Application 2524: VAV Series Fan Powered with One Stage of Electric Reheat
Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. 3-59
Example
Assume the duty cycle (STAGE TIME, Point 89) is 10 minutes, REHEAT START (Point 22) is
0%, and REHEAT END (Point 23) is 100%. The following table shows the intervals during
which heat is on and off for various levels of demand from the heating loopout (HTG
LOOPOUT, Point 80).
HTG LOOPOUT Minutes ON Minutes OFF
40% 4 6
60% 6 4
100% 10 0
Sequencing Logic (Optional)
The settings of FLOW START (Point 16), FLOW END (Point 17), REHEAT START (Point 22),
and REHEAT END (Point 23) determine how the damper and reheat modulation are
sequenced while in heating mode. These points represent the values of HTG LOOPOUT
(Point 80) at which modulation of the damper and reheat begin and end.
The damper moves from minimum position to fully open as HTG LOOPOUT increases from
FLOW START to FLOW END. If FLOW START and FLOW END are both set to 0% (default
value), the damper stays at minimum position while in heating mode.
The cycle for the reheat ranges from always off to always on as HTG LOOPOUT increases
from REHEAT START to REHEAT END. Default values for these points are 0% and 100%
respectively. See Electric Reheat (page 3-58) for more information.
By varying the values of these start and end points, the damper and the reheat can be
sequenced in series, parallel, or overlapping, as shown in the following table:
Series Parallel Overlapping Minimum Flow
(Default Value)
FLOW START 0% 0% 0% 0%
FLOW END 50% 100% 75% 0%
REHEAT START 50% 0% 25% 0%
REHEAT END 100% 100% 100% 100%
Calibration of Air Velocity Sensor
Calibration of the controller’s internal air velocity sensor is periodically required to maintain
accurate air velocity readings. CAL SETUP (Point 95) is set with the desired calibration
option during controller startup. Depending on the value of CAL SETUP, calibration may be
set to take place automatically or manually. If CAL AIR (Point 94) is set to YES, calibration is
in progress. The damper is commanded closed to get a zero airflow reading during
calibration.
At the end of a calibration sequence, CAL AIR automatically returns to NO. A setting of NO
indicates that the controller is not in a calibration sequence.
