Fan Mode Operation - Trane FC Installation & Operation Manual

Fan Mode Operation

For multiple fan speed applications, the
Tracer ZN520 controller offers additional
fan configuration flexibility. Separate
default fan speeds for heating and cooling
modes can be configured. The fan runs
continuously for requested speeds (off,
high, medium, or low). When the fan
mode switch is in the Auto position or a
hardwired fan mode input does not exist,
the fan operates at the default configured
speed. See Table 21 for default fan
configuration for heat and cool mode.
During unoccupied mode, the fan cycles
between high speed and off with heating
and cooling fan modes. If the requested
speed is off, the fan always remains off.
During dehumidification, when the fan is
on Auto, the fan speed can switch
depending on the error. Fan speed
increases as the space temperature rises
above the active cooling setpoint.
Additional flexibility built into the control-
ler allows you to enable or disable the
local fan switch input. The fan mode
request can be either hardwired or
communicated to the controller. When
both are present, the communicated
request has priority over the hardwired
input. See Tables 22, 23, and 24.

Continuous Fan Operation
During occupied and occupied standby
modes, the fan normally is on. For
multiple speed fan applications, the fan
normally operates at the selected or
default speed (off, high, medium, or low).
When fan mode is auto, the fan operates
at the default fan speed.
During unoccupied mode, the controller
controls the fan off. While unoccupied, the
controller heats and cools to maintain the
unoccupied heating and cooling setpoints.
In unoccupied mode, the fan is controlled
on high speed only with heating or
cooling.
The unit fan is always off during occupied,
occupied standby, and unoccupied modes
when the unit is off due to a diagnostic or
when the unit is in the off mode due to the
local zone sensor module, a communi-
cated request, or the default fan speed
(off).
If both a zone sensor module and
communicated request exist, the commu-
nicated request has priority.
Fan Cycling Operation
Tracer ZN520 does not support fan
cycling in occupied mode. The fan cycles
between high speed and off in the
unoccupied mode only. The controller's
cascade control algorithm requires
continuous fan operation in the occupied
mode.
Fan Off Delay
When a heating output is controlled off,
the Tracer ZN520 controller automatically
holds the fan on for an additional 30
seconds. This 30-second delay gives the
fan time to blow off any residual heat
from the heating source, such as a steam
coil. When the unit is heating, the fan off
delay is normally applied to control the
fan; otherwise, the fan off delay does not
apply.
