Sequence of Operation For unoccupied zone setpoints, the UC400 has default values for heating and cooling and they are adjustable throughTracer™TU. 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 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 unoccupied heating or cooling setpoint (configurable once the unit determines that there is a request for cooling through the BAS orTracer™TU).
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 Table 46, p. 51 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) Demand Limit Operation sampling The controller supports a communicated request for demand limiting operation of the compressor and supply The controller will sample the entering water temperature fan outputs. Demand limiting operates as follows: If the to determine proper control action for all units that utilize point is placed into the active state, the unit limits the a hard-wired entering water temperature indication.
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? •...

Troubleshooting WARNING Hazardous Service Procedures! The maintenance and troubleshooting procedures recommended in this section of the manual could result in exposure to electrical, mechanical or other potential safety hazards. Always refer to the safety warnings provided throughout this manual concerning these procedures. When possible, disconnect all electrical power including remote disconnects before servicing.

Troubleshooting Pressure transducer/controller For units with the plenum fan option, gravity will affect the diaphragm and consequently the pressure measurement value of the pressure transducer/controller. Note: This does not apply to units with the ECM fan/ motor option. If the CFM control does not seem to be performing as expected, the pressure transducer/controller may need to be reset.This procedure will have been performed at the factory and generally will not be needed in the field.
