Operation: Control the Environment

Dehumidify. Dehumidify mode is controlled by the dehumidify PID controller. The PID controller adjusts the output as required to maintain the temperature at the setpoint.

See “PID controls” on page 23 for a description of the PID controls and instructions on tuning the dehumidify PID loop.

Humidify. The steam cylinder humidifier output is controlled by the humidify proportional controller. When the control humidity drops below the humidify setpoint, the humidifier output increases as the control humidity drops until the output reaches 100%.

See “Humidification sensitivity” on page 25 for a description of the Humidification sensitivity band.

Setpoints

Path: Main > Control Environment > Setpoints

Setpoints are the target values that each mode maintains in the room. The default setpoints are appropriate for most precision cooling applications.

The setpoint for each mode must be within the following ranges:

Cool: 61.8–90.0°F (16.5 to 32.2°C)

Reheat: 60.0–88.2°F (15.6 to 31.2°C)

Dehumidify: 30–80% Relative Humidity

Humidify: 30–80% Relative Humidity

If a mode is disabled and you change the setpoint, the display warns you that the mode is disabled. See “Modes” on page 22 to enable or disable operating modes.

You cannot overlap setpoints. If you attempt to overlap setpoints, the display warns you and resets the setpoints.

Note The Cool setpoint must be 1.8° F (1° C) above the Reheat setpoint, if reheat is installed in the Module. The Dehum setpoint must be 1% Relative Humidity above the Humidify setpoint, if a humidifier is installed.

Central Air Conditioning System specifications

American Power Conversion (APC) is renowned for delivering innovative solutions in the realm of power management, but its contributions don't stop there. The company has also made significant advancements in central air conditioning systems. Featuring cutting-edge technologies and energy-efficient designs, their HVAC systems are tailored to meet modern needs while ensuring comfort and sustainability.

One of the standout features of APC central air conditioning systems is their variable speed compressor technology. This advanced system operates at different speeds rather than just cycling on and off. By adjusting the compressor speed to match the cooling demand, these systems optimize energy consumption, leading to lower electricity bills and extended equipment lifespan.

APC's systems also incorporate smart thermostat capabilities, allowing homeowners to monitor and control their air conditioning remotely. Through a mobile app, users can adjust temperature settings, create schedules, and receive maintenance alerts, all of which enhance convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, these smart thermostats can learn user habits over time, automatically adjusting temperature settings to maximize comfort and savings.

Another key characteristic of APC central air conditioning systems is their commitment to eco-friendly refrigerants. Utilizing low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, these systems minimize the environmental impact while maintaining high-performance standards. With energy efficiency ratings that often exceed industry benchmarks, APC systems contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and help homeowners adopt sustainable practices.

The design of APC air conditioning units is also noteworthy. They are constructed with durable materials that withstand various weather conditions, ensuring reliability during the hottest months. Additionally, the streamlined design of these systems enhances aesthetic appeal, making them a suitable choice for modern homes.

In conclusion, the American Power Conversion central air conditioning system exemplifies the synergy of innovative technology, energy efficiency, and user-friendly features. With variable speed compressors, smart controls, eco-friendly refrigerants, and robust construction, APC provides homeowners with a dependable and sustainable climate control solution. As demand for energy-efficient products continues to grow, APC is poised to lead the way in intelligent air conditioning solutions that prioritize both comfort and environmental responsibility.
