Humidity Control Logic (HCL)
The Humidity Control Logic (HCL) works to make the HVAC system run e
ffi
ciently and works to prevent a
humidifier and a cooling cycle from working against each other.
• HCL prevents a dehumidifier from being switched on if the last call to the HVAC system was for heating.
• HCL only allows a dehumidifier to be switched on if the last call to the HVAC system was for cooling.
• HCL prevents a humidifier from being switched on if the last call to the HVAC system was for cooling.
• The HCL only allows a humidifier to be switched on if the last call to the HVAC system is for heat.
• The HCL extends (Does Not Trigger) a call for cooling if the humidity level is not met.
By following the rules above, the HCL works to prevent a scenario where a call for humidity happens during
or immediately after a call for cooling has occurred. These two functions would work against each other so
the HVAC system runs ine
ffi
ciently.
Configure HCL
1.
Press the
MENU
button to open the
Menu Selection
screen.
2. Open the
Installer Settings
menu by pressing the two middle buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Refer to the
section for instructions.
3. From the
Installer Settings
screen, scroll down and
Select
the
Humidity Settings
option.
4. From the
Humidity Settings
screen, scroll down and set each of the following parameters using the
+/-
buttons:
Option
Description
RH Setpoint Sets the desired level of humidity within a zone.
RH
Temp Delta
Sets the
Relative Humidity Temperature Delta
.
Explanation of Functionality:
A cooling cycle is initiated because the temperature rises above the
Cooling Setpoint
. The HCL
function extends the cool cycle and allows the temperature to continue to drop below the
Cooling Setpoint
if the <
RH Setpoint
+
RH SP Delta
> is not reached. If the temp drops below the
Cooling Setpoint
by more than the <
Cooling Setpoint - RH Temp Delta
>, the cooling cycle is
terminated. (RH Temp Delta Range = 1°F - 5°F)
Example:
Cooling SetPoint = 80°, RH SetPoint = 45%, RH Temp Delta = 3°F, RH SP Delta = 1%, RH O
ff
Delta
= 2%, New Cool SP = 80° - 3° = 77°F
• A cooling cycle is initiated because the temperature rises above the
Cooling Setpoint
of 80°.
• Upon cooling the space to 80°F the HCL engages and extends the cool call because the
current Relative Humidity (now at 54%) is still above the (RH Setpoint - RH O
ff
Delta = 46%).
• If the space reaches the new Min Cool SP of 77°F before reaching the RH Setpoint, the cooling
cycle is terminated
RH
SP Delta
Sets the
Relative Humidity Setpoint Delta
.
Explanation of Functionality:
A cooling cycle is initiated because the temperature rises above the
Cooling Setpoint
. The
cooling cycle lowers the temp down to the
Cooling Setpoint
. If however, the humidity in the
space remains above the (RH Se RH SP Delta) the cool cycle will be extended.
(RH Setpoint Delta Range = 1 to 10%)
Example:
Cooling Setpoint = 80°, RH Setpoint = 45%, RH SP Delta = 4%, RH O
ff
Delta = 2%, RH Temp Delta
= 3°F
• A cooling cycle is initiated because the temperature rises above the
Cooling Setpoint
of 80°F.
• The cooling cycle lowers the temperature back to the Cooling Setpoint of 80°F. However, the
humidity which is now at 54% is still higher than the (RH Se RH SP Delta = 49%).
• At this point the cooling cycle is extended.
