Table 5. LUI Security Levels

Figure 4. Changing LUI Security Levels

WHY CAN’T I USE THE MODE OR FAN BUTTON,OR ADJUST SETPOINT OFFSET?Most likely this is due to the security feature being used. If the securityfeature is set higher than level 0, then some LUI functionality is lockedout. To ensure this is not the problem, enter the level 0 password thentry again to use the LUI.

When using the +/- 3°F (+/- 1.7°C) remote wall sensor, any setpointoffset adjustment made at the LUI will cause the UVC to overrideand ignore the remote wall sensor setpoint adjustment knob. Toagain use the remote wall sensor setpoint adjustment knob, youmust clear the LUI setpoint offset adjustment by cycling UVCpower.

LOCAL USER INTERFACE (LUI) SECURITY LEVELSThe LUI provides a 4-level password security feature which can beused by owners to restrict LUI access.

The setpoint offset is cleared after every power cycle. Whenchanging the setpoint offset after a power cycle, or for the first time,this cleared value will be shown as the highest allowed value (5°F/ 3°C) but will not be an actual offset value.

Figure 2. Viewing Actual Temperature (IAT)

When the actual space temperature (Effective Space Temp Output)equals the effective setpoint (Effective Setpoint Output) you willsee no change to the LUI display when you view space temperature.

NOTICE

When using the 55OF to 85OF remote wall sensor, the UVC willignore any LUI setpoint offset adjustments.

USING THE LUI TO ADJUST SETPOINT OFFSETThe LUI can be used by room occupants to easily make +/- 5OF (+/-3OC) adjustments to the effective temperature setpoint. See the SpaceTemperature Setpoints section to learn more about temperature setpoints.

LUI Menu ReferenceThe LUI menu eases troubleshooting and simplifies UVC configurationas the most common parameters and system status values can beaccessed without the need of a Personal Computer or network interface.The LUI menu is accessed via an unmarked, Hidden button. ThisHidden button is located behind the letter “h” in the MicroTech II logoon the LUI face.The LUI menu consists of two levels. The first level is the LUI MenuItem List containing alphanumeric characters which represent eachparameter. The second level is the level where the parameters value isviewed, and can be adjusted if the parameter is adjustable. A 5-secondinactivity timer is used to automatically back out of the menu levelsuntil returning to the effective setpoint display. See figure 5 forprocedure to change LUI Menu Item.

State ProgrammingThe MicroTech II UVC takes advantage of state machine programmingto define and control unit ventilator operation. State machines definespecific states, or modes of operation for each process within the unitventilator (i.e. heating, cooling, etc.) and contain the specific logic foreach state. This eliminates some of the most common problemsassociated with control sequences such as the possibility of simultaneousheating and cooling, rapid cycling, etc.State machine programming, and the unique nature of state diagrams,can be easily used to describe unit ventilator operation, and can vastlysimplify sequence verification during unit commissioning, as well assimplify troubleshooting. With the unique combination of state machineprogramming and the LUI’s ability to allow a technician to easilydetermine the active UVC state, troubleshooting the UVC can be verysimple.The state diagrams presented in the following sections consist ofseveral “elements” including Super States, States, Conditional Jumps(also called transitions) and a Transition Point. Super states are used asa means to group two or more related states into a single controlfunction such as cooling, or heating, etc. States are where all the actualwork takes place, within each state the UVC enables PI-loops and otherlogic sequences required to control unit ventilator operation within thatparticular state, while other functions and PI-loops not needed duringthat state may be disabled. Conditional jumps, or transitions, are the

Not all states or modes are available for all UV configurations, andsome states (such as Active Dehumidification) are optional.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

Figure 6. Complete UVC - State Program

In the state descriptions below the terms saturated high andsaturated low indicate that the heating or cooling function beingdescribed has reached 100% or 0% respectively.

logic paths used by the UVC to determine which state should be madeactive, these are the “questions” the UVC will continually consider.The transition point is simply a point through which a number ofconditional jumps meet, you can think of it as a point where a numberof questions must be considered from which the UVC then determineswhich path is followed and which state is then made active.The UVC states and super states are used to define the “normal” unitmodes, such as Off, Night Purge, Fan Only, Emergency Heat, Auto,Cool, and Heat. The UVC also supports several “special purpose” unitmodes such as Purge, Pressurize, De-pressurize, and Shutdown, whichcan be forced via a network connection and override typical UVCoperation.

UVC Unit ModesThe UVC provides several “normal” modes of unit operation, theseinclude Off, Night Purge, Fan Only, Cool, Emergency Heat, Auto,Heat and Cool.Normal UVC modes can contain a single state or several statesdependent upon the functionality required for each particular mode.Each UVC state has been assigned a number. This state number can bevery helpful when trying to understand which state is currently activewithin the UVC. The current UVC state number can be viewed usingthe LUI. See Figure 6 for Super State and State.

Transition(UVC Mode = Off)into State

Operation When Off mode becomes active, the UVC stops all

within State normal heating, cooling, ventilation (OA damper is

closed), and fan operation. The UVC will continue to

monitor space conditions, indicate faults, and provide

network communications (if connected to a network)

as long as power is maintained to the unit. If the space

temperature drops below EHS, and the Emergency

Heat function is enabled, the UVC will be forced into

the Emergency Heat mode (see Emergency Heat Mode).

The space lighting output will continue to operate

normally based upon the current UVC occupancy

mode.

Special purpose unit modes (i.e. Purge, Pressurize,

and De-pressurize modes) accessed via a network

connection can force the UVC to perform “special”

functions during which the UVC will appear to be in

the Off mode. See Special Purpose Unit Modes, and

the UVC Unit Mode Priority sections for more

information.

The UVC will remain in this state until one of the

transition out conditions become true.

Transition(UVC Mode ≠ Off)

out of State

Figure 7. Off State Diagram

OFF MODE (STATE NUMBER 9)Off mode is provided so that the UVC can be forced into a powered offcondition. The Off mode is a “stop” state for the unit ventilator, it is nota power off state. The LUI or a network connection can force the unitinto the Off mode. Off mode consists of a single UVC state: Off [9].

Off mode is a “stop” state for the unit ventilator. It is not a “poweroff” state. Power may still be provided to the unit.

NIGHT PURGE MODE (STATE NUMBER 8)Night Purge mode is provided as a means to more easily and quicklyventilate a space. Night purge can be useful in helping to remove odorbuild up at the end of each day, or after cleaning, painting, or other odorgenerating operations occur within the space. Night Purge is a fullventilation with exhaust mode, during which room comfort will verylikely be compromised, it is therefore strongly recommended thatNight Purge only be used when the space is unoccupied. The LUI or anetwork connection can force the unit into the Night Purge mode. NightPurge mode consists of a single UVC state: Night Purge [8].

Transition(UVC Mode = Night Purge)into State

Operation When Night Purge mode becomes active, the UVC

within State stops all normal heating and cooling as any new energy

used to treat the incoming air would be wasted in the

FAN ONLY MODE (STATE NUMBER A)The Fan Only mode is provided so that the UVC can be forced into aFan Only operation. The LUI or a network connection can force the unitinto the Fan Only mode. Fan Only mode consists of a single UVC state:Fan Only [A].

Transition(UVC Mode = Fan Only)into State

Operation When Fan Only mode becomes active, the UVC stops

within State all normal heating and cooling. If the space temperature

drops below the EHS, and the Emergency Heat function

is enabled, the UVC will be forced into the Emergency

Heat mode (see the Emergency Heat Mode).

EMERGENCY HEAT MODE (SUPER STATE)The Emergency Heat mode is provided for situations where the UVCis in a mode that does not normally allow heating, such as Off, Cool,Night Purge, or Fan Only. If Emergency Heat mode is enabled, theUVC can automatically force itself into the Emergency Heat modefrom Off, Cool, Night Purge, Fan Only, Purge, Pressurize, De-pressurize,and Shutdown. Additionally, the LUI or a network connection can beused to force the unit into the Emergency Heat mode. Emergency Heatmode consists of two UVC states: Full Heat [7] and Cant Heat [D].

Emergency Heat mode from another mode, then the

UVC will return to the appropriate unit mode once the

space temperature rises to the EHS plus the fixed

it does not exceed DAHL. If the DAT does exceed

DAHL (140OF / 60OC default), then heating will be set

to 0% for a minimum of 2-minutes (fixed) and until the

COOL MODE (SUPER STATE)When in Cool mode the UVC will use primary cooling (economizer)as needed to maintain the effective cooling setpoint (see SpaceTemperature Setpoints). The LUI or a network connection can be usedto force the unit into the Cool mode. Additionally, the UVC when setto Auto mode can automatically force the unit into the Cool mode.When the UVC is in Auto mode, it is “normal” for the UVC to “idle”in Cool mode when there is no need to switch to another mode. TheCool mode super state consists of up to four UVC states: Econ [3], DAHeat [4], Low Limit [F] and Cant Cool [C ].


Econ State (state number 3)The Econ state is a “normal” state that the UVC can go into when Coolmode is active. The Econ state is typically active in the Cool modewhen primary cooling (economizer) is available and adequate to meetthe cooling requirements.

Pressurize ModeWhen in Pressurize mode the UVC will use the IAF, OAD, and exhaustoutput as needed to pressurize the space. The UVC stops all normalheating and cooling but does allow emergency heat if required. Thepressurize mode can only be accessed via a network connection.

Depressurize ModeWhen in Depressurize mode the UVC will use the IAF, OAD, andexhaust output as needed to depressurize the space. The UVC stops allnormal heating and cooling but does allow emergency heat if required.The de-pressurize mode can only be accessed via a network connection.

Purge ModeWhen in Purge mode the UVC will use the IAF, OAD, and exhaustoutput as needed to purge the space. The UVC stops all normal heatingand cooling but does allow emergency heat if required. The purge modecan only be accessed via a network connection.

Shutdown ModeShutdown mode is the equivalent of the Off mode, but is an Off modeforced by a network connection. When in Shutdown mode the UVCstops all normal heating, cooling, ventilation (OA damper is closed),and fan operation. By default emergency heat will not be used duringthe shutdown mode, however, the UVC can be configured (EmergencyHeat Shutdown Configuration) to allow emergency heat operationduring shutdown mode. The shutdown mode can be accessed via anetwork connection and a binary input to the UVC.

Energy Hold Off ModeThe UVC supports an energy hold off state, which when active forcesthe UVC to stop all normal heating, cooling and ventilation. Typicallyused by a network connection to force the UVC to cease heating,cooling and ventilation when conditions exist where heating, coolingand ventilation are not required or desired. Energy hold off mode isvery similar to shutdown mode except that energy hold off alwaysallows emergency heat if required. The energy hold off mode can onlybe accessed via a network connection.

UVC UNIT MODE PRIORITYThe UVC uses the network variables and binary inputs listed in thefollowing tables, to determine unit mode. Special purpose UVC unitmodes have higher priority than the normal UVC unit modes as shownin the following tables. Each table lists the highest priority items on theleft to the lower priority items to the right. The right most columnsindicate unit operation as a result of the left most columns.

WARNING!Shutdown mode and energy hold off mode is a “stop” state forthe unit ventilator. It is not a “power off” state. Power may still beprovided to the unit.

Low Limit State (state number F)The Low Limit state is a “non-normal” state that the UVC can go intowhile Cool mode is active. The Low Limit state typically follows theDA Heat state when the UVC has reached 100% heat and still cannotmaintain VCLL.

SPECIAL PURPOSE UNIT MODESThere are some additional UVC modes that are considered specialpurpose unit modes, these include Pressurize, Depressurize, Purge,Shutdown and Energy Hold Off. These modes force the UVC toperform very specific and limited functions and must be used withcaution and only for short periods as needed. These modes can only beaccessed via a network connection.In each of these special purpose UVC modes, if the space temperaturedrops below EHS, and the Emergency Heat function is enabled, theUVC will be forced into the Emergency Heat mode (see EmergencyHeat Mode) and then return once the Emergency Heat function issatisfied.

OCCUPIED MODEThe occupied mode is the normal day time mode of UVC operation.During occupied mode the UVC will use the occupied heating andcooling setpoints, the OAD will operate normally, and by default theIAF will remain on.

UNOCCUPIED MODEThe unoccupied occupancy mode is the normal night time mode ofUVC operation. During unoccupied mode the UVC will use theunoccupied heating and cooling setpoints, the OAD will remain closed,and the IAF will cycle as needed for heating or cooling. The IAF willremain off when there is no need for heating or cooling.

STANDBY MODEThe standby mode is a special purpose day time mode of UVCoperation. During standby mode the UVC will use the standby heatingand cooling setpoints, the OAD will remain closed, and by default theIAF will remain on.

BYPASS MODEThe bypass mode (also called Tenant Override) is the equivalent of atemporary occupied mode. Once the bypass mode is initiated it willremain in effect for a set period of time (120-minutes default). Duringthe bypass mode the UVC will use the occupied heating and coolingsetpoints, the OAD will operate normally, and by default the IAF willremain on.

NETWORKED OCCUPANCY SENSOR CAPABILITYA networked occupancy sensor can be interfaced with the OccupancySensor Input variable to select occupancy modes. When the OccupancySensor Input variable is used, it will automatically override any hard-wired unoccupied binary input signal.

UNIT-MOUNTED TIME-CLOCKAn optional unit-mounted factory-installed electronic 24-hour/7-daytime clock can be provided on some unit ventilator configurations. Thistime clock is factory wired to the UVC unoccupied binary input and canbe set to automatically place the unit into occupied and unoccupiedmodes based upon its user configured schedule.

UNIT-MOUNTED TENANT OVERRIDE SWITCHA tenant override switch is factory installed in all floor mounted units.This tenant override switch is located near the LUI on the unit. Thetenant override switch provides a momentary contact closure that canbe used by room occupants to temporarily force the UVC into thebypass occupancy mode from unoccupied mode.

REMOTE WALL-MOUNTED SENSOR TENANTOVERRIDE SWITCHThe optional remote wall-mounted sensors include a tenant overrideswitch. This tenant override switch provides a momentary contactclosure that can be used by room occupants to temporarily force theUVC into the bypass occupancy mode from unoccupied mode.

REMOTE WALL-MOUNTED SENSOR STATUS LEDThe optional remote wall-mounted sensors each include a UVC statusLED. This status LED aids is diagnostics by indicating the UVCoccupancy mode and fault condition.

Space Temperature SetpointsThe UVC uses the six occupancy-based temperature setpoints as thebasis to determine the Effective Setpoint Output. The UVC willcalculate the effective setpoint based upon the unit mode, the occupancymode, and the values of several network variables. The effectivesetpoint is then used as the temperature setpoint that the UVC willmaintain.

NETWORKED SETPOINT CAPABILITYThe Space Temp Setpoint Input variable is used to allow the temperaturesetpoints for the occupied and standby modes to be changed via thenetwork, the unoccupied setpoints are not effected by this variable.

NETWORKED SETPOINT OFFSET CAPABILITYThe Setpoint Offset Input variable is used to shift the effectiveoccupied and standby temperature setpoints by adding the value of theSetpoint Offset Input variable to the current setpoints, the unoccupiedsetpoints are not effected by this variable. This variable is typicallybound to a supervisory network controller (by others) or to a networkedwall module (by others) having a relative setpoint adjustment.

NETWORKED SETPOINT SHIFT CAPABILITYThe Setpoint Shift Input variable is used to shift the effective heat/coolsetpoints. It is typically bound to a networked supervisory controllerwhich provides functions such as outdoor air temperature compensation.All occupied, standby and unoccupied setpoints will be shifted upward(+) or downward (-) by the corresponding value of the Setpoint ShiftInput variable.

The Setpoint Shift Input capability is not available through theBACnet® interface.

NETWORKED SPACE TEMPERATURESENSOR CAPABILITYA networked space temperature sensor can be interfaced with theSpace Temp Input variable. When the Space Temp Input variable isused (valid value), it will automatically override the hard-wired spacetemperature sensor.

EFFECTIVE SETPOINT CALCULATION EXAMPLESThe UVC calculates the effective setpoint (Effective Setpoint Output)based upon the six occupancy setpoints for heating and cooling,occupancy mode, and the value of the network variables Space TempSetpoint Input, Setpoint Offset Input and Setpoint Shift Input. TheUVC will determine if heating or cooling is required based upon thecurrent unit mode (Heat/Cool Mode Output) and then calculate therequired setpoint for heating or cooling. After this calculation, theUVC sets the Effective Setpoint Output network variable equal to thecalculated setpoint. The Effective Setpoint Output is the temperaturesetpoint that the UVC will maintain and which is normally displayedon the LUI. The following table provides some examples of how theUVC temperature setpoints are calculated.

Secondary Cooling, or Primary Heating) is then activated to control theheating or cooling device required to achieve the calculated DischargeAir Temperature Setpoint Output. The second PI-loop used is dependentupon unit mode (i.e. Heat or Cool).


PI CONTROL PARAMETERSAssociated with each PI loop is a set of two adjustable PI parameters.These parameters are “Proportional Band” and “Integral Time”. Whenthe unit ventilator is properly sized for the space, the factory settingsfor these parameters will provide the best and most robust controlaction. See Figure 19.If field problems do arise, first ensure these parameters are set back tothe factory default settings. If adjustment is then required, only makesmall adjustments to one parameter at a time. After each adjustment,enough time for the system to stabilize should be allowed before furtheradjustments are made. You must have patience. If you do not have thebenefit of a means to graph the space performance, you can still recordthe actual measured value and setpoint on paper for several minutes andthen plot the results using a spreadsheet to determine the correct actionin changing PI parameters.

Adjusting PI parameters can cause erratic unit operation andequipment damage!PI control parameters should only be adjusted by trained personnelhaving a thorough understanding of how the parameters affectsystem operation. Generally these parameters do not need to beadjusted from the factory default settings.

CAUTION!

Figure 19. Optimized PI Loop Control

PROPORTIONAL BANDThe Proportional Band, or proportional action, causes the controlledoutput to change in proportion to the magnitude of the differencebetween the sensor value and setpoint.A Proportional Band setting that is too small (See Figure 20.) will causecontrol oscillations that go fully above and below the setpoint.

Figure 20. Proportional Band too Small

A Proportional Band setting that is too large (See Figure 21.) will causean offset between the actual measured oscillation center and thesetpoint. A small offset is not necessarily a problem as most systemshave a small “natural” offset and the Integral function will automaticallywork to eliminate or reduce this effect.

Figure 21. Proportional Band too Large

In general, it is best to start with relatively large Proportional Bandsetting (the factory default setting is best) and adjust to smaller values.

If you wish the system to respond strongly to even small changes in thespace, you would lower the Proportional Band.

If you wish the system to react weakly to small changes in the space,then you would adjust the Proportional Band to a higher setting.

INTEGRAL TIMEThe Integral Time, or integral action, causes the controlled output tochange in proportion to time integral of the difference between thesensor value and setpoint. The difference over time between the actualvalue and setpoint forms an “area under the curve.” See Figure 22. Theintegral action works to reduce this “area under the curve”, and toeliminate any natural system offset.

Figure 22. Area Under the Curve

Figure 23. Integral Time too Small

The smaller the Integral Time, the faster the output will ramp up ordown with small changes in the space. The smaller the Integral Time,the quicker the system can become “upset” due to small changes in thespace. If the Integral Time is set too small, long period oscillations willoccur. See Figure 23.

In general, it is best to start with a relatively large Integral Time setting(the factory default setting is best) and adjust to smaller values.

If you wish the system to respond strongly to even small changes in thespace, you would lower the Integral Time.

If you wish the system to react weakly to small changes in the space,then you would adjust the Integral Time to a higher setting.


Indoor Air Fan OperationThe UVC supports a 3-speed IA fan: Low, Medium, and High. TheUVC will calculate the effective fan speed and operation based uponthe unit mode, the occupancy mode, and the values of several networkvariables.

AUTO MODEThe UVC is provided with a user selectable auto fan mode feature.When in auto fan mode, the UVC uses the space temperature PI loopto automatically adjust the fan speed as needed to maintain spacetemperature. This ensures that the UVC will maintain the lowest andquietest fan speed whenever possible. When in auto fan mode, amaximum of 6 fan speed changes per hour is allowed (by default), thisprevents frequent automatic fan speed changes from disturbing roomoccupants.

OCCUPIED, STANDBY AND BYPASS OPERATIONDuring occupied, standby and bypass modes the IA fan will, by default,remain On.

UNOCCUPIED OPERATIONDuring unoccupied mode the IA fan will typically remain off and willcycle with calls for heating and cooling.

CYCLE FANThe UVC is provided with a Fan Cycling Configuration variable whichcan be used to force the IA fan to cycle with calls for heating andcooling during the occupied, standby and bypass occupancy modes.When the fan is off, the OA damper will be closed, therefore, it isrecommended that this feature only be used when it is acceptable thatnormal ventilation is not required.

OFF DELAYWhen the IA fan is set to cycle, or during the unoccupied mode, or whenthe UVC is placed into off mode, the UVC is configured to continue fanoperation for a time period (30-seconds default) after heating orcooling is complete.

Outdoor Air Damper OperationThe UVC is configured for an OA damper operated by a floating-pointactuator. The OA damper actuator contains a spring which will ensurethat the OA damper is closed upon loss of power. The floating-pointactuator is driven by the UVC using two binary (Triac) outputs. TheOA damper is typically open to the current minimum position duringthe occupied and bypass occupancy modes, and closed during theunoccupied and standby occupancy modes.

MINIMUM POSITIONThe UVC is configured to maintain three OA damper minimumpositions based upon the operation of the IAF. This allows the abilityfor each unit to be field configured to provide the amount of fresh airrequired to the space at each of the three IA fan speeds.

NOTICE

If the CO2 Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) option is used,then the UVC will only use the IA fan high speed OA damperminimum position regardless of fan speed, the DCV function willadjust the OA damper above this minimum as needed to maintainCO2 setpoint.

ECONOMIZER OPERATIONThe economizer function is used by the UVC to determine if the OA isadequate for economizer (primary) cooling. When both the economizerand mechanical cooling are available, the economizer will be used asprimary cooling and the UVC will add mechanical cooling only if theeconomizer is not adequate to meet the current cooling load (i.e. the OAdamper reaches 100% and cooling is still required).The UVC is configured to support three economizer types:

• Temperature Comparison Economizer (default)• Temperature Comparison with OA Enthalpy Setpoint

Economizer (optional)• Temperature Comparison with Enthalpy Comparison

Economizer (optional)

Temperature Comparison EconomizerThe UVC uses two configuration variables to determine if theeconomizer can be used: Economizer OA Temp Setpoint andEconomizer Temp Differential. See Table 17.

NETWORKED SPACE HUMIDITY SENSOR CAPABILITYA networked space humidity sensor can be interfaced with the SpaceHumidity Input variable. When the Space Humidity Input variable isused (valid value), it will automatically override the hard-wired spacehumidity sensor (if present).

NETWORKED OUTDOOR HUMIDITYSENSOR CAPABILITYA networked outdoor humidity sensor can be interfaced with theOutdoor Humidity Input variable. When the Outdoor Humidity Inputvariable is used (valid value), it will automatically override the hard-wired outdoor humidity sensor (if present).

CO2 DEMAND CONTROLLED VENTILATION (OPTIONAL)Ventilation equipment typically uses fixed damper positions todetermine the amount of OA for proper ventilation within the space.Most commonly, the fixed position of the OA damper is based upon themaximum number of occupants the space is designed to accommodate.This fixed OA damper operation however ignores the fact that mostspaces during the day have varying occupancy levels, and may onlyrarely reach maximum design occupancy levels. This type of fixeddamper control for ventilation is energy wasteful as you are treatingOA not actually needed for ventilation during low occupancy levels.

People produce CO2 when they breath. The CO2 level within the spacehas a direct relationship with the number of people within that space.

The UVC can optionally be factory configured to provide CO2-basedDemand Controlled Ventilation (DCV). The CO2 DCV function is veryuseful in saving the energy typically wasted in treating OA that is notactually needed for ventilation within a space during occupancy levelsbelow maximum design. The CO2 DCV function uses a PI-loop controlto adjust the OA damper above the minimum position as needed tomaintain the Space CO2 Setpoint (1200 PPM default). The minimumdamper position used with CO2 DCV can typically be set at 20% of theminimum position that would be used without CO2 DCV, this numbershould then provide enough ventilation to keep odors within the spacein check for most applications.

The CO2 DCV function can increase the OA damper position pastthat required by the economizer and vice versa.

If odors within the space become a problem, increase the OAdamper minimum position as needed to eliminate these odors. Itmay be necessary with new construction or after renovation to raisethe minimum position for some time period to help reduce odorbuildup due to the out-gassing of new construction material, andthen return the minimum OA damper position at a later date.

If the CO2 Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) option is used,then the UVC will only use the IA fan high speed OA damperminimum position regardless of fan speed, the DCV function willadjust the OA damper above this minimum as needed.

NETWORKED SPACE CO2 SENSOR CAPABILITYA networked space CO2 sensor can be interfaced with the Space CO2

Input variable. When the Space CO2 Input variable is used (validvalue), it will automatically override the hard-wired space CO2 sensor(if present).

NOTICEAn End-of-Cycle (EOC) valve is strongly recommended. If an EOCvalve is not installed, it is very likely that overheating of thespace will occur.

Floating-point Actuator Auto-Zero,Overdrive and SyncThe UVC at power-up will auto-zero all floating-point actuators (OAdamper) before going into normal operation to ensure proper positioning,this can take as long as 150-seconds after power-up. During auto-zerothe unit will remain Off, the actuators will open approximately 30%and then be driven full closed, the overdrive feature is then used tocontinue forcing the actuators closed for one full stroke period. Oncethe zeroing process is complete normal unit operation will begin.The UVC is configured such that whenever a floating-point actuator iscommanded to go to 0% or 100%, the UVC will overdrive the actuatorone full stroke period past the 0% or 100% position to ensure properpositioning.

Additionally, the UVC is configured to sync all floating-point actuatorsonce every 12-hours of operation. To do this the UVC will force theactuator to the nearest rail position (0% or 100%), use the overdrivefeature, and then return to its normal position. For example, if theactuator is at 20% when the 12-hour limit is reached, then the UVC willforce the actuator to 0%, use overdrive, and then return to the 20%position.

Water Coil Leaving Air TemperatureThermostat (freeze-stat)A normally-closed low temperature thermostat is factory provided todetect low leaving air temperature conditions on the indoor air coil.This thermostat is mounted on the discharge air side of the unit’s watercoil. The low temperature thermostat cut-out is 38OF +/-2OF (3OC +/-1OC) and the cut-in is 45OF +/-2OF (7OC +/-1OC). When the lowtemperature thermostat detects low leaving air temperatures (contactsopen) the following will occur.

VALVE CONTROL (SOFTWARE MODEL 09)When freeze-stat cuts-out:1. OA damper closes immediately.2. Space fan stops.3. The wet heat valve is set to a minimum of 50%.4. If heating is required the valve modulates above 50% as needed,

auxiliary heat may be used as needed.When the freeze-stat cuts-in the UVC will return to normal operation.

F&BP DAMPER CONTROL (SOFTWARE MODEL 10)When the freeze-stat cuts-out:1. OA damper closes immediately.2. EOC valve opens immediately.3. If heating is required the F&BP damper modulates as needed,

otherwise the F&BP damper goes 100% bypass, auxiliary heat maybe used as needed.

When the freeze-stat cuts-in the UVC will return to normal operation.

External Binary InputsThe UVC is provided with three (3) binary inputs which can provide thefollowing functions. These inputs each allow a single set of dry-contacts (no voltage source) to be used as a signal to the UVC, multipleunits can be connected to a single set of dry-contacts. For wiring seeMicroTech II Unit Ventilator Controller IM747.

Notice

Not all of the functions listed can be used at the same time. TheUVC is provided with configuration parameters which can beadjusted to select which function will be used for these inputs whenmultiple functions are indicated below.

EXTERNAL BINARY INPUT 1This input can be configured as an unoccupied (default) or dewpoint/humidity signal.

ASHRAE CYCLE IIThe UVC supports ASHRAE Cycle II operation. The basis of ASHRAECycle II is to maintain the required minimum amount of ventilationwhenever possible, which can be increased during normal operationfor economizer cooling or CO2 DCV control, but can also be reducedto prevent excessively cold discharge air temperatures.A discharge air temperature sensor is installed in all unit ventilators. Ifnecessary, the ASHRAE II control algorithm will override roomcontrol and modify the heating, ventilating, and cooling functions (asavailable) to prevent the discharge air temperature from falling belowthe VCLL setpoint.

Valve Control (software model 09)The UVC is configured for a modulating heat/cool valve operated bya floating-point actuator. The modulating valve actuator contains aspring which will ensure that the heat/cool valve is open, upon loss ofpower. The floating-point actuator is driven by the UVC using twobinary (Triac) outputs.

Face & Bypass Damper Control(software model 10)The UVC is configured for a F&BP damper operated by a floating-point actuator. The floating-point actuator is driven by the UVC usingtwo binary (Triac) outputs.

The most important aspect of troubleshooting unit ventilator controlsis to isolate the source of the problem into one of two categories: 1) theproblem resides within the UVC, or 2) the problem is external to theUVC. Under most circumstances the problem will reside external to theUVC.

Alarm and Fault MonitoringThe UVC is programmed to monitor the unit for specific alarmconditions. If an alarm condition exists, a fault will occur. When a faultcondition occurs, the UVC will indicate the fault condition by displayingthe fault code on the LUI, the remote wall-mounted sensor (optional)LED will flash a pattern indicating that a fault condition exists, the faultsignal binary output will be energized, and the UVC will perform theappropriate control actions.Manual reset faults can be reset in one of three ways: 1) cycle unitpower, 2) LUI menu, or 3) via network interface.
