Programming variable stages Before programming variable stages, make sure you have them properly configured. For more information, read Configuring variable stages on page 18. How variable cooling stages work When the temperature is below the idle range, the fan is off. When the temperature reaches the idle range, the fan runs at the idle speed. The fan continues to run at the idle speed until the temperature rises to the set point.
Programming equipment settings If you need to connect more cooling elements than you have relays available and you have an unused variable stage, you can use it as an ON/OFF stage (for 115/230 VAC-powered equipment only). Set the idle speed to 100% and idle range to the temperature at which you want the stage to switch on/off. You no longer have variable speed or power; you have either full on or full off, the same as a cooling relay.
The Ventilation settings window is where you program the variable stage settings. The following example is for cooling stages. The window for a heating stage is similar. B A C A This button displays the variable stage settings. B This is where you select the variable stage you want to program. C These are the settings for the selected variable stage.

Appendix A: Worksheets Timed events worksheet Timed event relays control equipment such as lights that need to be switched on or off during certain times of the day. Setting up timed events means setting the on and off times. For every on time, there must be an off time. For more information, read Programming timed events on page 59.
Appendix B: Motor curves Motor curves provide a way to proportionally increase or decrease speed, regardless of motor manufacturer. For example, a Multifan motor might require 130 VAC to run at 50% RPM, while a Marathon motor might need 100 VAC to run at 50% RPM. Without a motor curve, the Multifan motor would run at a slower RPM than the Marathon motor at the same settings.

actuator set point When the temperature is below the minimum set point, the actuator is closed. When the temperature rises to the minimum set point, the actuator moves to the minimum position. As the temperature rises, the actuator has four stages it moves through until it reaches its maximum open position. This lets you gradually open inlets instead of fully opening them when the temperature rises above a single set point.
Appendix C: Glossary curtain set point Curtain set point is the target temperature for the curtains. When the temperature is between the curtain set point and idle band limits, the curtains hold their position. Set point is one of six curtain settings. For more information, read Programming relays for curtain control on page 53. See also actuator set point and relay set point. different method (DIF) DIF is a mode of temperature setback.
empty room Empty room mode is a power saving feature that allows you to put a Power Block into an ‘idle state’ and adjust all the settings, without having to change your normal, operational settings. Empty room mode has its own master set point, high and low temperature alarms, and high temperature biasing. In empty room mode, OMNI maintains minimum ventilation only; there is no active cooling, no ventilation curves, and no temperature setbacks.
Appendix C: Glossary minimum position Minimum position is the percentage an actuator will be open when the temperature is at the minimum set point. For more information, read Programming relays for actuator control on page 49. minimum set point Minimum set point is the temperature at which an actuator is at its minimum position. When the temperature is below the set point, the actuator closes completely. For more information, read Programming relays for actuator control on page 49.
