look for a cont act closure whenever the Supply Fan Relay
is on. If it is not enabled then it will always be the same
state as the Supply Fan Relay. The cooling, economizer,
heat ing, dehumidification, CO
2
and power exhaust
routines wil l use this input point for fa n status.
Cooling
The com pressor outputs are controlled by the Cooling
Control PID Loop and Cooling Stages Capacity algorithm.
They will be used to calculate the desired number of
stages needed to satisfy the space by comparing the Space
Temperature (SPT) to the Occupied Cool Setpoint plus the
T56 slider offset when occupied and the Unoccupied Cool
Setpoint (UCSP) plus the T56 slider offset, if unoccupied.
The economizer, if available, will be use d for cooling in
addition to the compressors. The following conditions
must be true in order for thi s a lgorithm to run:
S Indoor Fan has been ON for at least 30 seconds.
S Heat mode is not active and the time guard between
modes equals zero.
S If occupied and the SPT >(occupied cool setpoint plus
the T56 slider offset).
S Space Temperature reading is available.
S If it i s unoccupie d and t he SPT > (unoccupied cool
setpoint plus the T56 slider offset). The indoor fan will be
turned on by the staging algorithm.
S If economizer is available and active and economizer
open > 85% and SAT > (SAT low limit + 5_F) and SPT >
effective setpoint + 0.5_F.
OR
Economizer is available, but not ac tive
OR
Economizer is not available
S OAT > DX Lockout temperature.
If all of the above conditions are met, the compressors
will be energized as required, otherwise they will be
de--energized.
There is a fixed 3-- minute minimum on time and a
5--minute off time for each compressor output and a
3--minute minimum time delay between staging up or
down.
Any time the compressors are running the RTU--MP will
stage down the compressors if the SAT becomes less than
the cooli ng low supply air setpoint.
After a compressor is staged off, it may be started again
after a normal time--guard period and the supply air
tempera ture has increased above the low supply air
setpoint.
Economize r
The Economizer dampers are used to provide free cooling
and Indoor Air Quality, if optional CO
2
sensor is installed,
when the outside conditions are suitable.
The following conditions must be true for ec onomizer
operation:
S Indoor Fan has been on for at least 30 seconds.
S Enthalpy is Low if the Enthalpy input is enabled.
S SAT reading is available.
S OAT reading is available.
S SPT reading is available.
S OAT <= High OAT economizer lockout configuration
(default = 75).
S OAT <= SPT
If any of the mentioned conditions are not true, the
economizer will be set to its configured minimum
position. The minimum damper position can be
overridden by the IAQ routi ne described later in this
section.
If the above conditions are true, the Economizer Control
Master Loop will calculate a damper position value based
on the following calculation:
Damper Position = minimum position + PID (SPT -- econ
setpoint). Econ setpoint is half way between the effective
cool and heat setpoint s. If the SAT drops below the
cooling low supply air setpoint (+ 5_F), the economizer
will ramp down to minimum position.
Power
Exhaust
If RTU -- MP is also controlling an exhaust fan, it can be
enabled based on damper position or by occupancy. If
configured for c ontinuous occupied operation, it will be
energized whenever the controller is in the occupied mode
and disabled when in the unoccupied mode. If configured
for damper position control, it will be energized whenever
the economizer exceeds the power exhaust setpoint and
disabled when the economizer drops below the setpoint by
a fixed hysteresis of 10%.
Heating
The heating outputs are controll ed by the Heating Control
PID Loop and Heating Stages Capacity algorithm. They
will be used to calculate the desired number of stages
needed to satisfy the space by comparing the SPT to the
Occupie d Heat Set point plus the T56 slider offset when
occupi ed and the Unoccupie d Heat Setpoint plus the T56
slider offset if unoccupied. The following conditions must
be true in order for t his algorithm to run:
S Indoor Fan has been ON for at least 30 seconds.
S Cool mode is not active and the time guard between
modes equals zero.
S If occupied and SPT <(occupied heat setpoint plus T56
slider offset)
S SPT reading is available
S If it i s unoccupie d and the SPT < (unoccupie d hea t
setpoint plus T56 slider offset). The indoor fan will be
turned on by the staging algorithm.
S OAT < High OAT lockout temperature.
If all of the above conditions are met, the heating outputs
will be energized as required, otherwise they will be
de --energized. If t he SAT begins to exceed the high supply
air setpoint, a ramping function will cause the Heat Stages
Capac ity algorithm to decrease the number of stages until
the SAT has dropped below the setpoi nt.
There is a fixed one minute minimum on time and a one
minute off time for each heat output. Heat staging has a 3
minute stage up and 30 second stage down delay.
Indoor Air
Quality
If the optional indoor air quality sensor is installed, the
RTU-- MP will maintain indoor air quality within the space
at the user configured different ial setpoint. The setpoint is
