RESET RATIO
The Reset Ratio setting determines how much the Target Temperature will increase as the outdoor temperature drops. The Reset Ratio is expressed in the following manner:
X:Y | X - change in outdoor temperature |
| Y - change in Target Temperature |
The first number in the ratio refers to the change in outdoor temperature in degrees Fahren- heit below outdoor cutoff while the second refers to the change in the computed Target Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. A Reset Ratio of 2:1 means that for every 2°F drop in outdoor temperature from 70°F, the Target Temperature will increase 1°F.
For example:
Assume a Reset Ratio setting of 2:1 and a Set Point of 120°F.
When the outdoor temperature drops from 70°F to 20°F, the Target Temperature will in- crease from 120°F to 145°F. (With an outdoor to target ratio of 2:1, a 50°F outdoor tem- perature decrease results in a 25°F Target Temperature increase). See Reset Ratio Chart (pg. 20) for more information.
The Reset Ratio is adjustable from 0.12:1 to 8.0:1.
Recommended Initial Setting for Reset Ratio is 1:1.

The selection of the correct ratio is dependent on the initial temperature Set Point and the desired system water temperature. If the building is too cold, move the ratio knob
