Control Functions

The controller is designed to control fan coil systems with up to three fan speeds. The fan speeds may be controlled to run manual or automatic. In automatic mode, the controller will change fan speeds according to the t emperature difference of room temperature and setpoint.

Setpoint

• Minimum and Maximum Set Point Limits: Limits the adjustable range of the loop set point. The limits for heating and cooling sequence may be chosen individually.

Control Sequence

• 4-pipe or 2-pipe system: 4-pipe systems use one heating and one cooling stage. Heating and cooling mode will switch according to demand. A delay is implemented to prevent unnecessary switching between heating and cooling mode: Heat – Cool change over delay.

• Economy set point shift X

heating set point W shift X

• Dead Zone Span X

change the heating or cooling set points within adjustab le limits.

• Switching Hysteresis: Defines the difference between switching on and switching off of an output. A small hysteresis will increase the number of switching cycles and thus the wear on associated equipment.

• Delay OFF: Prevents a too short running cycle for the heating or cooling stage by setting a minimum running time. Delay OFF applies to all heating and cooling stages.

• Delay ON: Prevents a too short stopping cycle for heating or cooling stage by setting a minimum stopping time. Delay ON applies to all heating and cooling stages.

• Step by step switching: In order to reduce the startup load of large fan motors, fan stages will be switched on and off step by step, going through low and medium before activating high fan sp eeds.

• Fan Off delay: In case heating or cooling has been active and the unit is switched off or reached the set point, a 60 seconds fan off delay is activated to prevent over heating of a heating stag e or condensation on a cooling coil.

• Mold Protection. The fan will not stop when the setpo int is reached while this parameter is activated. This way the room will still be ventilated although there is no need to vary the temperature. The valve will still be controlled according to temperature need. The fan will still switch off once the unit is set to OFF.

Output Configuration

Two options are available: 3-point or binary.

3-point output

If 3-point is selected a 3-point actuator may be driven. The actuator has an open input and a close input. Applying power to the Open input will drive the valve or damper open, applying power to the close input will drive the valve or damper to the closed position.

The running time of the actuator may be preset. We recommend to enter the maximum running time under maximum load in order to make sure that the valve can fully close and fully open in any circumstance. In order to open the valve or damper DO4 will be activated for the preset amount of time. After the expiration of the running time DO4 and DO5 will be OFF. The valve is closed by activating DO5 for the preset amount of time.

Binary output

Two devices may be controlled in case the 3-point actuator setting is OFF. DO4 will control a heating and DO5 a cooling device.
