Description of Operation
Night Purge Mode (State 8)
Night Purge mode is provided as a means to more easily and quickly ventilate a space. Night purge can be useful in helping to remove odor build up at the end of each day, or after cleaning, painting, or other odor generating operations occur within the space. Night Purge mode consists of a single UVC state: Night Purge [8].
Night Purge is a full ventilation with exhaust mode, during which room comfort is likely to be compromised. Therefore, McQuay strongly recommends using Night Purge only when the space is unoccupied.
When Night Purge mode becomes active, the UVC stops all normal heating and cooling. Since any new energy used to treat the incoming air would be wasted in the purge process. In the Night Purge mode, the space fan is set to high speed, the OA damper is set to 100% open, and the Exhaust Fan binary output (see “External Binary Outputs” on page 38) is set to ON. If the UVC is not set to another mode within 1 hour (fixed), the UVC automatically switches to the Fan Only mode (see “Fan Only Mode (State A)” on page 15).
While in Purge mode, the UVC does not maintain DA temperatures. If the space temperature drops below the EHS, the UVC is forced into the Emergency Heat mode (see “Emergency Heat Mode (Super State)” on page 16).

Fan Only Mode (State A)
The Fan Only mode is provided so that the UVC can be forced into a Fan Only operation via a keypad/display or a network connection. Fan Only mode consists of a single UVC state: Fan Only [A].
When Fan Only mode becomes active, the UVC stops all normal heating and cooling.
While in Fan Only mode, the UVC does not maintain DA temperatures. If the space temperature drops below the EHS, the UVC is forced into the Emergency Heat mode (see “Emergency Heat Mode (Super State)”).
