Sequence of Operation For unoccupied zone setpoints, the UC400 has default values for heating and cooling and they are adjustable ® through Tracer During normal operation, the compressor and supply fan When multiple setpoint sources are available (local and outputs modulate to maintain the space temperature at BAS), the controller will use the following logic for the user-selected space temperature setpoint(s).
Sequence of Operation occupied heating or cooling setpoint. Occupied mode is communicated value. The default value for the supply fan the default mode of the UC400 controller. mode is continuous. Unoccupied Mode Supply Fan Mode: Cycling When the controller is in Unoccupied mode, the unit will For active cooling, heating operation, the supply fan will attempt to maintain the space temperature at the stored be commanded ON and will ramp up to minimum speed...
Sequence of Operation Unit Mode Arbitration are provided through the BAS, arbitration is used to determine the active mode as follows: Manual Mode Determination Refer to the following table to determine the unit operating mode based on communicated heat cool mode request Any BAS request for AUTO mode or any other values: enumeration for the heat cool mode request object that...
Sequence of Operation Entering Water Temperature (EWT) Unoccupied Cooling and Heating Sampling Operation The controller will sample the entering water temperature The unit will control the zone temperature to the active to determine proper control action for all units that utilize unoccupied setpoints during unoccupied periods.
Pre-Start Checklist Before energizing the unit, the following system devices must be checked: • Is the high voltage power supply correct and in accordance with the nameplate ratings? • Is the field wiring and circuit protection the correct size? • Is the low voltage control circuit wiring correct per the unit wiring diagram? •...
