COOLING MODE DIAGNOSTIC HELP — To quickly de-
termine the current trip points for the cooling modes, the Run
Status sub-menu at the local display allows the user to view the
calculated start and stop points for both the cooling and heating
trip points. The following sub-menu can be found at the local
display under Run Status
TRIP. See Table 46.
The controlling temperature is "TEMP" and is in the middle
of the table for easy reference. The HVAC mode can also be
viewed at the bottom of the table.

SUMZ COOLING ALGORITHM — The SumZ cooling algo-
rithm is an adaptive PID which is used by the control whenever
more than 2 stages of cooling are present (C.TYP = 1,2,3, and
5). This section will describe its operation and define its param-
eters. It is generally not necessary to modify parameters in this
section. The information is presented primarily for reference
and may be helpful for troubleshooting complex operational
problems.
The only configuration parameter for the SumZ algorithm is
located
at
the
local
COOL
Z.GN. See Table 36.
Capacity Threshold Adjust (Z.GN) — This configuration is
used on units using the "SumZ" algorithm for cooling capacity

control (Configuration
affects the cycling rate of the cooling stages by raising or
lowering the threshold that capacity must overcome in order to
add or subtract a stage of cooling.
The cooling algorithm's run-time variables are located at
the local display under Run Status
Current Running Capacity (C.CAP) — This variable rep-
resents the amount of capacity in percent that is currently
running.
Current Cool Stage (CUR.S) — This variable represents the
cool stage currently running.
Requested Cool Stage (REQ.S) — This variable represents
the cool stage currently requested by the control.
Maximum Cool Stages (MAX.S) — This variable is the max-
imum number of cooling stages the control is configured for
and capable of controlling.
Active Demand Limit (DEM.L) — If demand limit is active,
this variable will represent the amount of capacity that the
control is currently limited to.
Capacity Load Factor (SMZ) — This factor builds up or
down over time (–100 to +100) and is used as the means of
adding or subtracting a cooling stage during run time. It is a
normalized representation of the relationship between "Sum"
and "Z."
Next Stage EDT Decrease (ADD.R) — This variable rep-
resents (if adding a stage of cooling) how much the tempera-
ture should drop in degrees depending on the R.PCT calcula-
tion and exactly how much additional capacity is to be added.
ADD.R = R.PCT * (C.CAP — capacity after adding a cooling
stage)
For example: If R.PCT = 0.2 and the control would be
adding 20% cooling capacity by taking the next step up,
0.2 times 20 = 4 F (ADD.R).
