When a unit uses 2-way modulat- ing valves, it is possible for the wa- ter near the entering water temperature sensor to migrate to- wards ambient temperature. The Tracer ZN.520 controller has a wa- ter sampling feature for these ap- plications. When the sensed water temperature is not sufficient for the requested heat/cool mode (5°F above the zone temperature for heating or 5°F below the zone temperature for cooling), the con- troller drives the valve fully open. The controller then monitors the water temperature until the appro- priate temperature is sensed or until the three minute time limit expires. If the water temperature is acceptable for the requested ca- pacity, the unit continues normal operation. If the three minute tim- er expires and the water tempera- ture is still unsuitable, the unit closes the valve and waits one hour before invoking the sampling feature again.

point. Default minimum damper positions are provided and can be changed for occupied and occu- pied standby modes, or for low speed operation. The controller can also receive a communicated outdoor air damper minimum po- sition from Tracer Summit. A com- municated minimum position from Tracer Summit has priority over all configured setpoints.

During the OCCUPIED mode the outdoor air damper will always be controlled to the effective mini- mum position unless ASHRAE Cy- cle I, ASHRAE Cycle II, or economizing modes are active.

ibrates the face-and-bypass damp- er to the full bypass position by overdriving the damper actuator. During normal operation, whenev- er the Tracer ZN.520 controller generates a face-and-bypass damper position request of zero or 100%, the unit calibrates the actu- ator by overdriving the damper ac- tuator 135%.

Sampling

Units with 4-pipe changeover and 2-pipe changeover require an en- tering water temperature to deter- mine if the appropriate water temperature is present for the re- quested mode (heating or cool- ing). This temperature may be communicated in an ICS system or hardwired to the Tracer ZN.520

Modulating Outdoor Air Operation

The Tracer ZN.520 controller oper- ates a modulating (3-wire floating) outdoor air damper actuator ac- cording to the effective occupan- cy, outdoor air temperature, space temperature, effective setpoint, discharge air temperature, and discharge air temperature set-
