2. Main Controller Operation

2.1.

Control Type - Thermostat

The M3 unit controller will operate the system from a wired thermostat, room sensor, zoning system using L Connection
Zoning System based on the System Mode selected in SETTINGS > CONTROL > CONTROL TYPE = WIRED
THERMOSTAT. The default control type is wired thermostat.
Direct Digital Control (DDC) applications use thermostat mode for two- or three-stage cooling and two-stage heating.
Units are shipped from the factory configured for control type using a wired thermostat. The M3 unit controller will operate
two-stages of heating and cooling based on the thermostat Y1, Y2, W1, W2, G, and OCP (occupied) demands.
2.1.1.

Cooling Stages

The M3 unit controller allows five different staging options:
Go to SETTINGS > RTU OPTION > EDIT PARAMETER =111 (COOL STAGING OPTION)
Option 0. No cooling operation
Option 1. Two Cooling Stages: Y2 demand brings on all mechanical stages of cooling during economizer
operation.
Option 2. (Default) Two Cooling Stages: Cooling operation is shown in table 2. Y2 demand brings 1/2 or 2/3
mechanical stages of cooling during economizer operation.
Option 3. Three Cooling Stages: Cooling operation is shown in table 3; this option requires the use of a
three-stage cool thermostat and a K27 relay. See wiring pictorial in figure 2 and C section control wiring diagram.
Option 4. Discharge Air Control Up to Four Stages: Discharge Air Control Cooling (DACC) option automatically
cycles up to 4-stages of cooling to maintain a discharge air temperature within specific tolerances of discharge air
control cooling set point (occupied or unoccupied). See parameters 180 and 181.
TO PROVIDE THREE COMPRESSOR STAGES.
REQUIRES 3 HEAT, 3 COOL THERMOSTAT AND K27 RELAY.
