CONTROL OPERATING SEQUENCE

Constant Volume and Variable Air Volume Units

TWO-POSITION DAMPER CONTROL Ð Two-position damper control opens or closes ®eld-supplied and installed two-position outdoor-air dampers in order to provide mini- mum outdoor air ventilation.

If the supply fan is OFF, the damper is closed. If the sup- ply fan is ON, the control determines if the unit is in the OCCUPIED mode. If unit is in the OCCUPIED mode, the dampers open. If unit is in the UNOCCUPIED mode, the dampers close.

FILTER STATUS CONTROL Ð This control sequence moni- tors one or more air¯ow switches which measure the dif- ferential pressure between the upstream and downstream side of a ®lter.

When the ®lter becomes dirty or needs to be replaced, the air¯ow switches send a discrete signal to the processor mod- ule. This, in turn, generates an alarm at the Local Interface Device or Building Supervisor.

FAN CONTROL Ð The supply fan is started or stopped based on the occupancy schedule, adaptive optimal start, night- time free cooling, unoccupied heating, unoccupied cooling, demand limiting, night purge, or timed override.

The start of an occupied period is determined by either the occupancy schedule or optimal start. If optimal start is not selected, the supply fan starts at the occupied time en- tered in the occupancy schedule. If optimal start is selected, the fan starts at the calculated start time. The fan stops at the unoccupied time entered in the occupancy schedule. (Timed override may be used to extend the occupied period between 1 and 4 hours.)

During the unoccupied period, whenever the space tem- perature falls below the unoccupied heating set point or rises above the unoccupied cooling set point, the supply fan en- ergizes and runs until the space temperature returns to within the required limits.

The supply fan can also run between the hours of 3:00 am and 7:00 am when the unit is in the Nighttime Free Cooling mode to pre-cool the space prior to the Occupied period.

Constant volume units that are subject to demand limiting stop the supply fan whenever a loadshed command is re- ceived from the CCN Loadshed option. The supply fan re- mains OFF until the loadshed command is cleared or the in- ternal maximum loadshed timer expires.

NIGHTTIME FREE COOL (NTFC) Ð Nighttime free cool- ing is used to start the supply fan to precool the building's interior using outside air. This delays the need for mechani- cal cooling when the system enters the Occupied mode.

The system determines if the outside conditions (tempera- ture and enthalpy) are suitable for outside cooling. If so, the supply fan is energized and the dampers modulate open. Once the space has been sufficiently cooled, the fan stops.

If the outside air conditions are not suitable, the fan remains OFF.

The unit must have mixed-air dampers to operate NTFC.

NTFC is scheduled to run only between the hours of 3:00 am and 7:00 am.

NIGHT PURGE Ð During the unoccupied period, this fea- ture starts the fans and opens the mixed-air dampers to re- move stagnant air and airborne pollutants from the building space.

If the current time is within the con®gured night purge duration, the control reads the outdoor air temperature and determines the mixed-air damper position. If the outdoor air temperature is less than the con®gured NTFC lockout tem- perature, the system sets the mixed-air dampers at the con- ®gured low temperature position. If the outdoor-air temperature is greater than the NTFC set point, or the enthalpy is high, the system sets the dampers at the con®gured high tempera- ture position.

When the outside-air temperature is below the NTFC set point and the low temperature night purge damper position is set to zero, night purge is not performed. Also, when the outside air temperature is above the NTFC set point and en- thalpy is high, if the high temperature night purge damper position is set to zero, night purge is not performed.

Night purge ends when the occupied time period begins.

QUICK TEST Ð The Quick Test is initiated and controlled at the local interface device (HSIO). It allows the service person or building owner to test all inputs and outputs of the PIC controls. When used, it displays all current values of input channels and allows the user to exercise all output channels.

Quick test suspends all process algorithms and forces all outputs with a service priority.

All service forces are removed when Quick Test is exited and control is returned to the process algorithms.

ANALOG OUTPUT TEMPERATURE CONTROL/ PREHEAT COIL CONTROL Ð The analog output tem- perature control adjusts an analog output to a ®xed set point, based on any analog temperature sensor connected to the unit. (Applicable sensors are: space temperature sensor, outside- air temperature sensor, mixed-air temperature sensor, supply- air temperature sensor, and return-air temperature sensor.)

If the fan is ON, the control identi®es the controlling tem- perature sensor, reads the sensor and compares the tempera- ture to the con®gurable set point. It then calculates the tem- perature required to satisfy the conditions.

The calculated value is compared to the actual tempera- ture and the corresponding output is modulated to the required position.

The preheat coil control adjusts the steam or hot water valve. The valve is modulated to raise the temperature of incoming outside air. The control uses a sensor downstream from the preheat coil to monitor the air temperature.

If the supply fan is OFF, the heating valve is modulated to maintain the desired minimum duct temperature (fan off value).

If the supply fan is on and the entering-air temperature is below the set point value, the heating valve is modulated to obtain the desired leaving-air temperature.
