—The Derivative Time (DT), also called Derivative Gain,
determines the impact of the error rate on the output signal.
The error rate is how fast the error value changes. It can
also be the direction the space temperature is going, either
toward or away from the setpoint, and its speed—rapid or
slow. A decrease in DT causes, for a given error rate, a
greater effect on output signal.
Recovery Ramping Logic
The T7350 incorporates a ramping feature that gradually
changes the space setpoints. During recovery operation, the
setpoint changes at a rate in degrees per hour depending on
the outdoor air temperature. If there is no outdoor air
temperature sensor available, the minimum ramp rate is used.
When recovering in heating, the control point raises gradually,
maximizing the use of the more economical first stage heat to
bring the sensed temperature to the desired comfort setpoint.
This minimizes using the typically more expensive later
stage(s) of heat.
NOTE: See Fig. 11 for a pictorial representation of the heat
ramp rate determination.

Recovery Ramping for Conventional Systems

NOTES:
— Recovery ramping applies between scheduled
heat or cool setpoint changes from not occupied
to standby and not occupied to occupied.
— Other setpoint changes use a setpoint step
change.

Recovery Ramping for Heat Pump Systems

During recovery with heat pump equipment, the heating
setpoint is split into a heat pump setpoint for compressors,
and two auxiliary heat setpoints for the auxiliary heat stages.
(See Fig. 12 for the various setpoints.)
Fig. 12. Heat setpoint ramping for heat pump systems.
Heat pump ramping for heating proceeds as follows:
1. The heat pump setpoint begins to ramp until the room
temperature and the compressor ramp intersect.
2. At this point, the heat pump setpoint performs a step
change to the Occupied (or Standby) setpoint and all
auxiliary heat stages are disabled.
NOTE: The heat pump setpoint remains here for th e
rest of the Not Occupied period.
3. The stage one auxiliary heat ramp is calculated based
on a steeper slope starting 1° F (0.5° C) below the not
occupied setpoint.
4. When the room temperature intersects this auxiliary
heat ramp, the first stage of auxiliary heat is enabled.
5. The stage two auxiliary heat ramp is calculated based
on an even steeper slope starting 2° F (1° C) below the
not occupied setpoint.
6. When the room temperature intersects this auxiliary
heat ramp, the second stage of auxiliary heat is
enabled.
During the cool recovery period, the setpoint changes at a
rate in degrees per hour relative to the outdoor air
temperature. If there is no outdoor air temperature sensor
available, the minimum ramp rate is used.
See Fig. 13 for the various setpoints.
NOTE: For cooling, the same method is used in both
conventional and heat pump systems.
