5.3 CONSTANT SETPOINT MODE

The Constant Setpoint mode is used when a fixed header temperature is desired. Common
uses of this mode of operation include water source heat pump loops, and indirect heat
exchangers for potable hot water systems or processes.
No external sensors are required to operate in this mode. While it is necessary to set the
desired setpoint temperature, it is not necessary to change any other temperature-related
functions. The unit is factory preset with settings that work well in most applications. Prior to
changing any temperature-related parameters, other than the setpoint, it is suggested that an
AERCO representative be contacted. For descriptions of temperature-related functions and
their factory defaults, see Appendices A and E.
