Determine heating PIAB and total heating air CFM
delivered during a heating call
Calculate these to-
tals using the formulas and example in Table 7. The ex-
ample uses the following assumptions:
D
Zone 1 Jumper
30%
D
Zone 2 Jumper
50%
D
Zone 3 Jumper
40%
D
Zone 4 Jumper
OFF
D
Zones calling for heat
1 & 3
D
Heat reduction jumper
20
D
Maximum CFM
2220
D
Minimum CFM
720

Determine total air delivered during a continuous
blower call
Calculate these totals using the formu-
las and example (Table 8) which uses the same as-
sumptions as table 7, except with zones 1, 2 and 3 call-
ing for cooling, and with 25% air reduction:

IMPORTANT
If any changes are made to the blower speed selec-
tions on the SureLight
®
or BDC3 boards, the zone
control PIAB calculations must be performed again
to ensure proper airflow.
