The dap4 continues the tradition of advanced electronic devices from Data Aire for monitoring and control of computer room air conditioning units which began in 1977. Each generation has provided more accurate monitoring information and flexibility in controlling the unit. The dap4 offers the definite answer for precision environmental control. The dap4 control system not only controls and monitors temperature, humidity, airflow and cleanliness, it provides component run times, alarm history and an automatic self-test of the microprocessor. All messages are sequentially displayed on a backlit LCD (liquid crystal display).

The modulation of the CW valve will be based on whichever has HIGHER demand for CW valve to open. For example, if dewpoint requires the CW valve to open 20% and humidity requires the CW valve to open 50%, as a result, CW valve will open 50%.
Page 75
Alarms System with Variable Speed Compressor Data Aire gForce Ultra DX series unit can be equipped with a variable speed compressor or a combination of a variable speed compressor and a fixed speed scroll compressor. In these types of unit, Dap4 controller will modulate the VFD of the variable speed compressor using a 0-10VDC signal to maintain either return air temperature setpoint or supply (discharge) air temperature set- point.
Page 76
When return air temperature = Temperature setpoint + temperature deadband variable speed compressor starts and ramp up to maximum speed. For instance: SP = 72, DB = 2. Compressor will be on at 74°. Variable speed compressor will then use PI (Proportional and Intergral) control algorithm to main the setpoint. Proportional band is the same as deadband. The Intergral band is programmed in Factory settings menu.
Page 77
For instance: SP = 72, DB = 2, STS = 0.3. Compressor will be on at 74.3 deg. Return air temperature is dropping (Off cycle): Fixed speed compressor C2 turns off when return air temperature drops below temperature setpoint – STS band (default STS band=0.3 deg F) for duration of C2 off delay (default =5s).

The Energy Saver/Auxiliary Chilled Water Cooling logic will be the same and compressor rules for short-cycle time will not be violated. Low discharge temperature alarm limit must be set in menu K-Alarms & Limits. If Discharge temperature drops below this limit, compressors will be inhibited for at least 15 minutes and discharge temperature rises above this limit. If discharge temperature drops below the limit while the variable speed compressor finishing its minimum runtime the CW should close until discharge temperature rises above the limit.
Page 80
If variable speed compressor C1 runs at the minimum speed for a period of time, it will automatically ramp up to the maximum speed for one minute to maintain the minimum compressor oil level. The temperature may drop slightly during this override period. Compressor cycles on and modulate as follows: Discharge air temperature is rising (On cycle): When discharge air temperature rises to temperature setpoint + temperature DB (deadband), variable speed compressor C1 will start and operate at its minimum speed.
Page 81
Once fixed compressor C2 started, the variable speed compressor C1 will operate at minimum speed for duration of Delay Modulation. Delay modulation is programmed in Compressor/factory settings menu. Discharge air temperature is dropping (Off cycle): Fixed speed compressor C2 turns off when discharge air temperature drops to the temperature setpoint – C2 offset. Variable speed compressor C1 turns off when discharge air temperature drops to temperature setpoint –...
Page 82
The Energy Saver/Auxiliary Chilled Water Cooling logic will be the same as the chilled water cooling logic of the discharge air temperature control, this means dap4 uses a preset PID loop to control the CW valve to maintain a discharge air temperature setpoint. Low discharge temperature alarm limit must be set in menu K-Alarms & Limits. If Discharge temperature drops below this limit, compressors will be inhibited for at least 15 minutes and discharge temperature rises above this limit.
Page 83
If dehumidification is programmed for “1C in limit” or “2C in limit” the dehumidification cooling will be inhibited by reheat if the return air temperature drops below Temperature Setpoint - Temperature DB - 2deg F. Dehumidification will be inhibited until the return air temperature rises above the Temperature Setpoint. Compressor short-cycle time will not be violated. If dehumidification is programmed for “1C No Limit” or “2C No Limit”, dehumidification remains on until the humidity setpoint is reached. In this mode, dehumidification has priority and overcooling is disregarded. The reheat sequence will remain the same. There is a one (1) minute delay between stop-to-start of dehumidification cooling.
Page 84
Dehumidification cycles on If unit is not in cooling mode, C1 variable speed compressor turns on when humidity is at Humidity Setpoint + Humidity Deadband then runs at its minimum speed (0V). C1 compressor will modulate from 0% to 100% in 0.1% RH increment (10% speed for each 0.1% RH).

If unit is in cooling mode during dehumidification cycle and dehumidification mode is set to “1C in limit”, the cooling control (By temperature setpoint) will override the dewpoint control. If dehumidification mode is set to “1C No Limit”, unit will continue to finish the dewpoint control cycle then reverse to the cooling control. Dehumidification cycles off - Dewpoint is dropping Variable speed compressor C1 starts to ramp down in 0.1 % decrement when dewpoint drops to high dewpoint Setpoint – high dewpoint deadband. Compressor will run at minimum speed (0V) when dewpoint is at high dewpoint setpoint –...

AUTOMATIC FLUSH CYCLE for CHILLED WATER or HOT WATER COILS If 100 hours elapses and the chilled water or hot water valve has not opened for normal cooling or heating, the valve will automatically open for 30 seconds to flush the coil. The display module will not display a message indicating the flush cycle is in progress. HUMIDIFIER AUTO-FLUSH TIMER CONTROL 1. Humidifier auto-flush timer is optional. The auto-flush timer is only available on units with infra- red humidifiers. 2. The auto-flush timer is programmable (See Menu J – Factory Settings). 3. The auto-flush cycle takes 11 minutes. The sequence is as follows: • For the first four minutes the drain solenoid is opened and humidification is inhibited (the display module will have the following message: Humidification Inhibited by Auto-Flush).

NO AIRFLOW ALARM 1. When no airflow is detected via the air flow switch or current sensing relay, the cooling, re- heat, humidification and dehumidification functions are locked out until the alarm condition is corrected. Menu K – Alarms and Limits, allows adjustment of the alarm delay from 5 to 180 seconds in 5 second increments. Adjustment is to minimize false alarms due to air turbulence. 2. On chilled water units a “FAN FAILURE” alarm is included in addition the NO AIRFLOW ALARM.
