer calculates the next setpoint only after the operator changes it. The process repeats itself each response
period.
