Electric heat operation

Electric heat operation

The Tracer ZN521 supports both single-stage and two-stage electric heat. Electric heat is cycled on and off to maintain the discharge air tempera- ture at the active heating setpoint. Two-pipe changeover units with elec- tric heat use the electric heat only when hot water is not available. The use of both electric and hydronic heat is not supported.

Baseboard heat operation

When configured for baseboard heat output, the controller turns on base- board heat at 2.2°F (1.2°C) below the active heating setpoint, and turns off baseboard heat at 0.8°F (0.4°C) below the active heating setpoint. The range for activating the baseboard heat cannot be adjusted; however, the heating setpoint is configurable using the Rover service tool.

Baseboard heating is used most effectively when the discharge air tem- perature control high limit is set below 100°F (56°C). If this is done, the unit heat will maintain the temperature on light load days and the base- board heat will be enabled to maintain the temperature on heavier load days.

Dehumidification

The Tracer ZN521 supports a dehumidification feature. Dehumidification is possible if the following are present:

Mechanical cooling is available

The heating capacity is located in the reheat position

A zone humidity sensor is connected at AI4, or a relative humidity (RH) value is transmitted to the controller by a BAS.

The Space RH Setpoint is valid (configurable using the Rover service tool)

Dehumidification is enabled using the Rover service tool

The controller initiates dehumidification if the zone humidity exceeds the humidity setpoint. The controller continues to dehumidify until the sensed humidity falls below the setpoint minus the relative humidity off- set.

The controller uses cooling and heating capacities simultaneously to dehumidify the space. While dehumidifying, the controller maintains the zone temperature at the active setpoint.

Note:

Dehumidification is not available for face-and-bypass applica- tions, and cannot be used if the unit is in the unoccupied mode. Dehumidification disables the economizing function.
