Introduction
This manual describes the sequences of operation for MicroTech controlled AAF-HermanNelson unit ventilators equipped with air source heat pump (ASHP) heating and cooling, and supplemental electric heating. Unit ventilators with this heating and cooling configuration will be AAF-HermanNelson model AED, AEQ.
Regardless of the AAF-HermanNelson model type, the Unit V entilator Controller (UVC) provided with these units uses program UV1***.
For more information on the MicroTech Unit Ventilator Controller, refer to Bulletin No. IM613, “MicroTech Unit Ventilator Controller.”
General Information
Software ID
The Unit Ventilator Controller Software must be compatible with the unit ventilator heating and cooling configuration. The software is identified by a program code and “software model” number printed on a small label attached to the controller. Model AE with ASHP heating and cooling uses program UV1***. The first wild card character defines the UVC communication type as follows: S = stand-alone, M = master / slave, and N = network code. The last two wild card characters denote the software version (numeric) and revision le vel (alphabetical) respectively . Program UV1*** comprises only one software model: MDL00.

Setpoints
Most UVC setpoints are either “hardware” or “software” adjustable. Hardware adjustable means there is an on-board potentiometer used for adjustment. Software adjustable means a PC equipped with Monitor software and proper cable connection is required to make an adjustment. Default software adjustable values are shown on the sequence charts. Hardware adjustable values shown on the charts are for example only. Several UVC setpoints are defined by offsets relative to other setpoints. Table 1 summarizes these setpoints and offsets.

Control T emperature
In order to maintain more stable room temperature control, the MicroTech Unit Ventilator Controller (UVC) uses the concept of a “Control Temperature.” The Control Temperature is a weighted v alue equal to 19/20 room temperature and 1/20 discharge air temperature.

Program: UV1*** Software Model: MDL00
Occupied or Tenant Override Operating Mode
The supply fan will run continually in the occupied or tenant override operating modes.
When the UVC is first energized it will perform a self-calibration procedure upon the OA damper actuator . The calibr ation procedure will take approximately 5 minutes to perform during which time the supply fan will not operate.
The UVC provides a compressor minimum on time of 2 minutes and a minimum off time of 3 minutes.
If enabled, an outdoor air lockout setpoint has been pro vided to force the OA damper to close when the OA temperature goes below the OALO setpoint (software adjustable). This feature is typically used only on valve control hydronic heat and or hydronic cool units. This feature is disabled by default in UV Model 00.
If provided, the optional ventilation lock out feature can ov erride UVC temperature control and keep the OA damper closed as required.
If provided, the optional exhaust fan output will energize when the OA damper opens and de-energize when the OA damper closes.
If provided, the optional auxiliary heat output will operate a normally open device. The auxiliary output will energize (close the device) when the Control Temperature is abov e the OHS. The auxiliary output will de-energize (open the device) when the Control T emperature is
o
3
F below the OHS.
The same UVC output is used for both the auxiliary heat output feature and the exhaust f an output f eature . Therefore , both f eatures cannot be used together.
Note: When switching from unoccupied-to-occupied mode the OA damper will remain closed for the first 5-minutes of occupied operation.
Morning Start
If the space is cool and heating is required, the unit will operate as described in “Heating Operation” belo w. The outdoor air (OA) damper will remain closed until the Control Temperature rises to within 3 of the OHS setpoint. Then it will be opened to minimum position.
If the space is warm and cooling is required, the unit will operate as described in “Cooling Operation” below. If the outdoor air is not suitable for free cooling, the OA damper will remain closed until the Control Temperature falls to within 3
o
F of the OCS setpoint. Then it
will be opened to minimum position.
o
Cooling Operation
Certified Drawing
When the Control Temperature is greater than the OHS setpoint and less than the VCS setpoint, the O A damper will be held at its minimum position setpoint (hardware adjustable). As the Control Temperature rises and cooling becomes necessary, the UVC will decide whether the outdoor air is suitable for free cooling by comparing the outdoor air temperature (dry bulb) to the VCLO setpoint.
If the OA temperature is less than or equal to the VCLO setpoint, the economizer will modulate as required to maintain the VCS setpoint (default = 2
o
F less than OCS). The Control T emper ature will rise if the outdoor air is too warm to satisfy the cooling load. If the OA damper is more than 85% open, mechanical cooling will be energized when the Control Temperature rises to the OCS setpoint.
If the OA temperature is warmer than the VCLO setpoint, mechanical cooling will be energized when the Control Temperature rises to the OCS setpoint. The OA damper will be held to the minimum position setpoint, except when the OA temperature is warmer than the VCLO setpoint and the Control Temperature is 3
o
F or more above the OCS.
In this unlikely situation, the OA damper will be closed. Once the compressor is energized, the start-to-stop (minimum on)
timer will override normal temperature control maintaining compressor operation for the minimum on time. The compressor will be de­energized when the Control Temperature f alls below the OCS setpoint.
Note: Regardless of the economizer state, its operation is subject to discharge air low limit control.
Note: During normal (non-alarm) operation, the compressor will be disabled if any of the following conditions exist:
OA temperature less than the CCLO setpoint
Discharge air temperature less than the DXLL setpoint
Stop-to-start (minimum off) timer has not expired
Emergency heat mode active
Heating Operation
When the Control Temperature is greater than the OHS setpoint and less than the VCS setpoint, the OA damper will be held at its minimum position setpoint.
If the Control Temperature f alls to 1
o
F greater than the OHS setpoint, the reversing valve will be energized in preparation for mechanical (heat pump) heating.
The compressor will be energized when the Control Temperature falls to 1
o
F below the OHS setpoint. Once the compressor is energized, the start-to-stop (minimum on) timer will override normal temperature control maintaining compressor operation for the minimum on time. The compressor will be de-energized when the Control Temperature rises above the OHS setpoint.
Normally, supplemental electric heat is enabled when the OA temperature drops below the EHLO setpoint. It can also be enabled by the emergency heat, defrost cycle, or “v ent cooling” discharge air low limit functions. If the electric heat is enabled and the Control Temperature drops to 2
o
F below the OHS setpoint, the two or three (optional) stages of electric heat will be energized as required. A “stage-up” interstage dela y timer (default = 30 seconds) must expire before each subsequent stage is energized. When the Control Temperature rises to 1
o
F below the OHS setpoint, the electric heat stages will be de-energized using a “stage-down” interstage delay timer (default = 30 seconds).
F
The OA damper will maintain its minimum position when the Control Temperature is within 3
o
F of the OHS. If the Control Temperature
falls to 3oF or more below the OHS, the OA damper will be closed. When heating is no longer required and the Control Temperature
rises to 2 energized. Note that in addition to the 1
o
F above the OHS setpoint, the re v ersing valve will be de-
o
F offset between the
compressor and reversing v alve de-energization points, a time dela y
OM 101-1 / Page 3 (Rev. 7/99)
(default = 60 seconds) will prevent the compressor and reversing valve from de-energizing simultaneously. The timer is set when the compressor is de-energized.
Note: During normal (non-alarm) operation, the compressor will be disabled if any of the following conditions exist:
Stop-to-start (minimum off) timer has not expired
Emergency heat mode active
Unoccupied Operating Mode
The outdoor air damper will always be closed when the unit is in the unoccupied operating mode.
The indoor fan will remain off when the unit is in the unoccupied mode unless heating or cooling are required (see note below).
Note: During the unoccupied mode, if the fan remains off continually for 60-minutes, it will start and run for 5-minutes. During the unoccupied mode the indoor fan will also start and run if the DA temperature becomes greater than the room temperatures plus 12 and continue to run until the DA temperature is equal to or less than the room temperature plus 7
o
F.
Cooling Operation
The fan and compressor will be energized when the Control Temperature rises to the UCS setpoint (nee note below).
Once the compressor is energized, the start-to-stop (minimum on) timer will override normal temperature control maintaining compressor operation for the minimum on time. The compressor will be de-energized when the Control Temperature f alls below the UCS setpoint.
The fan will also be de-energized when the Control Temperature falls below the UCS setpoint; however, it is interlocked so that it will not stop before the compressor stops.
Note: During normal (non-alarm) operation, the compressor will be disabled if any of the following conditions exists:
OA temperature less than the CCLO setpoint (59
o
F, fixed)
Discharge air temperature less than the DXLL setpoint
Stop-to-start (minimum off) timer has not expired
Emergency heat mode active
Heating Operation
If the Control Temperature f alls to 1
o
F greater than the UHS setpoint, the reversing valve will be energized in preparation for mechanical (heat pump) heating.
The fan will be energized when the Control Temperature f alls belo w the UHS setpoint.
The compressor will be energized when the Control Temperature falls to 1
o
F below the UHS setpoint. Once the compressor is energized, the start-to-stop (minimum on) timer will override normal temperature control maintaining compressor operation for the minimum on time. The compressor will be de-energized when the Control Temperature rises above the UHS setpoint.
Normally, supplemental electric heat is enabled when the OA temperature drops below the EHLO setpoint. It can also be enabled by the emergency heat or defrost cycle functions. It the heat is enabled and the Control Temperature drops to 2
o
F below the UHS setpoint, the two or three (optional) stages of electric heat will be energized as required. A “stage-up” interstage delay timer (default = 30 seconds) must expire before each subsequent stage is energized. When the Control Temperature rises to 2
o
F above the UHS setpoint, the electric heat stages will be de-energized using a “stage-down” interstage delay timer (default = 30 seconds). If the Control Temperature is between the stage-up and stage-down points, no staging action will occur .
The fan will be de-energized when the Control Temperature rises above the UHS setpoint; however, it is interlocked so that it will not stop before the compressor and all electric heat stages are off.
o
When heating is no longer required and the Control Temperature rises to 2
o
F above the UHS setpoint, the reversing valve will be de­energized. Note that in addition to the 1oF offset between the compressor and reversing v alve de-energization points, a time delay (default = 60 seconds) will prevent the compressor and reversing valve from de-energizing simultaneously. The timer is set when the compressor is de-energized.
Note: During normal (non-alarm) operation, the compressor will be disabled if any of the following conditions exist:
Stop-to-start (minimum off) timer has not expired
Emergency heat mode active
Emergency Heat Mode
The emergency heat mode is initiated by depressing the momentary ,
unit-mounted emergency heat switch. When the unit is in the emergency heat mode, the following actions occur:
Compressor is immediately de-energized and locked out
F
Reversing valve is de-energized after delay (default = 60
seconds)
Electric heat is staged to maintain the room heating setpoint
(OHS or UHS) regardless of entering water temperature
The unit ventilator can be returned to normal operation by cycling power to the UVC.
Defrost Cycle
The defrost cycle will prevent frost from building up on the outdoor coil when the unit is in heating mode. It is initiated by an external defrost control which provides a maintained contract closure to the UVC when defrost is required. When the unit is in the defrost cycle , the following actions occur:
Reversing valve is de-energized (unit enters “cooling” cycle)
Electric heat is staged to maintain the room heating setpoint
(OHS or UHS) regardless of outdoor air temperature
Compressor cannot be de-energized by room temperature
control until defrost control opens its contacts
When the defrost control opens its contacts, normal operation will resume. The e xternal defrost control determines the start and length of the defrost cycle.
External Defrost Control Operation
When the compressor is energized, the defrost control will be enabled. The defrost control will then start a 90-minute timing cycle after which it will check the outdoor coil temperature. If the coil temperature is 28
o
F or less at the end of any timing cycle, the defrost control will de-energize the outdoor coil fan, provide the defrost cycle contact closure to the UVC, and set a 10-minute timer.
The defrost control will open its contacts and end the defrost cycle when either the coil temperature rises to 55
o
F or the 10-minute timer expires.
Discharge Air Low Limit Control
There are two discharge air low limit functions: the “DX cooling” low limit and the “vent cooling” low limit. The vent cooling low limit function prevents the discharge air (DA) temperature from falling below the VCLL setpoint whenever mechanical cooling is not necessary; when mechanical cooling is necessary , the vent cooling low limit function is disabled. The DX cooling low limit function pre vents the DA temperature from falling below the DXLL setpoint whene ver the compressor is on.
Vent Cooling Low Limit (Mechanical Cooling Inactive)
If the DA temperature falls below the VCLL setpoint, the following sequence will occur:
1. The OA damper modulates toward (or remains at) minimum
position
2. If the actual OA damper position is less than or equal to the
minimum setpoint, the electric heat will stage up as required to prevent the D A temperature from f alling below the VCLL setpoint.
OM 101-1 / Page 4 (Rev. 7/99)
The stage-up interstage delay timer (default = 30 seconds) must expire before each subsequent stage is energized
3. If the OA temperature is less than or equal to the VCLO setpoint and the DA temperature remains below the VCLL setpoint af­ter all electric heat stages have been energized (unlikely), the OA damper will be closed
If the DA temperature rises to the VCLL setpoint at any time, the above sequence will be executed in reverse until normal operation resumes. (Electric heat stages will be de-energiz ed using the stage­down interstage timer.)
Note: The vent cooling discharge air low limit function is disabled during the unoccupied mode.
DX Low Limit (Mechanical Cooling Active) If the DA temperature falls below the DXLL setpoint, the following
will occur:
1. The compressor is immediately de-energized
2. The DXLL wait timer is set (default = 2 minutes). The v ent cooling low limit function is disabled during the DXLL wait time period
If the DA temperature rises abov e the VCLL setpoint bef ore the timer expires, normal operation will resume.
If the DA temperature remains below the VCLL setpoint until the timer expires, the v ent cooling low limit function will be enabled (see above).
Safeties
High Pressure
A normally closed refrigerant high pressure switch is provided to detect refrigerant high pressure conditions. The high pressure s witch cut out is 400 psig +/– 10 and the cut in is 300 psig +/– 20. When the UVC detects high pressure conditions the following will occur:
The compressor will be immediately de-energized
The “High Pressure” fault will be indicated by the UVC
If the switch remains open or the fault remains active (when
manual reset is required) and heating is required, electric heat will stage as needed to maintain the current heating setpoint
When the alarm conditions are gone, the fault will automatically reset with the first 2-occurrences allowing operation to return to normal. If a third fault occurs within 1-week the fault must be manually reset by cycling power to the UVC after the alarm conditions are gone.
Certified Drawing
Cycling power after the third fault resets this sequence.
Low DX Coil Temperature
A normally closed low temperature switch is provided to detect low refrigerant temperature conditions within the indoor air coil. The low temperature switch cut out is 30 When the UVC detects the possibility of low temperatures for longer than 5-seconds (fixed) the following will occur:
The compressor will be immediately de-energized
The “Low DX Coil T emperature” fault will be indicated b y the UVC
If the switch remains open or the fault remains active (when manual reset is required) and heating is required, electric heat will stage as needed to maintain the current heating setpoint
When the alarm conditions are gone, the fault will automatically reset with the first 2-occurrences allowing operation to return to normal. If a third fault occurs within 1-week the fault must be manually reset by cycling power to the UVC after the alarm conditions are gone. Cycling power after the third fault resets this sequence.
Brownout
If the UVC detects low line voltage conditions that persist f or at least 10 seconds (2 seconds for electric heat), the compressor and all electric heat stages will be immediately de-energized and the “Brownout” fault will be indicated. The brownout alarm setpoint is equivalent to approximately 85% of the nameplate voltage value.
The Brownout fault will automatically reset when the line voltage remains at or above 90% of the nameplate v alue for at least 5 minutes.
Note: The four brownout parameters above are PC adjustable, however, it is recommended that they not be changed.

F +/– 4 and the cut in is 50o F +/– 6.
