unit ventilators and blower coils) before changing to
another speed. Initially running on high speed provides
adequate torque to start the fan motor from the OFF
position.
Note: In occupied mode, the UC400 controller requires
continuous fan operation because of cascade zone
control. In unoccupied mode, the fan cycles.
Manual Fan Speed Control (UC400)
Regardless of the fan type, the fan runs continuously at the
desired fan speed during occupied, occupied standby, and
occupied bypass operation as follows:
• When the controller receives a communicated fan
speed signal (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
• The associated fan speed s
witch is set to a specific fan
speed
• The Supply Fan Speed Request point is overridden
During unoccupied operation, the fan cycles between OFF
and HIGH,
regardless of the communicated fan speed
signal or fan speed switch setting (unless either of these is
OFF, which in turn, will control the fan OFF).
The fan turns OFF when:
• The controller receives a communicated OFF signal
• The fan speed switch is set to OFF
• Specific diagnostics are generated
• The default fan speed is set to OFF and the
fan is
operating in the AUTO mode
Note: Th
e supply fan speed source can be configured for
BAS, local, or default value control using the Tracer
TU service tool.
AUTO Fan Operation; 1-, 2-, 3-speed Fans
(UC400)
When the controller receives a communicated auto signal
(or the associated fan speed switch is set to AUTO with no
communicated value present), the fan operates in the
AUTO mode. In AUTO mode, the fan operates according
to the fan default (configurable using the Tracer TU service
tool). The fan speed has multiple speed configurations
(default is AUTO) or set to OFF for both heating and
cooling operation. When configured as AUTO (and with
multiple speeds available), the fan changes based on the
required capacity calculated by the control algorithm.
AUTO Fan Operation; ECM Energy Efficient
Mode (UC400)
When the controller is configured for Energy Efficient
Mode, by means of the Fan Operating Mode Request MV
point, the controller and daughter board will minimize
energy use by running the fan at the lowest possible speed
while maintaining space temperature. The controller will
fully utilize valves, economizer, or electric heat which
increases fan speed to meet space temperature (unless the
fan has been manually controlled. Refer to the preceding
section, “Manual Fan Speed Control (UC400)”).
AUTO Fan Operation; ECM Acoustical Mode
(UC400)
When the controller is configured for Acoustical Mode, by
means of the Fan Operating Mode Request MV point, the
controller and daughter board will minimize acoustical
nuisance by balancing changes in fan speed and total fan
noise. The controller will fully OPEN cooling and heating
valves before increasing fan speed to meet space
temperature (unless the fan has been manually controlled.
Refer to the preceding section, “Manual Fan Speed
Control (UC400)”). If multiple stages of electric heat exist
the controller will use a single minimum air flow for each
stage.
Exhaust Control (UC400)
Exhaust control is achieved by a single-speed exhaust fan
and controlled by binary output 2 (BO2). Exhaust control,
if not present, can be enabled by selecting Ye s under the
Exhaust Fan Selection on the Tracer TU Configuration
page under the Equipment Options group.
Note: Exhaust fan configuration cannot be selected with
3-speed fan operation.
Important: If exhaust control is added to an existing
configuration, all other configuration
options should be verified to match the
correct equipment options.Temperature
and flow setpoints will revert to default
values.
The exhaust function is coordinated with the supply fan
and outdoor/return air dampers as follows:
• The exhaust fan energizes when the fan
is running and
when the outdoor air damper position is greater than
or equal to the exhaust fan enable position (or the
outside air damper position at which the exhaust fan
turns ON).
• The exhaust fan turns OFF when
the fan either turns
OFF or the outdoor air damper closes to 10 percent
below the exhaust
fan enable position.
• If the exhaust fan/damper enable setpoint is less
than
10 percent, the exhaust output is energized if the
outdoor air damper position is at the setpoint and de-
energized at 0.
Valve Operation (UC400)
The UC400 controller supports one or two modulating or
two-position valves, depending on the application (refer
Table 23, p. 84). The controller opens and closes the
appropriate valve(s) to maintain the active zone
temperature setpoint at the heating setpoint in heating
mode or the cooling setpoint in cooling mode (refer to
“Cascade Zone Control,” p. 81).
