MULTISTAGE EQUIPMENT STAGING
The 6000 Series Zone Control System can be configured to control staging of multi-stage HVAC equipment in two ways, based on the Staging Based
On setting.
STAGING BASED ON THE ZONE
When Staging Based On is set to Zone, the 6000 Series Zone Control System will stage the HVAC equipment to the highest stage call. For example if
Zone 1 is calling for first stage heating, and Zone 2 is calling for second stage heating, the 6000 Series Zone Control System will create a second stage
heating call to the equipment, open the dampers for Zone 1 and Zone 2 and close the dampers for all other zones.
STAGING BASED ON THE NUMBER OF ZONES
When Staging Based On is set to Number of Zones, the 6000 Series Zone Control System will stage the HVAC equipment based on the number of
zones calling and the Zones to Stage setting. Note that each zone can be counted as more than one zone calling based on the Zone Weighting setting
for that zone. This is useful if the zones are not equally sized
Example:
EQUIPMENT TYPE = Heat Pump
COMPRESSOR STAGES = 2
ZONES TO STAGE = 2
ZONE 1 WEIGHTING = 2
ZONE 2 WEIGHTING = 1
ZONE 3 WEIGHTING = 1
When a cooling call occurs from Zone 2, the 6000 Series Zone Control System will initiate a first stage cooling call to the heat pump, because the
total number of zones calling is 1 which does not meet the Zones to Stage setting of 2. If Zone 3 then initiates a call for cooling the 6000 Series Zone
Control System would stage up to a second stage cooling call to the heat pump, because the number of zones calling is now 2. With the same set-up
as above if only Zone 1 were to call for cooling the 6000 Series Zone Control System would answer that call with a second stage cooling call to the
heat pump because Zone 1 would meet the Zones to Stage setting of 2.
DUAL FUEL OPERATION
For heat pump applications, the outdoor temperature sensor is used to efficiently utilize an air source heat pump. The HIGH BALANCE POINT and
LOW BALANCE POINT settings will determine the temperatures at which the heat pump and auxiliary heat will be locked out. When the outdoor
temperature is less than the LOW BALANCE POINT setting, the heat pump will be locked out and only auxiliary heating will be used when the 6000
Series Zone Control System initiates a heating call. When the outdoor temperature is greater than the HIGH BALANCE POINT setting, the auxiliary
heating will be locked out and only the heat pump will be used when the 6000 Series Zone Control System initiates a heating call.
