Note
It is important for commissioning engineers and installers to read this commissioning guide
carefully before starting to configure and commission the OJ AHC-3000 system.
This commissioning guide provides valuable information which must be followed if the OJ
AHC-3000 system is to work ideally and provide maximum comfort while minimising energy consumption.
This commissioning guide is intended to be used by the following individuals:
• The manufacturer/AHU producer
• The commissioning engineer
• The system integrator
• The installer
• The service technician
• The daily user – see www.ojelectronics.com
1. Introduction
The ACH-3000 from OJ Electronics A/S is an intelligent and at the same time simple-to-use
controller for air handling units. The OJ ACH-3000 system can control one air handling unit and, when connected in a network, it is possible to control and monitor up to 25 air handling units from a single controller and HMI* display. *=Human Machine Interface
This commissioning guide provides valuable information when commissioning an ACH-3000 air
handling unit at the factory. After the air handling unit is installed in the building, the installer and/or system integrator will also find essential information in this guide to get the air handling unit to work ideally and provide maximum comfort with minimum energy consumption.
It is crucial that anyone who is in contact with the ACH-3000 system, – manufacturers, installers,
service technicians and system integrators – must read this commissioning guide thoroughly before starting to commission the AHC-3000.
For the manufacturer
The AHC-3000 has been developed with the aim of making the AHU controller set-up as easy and
user-friendly as possible. The AHC-3000 has a number of pre-configured most frequently used AHU applications. The configuration and settings are simple and easy to make using the hand-held HMI display.
For the commissioning engineer
Commissioning, setting the operation schedulers and optimising the energy of the AHC-3000 on-
site is done very easily from the HMI touch display.
For the installer
For the installer on-site, all internal cabling, wiring and configurations have already been made at the
factor. Therefore, all you need to do is supply the AHC-3000 AHU with power.
For the system integrator
The OJ AHC-3000 is one of the most flexible systems on the market in terms of BMS system
integration. Standard features worth mentioning: The Modbus RTU & TCP/IP is built-in. The associated protocols can be downloaded from www.ojelectronics.com.
For the service technician
On the AHC-3000-T, all service settings and software updates can be done from a smartphone.
For the user
The AHC-3000 has several interfaces, such as: OJ-Cloud, Bluetooth, AHC-3000 app, HMI-20T room
touch display and the HMI-35 touch display from where the daily user can change temperature and operation settings and receive alarms. Basic settings are password protected.

INSTRUCTIONS Commissioning guide for AHC-3000
8.1 Fire alarm This fire alarm is detected on a digital fire input on the AHC-3000 controller. The signal may possibly come from an automatic fire detection system (AFD) or an external fire
thermostat placed in the duct system.
If the digital input (fire alarm) detects the fire alarm (fire alarm = open contact), the AHU will enter
fire mode and the fan speed will assume the status selected in parameter “Supply fan speed” /“Exhaust fan speed” (see fig. 8.3).
If a 0% fan speed is selected in both parameters, the AHU will stop and the dampers will close.
8.2 AHU internal fire alarm This fire alarm uses the supply air and exhaust-air temperature sensors in the AHU to detect a fire
alarm. If the current value of the “Supply temperature” or “Extract temperature” is beyond the setpoint (see fig. 8.3), the AHU will go into fire alarm mode and emit a fire alarm: “A” alarm. This fire alarm will stop the fans.
9. Balancing
This function allows the installer to maintain a constant fan speed during the air-distribution
adjustment of, for instance, the manual dampers in a CAV application.
Selecting “Lock fan” will set the fan speed at the current value. The fans will remain at this speed for eight hours – and the system will automatically return to normal
operation after this period of time has elapsed.
If the balancing job is finished before time runs out, you can manually return the function to “Normal
operation”.
Info: Frost protection of the water heating coil is active during the balancing function – the normal
temperature control is active.

19.8 Zero-calibrating the pressure transmitters
To eliminate the deviation of zero
point measurement when the pressure
transmitters are without pressure, it is
possible here to start the procedure for
the 0-calibration of all the system pressure
transmitters.
All installed modbus pressure transmitters in
the configuration will be zero calibrated.
Zero calibration will be made automatic at
each stop or manually via the“0-CALIBRATE
PRESSURE” button.
Auto 0-calibration The 0-calibration will be made every time the AHU is in “Stop”. Either the stop signal is made
manually from the user interface (HMI-35-T) or the AHU is stopped via a signal from the time
scheduler. When the AHU is stopped and the pressure transmitters do not measure any turbulence in
the pressure tubes, the 0-calibration will start.
Manual 0-calibration Press “0-CALIBRATE PRESSURE” to start the 0-calibration.
During manual 0-calibration, the AHU will stop if it is running.
When the 0-calibration has finished, the AHU will start again according to the operation conditions, scheduler, override function, boost mode or similar.

20.1 Temperature control loop settings
• If the control of the supply air oscillates, it may be necessary to
change the parameter settings in the temperature control loop.
• The available parameters are the P-band and I-time.
• Normal these parameters are OK from the factory.
• If a control sequence such as “Constant supply” or “Constant supply/
extract di.” is selected, the P-band and I-time in the “Supply” section will be active and may be changed if the temperature oscillates more than is acceptable.
• If a control sequence such as “Constant extract” or “Constant room is
selected, the P-band and I-time in the “Extract” section are active and may be changed if the temperature oscillates more than is acceptable.
Flow down function
• If the temperature cannot be reached even though the heat exchanger
AND the heating are 100% open, the air flow will be reduced to 50% of the air flow setpoint
Basics on the temperature control sequence:
Fault on the sensor = Output will take half of the fault on the P-band as a ”here-and-now-reaction”.
The velocity of the second half of the P-band will be cut in or cut out using the I-time. The calculation
and recalculation of the fault are on-going calculations.
If the temperature oscillates more than is
acceptable, the first thing to change is the
P-band and/or the I-time.
A higher P-band and I-time will give a slower
reaction on the output, and a slower reaction
on the output will increase the stability of the
temperature control. Not all oscillations can be resolved by changing
the P-band and I-time.
For instance, in a water-based heating system, the dierential pressure over the valve is important.
P-band and I-time cannot save the world??.
If the dierential pressure over the valve is very high (more than 0.1 bar or 1.0 mH2O) it may not be
possible to create a stable temperature control only adjusting the P-band and/or the I-time. If dierential pressure over the valve is higher than mentioned AND it is not possible to a stable
temperature control via adjusting the P-band and I-time, you must lower the dierential pressure over
the valve.

The AHU can have dierent operating modes:
Stop o The system is stopped outside the configured operation periods. The frost protection of heating
coils remains active and the pump and valve motioning also remains active. √ Low: the system will run at low speed outside the configured operating periods. Medium: the system will run at medium speed outside the configured operating periods. High: the system will run at high speed outside the configured operating periods. Extended stop: the system will be stopped outside the configured operating periods.
However: o The system is stopped outside the configured operating periods. Frost protection of heating
coils remains active and the pump and valve motioning also remain active. o Summer night cooling will be active and the function will start the system if the preconditions for
doing so are fulfilled. o The system can be started manually via the start signal: ”High speed” (boost speed).
The properties should be configured first (see the next page for how to do this). Under properties, set the active period for daily schedule and the AHU operating mode when the
schedule shows a no-operating mode. Operation mode means that the system assumes that the calendar programme is outside the configured operating periods such as the daily schedule and the exceptions, holiday periods, etc., that have also been set up.
We call this period “fall-back speed” = the speed of the fans when the AHU is outside all other
operating modes.
