Primary Modulating Heat with Secondary
Staged Heat
The Modulating Heat source can be Modulating Gas, Modulating
Hot Water, Modulating Steam, or SCR Electric Heat. In this case
the Modulating Heat will be the first form of heat used and will
e to attempt to achieve the Active Supply Air Heating Setpoint.
If the modulating heat reaches 100%, the Heating Stage Up
Delay begins. If the Primary Heat Source is still at 100% after
the Heating Stage Up Delay expires, the Secondary Heat Source
will activate. The Primary Heat Source can then modulate as
necessary to achieve the Active Supply Air Heating Setpoint. If
there are additional stages of heat, they will stage up as described,
with the Primary Heat Source modulating as necessary.
If the Secondary Heat Source is activated and the Primary Heat
Source has modulated to 0%, the Heating Stage Down Delay
will begin. If the Primary Heat Source is still at 0% after the
Heating Stage Down Delay expires, the Secondary Heat Source
will deactivate. If there are multiple stages of Secondary Heat,
they will stage off in the same manner. Then, if the Supply Air
Temperature rises above the Active Supply Air Heating Setpoint
plus the Heating Stage Control Window, the Primary Heat Source
will modulate to 0% to allow the Supply Air Temperature to
cool off.
Ventilation Mode
This mode is only available in the Occupied Mode of operation
on units configured for continuous Supply Fan operation and is
generated anytime there is no demand for heating or cooling.
The fan will operate at the configured Minimum Vent speed.
Off Mode
Off Mode occurs in the Unoccupied Mode when there is no
heating or cooling demand. The Supply Fan is off and the outside
air damper is closed.
Off Mode can only occur in the Occupied Mode if the fan is
configured to cycle with heating and cooling and there is no call
for heating or cooling.
Remote Contact Control
A Remote Contact Control option can be configured on the
VCCX2 Controller to initiate the HVAC Modes of operation.
If this option is configured, all Heating, Cooling, and
Dehumidification modes will only be initiated based on 24 VAC
wet contact closures on the Forced Heating, Forced Cooling, and
Forced Dehumidification inputs on the VCCX2 Controller. This
is a single configuration option that applies to all three modes.
If both the Forced Heating and Forced Cooling inputs are inactive
or if both are simultaneously active, then the unit is in Vent Mode
state. In this condition in the Occupied Mode, only the fan would
be on for ventilation. In this condition in the Unoccupied Mode,
the unit would just be off.
If Forced Dehumidification is also being used, it will operate
in conjunction with the Forced Heating and Forced Cooling
inputs according to which Dehumidification option you have
configured. The four configuration options are described in the
Dehumidification Mode section on
page 74
.
Space Sensor Operation
Space Sensors are available as a Plain Sensor, Sensor with
Override, Sensor with Slide Adjust, and Sensor with Override
and Slide Adjust (this is the version that is factory supplied).
An E-BUS Digital Space Sensor is also available with override
and setpoint adjustment capability.
Sensors with Slide Adjust can be programmed to allow Space
Setpoint adjustment of up to ± 10° F.
If the Space Temperature is the SAT/Reset Source, then the Slide
Adjust will adjust the HVAC Mode Enable Setpoints and the
SAT/Reset Source Setpoints simultaneously.
During Unoccupied hours, the Override Button can be used to
force the unit back into the Occupied Mode (by pressing the
button for less than three seconds) for a user-defined override
duration of up to 8.0 hours. Pressing the button between three
to 10 seconds cancels the override.
