Lochinvar PB501-1300 (M9) User Manual

For

Advanced microprocessors help multiple modulating
Power-Fins maintain comfortable and even temperatures
by continuously monitoring: the time it takes for the
system to rise or drop in temperature, the rate at which it
increases or decreases, and the deviation from set point.

Additional Power-Fins may be either added or subtracted
to keep up with the present demands on the system. This
process allows demand to be met with the most efficient
use of equipment, and eliminates peaks and valleys
typically seen with other sequencers.

Rotation Among Units

Sequences up to 12 Power-Fins with automatic rotation
among units to maintain precise set point control and
promote even wear on each Power-Fin unit. The Harmony
sequencer has three modes of rotation: Manual, First-
ON/First-OFF or Automatic at selected time periods
from every hour to every seven days. This allows you to
pick the optimum schedule for your system. To ensure
that Power-Fins are never turned off at maximum firing
rate, the Harmony Sequencer backs the burner rate down
to the lowest setting before the units are shut down.

Prevents Short Cycling

The purge timer sets the minimum run time for any unit,
preventing short cycling. The Last Stage Hold setting
prevents short cycling even further. The user adjustable
range allows the system temperature to vary from the set
point before turning the last Power-Fin off. This reduces
stage unit cycling when there is minimal load requirements.

Energy Savings

The Harmony Sequencer has an optional stand-alone
hydronic outdoor temperature reset function, or it can be
connected to an existing outdoor reset control. For more
savings, the Harmony sequencer connects to energy
management systems and can be disabled when there is
no output requirement.

The Harmony sequencer saves energy by activating only
the minimum number of Power-Fins necessary to meet
the load requirements. Unlike other sequencers, it does
not bring all Power-Fins up to maximum firing rate and
then back them down. The sequencer will start the first

Power-Fin at its minimum firing rate and adjust the
input, as required, to any point between 25% and 100%
of the maximum firing rate. To prevent “overshooting”
the system’s required Btu input when additional heat is
requested; the sequencer will decrease the first
Power-Fin to its minimum firing rate before it starts
the second Power-Fin at its minimum firing rate.
When the sequencer determines that still more heat is
needed it will adjust the Power-Fin’s input in 0.5%
increments until the system’s required Btu input is
matched. The sequencer’s built-in setback capability
will also lower the set point when less system input

is required.

Easy to Follow Digital Display

The Harmony sequencer’s digital display shows the
precise value of each system parameter. Its easy to
follow menu allows users to quickly make changes to
any system setting without having to learn any
specialized codes or keyboard commands. Password
protection is available to prevent unauthorized users
from making adjustments to control settings.
