CONTROL SYSTEMThe UC Open XP control system consists of the UC Open

XP control module, the UC Open XP I/O expander, sensorsand other controlled devices.

Control Module — The UC Open XP control modulewhen factory installed is mounted in its own dedicated controlplenum. Inside the module is a control board, which contains amicroprocessor that controls the operation of the unit. The con-trols software is not factory loaded onto the UC Open XP northe UC Open XP IO expander as this software is selected andloaded in the field via a software development platform (e.g.,Application Builder or SNAP). Dependent upon the controlsselected, the control module will continuously monitor inputsand will control outputs such as the supply fan, cooling andheating coil valves, electric heat, DX (direct expansion) cool-ing, and air quality sensor.

The UC Open XP I/O expander module mounts directly tothe front of the UC Open XP and comes installed this way for

all 39M models. A connection terminal to daisy-chain themodule to additional modules within the BACnet or otherbuilding management systems on the front of the UC Open XPcontrol module. Refer to Fig. 3.

The UC Open XP module monitors multiple inputs fromsensors and other devices within the system, and sends multi-ple output signals. Device inputs and outputs are wired to theUC Open XP and UC Open XP I/O expander via multiple ter-minals. Refer to Fig. 4 and 5 and Table 1 for detailed wiringinformation.

The UC Open XP communicates using BACnet on an MS/TP network segment communications at 9600 bps. 19.2 kbps,38.4 kbps, or 76.8 kbps.

Wire the controllers on an MS/TP network segment in a dai-sy-chain configuration.

Install a BT485 terminator on the first and last controller ona network segment to add bias and prevent signal distortionsdue to echoing.

CONTROL HARDWAREThe UC Open XP control module works in conjunction

with the following equipment by receiving inputs and sendingoutputs to the sensors, switches, dampers and other devices inthe system. Figure 6 shows the air handler with typical sensorsand actuators installed.

All factory-installed sensors will be wired to one of 2 loca-tions based on the controls option selected in AHUBuilder®

program as outlined below:

WiringNO PRODUCT INTEGRATED CONTROLS — No sen-sors are installed nor wired in the AHU.FACTORY WIRED, NO CONTROLLER — All factory-installed sensors are wired to a terminal strip normally locatedin either a control plenum or the supply fan section.FACTORY WIRED, UNPROGRAMMED CONTROLLERIN CONTROL PLENUM — All factory-installed sensors arewired to a terminal strip inside the control plenum. The UCOpen XP controller is then wired to the terminal strip andmounted inside the control plenum.NOTE: If shipping splits exist, wiring will be terminated ateach split with a Molex-type quick connect at each end of thewiring.Sensors — Various factory-installed and field-installedsensors are available to provide varying amounts of controlwithin the air-handling system. Following are the factory avail-able sensors that work in conjunction with the UC Open XPand XP I/O expander.

Table 3 lists the standard and optional factory-installed sen-sors provided with each controls option in AHUBuilderprogram.SUPPLY-AIR TEMPERATURE (SAT) SENSOR (P/N33ZCSENSAT) — The SAT sensor is factory-installed andwired when either of the “Factory Wired” control options isselected in the AHUBuilder program. The sensor is normal-ly located in the discharge of the supply fan unless heatingor cooling coils are located downstream of the fan (blow-thru fans only). In a blow-thru situation, the sensor is locat-ed on the discharge end of the last blow thru coil. The sen-sor consists of a thermistor encased within a stainless steelprobe. See Fig. 7. The sensor's thermistor has a range of–245 to 185 F with a nominal resistance of 10,000 ohms at77 F.NOTE: For all Carrier air-handling units, the temperature ofthe supply air includes both fan and motor heat.RETURN-AIR TEMPERATURE (RAT) SENSOR — Thereturn-air temperature sensor (33ZCSENPAT) is ordered

separately as an accessory for field installation in the return airduct. The sensor consists of a thermistor encased within a stain-less steel probe. See Fig. 7.

The sensor’s thermistor has a temperature range of –40 to245 F with a nominal resistance of 10,000 ohms at 77 F.CO2 SENSOR — The CO2 sensor (Fig. 8) monitors carbondioxide levels and is a field-installed accessory. As CO2 levelsincrease, the controller adjusts the outside-air dampers to in-crease ventilation and improve the indoor-air quality. The sen-sor can be wall mounted or duct mounted, however an Aspira-tor Box (P/N 33ZCASPCO2) is required to house the CO2 sen-sor for duct installation. Sensor part numbers are listed inTable 2.

The CO2 sensor uses a Dual Beam Absorption Infrared™method to detect levels of CO2 present in the air. All CO2 sen-sors are set to the factory default measurement range of 0 to2000 ppm and are adjustable to up to 10,000 ppm. The digitaldisplay will show concentrations in the range of 0 to 10,000ppm with a sensitivity of ± 10 ppm and resolution of ± 1 ppm.Under typical conditions of 60 F to 90 F, the sensor accuracy is±50 ppm or ± 3% of reading in the 0 to 2000 ppm range and±5% of reading in the 2000 to 10,000 ppm range. The sensorwill operate in conditions of 32 F to 122 F and 0 to 95% RH,non-condensing.

Also available are CO2/space temperature sensors thathouse the two sensors in a single unit. These sensors use a Sin-gle Beam Absorption Infrared™ diffusion technology to moni-tor CO2 levels and have a 10,000 thermistor to measure spacetemperature. This sensor has the same measurement range asthe CO2 sensors, with an accuracy of ± 110 ppm in the 0 to2000 ppm range under typical conditions of 60 F to 90 F.

Figure 9 shows ventilation rates for various CO2 set pointswhen outside air with a typical CO2 level of 350 ppm is used todilute the air.

The CO2 sensor has a 4 to 20 mA output that is converted to0 to 5 vdc by a 250 ohm, ¼ watt, 2% tolerance resistor connect-ed across the zone controller's CO2 input terminals.

OUTDOOR-AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (OAT)(P/N 33ZCSENOAT) — The OAT sensor is ordered separat-edly for field installation and consists of a thermistor encasedwithin a probe. See Fig. 10.

The OAT Sensor has an operating range of –40 F to 245 Fwith a nominal resistance of 10,000 ohms at 77 F and an accu-racy of ± 36 F. SPACE TEMPERATURE (SPT) SENSOR (CV UnitsOnly) — The space temperature sensor has a low profile en-closure in a neutral color and is available in 4 different offer-ings. See Table 4. The SPT Pro (Fig. 11) has a large, easy-to-read LCD and displays space temperature, outside-air tempera-ture, heating set point, cooling set point, time and a local over-ride for after hours occupancy.

The SPT sensor provides a hidden communication port al-lowing a laptop computer or a BACview keypad to commis-sion and maintain the connected equipment easily. MultipleSPT sensors can be daisy-chained to one controller for temper-ature averaging or high/low select control (one SPT Pro+ withup to four SPT Standard sensors). See Table 5.

The SPT sensor contains a precise 10,000 ohm thermistorwith +0.36 F standard accuracy and less than 0.18 F drift over aten-year span. The sensor has a range of 50 F to 95 F.

MIXED-AIR TEMPERATURE (MAT) SENSOR — Themixed-air temperature sensor measures the temperature of theair leaving the mixing box. The MAT sensor is factory sup-plied and installed when either of the "Factory Wired" controloptions is selected in the AHUBuilder® program and a mixingbox or filter mixing box is present. The sensor is located insidethe last mixing box in the airflow.

The MAT sensor consists of multiple thermistors evenlyspaced and encased within a flexible copper tube, whichprovides average temperature sensing. The sensor tubing isinstalled on the downstream side of the mixing box and isserpentined so it can sense average temperature. The MAThas a range of –40 to 185 F with a nominal resistance of10,000 ohms at 77 F.PREHEAT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (PHEAT) — Thepreheat temperature sensor measures the temperature of the airleaving the preheat coil. The sensor is factory supplied and in-stalled when there is an extended length electric heating coil inits own section before a cooling coil and either of the "FactoryWired" control options is selected in the AHU Builder pro-gram. The PHEAT sensor is normally on the downstream sideof the heating coil in the heating coil section.

The sensor consists of multiple thermistors evenly spacedand encased within a flexible copper tube, which providesaverage temperature sensing. The sensor tubing is installed onthe downstream side of the preheat coil and is serpentined so itcan sense average temperature. The preheat sensor has a rangeof –40 to 185 F with a nominal resistance of 10,000 ohms at77 F.LOW-TEMPERATURE THERMOSTAT (LTT) (Fig.12) — The low-temperature thermostat (often referred to as afreezestat) protects the chilled water from freezing when ab-normally cold air passes through the coil. The sensor is factorysupplied and installed when there is a factory supplied and in-stalled steam or water heating and/or cooling coil and either ofthe "Factory Wired" control options is selected in the AHU

Builder program. The LTT is a factory-installed 20-ft long cap-illary tube mounted in the airstream on the entering side of thechilled water coil or the leaving air side of the first hot watercoil if no cooling is supplied in the equipment. The thermostatreset mechanism is provided inside the control box.

The low-temperature thermostat has a range of 35 to 60 Fand is factory-set to switch at 35 F. It can be field-adjusted tomeet the specific job requirements.

The thermostat is wired to the control box. If any one-footsection of the capillary senses air cooler than the thermostat setpoint, it causes the fan to shut down and an alarm is generated.A manual reset inside the control box can restart the fan afterthe problem is corrected and the coil temperature has risen byat least 5 F. The location of the reset eliminates the need toopen the air handler.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY SENSORS — The relative humidi-ty sensor can either be wall mounted (Fig. 13), duct mounted oroutdoor mounted. Relative humidity sensors can be used fordehumidification control, for monitoring the relative humidityin the occupied space or for monitoring the relative humidity inthe outdoor air. These sensors use bulk polymer resistancetechnology, which eliminates the effect of surface contamina-tion and helps maintain the sensor accuracy over a long periodof time.

The wall-mounted relative humidity sensor is normally in-stalled on an interior wall where the relative humidity is repre-sentative of the entire zone to be serviced. The duct mountedrelative humidity sensor is normally mounted in the zone's re-turn air duct, and the outdoor relative humidity sensor is nor-mally mounted where the sensor is protected from the elementsand direct sunlight, such as under an eave.

The relative humidity sensors have a range of 0 to 99%RH< non-condensing and operate at temperatures from 40 F to130 F. Their accuracy at 77 F is ± 2% RH from 10 to 80% and± 3% RH from 80-99%. The wall-mounted sensor has an out-put of 4 to 20mA, the duct-mounted sensor has a 0 to 5 vdc out-put and the outside sensor has a 0 to 10 vdc output. Part num-bers for each are shown in the following table.

SwitchesFAN STATUS SWITCH — The fan status switch monitorsany change in AC current that is indicative of a motor failure,belt loss or slippage or mechanical failure of the fan. The fanstatus switch is factory supplied with each supply, return andexhaust fan when either of the "Factory Wired" control optionsare selected. The switch is factory-installed and wired when aVFD, starter or disconnect is factory-installed and sufficientroom exists. Otherwise, the switch is factory supplied for fieldinstallation.

The fan status switch includes two status LED indicatorsthat will indicate one of three states: tripped on, current presentbut below trip point, and current off or below the low end of theadjustable trip point range.

The fan status switch has an amperage rating of 0.32 to 150amps continuous and a maximum sensing current voltage of600 vac.DIFFERENTIAL ENTHALPY CONTROL — The enthal-py switch/receiver (P/N 33CSENTHSW) and the enthalpy sen-sor (P/N 33CSENTSEN) are available for differential enthalpycontrol (Fig. 14). The enthalpy switch/receiver, mounted in theoutdoor air intake, calculates the outdoor air enthalpy. The en-thalpy sensor, mounted in the return airstream, calculates theindoor air enthalpy. The enthalpy switch/receiver energizes theHI enthalpy relay output when the outdoor enthalpy is greaterthan the indoor enthalpy, and the LOW enthalpy terminal whenthe outdoor enthalpy is lower than the indoor enthalpy.

The switch and sensor have an operating range of –40 to140 F and a 0 to 100% (non condensing) operating relative hu-midity. The switch/receiver has a sourced 24 vac through 10amp form 1C relay output, and the sensor has a 2-wire, 4 to20 mA loop powered output. Both are accurate to ± 1 Btu/lb at77 F.FILTER STATUS SWITCH (P/N 33AMSENFLT000) —The filter status switch is factory-installed in a filter or filtermixing box section if ordered via a drop down menu in theAHUBuilder® program when either of the "Factory Wired"control options is selected. The FLTS is a snap-acting SPDTswitch. When dirty filter elements cause the pressure dropacross the filter media to exceed the switch setting, the switch

closes and causes an alarm signal to be generated at the controlbox.

The FLTS has an operating range of 0.05 to 2.0 in. wg andcan be adjusted for field-installed filter elements. The switch isfactory set to trip at 0.5 in. wg. See the following for recom-mended settings for all filter types:

RelaysMODULATING MIXED-AIR DAMPER ACTUA-TORS — The mixed-air damper actuators are factory sup-plied and installed when ordered via a drop down menu in theAHUBuilder program. When installed, the actuators are doneso directly on the damper jackshaft. If more than one damperis located inside of the mixing box, either separate actuators oneach damper or one actuator with damper linkage can be or-dered.

The actuators consist of an electronically controlled revers-ible motor equipped with a microprocessor drive. This driveprovides constant speed regardless of load, which maintainsproper position for all dampers.

All actuators are capable of holding their position at anypoint in the stroke and moving the dampers in either direction.

All actuators have a spring return feature that automaticallycloses the damper to outside air whenever there is a loss ofpower. Spring return means reliable fail-safe operation andpositive close-off on airtight dampers.

The actuators provide 95 degrees of rotation and include agraduated position indicator showing –5 to 90 degrees. Theactuator has a unique manual positioning mechanism thatallows the setting of any damper position within its rotation.

Actuators are shipped in the zero position (5 degrees fromfully closed) to provide automatic compression against dampergaskets for tight shutoff. When power is applied, the manualmechanism is released and the actuator drives toward the fullyclosed position. The actuator will memorize the angle where itstops rotating and use this point for its zero position during nor-mal control operations. The manual override can also be releasedphysically by using the crank supplied with the actuator.

The actuators are 24 V with a 2 to 10 VDC output signal anda 4 to 20 mA control signal.

FACE AND BYPASS DAMPERS ACTUATORS — Faceand bypass damper actuators are factory supplied and in-stalled when ordered via a dropdown menu in the AHUBuilder® program. These actuators are of the same makeand type as the mixed-air damper actuators.

Electric Heat Control — Electric heaters can be con-trolled via an electric heat sequencer, SCR controller or Verniercontroller as described below.ELECTRIC HEAT SEQUENCER — The UCS-621E is asolid-state device used for multi-stage electric heater con-trol. This transducer can be factory supplied and wired ifordered via the AHUBuilder program and will be installedinside the electric heat control compartment. The UCS-621E provides six stages of relay control with adjustable re-lay setpoints and differentials, requires 24 VAC/VDC pow-er and provides a LED indication of relay status. The elec-tric heat transducer accepts a 0 to 20 mA or 0 to 15 vdc in-put singal and has an operating temperature range of 32 to158 F with a humidity limit of 5% to 95% relative, non-con-densing. SCR CONTROLLER — The silicon controlled rectifier isavailable via a drop down in AHUBuilder for low kW elec-tric heaters on un-sheathed wire elements only. The SCRcontroller is a solid state device that provides 0 to 100%power control. With no moving parts, the SCR controller isboth stepless and noiseless and provides a much longer op-erational life for an electric heater.

The SCR controller is a semiconductor rectifier that canconduct and block current flow in the forward direction de-pending on the control or "gate" signal given while alsoblocking current flow in the reverse direction (operating asa diode). See Fig. 15. The SCR has 2 states, ON and OFF.During the ON stage, a control signal is applied between the

gate and cathode and allows the current to flow through theSCR to the heater (the SCR is now a conductor). During theOFF stage, the control signal is removed and since no volt-age is applied across the gate and cathode, no current willflow through the SCR to the heater (SCR is now an insula-tor).

Since the SCR as described above allows current to flowin only one direction, it will only allow half of the AC cur-rent waveform to be conducted. As a result, a second SCRis used and is connected in parallel but in the opposite direc-tion to the first SCR. This configuration, known as the"back-to-back" configuration, conducts both halves of theAC waveform delivering maximum power. See Fig. 16.

The SCR utilizes time proportioning control to produce anear infinite power control resolution. In time proportion-ing control, the SCR will provide a pulse proportioned overa 1-second period to achieve the desired percentage of heat-er control or ON time. For example, if the heater is to oper-ate at 50% load, then the SCR controller will be ON for 500milliseconds transferring current to the heater and OFF forthe following 500 milliseconds where no current is trans-ferred, and the process then repeats (please see Fig. 17). Ifthe heater were to operate at full load, then the SCR will beON and provide current for the entire 1-second period andthen repeat (continuous power). See Fig. 17.

The SCR controller is designed to receive a 0 to 10 vdc,4 to 20 mA or 0 to 135 ohm control signal. The controlleroperates between 32 and 176 F from 0% to 95% relative hu-midity, non-condensing. The SCR provides an auto shut-off feature when the SCR ambient temperature is above180 F and requires a 24 vac (+10%, –15%) power supply.VERNIER CONTROLLER — The Vernier controller isavailable via a drop down in AHUBuilder® program forhigh kW electric heaters on un-sheathed wire elements only.The Vernier controller is a combination of a standard multi-stage controller and an SCR controller and provides 0 to100% power control for an electric heater. The Verniercontroller is an economical means of power control at highkW loads as it modulates the SCR portion of the controllerbetween each operating stage of the standard stage control-ler. For example, when the electric heater requires powerbetween the set points of any 2 stages, the lower stage is en-ergized and then the SCR controller is energized to providethe precise level of power required.

The Vernier controller is designed to receive a 0 to 10vdc, 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 135 ohm control signal. The con-troller operates between 32 and 176 F from 0% to 95% rela-tive humidity, non-condensing. The SCR provides an autoshut-off feature when the SCR ambient temperature isabove 180 F and requires a 24 vac (+10%, –15%) powersupply.

VALVE SELECTIONSelect a valve where the pressure drop is equal to 50% of

the total system pressure drop or 5 psig, whichever is greater.The examples below use this method. An alternate selectionprocedure is described at the end of this section.

Two-Way Hot Water or Chilled WaterValves — Figures 18 and 19 illustrate typical piping for a 2-way valve. To select the correct valve, follow the procedureoutlined in the selection example below:

DIRECT EXPANSION (DX) COOLING

General — Direct expansion (DX) cooling applications arenot directly controlled via the UC Open XP. Direct expansioncooling applications are controlled only by the applicable con-densers controller by controlling the staging of the compressors.Most condensers offer a factory-installed digital compressor op-tion composed of one digital scroll compressor and the rest ofthe compressors being the standard type scroll compressors. Be-low is information regarding digital compressor control. For fur-ther information regarding compressor control, the applicablecondenser control guide should be used.

Digital Compressor — The digital compressor has theability to load and unload rapidly, and the load/unload timing canbe varied to achieve unit capacity and closely match the load.The digital scroll option provides better capacity control by digi-tally modulating capacity, effectively increasing the number ofcompression stages. The digital scroll compressor modulates thecapacity output using a digital unloader solenoid (DUS) which isactivated by a signal from the controller to allow the scroll sets torapidly separate (stop compressing) and reengage (resume com-pressing) during operation. The supply air (SAT) and return air(RAT) sensors are the necessary inputs to stage unloading for alldigital compressors, and are used to determine the temperaturedrop across the evaporator coils to determine the optimum ca-pacity of the digital compressor.

The digital scroll compressor operates in two stages, the load-ed state when the solenoid valve is normally closed and the un-loaded state when the solenoid valve is energized. These twostages rapidly alternate between full capacity and zero capacitywhere during the loaded state the compressor operates like astandard scroll and delivers full capacity and mass flow, and dur-ing the unloaded state, the compressor does not flow refrigerant.

The capacity of the system is varied by varying the time thecompressor operates in an unloaded and loaded state during a set

period of time, normally 15 seconds. For example, if the DUS isenergized for 7.5 seconds, the compressor will be operating at50% capacity. If the DUS is energized for 11 seconds, the com-pressor will be operating at approximately 25% of its capacity.Capacity is the time averaged summation of loaded and unload-ed states, and its range is nearly continuous from 10% to 100%.

The digital compressor is always installed in the first on, lastoff compressor position. For example, when installed in a38APD condensing unit, the digital compressor is always in-stalled in the A1 position, and the resulting sequence of com-pressor operation can be seen in Table 7. The remaining com-pressors are normally standard scroll compressors and are con-trolled via compressor staging (on/off depending on neededcapacity). VARIABLE AIR VOLUME (VAV) SYSTEMS WITH DXCOOLING — VAV systems with DX cooling modulate thecondenser compressors based on maintaining the supply air tem-perature set point. Supply-air temperature (SAT) and return-airtemperature (RAT) sensor inputs are needed for controlling theoperation of the compressors. These inputs can be obtained bythe condenser's controller either directly from the SAT and RAT,or indirectly from the UC Open XP and the UPC Open BACnetcommunication option on the 38APD condensing unit..

When designing a VAV system, it is recommended to useonly row-split DX coils. This prevents the possibilities of freez-ing the condensate to the coil during part load operation at lowloads.CONSTANT VOLUME (CV) SYSTEMS WITH DXCOOLING — Constant volume systems with DX coolingmodulate the condenser compressors based on maintaining thespace temperature set point as can be determined from spacetemperature thermostats. The inputs from the space temperaturethermostats can be obtained by the condenser controller eitherdirectly or via the UPC Open BACnet communication option onthe 38APD condensing unit.

NOTES:1. These capacity steps may vary due to different capacity staging

sequences.

WIRING GUIDELINES

Component Wiring — Each field-installed control devicewill come with installation instructions, including the appropri-ate wiring guidelines.

System Wiring — Since air-handling systems are normallymade up of multiple component sections, Carrier has designedthe control system wiring using quick connect Molex type con-nectors on wires that run between sections.

There may be multiple devices mounted within the varioussections, which all must connect back to the UC Open XP andXP/IO modules mounted on the supply fan section.

OPERATING SEQUENCES

NOTE: The UC Open XP can be configured utilizing manydifferent software applications. The following outline of theoperating sequence is based on selections from i-Vu® Applica-tion Builder software.

Constant Volume and Variable Air Volume UnitsTWO-POSITION DAMPER CONTROL — Two-positiondamper control opens or closes field-supplied and field-installedtwo-position outdoor-air dampers to provide minimum outdoorair ventilation.

If the supply fan is OFF, the damper is closed. If the supplyfan is ON, the UC Open XP control determines if the unit is inthe Occupied mode. If unit is in the Occupied mode, the damp-ers open and will maintain a minimum adjustable position. Ifunit is in the Unoccupied mode, the dampers remain closed.FILTER STATUS — This control monitors the differentialpressure between the upstream and downstream side of a filter.

When the filter becomes dirty or needs to be replaced, theairflow switches send a discrete signal to the UC Open XP con-trol. This, in turn, generates an alarm locally or at customeruser interface.FAN CONTROL — The supply fan is started or stoppedbased on an occupancy schedule, unit optimal (temperaturecompensated) start, nighttime (unoccupied) free cooling, unoc-cupied heating, unoccupied cooling, timed override, or the re-mote contact input.

The start of an occupied period is determined by either theoccupancy schedule, unit optimal start, or the remote contactinput. If unit optimal start is not used, the supply fan starts atthe occupied time entered in the occupancy schedule or whenthe remote contact input is closed. If unit optimal start is select-ed, the fan starts at the calculated start time (this algorithm willminimize the unoccupied warm-up or cool-down period whilestill achieving comfort conditions by the start of the scheduledoccupied period). The fan stops at the unoccupied time enteredin the occupancy schedule. (Timed override may be used toprovide an occupied period to a user adjustable timeframe.)

During the unoccupied period, whenever the space tempera-ture falls below the unoccupied heating set point or rises abovethe unoccupied cooling set point, the supply fan energizes andruns until the space temperature returns to within the requiredlimits.

The supply fan can also run during the unoccupied periodwhen the unit is in the Nighttime Free Cooling mode to pre-cool the space prior to the occupied period.NIGHTTIME FREE COOLING MODE — Nighttime (un-occupied) free cooling is used to start the supply fan to precoolthe building’s interior using outside air. This delays the need formechanical cooling when the system enters the Occupiedmode.

The system determines if the outside conditions (tempera-ture and enthalpy) are suitable for cooling. If conditions are

suitable and cooling is necessary, the supply fan is energizedand the dampers modulate open. Once the space has beensufficiently cooled, the fan stops.

If the outside air conditions are not suitable, the fan remainsOFF.

The unit must be equipped with mixed-air dampers toprovide nighttime free cooling.

Nighttime free cooling can be provided whenever the unit isin the unoccupied mode, conditions are suitable, and the night-time free cooling feature has been selected. INDOOR-AIR QUALITY (IAQ) — This function maintainsthe correct occupied ventilation rate using CO2 as an indicatorof occupancy level or controls the levels of volatile organiccompounds (VOCs) or other indoor air pollutants by modulat-ing the outside air dampers. Varying quantities of outdoor airare admitted during the Occupied period to maintain the venti-lation rate at a set point which ensures the pollutant level doesnot exceed the configured set point of the air-quality (AQ)sensor.

The sensor can be either duct-mounted in the return-air ductor mounted within the conditioned space. The sensor will beused to continuously monitor the pollutant level during occu-pied periods.

During the unoccupied period, the damper position is notaffected by the IAQ control. During the occupied period, theUC Open XP control reads the AQ sensor input and comparesit to the configured set point. The UC Open XP control thencalculates the minimum damper position to maintain the setpoint. If no other control is attempting to adjust the dampers toa more fully open position than the IAQ control, the damper isadjusted to the position determined by the IAQ control. Other-wise, the damper is positioned by the superseding control rou-tine or at its configured minimum position.UNIT OPTIMAL START — Unit Optimal (temperature com-pensated) Start is used to heat up or cool down the space priorto occupancy so the space temperature will reach the occupiedset point at time of occupancy. The UC Open XP control usesspace temperature and an occupied set point to determine thetime in minutes that the system should be started in advance ofthe occupied time.FIRE/SMOKE SHUTDOWN — Fire/Smoke Shutdown isused to stop the unit supply and return fan whenever a field-supplied and installed fire/smoke sensor connected to the inputis energized. The status of the input is continuously monitoredby the UC Open XP control. If the fan is operating, it is imme-diately stopped by the UC Open XP control upon receiving afire shutdown status. The alarm can be annunciated locally atthe alarm output as well as repeated through the network to aBuilding Supervisor.SMOKE PRESSURIZATION/PURGE — Upon receiving asmoke pressurization status signal, the unit will start the supplyfan, stop the return fan, open the outside air dampers and closethe return and exhaust air dampers. Upon receiving a smokepurge signal, the unit will start both the supply and return fanswhile opening the outdoor and exhaust air dampers and closingthe return air damper.

Constant Volume Units OnlyHEATING COIL CONTROL — The heating coil controladjusts the steam or hot water valve. The valve is modulated toprevent the space temperature from falling below the desiredheating set point.

If the supply fan is OFF, the heating valve is modulated tomaintain a desired minimum duct temperature.

If the fan is ON, the UC Open XP control reads the spacesensor and computes the supply-air temperature required to sat-isfy conditions.

Once the required supply-air temperature has been calculat-ed, it is compared to the actual supply-air temperature and theheating coil valve modulates to the required position.

For those systems where the heating coil is located down-stream from the cooling coil, if dehumidification is beingprovided by the cooling coil control and Reheat has beenselected, the valve is modulated in order to maintain thesupply-air temperature above a user-configured temperature setpoint.FACE AND BYPASS HEATING COIL CONTROL — Theheating coil control is used to position a set of face and bypassdampers immediately upstream of a steam or hot water heatingcoil. The damper set is modulated to prevent the space temper-ature from falling below the desired heating set point.

If the fan is off, the dampers are positioned to the full bypassposition and the heating control valve is closed. To maintainthe minimum desired duct temperature while the fan is OFF,the heating valve is opened as necessary.

If the fan is on, the UC Open XP control reads the spacetemperature sensor and computes the supply-air temperaturerequired to satisfy the desired set point.

Once the required supply-air temperature has been calculat-ed, it is compared to the actual supply-air temperature and theface and bypass damper set is modulated to the required posi-tion. The heating valve is opened whenever the damper setmoves away from the full bypass position.

For those systems where the heating coil is located down-stream from the cooling coil, if dehumidification is beingprovided by the cooling coil control and Reheat has beenselected, the damper set is modulated in order to maintain thesupply-air temperature above a user-configured leaving airtemperature.CHILLED WATER COIL COOLING CONTROL — Thecooling coil control adjusts the chilled water valve. The valveis modulated to prevent space temperature from exceeding thedesired cooling set point. The valve remains closed if the spacetemperature is below the set point, or the supply fan is OFF orthe economizer (if present) is operational or not fully open.

If the fan is ON, the UC Open XP control reads the humidi-ty sensor (optional) and compares the value to the high humidi-ty limit.

If the humidity is higher than the high humidity limit, thechilled water valve opens.

If the humidity is below the high humidity limit, the UCOpen XP control reads the space temperature sensor and com-putes the supply-air temperature required to satisfy conditions.

Once the required supply-air temperature has been calculat-ed, it is compared to the actual supply-air temperature andthe chilled water valve modulates to the position required tomaintain desired conditions.FACE AND BYPASS COOLING COIL CONTROL — Thecooling coil control is used to position a set of face and bypassdampers immediately upstream of a chilled water cooling coil.The damper set is modulated to prevent the space temperaturefrom exceeding the desired cooling set point.

If the fan is off, the dampers are positioned to the fullbypass position and the chilled water control valve is closed.

If the fan is on, the UC Open XP control reads the humiditysensor (optional) and compares the value to the high-humiditylimit. If the humidity value exceeds the set point, the damperset modulates to the full face position and the chilled watervalve is opened. If the humidity is below the high humiditylimit, the UC Open XP control reads the space temperature andcalculates the supply air temperature required to satisfy thedesired set point.

Once the required supply-air temperature has been calculat-ed, it is compared to the actual supply-air temperature (read from

the sensor) and the face and bypass damper set is modulated tothe required position. The cooling valve is open whenever thedamper set moves away from the full bypass position.DIRECT EXPANSION COOLING CONTROL — The directexpansion (DX) cooling control regulates the DX cooling sys-tem. The DX cooling system is controlled via the compressorsin the condensing units and are controlled directly by the con-denser's controller. In a VAV system, the compressors are mod-ulated to maintain the supply air temperature set point and out-puts from the RAT and SAT sensors are read directly by thecondenser controller or indirectly via the UC Open XP via theUPC Open BACnet communication option. In a CV system,the compressors are modulated to maintain the space tempera-ture set point, and the outputs from the space temperature ther-mostats can be read directly by the condenser controller or in-directly via the UPC Open BACnet communication option.MIXED-AIR DAMPER CONTROL — The mixed-air dampercontrol adjusts modulating outside-air, return-air, and exhaustair dampers. When outside air conditions are unsuitable foratmospheric cooling, the dampers are held to an adjustableminimum outside air percentage. When outside air conditionsare suitable for atmospheric cooling, the mixed-air dampers aremodulated in an effort to minimize the need for heating or me-chanical cooling. The damper set point is automatically calcu-lated from the desired set points.

If the supply fan is OFF or operating for unoccupiedheating, the mixed-air dampers are kept closed to outside airand open to return air.

If the fan is ON and the control is in the Occupied mode, theUC Open XP control checks to see if the system is in the HEATmode.

If the system is in the HEAT mode, the mixed-air dampersare positioned to provide only the user-configured minimumpercentage of outdoor air. If the system is not in the HEATmode, the UC Open XP control determines if the outside con-ditions are suitable for atmospheric cooling and then comparesthe outdoor-air temperature to the space temperature. If the out-door-air temperature is less than the space temperature, the sys-tem does either an enthalpy check (using an outside-air enthal-py switch) or a differential enthalpy check (return-air enthalpyis compared to outside-air enthalpy).

If outside conditions are suitable, the UC Open XP controlcompares the space temperature to the damper set pointand computes the mixed-air temperature required to satisfyconditions.

Once the required mixed-air temperature has been calculated,it is compared to the mixed-air temperature sensor value.The damper is adjusted as required to maintain the mixed airtemperature set point. The damper adjustment rate is automati-cally limited to prevent nuisance low temperature thermostattripping.ELECTRIC HEATER CONTROL — Electric heater controloperates the electric heater stages as required. The heater isstaged to prevent the space temperature from falling below thedesired set point.

If the supply fan is OFF, all stages of electric heat are turnedoff.

If the fan is ON, the cooling (if present) is not active and theoutside air temperature is less than a user defined setpoint theUC Open XP control reads the space temperature sensor andcalculates the supply-air temperature required to satisfyconditions.

Once the required supply-air temperature has been calculated,it is compared to the actual supply-air temperature to determinethe number of heat stages required to satisfy conditions. If morethan one stage is required, the stages are energized one at a time,with a delay between stages, and each stage will have a user de-finable minimum runtime.

Variable Air Volume Units OnlyHEATING COIL CONTROL — The heating coil controladjusts the steam or hot water valve. Heat is primarily usedfor Unit Optimal Start (morning warm-up) or Occupied Heat-ing with the valve modulated to maintain desired return-airtemperature.

If the supply fan is OFF, the heating valve is modulated tomaintain a desired minimum supply-air temperature.

If the fan is ON, the cooling (if present) is not active and theoutside air temperature is below a user-adjustable set point, thesystem determines if it is in the unit optimal start mode. If it is,the return-air sensor is read and compared to the OccupiedHeating set point. If heating is required, the UC Open XP con-trol calculates the supply-air temperature required to satisfyconditions.

Once the required supply-air temperature has been calculat-ed, it is compared to the actual supply-air temperature and theheating coil valve modulates to the required position.

Once the unit optimal start is completed, heat is not activat-ed again unless the supply air setpoint falls below the occupiedheating set point.

During cooling or fan-only operation, heat can also be provid-ed to maintain the supply-air temperature when the amount of coldoutside air admitted by the IAQ control causes the temperature tofall below the minimum supply-air duct temperature.

If dehumidification is being provided by the chilled watercoil cooling control the valve is modulated to maintain theminimum supply air duct temperature.FACE AND BYPASS HEATING CONTROL — The heat-ing coil control is used to position a set of face and bypassdampers immediately upstream from a steam or hot waterheating coil. Heat is primarily used for unit optimal start(morning warm-up) or Occupied Heating with the dampersmodulated to maintain the desired return-air temperature.

If the fan is off, the dampers are positioned to the full bypassposition, and the heating control valve is closed. If thesupply-air temperature drops below the minimum desired sup-ply air temperature, the heating control valve is opened as re-quired to maintain the desired set point.

If the fan is on, the UC Open XP control determines if it isin the Unit Optimal Start (morning warm-up) or OccupiedHeating mode. If true, the value of the supply air temperature isread by the UC Open XP control and is compared to the occu-pied heating set point. If heating is needed, the control calcu-lates the supply-air temperature required to satisfy the desiredset point.

Once the control has calculated the required supply-airtemperature, it compares the actual supply-air temperature tothe calculated value and modulates the face and bypass damperset as required to achieve this value.

Once the Unit Optimal Start is completed, heat is not acti-vated again unless the supply-air temperature falls below theoccupied heating set point.

During cooling or fan-only operation, heating is also used tomaintain the supply-air temperature when the amount of coldoutdoor air admitted by the IAQ control causes the supply-airtemperature to drop below the minimum supply-air tempera-ture set point.CHILLED WATER COIL COOLING CONTROL — Thecooling coil control adjusts the chilled water valve. The valveis modulated to maintain desired leaving-air temperature setpoint. The valve is closed whenever the system is in Nighttime(unoccupied) Free Cooling or whenever the supply fan is OFF.

If the fan is ON, the economizer (if present) is disabled orfully open, outside air temperature is greater than a user adjust-able setpoint and the heating (if present) is not active, the UC

Open XP control reads the humidity sensor (optional) and com-pares the value to the high humidity limit.

If the humidity is higher than the humidity limit, the chilledwater valve opens.

If the humidity is below the high humidity limit, or if no hu-midity sensor is supplied, the UC Open XP control reads the sup-ply-air sensor, and compares this value to the desired supply airtemperature set point. The chilled water valve is then modulatedas necessary to maintain the cooling set point.FACE AND BYPASS COOLING CONTROL — The cool-ing coil control is used to position a set of face and bypassdampers immediately upstream from a chilled water coolingcoil. The cooling coil control adjusts the position of the damp-ers to maintain the desired leaving-air temperature set point.

If the fan is off or nighttime (unoccupied) free cooling is ac-tive, the damper set is modulated to the full bypass position andthe chilled water valve is closed.

If the fan is on, the UC Open XP control reads the humiditysensor (optional) and compares the value to the high humiditylimit. If the humidity exceeds the limit, the damper set ismodulated to the full face position and the chilled water valveis opened.

If the humidity is below the high humidity limit, or if nohumidity sensor is supplied, the UC Open XP control reads thesupply air sensor, provided that the return-air temperature hasrisen above the Occupied Heating Set Point. The control thencalculates the desired supply-air temperature set point.

Once the required supply air set point has been calculated, itis compared to the current supply-air temperature and thedampers are modulated to the required position.STATIC PRESSURE CONTROL — The static pressure con-trol adjusts the supply-fan variable frequency drive (optional)in a variable air volume system in order to maintain the ductstatic pressure set point.

If the supply fan is OFF, the minimum speed signal is sentto the variable frequency drive.

If the fan is ON, the control reads the duct static pressuresensor. The system compares the duct static pressure to the setpoint and calculates the required signal that is output to thevariable frequency drive.ELECTRIC HEATER CONTROL — The electric heatercontrol operates the electric heater stages as required. Theheater is primarily used for Unit Optimal Start (morning warm-up) or Occupied Heating, with the heater staged to maintain thedesired return-air temperature.

If the supply fan is OFF, all stages of electric heat are turnedoff.

If the fan is ON, outside air temperature is below an adjust-able set point and the cooling (if present) is not active then theUC Open XP control determines if the stem is in Unit OptimalStart. If it is, the supply air sensor is read and compared to theoccupied heating set point. If heat is required, the UC Open XPcontrol calculates the supply-air temperature required to satisfyconditions.

Once the required supply-air temperature has been calculated,it is compared to the supply-air temperature sensor reading todetermine the number of heat stages required to satisfy condi-tions. The required stages are energized sequentially.

Once the unit optimal start is completed, heat is not activat-ed again unless the supply-air temperature drops below the oc-cupied heating set point.SUPPLY-AIR TEMPERATURE RESET — The supply-airtemperature reset is used to reset the supply-air temperature setpoint upward as the space air temperature falls below theOccupied Cooling set point, but not less than the occupiedheating set point. For every degree that the space temperaturefalls below the occupied cooling set point, the supply air

23

temperature set point will be reset upwards at the adjustableamount (nominally 1° F) up to an adjustable maximum (nomi-nally 75 F). When enabled, the supply air cooling set point willbe reset upwards every two minutes.

When the fan is ON, and the system is in the Occupiedmode, the UC Open XP control reads the space temperaturesensor and computes the reset value. If the reset value is greaterthan the reset limit, the UC Open XP control uses the reset limitas the reset value. The modified supply-air temperature setpoint is determined by adding the reset value to the configuredsupply-air temperature set point. This value is then used by thecooling coil and mixed-air damper control algorithm.MIXED-AIR DAMPER CONTROL — The mixed-air dampercontrol modulates the outside-air, return-air, and exhaust-airdampers. When outdoor-air conditions are unsuitable foratmospheric cooling, the dampers are positioned to provideonly the minimum percentage of outside air (adjustable) when-ever in the occupied mode. At all other times the mixed-airdampers are modulated to maintain a mixed-air temperatureequal to the calculated supply-air temperature set point minus2° F.

If the supply fan is OFF, the mixed-air temperature falls be-low an adjustable set point or the freezestat (if present) is on,the mixed-air dampers are held closed to outside air and heldopen to return air. If the supply fan is ON, the control is in oc-cupied mode and the system is in the HEAT mode, the mixed-air dampers are positioned to provide only the user-configuredminimum percentage of outdoor air. At all other times the sys-tem determines if outside-air conditions are suitable for atmo-spheric cooling. The outside-air temperature is compared to thespace temperature and if the outside-air temperature is less thanthe space temperature, the system performs either an enthalpycheck or a differential enthalpy check.

If the outside conditions are suitable, the UC Open XP con-trol modulates the damper to maintain the damper set point.The mixed-air damper opening rate is limited to protect againstnuisance low temperature thermostat tripping.COOLING MODE WITH ECONOMIZING — If the OA(outdoor air) temperature is less than the economizing setpoint, the OA temperature is less than the RA (return air) tem-perature and the OA enthalpy is less than the enthalpy switchset point:• The OA (outdoor air) and Recirc dampers will modulate

to maintain discharge air temperature at the discharge airtemperature set point.

• EA (exhaust air) and OA bypass dampers will remain100% open.

• Unit cooling and heating coil valves will remain closed.• The ERV exhaust fan will be enabled and run continuously.

Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) — The en-ergy recovery system sequence of operations is unchanged bythe incorporation of DCV. The CO2 sensors may override thenormal thermal controls and airflow measuring system (ifused) in some situations. The sequences included belowdiscuss the ventilation functions only and must be added to thedesigner’s description of thermal controls to create completeoperating sequences.CONSTANT VOLUME — PURGE CYCLE — At air handlerstart-up, the outdoor-air damper shall open, initiating a timedpurge cycle. The outdoor-air damper shall modulate tomaintain a predetermined percentage of outdoor air. The purgecycle shall be adjustable and set for a predetermined period oftime.

The air handler controller shall modulate its preheat coil tomaintain the discharge-air temperature set point if the mixed airtemperature falls below the discharge-air temperature set point.At the conclusion of the timed purge cycle, the outdoor-airdamper shall modulate closed to maintain a predetermined

base ventilation rate and the DCV control algorithm shall beenabled.CONSTANT VOLUME — SINGLE AND MULTI-ZONEAPPLICATIONS — All zones served by the air-handling unitshall be polled and the highest CO2 sensor reading will betaken by the air handler controller and used to control theoutdoor-air damper. The worse case CO2 reading shall becompared to the CO2 set point at the unit controller. If thereading is below an adjustable set point (nominally 550 ppmabove outside air CO2 levels), the air handler shall maintain thepredetermined minimum outdoor-air damper position. If thereading is above the set point, the air handler controller shallmodulate the outdoor-air damper open to increase the amountof ventilation to the space and reduce the CO2 concentration.Once the CO2 levels drop below the set point, the outside-airdampers shall modulate to maintain the base ventilation rate.

The economizer function is enabled when the air handlercontroller determines that it is beneficial to use outside air forcooling the space. Once the economizer function is enabled, ascommanded by the air handler controller, the outdoor-airdamper will modulate between minimum position and fullyopen to maintain the discharge-air temperature at the econo-mizing set point.VARIABLE-AIR-VOLUME SYSTEMS — Each zone con-troller shall include the inherent ability to override the tempera-ture control loop and modulate the VAV box's damper based ona CO2 sensor and its associated set point schedule. The zonecontroller shall be capable of maintaining a ventilation set pointthrough a DCV algorithm in conjunction with the air-handlingunit to fulfill the requirements of ASHRAE standard, 62-1989“Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality” (includingAddendum 62a-1990).

The DCV control function shall determine the zone ventila-tion airflow based on the CO2 zone sensor input value. Whenthe DCV function is enabled, the zone controller shall override(increase) the primary airflow in order to provide additionalventilation as required to maintain the CO2 set point if the baseventilation airflow is insufficient to meet the zone ventilationrequirements. A control algorithm shall be used to determinethe required airflow in order to maintain the required ventila-tion rate in the space (maintain the CO2 sensor reading at thedesired zone set point).

Whenever the air-handling system is in the occupied mode,the air handler controller shall maintain the base ventilationrate (minimum outdoor air damper position) until overriddenby the system DCV function.

All zone controllers working with a given air-handling unitshall be polled and the highest CO2 sensor reading will be tak-en by the air handler controller and used to control the outdoor-air damper. The worse case CO2 reading shall be compared tothe CO2 adjustable set point (nominally 750 ppm CO2) at theunit controller. If the reading is below the set point, the air han-dler shall continue to maintain the base ventilation. If the read-ing is above the set point, the air handler controller shall modu-late the outdoor-air damper open to increase the amount of out-door air ventilation. Once the CO2 levels drop below the setpoint, the outside-air dampers shall modulate to maintain thebase ventilation rate.

The economizer function is enabled when the air handlercontroller determines that it is beneficial to use outside air forcooling the space. Once the economizer function is enabled, ascommanded by the air handler controller, the outdoor-airdamper will modulate between minimum position and fullyopen to maintain the discharge-air temperature at the econo-mizing set point.

Component specific control sequences help to maximize theamount of energy recovered by the total energy recovery wheelsection.

26

schedule. Timed override shall also be used toextend the occupied schedule for up to a userdefined limit). Timed override shall be initiatedby the operator or by an occupant pushing theoverride button on the space sensor, if enabledby the operator.During unoccupied period whenever the spacetemperature falls below the unoccupied heatingset point (VAV systems shall use return-air tem-perature) or rises above the unoccupied coolingset point the supply fan shall run until the spacetemperature has returned to the required unoc-cupied space temperature limits.The supply fan shall also run during the unoccu-pied period when the unit is in the NighttimeFree Cooling mode to pre-cool the space prior tooccupancy.

2. Nighttime (Unoccupied) Free Cooling (UFC):The nighttime free cooling mode will operateonly during unoccupied hours. When enabled,the controller will measure the space tempera-ture and modulate the economizer to maintainthe space occupied cooling setpoint. This modewill be enabled via a user selectable switch. Nighttime free cooling shall not operate if theoutside air temperature is below a user-select-able value or if the algorithm determines that theenthalpy of the outside air is unsuitable.

3. Unit Optimal Start:The Unit Optimal Start shall include thecapabilities necessary to minimize the unoccu-pied warm-up or cool-down period while stillachieving comfort conditions by the start of thescheduled occupied period.

4. Heating Coil Control:a. The heating coil routine shall modulate the

heating valve to maintain the conditionedspace's heating set point based on the supplyair temperature. The heating coil routineshall also modulate the heating coil valvewhen the freezestat (if present) is on to main-tain a minimum duct temperature to helpprotect against freezing. The dual loop PIDcontrol algorithm shall utilize the space tem-perature sensor as the master sensor and thedischarge sensor as the submaster sensor.During VAV only, the heating coil valve willopen whenever the supply-air temperaturedrops from 40 F to a user-adjustable level,normally set at 35 F.

b. Electric Heater Control (CV) — If the fan ison, cooling (if present) is not active and theoutside-air temperature is less than a user-defined set point, then the control shall readthe space temperature and calculate therequired supply air temperature to satisfyconditions. Once the required supply-airtemperature has been calculated, it shall becompared to the actual supply-air tempera-ture to determine the number of heat stagesrequired to satisfy conditions. The electricheat control shall also provide for unoccu-pied heating whenever the space temperaturedrops below the heating unoccupied set

point. If more than one stage is required, thestages shall be enabled one at a time with atime delay between stages.

c. Electric heater Control (VAV) — When thesupply fan is on, cooling (if present) is activeand the outside air temperature is less thanthe user defined setpoint, the controller shalldetermine based on the space and supply-airtemperature if heating is required. If it is, thecontroller compares the return-air tempera-ture to the occupied heating set point orunoccupied heating set point. If heat isrequired, the controller shall calculate thesupply-air temperature required to satisfyconditions. Once the supply-air temperatureis calculated it shall be compared to thesupply-air temperature sensor reading todetermine the number of stages required tosatisfy conditions.

d. Heating — Face and Bypass (CV) — Thisroutine shall modulate a face and bypassdamper to prevent the space temperaturefrom falling below the occupied/unoccupiedheating set point. When the supply fan is on,outside-air temperature is less than a user-definable set point and cooling (if present) isnot active, the controller shall measure thespace temperature and open the heating coilvalve in sequence with the face and bypassdampers to maintain its heating set point.The heating coil valve will open wheneverthe freezestat (if present) is on.When the fan is off, the damper shall bepositioned to the full bypass position and theheating valve shall be closed.

e. Heating — Face and Bypass (VAV) — Thisroutine shall modulate a face and bypassdamper to prevent the supply-air temperaturefrom falling below the occupied/unoccupiedheating set point. When the supply fan is on,outside-air temperature is less than a user-definable set point and cooling (if present) isnot active, the controller open the heatingvalve in sequence with the face and bypassdampers to maintain its heating setpoint. Theheating coil valve will open whenever thefreezestat (if present) is on. When the fan is off, the damper shall bepositioned to the full bypass position and theheating valve shall be closed.

5. Cooling Coil Control:a. The cooling coil (CV) routine shall modulate

the cooling coil valve to maintain the condi-tioned space’s cooling set point. The valveshall be closed whenever the space tempera-ture is below the cooling set point. When thesupply fan is on, the outside-air temperatureis greater than a user-defined set point, andthe economizer (if present) is disabled orfully open, the controller will modulate thecooling coil valve to maintain the space tem-perature below its cooling set point. Thecooling coil valve will open to a user defin-able percentage whenever the freezestat (ifpresent) is on.For those units that require dehumidificationcontrol (see I/O summary and/or thesequence of operation) the control valveshall open whenever the humidity sensor

Page 27: Application Data · 6 table 1 — uc open xp w/uc open xp io applications device (channel no.) cable no. wire color terminal signal filter status switch (channel # ui-1) white tb2-1

27

exceeds its (adjustable) humidity set pointand calls for dehumidification.

b. The cooling coil (VAV) routine shall modu-late the cooling coil valve to maintain thedesired supply-air temperature set point.When the supply fan is on, the outside-airtemperature is above a user-definable set-point, heating (if present) is not active andthe economizer (if present) is disabled orfully open, the controller will modulate thecooling coil valve to maintain the supply airtemperature below its cooling set point. Thecooling coil valve will open to a user defin-able percentage when the freezestat (if pres-ent) is on.For those units that require dehumidificationcontrol (see I/O summary and/or thesequence of operation) the cooling coil con-trol valve shall open whenever the humiditysensor exceeds it user adjustable humidityset point.

c. Cooling — Face and Bypass (CV) — Whenthe supply fan is on, the outside-air tempera-ture is greater than a user-definable level, theeconomizer (if present) is disabled or fullyopen, heating (if present) is not active andthe space temperature is above the coolingset point, then the face and bypass damperswill modulate open to face position (closedto bypass position) to maintain the supply airtemperature set point by modulating the airpassing over the cooling coil. When thespace temperature is less than the cooling setpoint, the face and bypass dampers will closeto the face position (open to bypass posi-tion). When the fan is off the dampers shall bepositioned to the full bypass position and thechilled water valve shall be closed.For those systems that require a dehumidifi-cation cycle (see I/O summary and/orsequence of operation) the damper and valveshall be opened fully.

d. Cooling — Face and Bypass (VAV) — Whenthe supply fan is on, the outside-air tempera-ture is greater than a user definable level, theeconomizer (if present) is disabled or fullyopen, heating (if present) is not active andthe supply-air temperature is above the userdefined cooling set point, then the controllerwill open the cooling coil valve and modu-late the face and bypass dampers open toface position (closed to bypass position).When the supply-air temperature is less thanthe cooling set point, the face and bypassdampers will close to face position (open tobypass position). The cooling coil valve willopen whenever the freezestat (if present) ison.For those systems that require a dehumidifi-cation routine (see I/O summary and/orsequence of operation) when the spacehumidity sensor exceeds its high limit setpoint, the dampers shall be positioned to thefull face position with the chilled water valveopen.

6. Direct Expansion Cooling Control:The direct expansion (DX) cooling control regu-lates the DX cooling system. The DX cooling

system is controlled via the compressors in thecondensing units and are controlled directly bythe condenser's controller. In a VAV system, thecompressors are modulated to maintain the sup-ply air temperature set point and outputs fromthe RAT and SAT sensors are read directly bythe condenser controller or indirectly via the UCOpen XP via the UPC Open BACnet communi-cation option. In a CV system, the compressorsare modulated to maintain the space temperatureset point, and the outputs from the space temper-ature thermostats can be read directly by thecondenser controller or indirectly via the UPCOpen BACnet communication option.

7. Mixed Air Damper Control:a. The mixed air damper routine (CV) shall

modulate the outside, return and exhaust airdampers, as applicable. When an enthalpycomparison by the routine determines thatthe outside-air conditions are unsuitable foratmospheric cooling, the dampers shall bepositioned to admit an adjustable, minimumoutside air percentage when in the occupiedmode. When the enthalpy comparison determinesthat outside-air conditions are suitable foratmospheric cooling, the mixed-air dampersshall be modulated to maintain a space tem-perature that is between the heating andcooling set points in an effort to minimizethe need for mechanical cooling or heating(the controller shall automatically providethis value based on the set points entered).The damper adjustment rate shall be auto-matically limited to prevent nuisance lowtemperature thermostat tripping.During the unoccupied cycle and unit opti-mal start, the mixed-air dampers shall bekept closed to outside and exhaust air andopen to return air unless the system has beenindexed to nighttime free cooling.The minimum damper position shall be thegreatest of the supplied configured minimumpercentage position(s), as applicable, fromthe Indoor Air Quality routine or this routine,whichever is greatest.If the supply fan is off, the mixed-air damp-ers shall be kept closed to outside andexhaust air and open to return air.

b. The mixed air damper (VAV) routine shallmodulate the outside, return, and exhaust airdampers as applicable. When an enthalpycomparison by the routine determines thatoutside air conditions are unsuitable foratmospheric cooling the dampers shall beheld at an adjustable minimum position ormodulated to a minimum position deter-mined by the IAQ routine, as applicablewhen in the occupied mode. When theenthalpy comparison determines that out-side-air conditions are suitable for atmo-spheric cooling, the mixed-air dampers shallbe modulated to maintain a mixed-air tem-perature equal to the supply air temperatureset point (plus any reset value) minus 2°F.For those systems with mechanical cooling,this routine shall ensure that outside air isalways fully utilized as the first stage ofcooling (when available) and that the

Page 28: Application Data · 6 table 1 — uc open xp w/uc open xp io applications device (channel no.) cable no. wire color terminal signal filter status switch (channel # ui-1) white tb2-1

28

mechanical cooling is always disabled firstas the load decreases.During the unoccupied cycle and unit opti-mal start the mixed-air dampers shall be keptclosed to outside and exhaust air and open toreturn air unless the system has been indexedto nighttime free cooling. If the supply fan isoff, the mixed-air dampers shall be keptclosed to outside and exhaust air and open toreturn air.The dampers shall also be capable of beingmodulated to maintain a desired temperatureset point set by the operator.The controller shall be capable of providinga protection feature that shall automaticallylimit the amount of outside air to prevent themixed-air temperature from falling below anadjustable set point (nominally 45 F).

c. Two-Position Damper Control — Two-posi-tion damper control shall be used to controltwo-position outside dampers to provideminimum outside-air ventilation.If the supply fan is off, the damper shall beclosed. If the supply fan is on, the controlshall determine if the unit is in the Occupiedmode. If the unit is in the Occupied mode thedampers shall open. If the unit is in theUnoccupied mode the dampers shall remainclosed, however, the dampers shall openwhen the unit is indexed to Nighttime FreeCooling.

8. Supply Air Duct Static Pressure Control:The controller shall modulate the supply-fanVFD speed to maintain the duct static pressureset point. When the supply fan is off, the driveshall be reset to an adjustable minimum speedvalue. When the supply fan is on, the controllershall read the duct static pressure and the PIDcontrol algorithm shall compute the drive outputrequired. The controller shall compare the actualduct static pressure to the desired set point valueand re-calculate the required signal output to thedrive.

9. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ):The controller shall be capable of monitoringand alarming an IAQ sensor or may be used tomaintain a IAQ set point by overriding the cur-rent minimum mixed-air damper position whenthe IAQ sensor exceeds its operator adjustableset point of CO2 concentration. This routineshall also be subject to a field selectable lowtemperature override based on the mixed-air orsupply-air temperature.The IAQ routine shall be capable of suspendingits damper override position based on spacetemperature and humidity.

10. Filter Status Control:The controller shall monitor an airflow switchor switches, as applicable, measuring the differ-ential pressure between the upstream and down-stream side of the filter(s) for all units that listfilter status within the I/O summary. When thefilter becomes dirty or needs to be replaced, theairflow switch shall input a discrete signal to thecontroller, that will in turn, generate an alarm atthe portable PC or EMS operator’s station, iftied into a network.

G. Portable PC Local Interface:Each controller shall include the inherent ability to beadded to a network or to be modified without the addi-tion of any external devices. If connected to a EMS net-work and/or if a portable PC with EMS software isplugged into the controller the operator shall haveaccess to input set point and configuration data, displayconditions, alarms, etc.

H. Network Compatible:The factory-installed Product Integrated Control shallhave the resident capacity of connecting onto a commu-nication network with other like controllers and com-municating with other compatible microprocessor-based controllers and PCs.
