Application Notes
Supply Only - Operating Without a General Exhaust Box
This application can operate without a general exhaust box. If a general exhaust box is
not being controlled, set TRACK METHOD to FLOW and set the following points:
TRACK MODE to 3.
– Without a fume hood attached, use a value of 3 = ETS (exhaust tracks supply)
Flow Tracking, should be used for both the occupied and unoccupied modes.
– With a fume hood attached, use a value of 0 = STE (supply tracks exhaust)
Flow Tracking, should be used for both the occupied and unoccupied modes.
GEX FLO COEF to 0.
When GEX FLO COEF equals 0, GEX AIR VOL will always read 0, but will never
display as Failed.
OCC GEX MIN and UOC GEX MIN to 0.
If these two points are not set to 0, GEX AIR VOL— will read 0 since GEX FLO
COEF was set to 0—will be less than the general exhaust box minimum, resulting
in a false ventilation alarm.
OCC GEX MAX and UOC GEX MAX left at default or a higher value.
These two points should be set to the highest value: 1) default or 2) OCC SUP
MAX / UOC SUP MAX – small values will result in the supply box not being able to
reach higher flow setpoints.
The application varies the supply airflow as the fume hood flow changes, in order to
maintain the proper room pressurization. The supply airflow is not varied for cooling
purposes; all temperature control is done by the reheat valve.
General Exhaust Only - Operating Without a Supply Box
This application can operate without a supply box. If a supply box is not being
controlled, set TRACK METHOD to FLOW and set the following points:
TRACK MODE to 0.
A value of 0 = STE (supply tracks exhaust) Flow Tracking, should be used for both
the occupied and unoccupied modes.
SUP FLO COEF to 0.
When SUP FLO COEF equals 0, SUP AIR VOL will always read 0, but will never
display as Failed.
OCC SUP MIN and UOC SUP MIN to 0.
If these two points are not set to 0, SUP AIR VOL— will read 0 since SUP FLO
COEF was set to 0—will be less than the supply box minimum, resulting in a false
ventilation alarm.
OCC SUP MAX and UOC SUP MAX left at default or a higher value.
These two points should be set to the highest value: 1) default or 2) OCC GEX
MAX / UOC GEX MAX – small values will result in the exhaust box not being able
to reach higher flow setpoints.
This setup is useful when the room has a constant source of supply air from other
equipment or sources not connected to the controller. If you enter this constant supply
air volume value into OTHER SUP, the application will vary the general exhaust airflow
as the fume hood flow changes, in order to maintain the proper room pressurization.
Since all temperature control will be done by the reheat valve, START should be set to
100 to allow the reheat valve to be controlled by the full range of TEMP LOOPOUT and
to prevent the room temperature PID Loop from winding up.
