  • Page 13: Startup Sequence

    Startup Sequence Under normal conditions, the Symbio 700 will startup over approximately 60 seconds once power is applied to the system. During this process, the controller checks that a valid system configuration is present and proceeds to normal control operation. After startup, the system will begin to respond to operational requests.

  • Page 14: Conventional Thermostat Sequence Of Operation

    Conventional Thermostat Sequence of Operation When the Precedent system is configured to operate with a conventional thermostat, the controller provides protection for the system (see General Support Sequence section) and continues to provide insight to operating conditions. A conventional thermostat can be applied with CVZT and single zone VAV configured systems.

  • Page 16: Space Temperature Control

    Space Temperature Control System Types of VVZT and CVZT operate to provide space comfort heating and cooling. A system mode wired input or Heat Cool Mode Request input determines the heating or cooling mode of operation. If a heat cool system mode input is not provided, the Symbio™ 700 operates per Heat Cool Mode Request default value, Auto is the default setting.

  • Page 17: Single Zone Vav - Cooling

    Space Temperature Control space temperature and discharge air temperature sensor are required input. If the discharge air temperature input becomes invalid, the control automatically reverts to Single Loop Space Temperature Control. Symbio™ 700 operates in Single Loop Space Temperature Control in heating modes when staged gas heat and staged electric heat are configured.

  • Page 18: Cool - Economizer

    Space Temperature Control Cool — Economizer If the unit is configured for a modulating outdoor air damper and conditions are suitable for economizer cooling, the supply fan will operate at minimum speed while the economizer damper modulates between the Outdoor Air Damper Minimum Position Setpoint and 100% to satisfy the discharge air temperature setpoint.

  • Page 19: Variable Volume Discharge Air Control Sequence Of Operation

    Variable Volume Discharge Air Control Sequence of Operation Variable Volume Discharge Air (VVDA) control uses available heating and cooling capacity to deliver the required temperature at the discharge of the unit. A discharge air temperature sensor is required for operation. In cooling modes, the control uses cooling sources to deliver air temperature as required by the Discharge Air Cooling Setpoint.

  • Page 20: Duct Static Pressure High Limit

    Variable Volume Discharge Air Control Sequence of Operation controller will modulate supply fan speed to maintain Duct Static Pressure relative to the Duct Static Pressure Setpoint. Duct Static Pressure High Limit The controller operates the supply fan to maintain duct static pressure below the Duct Static Pressure High Limit setpoint.

  • Page 21: Heat Cool Modes

    Heat Cool Modes Heat Cool Mode Status reports the unit mode of operation. The Symbio™ 700 can receive mode inputs from different external and local input sources that are arbitrated; however, the control active operating mode represents the capacity being delivered to the building and reported via Heat Cool Mode Status. The following modes of operation are supported.

  • Page 22: Space Temperature Control

    Morning Warm-up mode can also be commanded via Heat Cool Mode Request from a building automation system or external control. The Symbio 700 controller will continuously control space temperature to the morning warm-up setpoint until the mode is released or changed.

  • Page 23: Vvda

    Pre-Cool mode will terminate. Pre-Cool mode can also be commanded via Heat Cool Mode Request from a building automation system or external control. The Symbio 700 controller will continuously control space temperature to the Pre-Cool setpoint until the mode is released or changed.
  • Page 24 Heat Cool Modes Active. The supply fan operates at max speed on Constant Volume Units. Variable air volume discharge air control units will operate the supply fan to the duct static pressure setpoint and report Heat Cool Mode Status as Heat, if the installed heat type allows modulating air flow. Else if the heat type requires full air flow, Maximum Heat is reported.

  • Page 25: Dehumidification - Hot Gas Reheat

    Dehumidification — Hot Gas Reheat Dehumidification control is a mode of Cooling when hot gas reheat is configured with a modulating reheat valve. Symbio™ 700 supports two configurable dehumidification methods: Dew Point (default) or Relative Humidity control for occupied and unoccupied operation. All unit types require a valid space relative humidity, space temperature, discharge air temperature sensor and Evaporator Entering Refrigerant Temperature for dehumidification operation.

  • Page 27: Heat Types

    Heat Types Two heating types are supported, staged electric and staged gas heat. Space temperature control variable speed and multi-speed fan units will increase supply fan speed with increased heating capacity. Multi-Zone VAV units with staged heat will always operate the supply fan at full airflow, see Maximum Heat, in Heat Cool Modes section for details.

  • Page 28: Outdoor Air Damper Control

    Outdoor Air Damper Control Economizer Cooling Symbio™ 700 supports a 0 to 100% economizer damper which requires a discharge air temperature sensor to be installed for economizer cooling. There are four configurable economizer types: fixed dry bulb, differential dry bulb, reference enthalpy, and comparative enthalpy. Each type, enable, and the high limit disable criteria are defined as follows.

    Outdoor Air Damper Control Remote Minimum Position Control With an installed Customer Connection Module and Remote Minimum Position is configured in the Symbio™ 700, a wired potentiometer can be used to adjust the outdoor air damper minimum position setpoint in the range of 0 to 50%. The setting is reported via Remote Minimum Position. If Remote Minimum Position input and Demand Controlled Ventilation is installed, the Remote Minimum Position provides the minimum damper position setpoint at full fan capacity.
