SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS Scheduling & Operation Modes Scheduling Supply Air Cooling Mode (Based on HVAC Unit SAT) Occupied/ Unoccupied Mode This mode occurs when the Supply Air Temperature The VAV/Zone Controller monitors the communications loop for falls to less than the Space Temperature minus the its Occupied and Unoccupied mode of operation command.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS VAV/Zone Occupied Mode Sequences Night Minimum When the HVAC unit is in the Supply Air Cooling Mode, the damper is normally held at the Minimum Cooling Position until This is the position that the damper moves to during the Unoc- the Space Temperature begins to rise above the Occupied Cool- cupied mode.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS VAV/Zone Occupied Mode Sequences Space Heating Mode Modulating ( Proportional) Heat Occupied Space Heating mode is initiated by the temperature in The VAV/Zone Controller Package with the Zone Controller the space falling to within 0.5ºF of the Occupied Heating Setpoint. Expansion Module provides an analog output for control of a Modulating Hot Water Valve or SCR Electric Heater.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS VAV/Zone Unoccupied Mode Sequences Series Flow Fan Terminals When the HVAC unit is in the Unoccupied Supply Air Cooling Mode, the damper will be held at the Night Minimum Position If the VAV/Zone Controller has been confi gured as a Series Fan until the Space Temperature begins to rise above the Cooling Powered terminal unit, the series fan relay will activate and run Setpoint.
