PART 4: SEQUENCES OF OPERATION
4.1 SUMMARYA. The heating and cooling setpoints shall be individually adjustable for both the occupied, unoccupied, and standby periods. The thermostat shall have a minimum deadband of 2°F (1°C) (no mechanical heating or cooling shall operate within this deadband). Space temperature deviation above the cooling setpoint or below the heating setpoint shall generate a demand signal to control the system as follows:
- Heating: The thermostat shall control the heating output based on the demand signal communicated from the thermostat program, taking into account both space temperature deviation (proportional gain), the duration of that temperature deviation (integral), and the rate of change of the deviation (derivative gain). The thermostat shall energize heating equipment when space temperature falls below heating setpoint.
- Cooling: The thermostat shall control the cooling output based on the demand signal communicated from the thermostat program, taking into account both space temperature deviation (proportional gain), the duration of that temperature deviation (integral), and the rate of change of the deviation (derivative gain). The thermostat shall energize cooling equipment when space temperature exceeds cooling setpoint.a. (Optional Remote Equipment) A solid state enthalpy changeover control shall determine the capability of the outdoor air to provide free cooling (optional). The system shall operate as follows:1. Free Cooling available from Outdoor Air: On a call for cooling, the system shall enable the economizer to provide free cooling. If this does not meet the space demand, the system shall enable the call for mechanical cooling to satisfy the programmed setpoint.2. Free Cooling not available from Outdoor Air: On a call for cooling, the system shall hold the economizer to minimum position and cooling shall be energized to satisfy the programmed setpoint.
- Economizer Interface: The auxiliary relay contacts of the subbase shall be connected to the economizer’s minimum position potentiometer or power circuit.a. Occupied Period: The auxiliary relay contact will close, allowing the economizer to operate normally and be available for free cooling if outdoor conditions permit.b. Unoccupied Period: The auxiliary relay contact will open, defeating the economizer minimum position.
- Dehumidification: The thermostat shall provide five methods for dehumidification:a. Minimum ON: Increasing the compressor minimum on time.b. Reset: Lowering the cooling setpoint.c. Reheat: Cooling and simultaneous reheat.d. Auxiliary output: To external dehumidifier.e. Hot gas bypass: Auxiliary output operates depending on humidity level and number of active cooling stages.
- Heating Setback and Cooling Setup: Initiation of heating setback or cooling setup for each of 7 or 365 days shall be provided by a programmed time schedule down loaded into the thermostat from the WebStat™ Controller. When all or a portion of the programmed schedule is unavailable, the thermostat shall control to the factory default program.
- Setpoint Recovery from Unoccupied to Occupied: The thermostat shall incorporate a ramping feature that gradually changes the space setpoints. During recovery operation, the setpoint changes at a rate in degrees per hour depending on the outdoor air temperature. If there is no outdoor air temperature sensor available, the minimum ramp rate is used. The WebStat™ Controller shall provide ability to individually adjust ramp rates for heating and cooling.
- Fan Operation: Fan operation shall be selectable as follows:a. On: Fan operates continuously in occupied mode, and during standby modes, and during a call for heat or cool.b. Auto: Fan is energized with calls for heating and cooling.
- Minimum Stage Operation Time:a. Minimum On: Heat – 1 minute; Cool – 3 minutes.b. Minimum Off: Cool and Heat Pump – 1 minute.
- Power Interruption:a. On loss of power, the thermostat shall maintain programmed times and temperatures for 10 years.b. On loss of power, clock and day information shall be maintained for a minimum of 48 hours.
- Overrides:a. The Temporary Occupied Override can be used when the thermostat is in Unoccupied or Standby modes. It shall switch to the Occupied mode for an installer-configured number of hours. The default shall be 3 hours.b. The Temporary Unoccupied Override shall fix the schedule to operate in Unoccupied mode for a number of days (between 1 and 99) without changing programming saved in memory.c. Pressing “Run Schedule” shall cancel override and return to the program.
