Standard Menu Structure
UnitStatus= is a status only item which indicates the state of operation in which the unit is
currently operating. The unit can be in any of the operating states shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4: State Diagram
The transition from any operating state to another is also graphically represented in this figure.
With a “start up” command from an Off State the unit will always go into the “Start Up” state
of operation for 3 minutes. Next, it will transition into the “Recirculation” state of operation
for another 3 minutes before finally going into the Fan Only state of operation. Then, based on
sensor inputs it will go into any of the 4 remaining states of operation - heating, cooling,
economizer, or minimum discharge air heating.
OpStatus= is a status only item which indicates the operating status of the unit. This menu
item will indicate why the unit is running or why the unit is off.
Ctrl Mode= is an adjustable item which allows the unit to be set for off, auto heating/cooling
operation, cooling only, heating only, and fan only.
Clg Status= is a status only item which indicates whether or not cooling (economizer and/or
mechanical) is currently allowed. If cooling is disabled, the reason is indicated.
Htg Status= is a status only item which indicates whether or not heating is currently allowed.
If heating is disabled, the reason is indicated.
EconoStatus= is a status only item which indicates whether or not the economizer is enabled
Clg Capacity= is a status only item which indicates the percentage of the unit maximum
cooling capacity currently operating.
Htg Capacity= is a status only item which indicates the percentage of the unit maximum
heating capacity currently operating.
OA Damper Pos= is a status only item which indicates the percentage that the outdoor
damper is currently open.
EmergMode= is a status only item which indicates if the unit was shut down in an emergency
situation.
Appl Mode= is a network adjustable item which indicates that the unit is set for network off,
cooling only, heating only, fan only or auto heating/cooling operation via a network signal.
This item has no affect on the unit operation unless the Ctrl Mode= item is set to “Auto”.

Duct Pressure
The Duct Pressure menu provides a summary of the duct pressure items and parameters
associated with variable air volume (VAV) fan control units. This menu is only available on
VAV units. The supply air fan speed in controlled by a VFD that is mounted in the control
cabinet. The control parameter for the fan speed is the duct static pressure setpoint. If the duct
static pressure is below the duct static pressure setpoint by more than ½ the deadband, the fan
speed will increase. Likewise if the duct static pressure is above the duct static pressure
setpoint by more than ½ the deadband the fan speed will decrease. Example - if the duct static
pressure setpoint is 1.2" and the deadband is 0.1", the duct static pressure must reach 1.14
before the fan will increase in speed.

Heating
The Heating menu provides a summary of the control parameters for units with heating. The
unit's heating mode of operation is controlled by the control temperature and the heating
setpoint temperature. The unit goes into the heating mode of operation by analyzing the
control temperature. The control temperature can be either the return temperature or the space
temperature. The return temperature is typically used for VAV units and the space temperature
is typically used for CAV units. The unit goes into the heating mode of operation when the
control temperature (return or space temperature) is below the heating setpoint by more than ½
the deadband. Example - If the heating setpoint is 68.0°F and the deadband is 1.0°F, the unit
will not go into the heating mode of operation until the control temperature reaches 67.4°F.
When this occurs the heating mode of operation will begin and the 1st stage of heating
operation will start. The next stage up/down will take place after 4 minutes. This “4 minutes”
is called the stage timer. The gas heat module will continue to stage up as long as the control
temperature is below the heating setpoint by more than ½ the heating setpoint deadband. The
unit will stage down if the maximum discharge air temperature is reached. Units with one gas
valve have 2 stages of heating and units with two gas valves have 4 stages of heating.

Zone Cooling
The Zone Cooling menu provides a summary of the cooling control parameters for units with
constant air volume control only. These units are equipped with the space comfort control
(SCC) software.
The unit's cooling mode of operation is controlled by the control temperature and the cooling
setpoint. The control temperature for a CAV unit is typically the space temperature. A space
temperature sensor must be field installed into the occupied space and connected to the unit
controller. The unit goes into the cooling mode of operation when the control temperature
(space temperature) is above the cooling setpoint by more than ½ the deadband. Example - the
cooling setpoint is set to 70.0°F and the deadband is 1.0°F, the unit will not go into the cooling
mode of operation until the space sensor reaches 70.6°F. When this takes place the cooling
mode of operation will begin and the 1st stage of compressor operation will start. The unit
controller will turn on the next stage of compressor operation, or turn off a stage of
compressor operation, to maintain the cooling setpoint temperature within the deadband.
When a compressor stage turns on, the next compressor stage up or down will not take place
for the next 4 minutes. This “4 minutes” is called the stage time. Reference the Cooling Setup
menu for the adjustable stage time value. When a cooling stage is initiated no further operation
will take place within the stage timer limit. In the above example the unit will stage down or
turn off the cooling mode of operation when the cooling setpoint reaches 69.4°F.

the discharge air temperature and will not allow operation below the Min DAT Spt.
Disch Cooling
The Discharge Cooling menu provides a summary to the cooling control parameters for units
with variable air volume (VAV) control. These units are equipped with the discharge air
control (DAC) software.
The unit's cooling mode of operation is controlled by the control temperature, the change over
temperature and the discharge air temperature. The unit goes into the cooling mode of
operation by analyzing the control temperature. The control temperature for a VAV system is
the return temperature. The unit goes into the cooling mode of operation when the control
temperature (return temperature) is above the change-over setpoint by more than ½ the
deadband. Example - If the change over temperature is 70.0°F and the deadband is 1.0°F, the
unit will not go into the cooling mode of operation until the return temperature reaches 70.6°F.
When this takes place the cooling mode of operation will begin and the 1st stage of
compressor operation will start. The unit controller will turn on the next stage of compressor
operation, or turn off a stage of compressor operation, to maintain the discharge air
temperature setpoint within the deadband. When a compressor stage turns on, the next
