Control Strategy
The first question in the mixed air single path question/answer path
(Figure 50) asks you to select the control strategy. The available
strategies are:
Room Control
Room Control of Cooling, Room Reset of Heating
Supply Air Reset from Zone Temperature (Mixed Air)
Return Air Control
Constant Discharge Air Temperature
Supply Air Reset from Return Temerature
The following provides information on each of the six available

strategies.
Room Control
The Room Control strategy uses the zone temperature to directly
control each controlled device (Figure 3). As the zone temperature
decreases into the heating proportional band, the system commands the
preheat (if selected and sequenced) and heating devices in sequence.
As the zone temperature increases above the zone cooling setpoint, the
system controls the outdoor air damper (if selected and sequenced) and
mechanical cooling device in sequence. As the zone temperature
travels through the various proportional bands, the output to the
associated controlled device ranges from 0 to 100%. Integration may
be added to this control loop to eliminate the inherent offset associated
with proportional only control.

Room Control of Cooling, Room Reset of Heating

This control strategy uses the zone temperature to reset a discharge air
heating setpoint and directly control the cooling device (Figure 4). As
the zone temperature increases above the zone cooling setpoint, the
system controls the outdoor air damper (if selected and sequenced) and
mechanical cooling device in sequence. As the zone temperature
travels through the proportional band, the output to the associated
controlled device ranges from 0 to 100%.
The controller calculates a discharge heating setpoint based on the
input heating reset schedule. The discharge heating low limit
establishes a calculated discharge setpoint when the zone temperature
first enters the zone heating proportional band. The system adds the
discharge heating reset band to this low limit. This value is the number
of degrees the discharge setpoint changes as the zone temperature
decreases through the zone heating proportional band.
The discharge sensor then controls and sequences the preheat
(if selected and sequenced) and heating device as the discharge
temperature decreases below the calculated discharge setpoint.
Integration may be added to this control loop to eliminate the inherent
offset associated with proportional only control. The heating device
will remain active when cooling is locked out based on the outside air
temperature. This maintains a discharge heating low limit even when
the zone temperature is in the cooling proportional band.

Supply Air Reset from Zone Temperature (Mixed Air)

The supply air reset from zone temperature strategy resets the
discharge air setpoint for heating and cooling (Figure 5).
The zone proportional band is divided by two and each half is active
above and below the zone setpoint. As the zone temperature varies
away from the zone setpoint within the zone proportional band, it
calculates the actual discharge setpoint based on a discharge low limit
and discharge reset band.
This strategy uses a discharge sensor to control heating and cooling
around the actual discharge setpoint. It controls and sequences the
preheat (if selected and sequenced) and heating devices as the
discharge temperature decreases below the actual discharge setpoint
minus the heating deadband.
The discharge sensor also controls the outside air damper (if selected
and sequenced) and mechanical cooling device as the discharge air
temperature increases above the actual discharge setpoint plus the
cooling deadband. Integration may be added to this control loop to
eliminate the inherent offset associated with proportional only control.

Return Air Control

The return air control strategy uses the return air temperature to
directly control each controlled device (Figure 6). This strategy
commands the preheat (if selected and sequenced) and heating devices
in sequence as the return air temperature decreases below the return
setpoint minus a heating deadband. As the return temperature increases
above the return air setpoint, the return air control strategy controls the
outdoor air damper (if selected and sequenced) and mechanical
cooling devices in sequence. As the return air temperature varies
through the heating and cooling proportional bands, the output to the
controlled device ranges between 0 to 100%.

Constant Discharge Air Temperature

The constant discharge air temperature strategy uses the discharge air
temperature to directly control each controlled device (Figure 7). It
commands, in sequence, the preheat (if selected and sequenced) and
heating device as the discharge air temperature decreases into the
heating proportional band. As the discharge temperature increases
above the discharge air setpoint, the system controls the outdoor air
damper (if selected and sequenced) and mechanical cooling devices in
sequence. As the discharge temperature varies through heating and
cooling proportional bands, the output to the controlled device ranges
between 0 to 100%.

Figure 9: 100% Outside Air Single Path Schematic

Question/Answer Path
The questions and answers for 100% Outside Air Single Path (OASP)
are identical to those for Mixed Air Single Path (MASP), with a few
exceptions:
100% OASP provides exhaust air temperature control, instead of

return air control as in MASP.
Supply air reset from exhaust temperature is not available for

100% OA units, as supply air reset from return temperature was
available for MASP units.
The supply air reset from zone temperature is unique for 100%
OA.
There is no economizer section for 100% OA control, so when

finished with this section, see the Heat Recovery for 100% Outside
Air Applications section.

As the zone temperature rises into the zone cooling proportional band,
it calculates a discharge setpoint based on a discharge cooling low

calculated based on a discharge heating low limit and discharge

Control Strategy
The first question in the mixed air dual path or 100% outside air dual
path question/answer path (Figures 52 and 53) asks you to select the
control strategy. The available strategies are:
Multizone Hot/Cold Deck Reset
Dual Duct Hot/Cold Deck Reset
Multizone Zone Control
Dual Duct Zone Control
The following provides information on each of the four available

strategies.
Multizone Hot/Cold Deck Reset or Dual Duct Hot/Cold Deck
Reset
This control strategy controls typical multizone or dual duct type air
handlers (Figure 12). It uses the temperature from the warmest and
coldest zone, and calculates a cold deck and hot deck setpoint through
a cold and hot deck reset schedule respectively. The cold deck setpoint
and the cold deck discharge temperature controls the outdoor air
damper (if sequenced with cooling) and mechanical cooling device in
sequence. The hot deck setpoint and the hot deck temperature control
the heating device.
When a preheat device is selected, it will be controlled as a Separate
Mixed Air Closed Loop. It is recommended that the preheat setpoint
be a value lower than the cold deck low limit.

Figure 12: Multizone Hot/Cold Deck Reset or Dual Duct Hot/Cold Deck Reset
Reset Schedule
The four input parameters of each reset schedule determine the reset
schedule for the cold and hot deck. The hot zone high limit, hot zone
reset band, cold deck low limit, and cold deck reset band establish the
cold deck reset schedule. The system uses the warmest zone
temperature to calculate the cold deck setpoint through this reset
schedule.
The cold zone high limit, cold zone reset band, hot deck low limit and
hot deck reset band establish the hot deck reset schedule. The system
uses the coldest zone temperature to calculate the hot deck setpoint
through this reset schedule. The coolest and warmest zone
temperatures are individual analog inputs. Zones that are not the
warmest or coolest control their zone damper through separate control
loops outside of this sequence.
Cold Deck Control
If the system is mixed air dual path, the outdoor air damper and
mechanical cooling device are in sequence. As the cold deck
temperature rises above the calculated cold deck setpoint and enters
the economizer proportional band, the economizer dampers will
modulate from minimum position to 100% open (if economizer is
enabled). The cold deck cooling deadband is added to the cold deck
setpoint and establishes the cold deck temperature value at which the
mechanical cooling proportional band begins. An alternate cooling
deadband is used when Econ mode is not available. As the cold deck
temperature rises through the cold deck proportional band, the
mechanical cooling device will modulate from 0 to 100% open.
22
The system controls the outdoor air dampers from minimum position
during the Occupied mode and from 0% during the Unoccupied mode.
It is possible to eliminate the operation of the outdoor air damper in
Unoccupied mode by setting the unoccupied economizer proportional
band equal to zero.
Hot Deck Control
The system controls the hot deck heating device when the hot deck
temperature is below the calculated hot deck setpoint. As the
temperature enters the heating proportional band, the output to the
controlled device will modulate from 0 to 100% open. Integration may
be added to this control loop to eliminate the inherent offset associated
with proportional only control.
Zone Mixing Damper Control
For satisfying the load in the space, the system requires zones that are
not the warmest or coldest to mix the hot and cold deck air streams.
This means that a separate closed loop must exist outside the AHU
controller to control each of the zone dampers.
Individual zone temperature control may be a pneumatic loop with a
T-4002 thermostat controlling the zone damper. The system brings the
multiple thermostats into a C-2220 high/low signal selector that selects
the zones with the greatest heating and cooling demands. The system
brings these signals out of the C-2220 and into two FM-IAP101-0s.
The FM-IAP101-0s convert the high and low pneumatic signals into
4 to 20 mA signals that connect into the AHU controller. HVAC PRO
can scale this signal internally to the sensitivity range of the T-4002
thermostat.*
* Refer to the Appendix D: Multizone Hot and Cold Deck Reset
Application Note in the Appendix section of the HVAC PRO Users
Manual, which explains how to set up the analog inputs for the
warmest and coolest zones.
Typically, on digitally controlled zones, a supervisory system like
Metasys Companion/Facilitator or Metasys Network Control Module
(NCM) is applied to select the warmest and coolest zones from the
zone controllers, and then globally share this data with the AHU.
23
Multizone Zone Control or Dual Duct Zone Control

This control strategy takes the warmest and coldest zone inputs and
directly controls the cold and hot deck respectively (Figure 13). It is
appropriate for direct zone control of dual duct and multizone systems.

Warmest Zone Control
The system controls the outdoor air damper (if selected and

warmest zone temperature rises above the calculated warmest zone
setpoint and enters the economizer proportional band, the economizer
dampers will modulate from minimum position to 100% open (if Econ
is enabled). The warmest zone cooling deadband is added to the
warmest zone setpoint and establishes the warmest zone temperature
value at which the mechanical cooling proportional band begins. An
alternate cooling deadband is used when Econ mode is not available.

band, the output to the controlled device will modulate from 0 to

not the warmest or coldest to mix the hot and cold deck air streams.
This means that a separate closed loop must exist outside the AHU
controller to control each of the zone dampers.
Individual zone temperature control may be a pneumatic loop with a
T-4002 thermostat controlling the zone damper. The system brings the
multiple thermostats into a C-2220 high/low signal selector that selects
the warmest and coldest zones. The system brings the warmest and
coldest zone signals out of the C-2220 and into two FM-IAP101-0s.
The FM-IAP101-0s convert the high and low pneumatic signals into
4 to 20 mA signals that connect into the AHU controller. HVAC PRO
scales this signal internally to the sensitivity range of the T-4002
thermostat.*
* Refer to the Appendix D: Multizone Hot and Cold Deck Reset
Application Note in the Appendix section of the HVAC PRO Users
Manual, which explains how to set up the analog inputs for the
warmest and coolest zones.
Typically, on digitally controlled zones, a supervisory system like
Metasys Companion/Facilitator or Metasys NCM is applied to select
the warmest and coolest zones from the zone controllers, and then
globally share this data with the AHU.

Heat Recovery for 100% Outside Air Applications

Heat Recovery Type
The first question in the heat recovery for 100% outside air
applications question/answer path (Figure 54) asks you to select the
heat recovery type. The available types are:
2-position Output from Analog Input Sensor
Run Around Glycol Loop
The following provides information on each of the available types.

2-Position Output from Analog Input Sensor
When the outdoor or discharge air temperature (user selectable via
question) decreases below the heat recovery setpoint, a maintained
binary output energizes, causing the 2-position heat recovery device
(Figure 14) to be on or open. When the temperature increases to a
value that is equal to the heat recovery setpoint plus the heat recovery
differential, the controller commands the heat recovery device off or
closed.
If the heat recovery control sensor becomes unreliable, the command
to the heat recovery device is off or closed. This control loop must
have proven airflow. Whenever the system loses airflow or when the
Shutdown mode is on, the system commands the heat recovery device
off or closed.

When you do not select an economizer strategy, the outdoor air
damper modulates from minimum position to 100% open to provide
cooling without switchover logic intervention. Unless free cooling
from outside air is available year around, this selection is usually not
valid (that is, the outdoor air dampers will open to provide cooling
even when the outdoor air has a high heat content).

Software (N2) Command

A binary data point is generated for a Facility Management System
(FMS) to command (Figure 18). One controller can determine
economizer changeover logic and report it to the FMS which can then
distribute the information to the other controllers on the network
through their binary data points. When economizer is commanded on,

If either the return temperature or return humidity becomes unreliable,
the outdoor air enthalpy is compared to a failsoft enthalpy of

This control strategy is part of the main control strategy selected at the

temperature controls this loop depending on your selection. When the
outdoor air temperature is below the outdoor air face and bypass
switchover setpoint, the controller commands the preheat valve to
100% open, while it modulates the face and bypass damper. As the
control temperature falls through the preheat proportional band, the
damper shall modulate from bypass (0%) to face (100%).
When the outdoor air temperature rises above the outdoor air face and
bypass switchover setpoint plus the outdoor temperature face/bypass

Sequencer - Number of Stages
The minimum on/off and interstage on/off timers can be adjusted once
for all stages or for each individual stage. Once it is on, the minimum
on timer keeps a stage energized for a minimum time period. Once it is
off, the minimum off timer does not allow a stage to be re-energized
for a minimum time period.
The interstage delay on and off timers prevent the next stage from
energizing or de-energizing until the interstage timer has expired. The
interstage on timer for Stage 1 controls the elapsed time before Stage 2
may be turned on. The interstage timer for Stage 2 must elapse before
Stage 3 may be turned on, and so on. The reverse is true for the
interstage off timers. The interstage on of the last stage has no effect,
and the interstage off of the first stage has no effect.
36
Use the cycles per hour adjustment to restrict the unit from over
cycling by providing a minimum time between starts. The cycle per
hour feature divides a one hour period into equal cycle intervals. A
value of six divides a one hour period into six, 10-minute intervals.
Once a stage is commanded on, ten minutes must elapse before
another on command is issued. Once a stage is turned off, it cannot be
turned on again until the cycle per hour interval and minimum off
timer are satisfied.
The starting point of the first stage can be adjusted to any value that is
5% or greater and less than the starting point of the second stage. The
command and starting point of each stage is based on the 0 to 100%
command into the sequencer, with the proportional division of the
number of stages over a 0 to 100% range.
When you select the first stage to start at 0%, the starting point of the
first stage defaults to the normal proportional division (that is, 3 stages
would start at 33, 67, and 100% commands).
You can override the preheat stages by commanding the
pseudo-analog output for preheat. This ensures a 0 to 100% override
value is used, keeping the timers inside the sequencing logic active.
Individual binary outputs are not eligible to be overridden when part of
a sequencer.
IMPORTANT: Staged outputs remain on for their defined minimum
on time, regardless of their commanded state.
When all stages must be turned off without delay, adjust the interstage
off time to 0. The minimum on timer can hold a stage on even though
the Shutdown mode or airflow interlock is active. Keep minimum on
timers at the smallest possible value or 0.
AHU controllers with C06 firmware or later and UNT (Unitary)
controllers with B00 firmware or later will utilize an Instant Off
feature. This feature will force all staged outputs off on loss of airflow
or shutdown regardless of timer conditions.

The system controls the modulated single heating coil through the

Position Adjust Incremental
The controller uses two binary outputs to position the control valve.
The stroke time you specify determines the timing of these binary
outputs. The controller uses the zone temperature to determine the
required position of the valve. Then it energizes the appropriate output
for a percent of full stroke to achieve the required valve position.
41
As the zone temperature drops below the heating setpoint, the

controller energizes the appropriate output to open the valve. As the
zone temperature increases, the controller energizes the other output to
close the valve. When the temperature is within the deadband of the
controller, neither output is energized and the valve stays in its current
position.
As the required position drops below the current position, the
controller energizes the appropriate output to close the valve. As the
required position increases, the controller energizes the other output to
open the valve. When the change from the current position to the
calculated new position is within the controllers deadband, neither
output is energized, leaving the valve in its current position.
The controller uses overdrive logic to ensure the position of the valve.
When the output reaches 99%, it will be driven for 1.5 times the stroke

You can adjust the minimum on/off and interstage on/off timers once

command originates from the main temperature control sequence of
operation. When the relative humidity increases above the humidity
setpoint and into the dehumidification proportional band, a
dehumidification command is determined. Integration may be added to
this control loop to eliminate the inherent offset associated with

Humidification
Description
A humidity high limit device is recommended with any humidification
strategy. The device should be located in the supply duct, at least
eight feet downstream of the humidifier. A device such as the
HLC-1000 can be used to limit the electronic signal to the humidifier
from the controllers analog output when a high limit setpoint is
reached.

Once turned off, the minimum off timer does not allow a stage to

interstage on timer for Stage 1 controls the elapsed time before
Stage 2 may be turned on. The interstage timer for Stage 2 must elapse
before Stage 3 may be turned on, and so on.
The reverse is true for the interstage off timers. The interstage on of
the last stage has no effect, and the interstage off of the first stage has
no effect.
command can be issued. Once a stage is turned off, it cannot be turned
on again until the cycle per hour interval and minimum off timer is
satisfied.
The command and starting point of each stage is based on the 0 to
100% command into the sequencer, with the proportional division of
the number of stages over a 0 to 100% range (i.e., 3 stages would start
at 33, 67, and 100% commands).
You can override the humidity stages by commanding the
pseudo-analog output for humidity. This ensures a 0 to 100% override
a sequencer.

Modes of Operation
Unoccupied Control Strategy
Note:
When occupied is on, the controller assumes the occupied

setpoints and operates as normal.
The first question in the modes of operation question/answer path

strategies are:
Intermittent Night Operation from Zone Sensor
Setup/Setback of Htg/Clg Setpts in Main Seq Operation from Zone

(Only in Room Control Strategy)

Intermittent Night Operation from Zone Sensor
The intermittent night operation selection is a valid option for all the
AHU control strategies including:
Room Control
Return Air Control
Constant Discharge Air Control
Supply Air Reset from Return/Exhaust
Room Control of Cooling/Room Reset of Heating
Supply Air Reset from Zone
This selection requires a zone sensor which will only be used for night
operation. When the controller is in the Unoccupied mode and the
zone temperature is above the night cooling or below the night heating
setpoint, the unit will start (Figure 40).

The system controls the control temperature around the occupied
heating and cooling setpoints. When the constant discharge air control
strategy is selected, user adjustable unoccupied discharge heating and
cooling setpoints are used. When the system commands the fan on due
to zone temperature, the appropriate discharge temperature is delivered
to the zone.
The controller commands the fan system off when the zone
temperature increases above the night heating setpoint plus the night
heating differential, or below the night cooling setpoint minus the
night cooling differential.
If the mixed air dampers are sequenced with cooling, you may want to
prevent free cooling in the Unoccupied mode by setting the
unoccupied economizer proportional band to 0. When the economizer
status is not on, the mechanical cooling algorithm operates with the
alternate cooling deadband (default = 0). This moves the starting point
of mechanical cooling to the control setpoint.

Setup/Setback of Htg/Clg Setpts in Main Seq Operation
from Zone (Only in Room Control Strategy)
The setup and setback option is only available when the main control
strategy is room control. The controller adds the setup value to the
zone cooling setpoint and subtracts the setback value from the zone or
heating setpoint. The controller does not use the heating deadband
when calculating the setback value. The setback value replaces the
heating deadband. The unit fans will start when the preheat (if selected
and sequenced), heating, economizer (if selected and sequenced) or
cooling proportional command reaches 10% and the unit will stop
when the commands have decreased to 1%. Once the unit fan starts
and airflow status is on, the command is passed through to the
appropriate heating or cooling device. It is likely that once the unit
starts in the Setup/Setback mode, it will continue to run for the rest of
the unoccupied period while maintaining the setup or setback setpoint.

If the mixed air dampers are sequenced with cooling, you may want to
prevent free cooling in the Unoccupied mode by setting the
unoccupied economizer proportional band to 0. When the economizer
status is not on, the mechanical cooling algorithm operates with the
alternate cooling deadband (default = 0). This moves the starting point
of mechanical cooling to the control setpoint value plus the setup
value.
Shutdown Mode
The default of the Shutdown mode (Figure 45) is off. When shutdown
is enabled, all outputs to fans are turned off, outside air dampers are
closed, and the humidity devices are shutdown. Preheat, heating, and
cooling outputs will be shutdown to 0% command if the user specified
they be affected by shutdown. Otherwise, they will go to their loss of
airflow position. In Shutdown mode, all integration timers are set to 0,
so no windup occurs when the system is put back into control.

Warmup/Cooldown Mode
The Warmup/Cooldown mode is only available if an unoccupied
strategy is selected and may only operate in the Unoccupied mode.
When commanded on, the Warmup/Cooldown mode stops the
unoccupied temperature control strategy selected and starts the fan
system if it is not running. It then controls to the temperature setpoints
selected for occupied operation. On mixed air systems, if free cooling
is available, the mixed air dampers shall modulate from 0 to 100%
open, ignoring the minimum outside air position.
As the control temperature approaches the control setpoint, the system
modulates or stages the controlled devices (preheat, heating, cooling).
When the controller switches into Occupied mode, warmup/cooldown
ends. This allows the minimum outdoor air dampers to open.
Even though Warmup mode ends, it remains on until commanded off.
When the Occupied mode is turned off, but the warmup/cooldown is
left on, Warmup/Cooldown mode will operate until commanded off.
If you selected the constant discharge air control strategy, an
unoccupied discharge air setpoint is used until the zone temperature
achieves the warmup/cooldown zone setpoint. If the zone temperature
is below the warmup/cooldown zone setpoint, the unoccupied heating
discharge air setpoint shall be used. If the zone temperature is above
the warmup/cooldown zone setpoint, the unoccupied cooling discharge
air setpoint shall be used.
Once the zone temperature reaches the warmup/cooldown zone
setpoint, the discharge air will control to the (occupied) discharge air
setpoint. The warmup/cooldown zone differential is used to prevent
switching back to the unoccupied discharge air setpoints once the
warmup/cooldown zone setpoint is achieved.
57
Airflow Interlock and Alarm

An airflow switch is incorporated into the controller operation. A
two minute delay is in effect after a command to start the fan is sent,
allowing time to prove airflow. Airflow must be proven in order to
operate the economizer output. If loss of airflow is detected for more
than 15 seconds, the preheat, heating, and cooling outputs will be
commanded to the user selected loss of airflow output and a fan alarm
indication will be given. If you select a return fan, return airflow must
be proven for normal operation. In the Fan System Control section, a
Fan Commanded Off Upon Loss of Air Flow question is asked. If you
answer no, a loss of airflow will not shut down the fan system. Once
airflow is in alarm, the airflow status must toggle from off to on to
clear the alarm.
Default Schedule
When you initiate Occupied mode and shutdown through the software
(N2) command only, you can input a default occupied and shutdown
start/stop time schedule. This schedule is in effect whenever the
N2 Bus is offline longer than ten minutes. The time clock that operates
inside the AHU controller is not battery backed. It resets to 00:00
whenever you apply power to the controller or the controller goes
through a reset condition, such as when downloaded.

The only way to set the controllers time clock to any time other than

a Zone Terminal (ZT) configured with a weekly schedule for that
controller. Whenever you connect a laptop to the Zone Bus (but not a
ZT), the controller enters the Service mode. The Service mode
disconnects the AHU controller from the N2 Bus. The Occupied mode
can be overridden from the Commissioning program of HVAC PRO
when you connect the laptop to the Zone Bus (or N2 Bus).

Fan System
Control Type
The first question in the fan system control question/answer path
(Figure 75) asks you to select the fan system control type. The
available types are:
Single Supply Fan with Static Press. Cntl.
Single Sup/Ret Vol Match w/Static Pres Cntl
Single Supply, Low/High Speed Control
Constant Volume

Single Supply Fan with Static Press. Cntl.
Supply fan output is the trigger for static pressure control. Supply fan
status enables the integration term.
If the ramp control is not used, the proportional output must be
sufficient to make the fan status.
This control strategy allows the control of variable frequency/speed
drives, inlet vanes or discharge dampers that control static pressure
within the air handling system. The static pressure setpoint is in inches
of Water Gauge (WG) or Pascals for metric units. The static pressure
proportional band, integration value, and derivative weight determine
the gain of the control loop. An integration value is always
recommended to eliminate the proportional offset in this control loop,
as precise static pressure control is required in most cases. Usually
derivative control action is not necessary, and the derivative weight
should be input as 0.
The system adds the static pressure offset value to the PID control
calculation and usually remains at 0. The static pressure deadband
value establishes a range above and below the static pressure setpoint
where the error is considered 0. The deadband is applied above and
below the static pressure setpoint.
If the static sensor becomes unreliable, the command to the static
pressure control device equals 0%.

The controller uses the CFM differential as the setpoint, and calculates
the controlled variable or feedback, by subtracting the return CFM
from the supply CFM. The return volume proportional band
integration value and derivative weight determines the gain of the
return fan control loop. An integration value is always recommended
to eliminate the proportional offset in this control loop, as precise
volume control is required in most cases. Usually, derivative control
action is not necessary and the derivative weight should be input as 0.
If the return fan is started by means other than the AHU, supply fan
status enables the return fan control integration.
If the AHU supply fan is ramped on startup (supply or return started
first), an active supply fan ramp or return fan status enables the return
fan control integration.
If the AHU starts the return fan first and there is no ramp of the supply
fan on startup, the return fan integration is enabled for two minutes
after the return fan command is on to allow for fan status to make.
Return fan command and return fan not in alarm enables the return fan
control integration.
If the supply fan or return fan CFM calculation is unreliable, the
output to the return fan equals 0%.
61
Single Supply, Low/High Speed Control

This strategy controls a two speed fan motor. Upon startup, the low
speed fan energizes. After a five minute delay the controller analyzes
the velocity pressure of the supply air and allows the high speed circuit
to energize. This strategy always starts the low speed fan first when a
supply fan command is received.

If the velocity pressure is above the high speed velocity pressure
setpoint, the controller commands the fan off, for the time period
entered for coast time. After this timer expires, the high speed fan
circuit energizes. When the velocity pressure decreases below the high
speed velocity pressure setpoint minus the velocity pressure
differential, the fan de-energizes again for a period equal to the coast
time. When this timer expires, the low speed circuit fan energizes.

The fans start in the Occupied mode, Warmup mode, Vent or Purge

Using an AHU Application in a UNT Controller

With HVAC PRO Release 5.10 or later, it is possible to select a UNT
as a target device for an AHU application. Valid target devices include
all UNT1nn-n controllers. With the 8 K UNTs, the question is not
whether the configuration will fit in the controller, but if there are
enough hardware points on the UNT for the configuration. Most likely,
you will run out of Analog Output (AO) points first. If this is the case,
you can use a Zone Bus actuator like the M100 motor actuator for the
extra AOs.

The Zone Bus addresses listed in Table 1 are based on the default
locations of analog outputs assigned by HVAC PRO during the
Question and Answer session. If you move the analog output location
within an HVAC PRO configuration, HVAC PRO will recalculate the
Zone Bus address using the equation:
ZB Address = AO Number + 19.
Default Point Types
The AHU application Question and Answer session assigns point type
defaults that are compatible with AHU controller hardware, but may
not be compatible with UNT controller hardware. AHU controllers
support the Current type for analog input sensors and analog output
points. Since the Current type is not supported by the UNT controller
hardware, any analog input sensor or analog output point configured as
Current must be changed before targeting the application to a UNT
controller. Voltage type is supported.
63
Instant Off Feature

When using staged outputs in the UNT, the Binary Output (BO)
Instant Off feature operates properly. So if the stages are on, and
shutdown is turned on or airflow status is open, the staged outputs will
ignore the minimum on timers and go off immediately. The Instant Off
feature is also available on AHU controllers with firmware
Revision C06 or later.
Momentary Start/Stop
Momentary start/stop points will operate properly on the UNT
controller when loaded with an AHU configuration.
Accumulator Point
The accumulator point (BI-4) on the UNT controller operates as usual,
even when the UNT controller is loaded with an AHU configuration.
Binary Parameters
The locations of certain binary parameters loaded by the AHU
application Question and Answer session are not supported by
UNT1nn-0 devices.
All UNT1nn-0 devices are removed from the Target Device Selection
if you select anything but Hardware BI Point or Hardware AI Point to

Closed Loop
This strategy provides a separate control loop for the outdoor air
dampers based on the mixed air sensor. A temperature setpoint is
selected and maintained when free cooling is available and
economizer is on. The direct acting output shall open the outside
air dampers from minimum position to 100% as the mixed air
temperature rises through the proportional band. Integration may
be added to this control loop to eliminate the inherent offset
Sequenced
with Heating
and Cooling
This strategy allows the sequencing of the outside air dampers

with the mechanical cooling device when free cooling is available
and economizer is on. The direct acting output shall open the
outside air dampers from minimum position to 100% as the
controlled temperature rises through the economizer proportional
band. The economizer proportional band must not exceed the
sum of the cooling deadband and the cooling proportional band. If
this is not done, the economizer output will stop increasing when
the cooling output reaches 100%. When the Economizer mode is
off (free cooling not available), an alternate cooling deadband is
used to shift the cooling proportional band left towards the control
setpoint. This causes mechanical cooling to modulate or energize
at a temperature closer to the control setpoint in comparison to
the normal cooling deadband when free cooling is available. The
cooling integration term for the mechanical cooling device is also
used by the economizer dampers.

Is a Mixed Air Low Limit Required?

Table 12: Is a Mixed Air Low Limit Required?
Option
Description
Yes
A mixed air temperature sensor will be assigned to an AI and will

be used to maintain the low limit logic for the economizer cycle.
Control will be achieved through a reverse acting PI algorithm that
will back off the economizer command and position the damper to
maintain the low limit setpoint. The mixed air low limit control will
override the minimum position setting if the mixed temperature
continues to drop below setpoint which can occur with low
ambient conditions in the outdoor air. If you desire a minimum
position regardless of the mixed air low limit logic (for example,
you are not in danger of freezing mechanical equipment), use a
damper offset which will not allow the damper to go below this
value during Occupied mode. Integration has been added to this
control loop to eliminate the inherent offset associated with
No

selection.

An input from an air quality sensor resets the minimum position of

the outdoor air damper to an increased value (Figure 57). The
controller does this through the inputs of indoor air quality low limit
and indoor air quality reset band. These inputs adjust the
minimum position setpoint from minimum position through the
minimum position reset band. The indoor air quality defaults are in
reference to a carbon dioxide sensor that indicates Parts Per
Million (PPM). The minimum position reset schedule is in percent
position or CFM, depending upon the type of minimum damper
strategy selected. High carbon dioxide is usually a good indication
that more outside air is required. However, low carbon dioxide is
not always a good indication of contaminant free air.

Table 17: How is the Minimum Damper Controlled?
Option
Description
2-Position
The 2-position strategy energizes a binary output whenever the

controller switches into the Occupied mode of operation
(Figure 58). During the Unoccupied or Shutdown mode, the binary
output for 2-position control is off. During the Vent or Purge mode,
the controller energizes the binary output (damper) even if the
controller is in the Unoccupied mode.
Minimum
Closed Loop
Volume
Control
The minimum volume closed loop strategy allows control to a

minimum air volume setpoint (CFM) via conventional PI control
(Figure 59). As the volume (CFM) of air through an airflow
measuring station decreases below the minimum volume setpoint
and into the CFM proportional band, the minimum damper is
modulated open. The CFM deadband suspends any change in
the control output when the actual CFM is within the this
deadband region. The full input deadband value is in effect on the
positive and negative side of the CFM setpoint. Integration may
be added to this control loop to eliminate the inherent offset
The minimum duct area input is the square foot area of the airflow
measuring station (provided by device manufacturer). The area is
required by the controller to calculate the CFM. The CFM offset, is
a value in percent that the controller adds to the command after it
performs the proportional and integration control calculation.

humidification to remain in control. If the controller commands
Vent and Purge modes on simultaneously, Vent mode takes
priority. Both modes are active during Occupied or Unoccupied
modes of operation but are not effective during the Shutdown
mode. The outdoor air dampers will not open until the supply
airflow status is on. Either mode energizes the supply fan start

Yes
This strategy allows an analog output to be commanded from 0 to

100% between each stage of preheat. The analog command
increases from 0 to 100% as the sequencer command from the
control strategy increases from 0 to the starting point of the first
stage. When you select Vernier control, the starting point of the
first stage defaults to the normal proportional division of the
number of stages plus one (i.e., 3 stages would start at 25, 50,
and 75% commands). When the sequencer preheat command
rises above the first stage on percent, the analog command
begins again at 0 and increases to 100% until the sequencer
command equals the starting point of the second stage. The
analog output operation between each stage is consistent
between all stages. The Vernier control strategy cannot be used
with rotational sequencing.

Staged
As the control humidity decreases below the user defined setpoint

and into the humidification proportional band, the controller
calculates a 0 to 100% command. Staged humidification requires
parameter inputs for cycle, interstage, and minimum on/off timers.
Vernier and rotational sequencing is not available for staged
humidification outputs. Adding integration to a control loop with
staged outputs is not advised, as it usually results in the constant
cycling of the outputs.
Modulated
The system controls the modulated humidity (i.e., steam) coil

based on the provided humidity sensor (Figure 72). As the control
humidity decreases below the user defined setpoint and into the
humidification proportional band, the controller issues a 0 to 100%
command to the humidification device. During PI control, if the
humidity sensor value is within the deadband area, the error is
considered 0 and the control output holds constant. In
proportional only control, if the sensor value is within the
deadband area, the output command is 0%.

A power fail restart delay time delays the startup of the unit after a

controller in Shutdown mode until the restart timer expires. This
strategy prevents the startup of multiple controllers upon the
restoration of power. When power is restored to the controller, the
reset trigger is initially equal to 0. This results in shutdown being
on. When reset completes, the reset trigger is equal to on. This
causes a delay before shutdown is commanded back to off.

Is Ramp Control Upon Supply Fan Startup Needed?

Table 78: Is Ramp Control Upon Supply Fan Startup

Option
Description
No

selection.
Yes
A ramp step, in percent per second, is a user adjustable

parameter. When the static pressure setpoint is obtained during
the ramp routine, the PID loop internal integration value will be set
equal to the ramp signal offset and the ramp will end. This will
provide a smooth transition from the ramp routine to PID control.
For example, to achieve 30% command in ten minutes calculate
the ramp step as follows:
10 min x 60 secs = 600 seconds
30% 600 secs = 0.05% per second, so the ramp step is 0.05%
Note: If the fan status is not on by the time the step reaches
setpoint, the fan output will go to 0% and the ramp will
restart.

Description
Pitot Tube
This selection is required when the controller needs to calculate

the square root of the velocity pressure reading. The area of the
face of the airflow station is required, and a constant is required to
extract any amplification of the velocity pressure that is present in
the design of the Pitot tube traverse. The formula for the CFM
calculation of the Pitot tube method is shown in Figure 79.
Airflow
Station
(Thermistor)
This selection is intended for a packaged airflow station having a

linear output ranged in velocity (FPM) or volume (CFM). In cases
where the airflow station outputs a linear CFM signal, adjust the
value for the area of the airflow measuring station to 1.0.
CFM = (V)(A)
Where: V = velocity (ft/min)
CFM = (4005) (Pv/K) (A)

Where: Pv = velocity pressure (in. WG)

No
If airflow interlock is selected and airflow is lost, the controller will

leave the fan command on and will still give airflow status
indication and airflow failure alarm.
Yes
When airflow is lost, after a user adjustable delay, the fan alarm
will go on and the fan command will be turned off. The occupied
or Warmup/Cooldown mode must toggle on, or the shutdown
must toggle off to trigger another start command to the fan. Also,
if the airflow status is toggled on, a start command will be issued
and the fan alarm will clear.

Yes
The controller will start and stop the return fan in sequence with
the supply fan. A user-adjustable fan delay time is loaded in the
supply fan parameters list. This is the time between the start
commands of the supply fan and the return fan.

Option
Description
Supply or
Return
When selecting the supply and return fan start/stop, the user can
select if the return or the supply fan will start first. It may be
necessary to start the return fan first. This strategy could prevent
damage to ductwork, or avoid a low temperature switch from
dropping out the supply fan starter circuit due to excessively low
ambient outside air during startup by pressurizing the mixed air
temperature plenum with warmer return air.

Troubleshooting
Downloading an AHU Application
The following concerns problems that may be encountered when
downloading an AHU assembled at HVAC PRO Release 4.00 or 5.00.
Note:
This overflow is only likely to occur on a very limited

number of jobs. Do not let this hamper the upgrade of your
AHU jobs to HVAC PRO Release 5.00.
Table 87: Troubleshooting AHU Controllers

Error/Condition
Problem
Solution
Large
Configurations
Overflow the
Amount of
Configuration
Space in the
AHU Memory
Due to the
enhancements/improvements made
in the AHU paths since HVAC PRO
Release 3.0, some large
configurations may overflow the
amount of configuration space in the
AHU memory. The problem affects
AHU revisions C05 or earlier. The
user will not be informed that the
program is too large, and the
following symptoms can occur:
If you experience one of the symptoms described

in the Problem column after downloading the
AHU, perform the following:
1. Download the file AHU500.EXE from the Main
Board of the Bulletin Board System.
This file is self-extracting and will give you
three files: AHUASM.EXE, FIXRESET.EXE
and README.TXT.
2. Perform the steps in the README file to fix
the reset problem.
3. Download the AHU with your original program
created with an earlier release of HVAC PRO.
The AHU, after the download,

resets continually.
The Binary Inputs no longer
update their actual condition.
If you are upgrading your AHU programs or

configuring a new AHU with HVAC PRO
Release 5.00, perform the following:
1. Download the file AHU500.EXE from the Main
Board of the Bulletin Board System.
This file is self-extracting and will give you
three files: AHUASM.EXE, FIXRESET.EXE
and README.TXT.
2. Assemble your AHU configuration with
HVAC PRO Release 5.0.
This new assembler will generate an error
message Configuration Data
Overflow if the file you are assembling will
overflow the AHU memory. The object code
necessary for download will not be created.
3. If your AHU configuration generates this
message, re-configure and download at
HVAC PRO Release 3.03.
126
Saving an AHU Application File for a UNT Controller

When using the Save As command to save a configuration to a
different target device, all available devices should appear in the
Devices window. If the Devices window reads No Target
Device, look in the Reason Not Allowed: at the bottom of the
screen for the reason. The most common reasons are provided below,
along with suggested solutions for these issues.
No Target Device is a valid option to save a configuration temporarily
until you decide which option is best for your application.
Note:
It is not possible to load a UNT application into an AHU or

VAV (Variable Air Volume controller). It is not possible to
load an AHU application into a VAV.
