Parameter Description
Range
Default
CP 00
Minimum set point limit in heating mode
0-60°C (32-160°F)
16°C (61°F)
CP 01
Maximum set point limit in heating mode
0-60°C (32-160°F)
30°C (86°F)
CP 02
Minimum set point limit in cooling mode
0-60°C (32-160°F)
18°C (65°F)
CP 03
Maximum set point limit in cooling mode
0-60°C (32-160°F)
30°C (86°F)
CP 04
Economy (unoccupied) Mode temperature shift:
The comfort (occupied) set point is shifted by the value set with
parameter. If heating is active the comfort set point will be
decreased, if cooling is active, the set point will be increased.
(Enable with UP06.)
0-100°C (200°F)
5.0°C (10°F)
CP 05
Dead Zone Span (TCY-MT4-U only):
The Dead Zone Span lies between the heating and the cooling
set point. The output is off while the temperature is within the
dead zone span. A negative dead zone is not possible.
0-100°C (200°F)
1.0°C (2°F)
CP 06
Heat/Cool Changeover Delay (TCY-MT4-U only):
A demand to switch between heating and cooling must persist
for the length of time set with this parameter before the
controller switches. Prevents activation of a sequence during a
short-term change in temperature in order to protect
equipment(with control overshoot for example)

Proportional control (P-band)
The proportional control function calculates the output based on the difference between set point and measured value.
The proportional band (P-band) defines the difference between set point and measured value which will result in a
100% output. For example, with a heating or reverse 0-10v control sequence, and a 2.0°C (4.0°F) P-band value, at
10v the controller will be 2.0°C (4.0°F) below set point. This is the working range of the proportional control
sequence.
Setting the proportional band to 0 disables proportional control.
Integral and differential control
Proportional control is a very stable control mode. The flaw of proportional control alone, however, is that the set
point is normally not reached. As the measured value gets closer to the set point, the output reduces until it reaches
a point, a fraction above or below the set point, where the output equals the load. To reach the set point and achieve
a higher level in comfort the Integral/Differential function should be activated.
Integral gain (KI)
dynamically increases the output by the selected KI value until the set point is reached. The
challenge, however, is to prevent hunting, where the output increases too fast, the temperature overshoots the set
point, the output goes to 0, the temperature undershoots the set point, and the cycle repeats itself. Hunting may
result if the integral gain is too high. Each system is different. It is recommended to start with a KI value of 0.5 for
water based systems and 1.0 for air based systems. Reduce this value if the measured value overshoots the set point
by more than 1°C (2°F). Increase the value if the output takes too long to reach the set point. Air based systems
react faster than water based systems.
Setting the integral gain to 0 disables integral and differential control.
