Electric Heating Sequence Of Operations
The following sequence describes the operation of the electric
heat section.
Single stage heating:
a. Upon a call for heating by the thermostat, the heater
relay (RA) will be energized. After completing the
specified fan on delay for heating, the UCB will energize
the blower motor.
b. The thermostat will cycle the electric heat to satisfy the
heating requirements of the conditioned space.
Two-stage heating:
a. Upon a call for first stage heat by the thermostat, the
heater relay (RA) will be energized. After completing the
specified fan on delay for heating, the UCB will energize
the blower motor.
b. If the second stage of heat is required, heater relay (RB)
will be energized.
c. The thermostat will cycle the electric heat to satisfy the
heating requirements of the conditioned space.
Electric Heat Operation Errors
Temperature Limit Interlock
If the UCB senses zero volts from the high temperature limit
interlock, the indoor blower motor is immediately energized.
This limit interlock is monitored regardless of unit operation
status, i.e. the limit is monitored at all times.
If the temperature limit interlock opens three times within one
hour, it will lock-on the indoor blower motor.
Safety Controls
The UCB monitors the temperature limit switch of electric heat
units.
The control circuit includes the following safety controls:
Limit Switch (LS)
This control is located inside the heater compartment and is set
to open at the temperature indicated in the Electric Heat Limit
Setting Table 24. It resets automatically. The limit switches
operate when a high temperature condition, caused by
inadequate supply air flow occurs, thus shutting down the
heater and energizing the blower.
Reset
Remove the call for heating by lowering the thermostat setting
lower than the conditioned space temperature.
Electric Heat Anticipator Setpoints
It is important that the anticipator setpoint be correct. Too high
of a setting will result in longer heat cycles and a greater
temperature swing in the conditioned space. Reducing the
value below the correct setpoint will give shorter “ON” cycles
and may result in the lowering of the temperature within the
conditioned space. Refer to Table 25 for the required electric
heat anticipator setting, for electronic thermostats refer to
thermostat manufacturer’s installation instructions.
