INSTALLATION OUNTING INSTRUCTIONS Open the latch and lift the cover. Remove the black caps located on each of the four mounting holes. Mount the enclosure on the wall using four screws. Be sure the electrical knockouts are at the bottom of the enclosure in order to prevent water from entering the controller.
ST 5220 OTOR TYPES The relationship between the voltage supplied to a motor and its operating speed is described by a motor curve. This curve varies with the make and capacity of the motor. The various motors available in the industry have been divided into five categories and the controller has been programmed with a different motor curve for each of these categories.

VENTILATION SETTINGS OOLING OPERATION The ST 5220 controls two stages of variable-speed fans (Stages 1 and 2) and two optional stages of constant-speed fans (Stages 3 and 4«««). The last cooling stage can also be configured as a mist stage. QM 1336.rev.01...
Page 25
ST 5220 If room temperature rises: • When room temperature < Set Point, stage 1 fans run at minimum speed according to the minimum ventilation cycle. • At Set Point: stage 1 fans stop operating according to the minimum ventilation cycle and increase in speed as the room temperature rises.
ST 5220 INIMUM VENTILATION CYCLE When the room temperature is below the set point, the Stage 1 fans operate according to the minimum ventilation cycle. Running the fans even though ventilation is not required for a cooling purpose is useful to reduce humidity levels and supply oxygen to the room.
Page 27
ST 5220 Adjusting Stage 1 Minimum Speed The minimum speed can be adjusted between 10 and 100% of the full speed of the fans. Set the selection knob to STAGE 1 — MINIMUM SPEED/CURVE. The current minimum speed for Stage 1 flashes on the display. Use the adjustment knob to ad- just the minimum speed to the de- sired value.
ST 5220 ENTILATION SETTINGS Adjusting the Stage 1 Bandwidth The Stage 1 bandwidth is the tempera- ture interval within which the Stage 1 variable speed fans increase or de- crease in speed proportionally to the temperature (see the diagram above). When this value is adjusted, all the starting values for consecutive stages are adjusted by the same amount.
Page 29
ST 5220 Adjusting Stage 2 Bandwidth The Stage 2 bandwidth is the temperature interval within which the Stage 2 variable speed fans increase or decrease in speed proportionally to the temperature (see the diagram above). The bandwidth can be adjusted between 0.5°F and 20.0°F (0.3°C and 11.1°C).
Page 30
ST 5220 Adjusting the Stage 4 Starting Temperature The Stage 4 starting temperature is the temperature at which the Stage 4 fans start running (see the diagram above). The hysteresis is fixed at 1.5 F and determines when the fans return to a stop. The difference between the starting temperature and the stage 3 starting temperature can go from 0.5°F to 20.0°F (0.3°C to 11.1°C).
ST 5220 INIMUM VENTILATION SPEED CURVE The user can define a minimum ventilation speed curve to adjust the Stage 1 minimum speed automatically over a given time period. Each curve is defined by six points. Each point specifies a day number and a fan speed for that day.
