Free Cool PreOcc Time (FC.TM)

48/50PG and PM

Free Cool PreOcc Time (FC.TM)

FC.TM is the configuration that determines how many minutes before occupancy that free cooling can occur when set for Preoccupancy (UEFC = 2).

Free Cool Low Temp Limit (FC.LO)

Unoccupied free cooling cannot occur if the Outdoor Air Temperature (TemperatureAIR.TOAT) is less than FC.LO.

Power Exhaust

To enable power exhaust, ConfigurationECONPE.EN must be set to ENBL. If power exhaust is enabled, Power Exhaust 1 will turn on when the economizer position is greater than the value of ConfigurationECONPE.1. If power exhaust is enabled, Power Exhaust 2 will turn on when the economizer position is greater than the value of ConfigurationECONPE.2. There are small time delays to ensure that rapid cycling does not occur.

Optional Humidi−MiZert Dehumidification

System

Units with the factory−equipped Humidi−MiZer option are capable of providing multiple modes of improved dehumidification as a variation of the normal cooling cycle. The Humidi−MiZer option includes additional valves in the liquid line and discharge line of each refrigerant circuit, a small reheat condenser coil downstream of the evaporator, and Motormasterr variable−speed control of some or all outdoor fans. The Humidi−MiZer Equipped (ConfigurationHMZRREHT) configuration is factory set to Yes for Humidi−MiZer equipped units. This enables Humidi−MiZer operating modes and service test.

NOTE: If the unit is a Humidi−MiZer unit, this configuration must always be set to yes. The Humidi−MiZer option does affect the base unit wiring.

Humidi−MiZer operation requires installation and configuration of either a space relative humidity sensor or a relative humidity switch input. Space Humidity Switch (ConfigurationUNITRH.SW) set to 1 for use of a normally open switch or 2 for normally closed switch. The switch is wired to field connection terminal board terminals labeled HUMDISTAT. Set RH Sensor on OAQ Input (ConfigurationUNITRH.S) to Yes for use of a 4 to 20 mA output RH sensor wired to field connection terminal board (TB) terminals 1 and 4 (for loop powered). RH Sensor Value at 4ma (ConfigurationAIR.QH.4M) sets the % display for a 4mA input from the relative humidity sensor. RH Sensor Value at 20ma (ConfigurationAIR.QH.20M) sets the % display for a 20mA input from the relative humidity sensor.

Dehumidification Demand

When using a humidistat or switch input, the demand for dehumidification is seen as Space Humidity Switch (Inputs GEN.IHUM) being Low or High. A low value means humidity level is good and a high value means that dehumidification is needed. When using an RH sensor, the demand is based on the Space Humidity Sensor (InputsAIR.QSP.RH) value compared to the Space RH Occupied Setpoint (SetpointsRH.SP) during the occupied period and Space RH Unoccupied Setpoint (Setpoints RH.UN) during unoccupied periods. If the Space Humidity Sensor (SP.RH) value is above the Space RH Setpoint (RH.SP), then dehumidification is needed. If the Space Humidity Sensor (SP.RH) value is below the Space RH Setpoint (RH.SP) minus the Space RH Deadband (SetpointsRH.DB), then dehumidification is no longer needed. If the unit is configured for space sensor control (ConfigurationUNIT U.CTL = 3), then the setpoint Reheat Heat SP Deadband (SetpointsRH.HB) applies. This configuration sets the offset above the heating set point at which a unit in Reheat2 mode will turn off. This is a protection against over cooling the space and causing a heat demand.

NOTE: When there is a dehumidification demand, the economizer damper position is limited to it’s minimum damper position (Operating ModeECONEC.MP).

Reheat Modes

Dehumidification (reheat) is a cooling mode function. Refer to Cooling Operation for cooling mode control. With Humidi−MiZer units there are three additional HVAC Mode (HVAC) expanded texts available for the user: Reheat1, Reheat2, and Reheat1/Reheat2. Selection of the reheat mode for each refrigerant circuit is determined by the dehumidification demand and the cooling demand. Table 10 shows the corresponding circuit mode and output status for the different demand combinations. Units with multiple circuits can operate with a combination of Reheat1 and Reheat2 circuits, as determined by the amount of space cooling demand. See Appendix B for complete tables of unit operation response to thermostat and humidity inputs.

NOTE: Compressor staging control for Humidi−MiZer units requires that circuit A always operates when either circuits B or C are on. This applies to normal operation, service test, and for control alarm responses. This operation difference is required due to the fact that the Motormaster outdoor fan control senses circuit A only.

Operation of the revised refrigerant circuit for each mode is described below.

NOTE: x = refrigerant circuit A, B, or C

Normal Cooling

For 48/50PG03−16 units, refrigerant flows from the outdoor condenser through the normally open Cooling Valve (CV.x) to the expansion device. Reheat1 Valve (RH1.x) and Reheat2 Valve (RH2.x) are closed. (See Fig. 9.)

For 48/50PG20−28 and 48/50PM16−28 units, refrigerant flows from the outdoor condenser through the de−energized 3−way valve (RH.x) to the expansion device. Reheat2 Valve (RH2.x) is closed. (See Fig. 12.)

Reheat 1 (Subcooling Mode)

This mode increases latent cooling and decreases sensible cooling compared to normal cooling.

For 48/50PG03−16 units, refrigerant flows from the outdoor condenser, through the normally open Reheat 1 Valve (RH1.x), and through the reheat condenser coil to the expansion device. Cooling Valve (CV.x) and Reheat2 Valve (RH2.x) are closed. (See Fig. 10.)

For 48/50PG20−28 and 48/50PM16−28 units, refrigerant flows from the outdoor condenser, through the energized 3−way Valve (RH1.x), and through the reheat condenser coil to the expansion device. Cooling Reheat2 Valve (RH2.x) is closed. (See Fig. 13.)

Reheat 2 (Hot Gas Reheat Mode)

This mode provides maximum latent cooling with little to no sensible capacity. This mode can operate to provide dehumidification when there is no cooling demand. Similar to Reheat 1 mode, refrigerant flows from the outdoor condenser, through the normally open Reheat 1 Valve (RH1.x), or through the energized 3−way valve (RH.1x), and through the reheat condenser coil to the expansion device. Reheat2 Valve (RH2.x) is open which provides some compressor discharge gas to the reheat condenser to further increase the reheat of the evaporator air stream (See Fig. 11 or 14 based on unit and size).

NOTE: Humidi−MiZer outdoor fan configurations are dependent on the specific unit and should not be changed. The configurations are provided in case a field replacement of a control board occurs and the settings need to be checked or manually configured. See Appendix A for range and defaults.
