off. Heat staging will resume after a delay to allow the

supply--air temperature to drop below the SATHI value.

The maximum number of stages available is dependent on

the type of heat and the number of stages programmed in

the CONFIG and SERVICE configuration tables. Staging

will occur as follows for gas electric units, Carrier heat

pumps with a defrost board, or cooling units with electric

heat:

For Heating PID STAGES = 2

HEAT STAGES = 1 (50% capacity) -- energize HS1.
HEAT STAGES = 2 (100% capacity) -- energize HS2.

For Heating PID STAGES = 3 and AUXOUT = HS3

HEAT STAGES = 1 (33% capacity if) -- energize HS1
HEAT STAGES = 2 (66% capacity) -- energize HS2
HEAT STAGES = 3 (100% capacity) -- energize HS3

Staging will occur as follows For heat pump units with

AUXOUT configured as reversing valve:

For Heating PID STAGES = 2 and AUXOUT = Reversing

Valve Heat (the H3_EX_RV output will stay energized

until there is a cool demand) HEAT STAGES = 1 (50%

capacity) shall energize CMP1, CMP2, RVS.

HEAT STAGES = 2 (100% capacity) shall energize HS1

and HS2.

Heating PID STAGES = 3 and AUXOUT = Reversing

Valve Heat (the H3_EX_RV output will stay energized

until there is a cool demand)

HEAT STAGES = 1 (33% capacity if) shall energize

CMP1, CMP2, RVS

HEAT STAGES = 2 (66% capacity) shall energize HS1

HEAT STAGES = 3 (100% capacity) shall energize HS2

If AUXOUT is configured for Reversing Valve Cool, then

the H3_EX_RV contact will be deenergized when there is

a demand for heating. The heat stages will be cycled to

temper the SAT so that it will be between the SPT and the

SPT + 10_F (SPT < SAT < (SPT + 10_F)) if:

S

the number of heat stages calculated is zero

S

the OAT < 55_F

S

an IAQ sensor is installed

S

the IAQ Minimum Damper Position > minimum damper
position

S

and the SAT < SPT --10_F.

There is also a SAT tempering routine that will act as SAT

low limit safety to prevent the SAT from becoming too

cold should the economizer fail to close. One stage of

heating will be energized if it is not in the Cooling or Free

Cooling mode and the OAT is below 55_F and the SAT is

below 40_F. It will deenergize when the SAT > (SPT +

10_F).

Indoor Air Quality — If the optional indoor air quality

(IAQI) sensor is installed, the PremierLink controller will

maintain indoor air quality within the space at the user

configured differential setpoint (IAQD) in the CONFIG

configuration table. The setpoint is the difference between

the IAQI and an optional outdoor air quality sensor

(OAQ). If the OAQ is not present then a fixed value of

400 ppm is used. The actual space IAQ setpoint (IAQS) is

calculated as follows:

IAQS = IAQD + OAQ (OAQ = 400 ppm if not present)

As air quality within the space changes, the minimum

position of the economizer damper will be changed also

thus allowing more or less outdoor air into the space

depending on the relationship of the IAQI to the IAQS.

The IAQ algorithm runs every 30 seconds and calculates

IAQ minimum position value using a PID loop on the

IAQI deviation from the IAQS. The IAQ minimum

position is then compared against the user configured

minimum position (MDP) and the greatest value becomes

the final minimum damper position (IQMP). If the

calculated IAQ minimum position is greater than the IAQ

maximum damper position (IAQMAXP) decision in the

SERVICE configuration table, then it will be clamped to

IAQMAXP value.

If IAQ is configured for low priority, the positioning of

the economizer damper can be overridden by comfort

requirements. If the SPT > OCSP + 2.5 or the SPT <

OHSP -- 2.5 then IAQ minimum position becomes 0 and

the IQMP = MDP. The IAQ mode will resume when the

SPT ≤ OCSP + 1.0 and SPT ≥ OHSP -- 1.0.

If IAQ is configured for high priority and the OAT < 55_F

and the SAT < (SPT -- 10_F), the algorithm will enable the

heat stages to maintain the SAT between the SPT and the

SPT + 10_F.

IAQ Pre--Occupancy Purge — This function is designed to

purge the space of airborne contaminants that may have

accumulated 2 hours prior to the beginning of the next

occupied period. The maximum damper position that will

be used is temperature compensated for cold whether

conditions and can be pre--empted by Temperature

Compensated Start function. For pre--occupancy to occur,

the following conditions must be met:

S

IAQ Pre--Occupancy Purge option is enabled in the
CONFIG configuration table

S

Unit is in the unoccupied state

S

Current Time is valid

S

Next Occupied Time is valid

S

Time is within 2 hours of next Occupied period

S

Time is within Purge Duration (user--defined 5 to 60
minutes in the CONFIG configuration table)

S

OAT Reading is available

If all of the above conditions are met, the economizer

damper IQMP is temporarily overridden by the

pre--occupancy damper position (PURGEMP). The

PURGEMP will be set to one of the following conditions

based on atmospheric conditions and the space

temperature:

S

If the OAT ≥ NTLO (Unoccupied OAT Lockout
Temperature) and OAT < 65_F and OAT is less than or

50TC
