OPERATION — For operation, PID control will be utilized.

The process will run at the rate defined by the Configuration

HUMD

H.PID

HM.TM. The first part of humidity

control tests the humidity control configuration and will turn

on corresponding configurations to read space or return air rel-

ative humidity. If the supply fan has been ON for 30 seconds

and the space is occupied, then the humidification is started.
Actuator Control — Control is performed with a generic PID

loop where:
Error = HM.SP – humidity sensor value (SP.RH or RA.RH,

depending on configuration).
The PID terms are calculated as follows:
P = K * HM.P * error
I = K * HM.I * error + “I” last time through
D = K * HM.D * (error – error last time through)
Where K = HM.TM/60 to normalize the effect of changing the

run time rate
Relay Output Control — If the humidity sensor reading is

greater than the humidity set point then the humidity relay

(Outputs

GEN.O

HUM.R) is closed. The relay will open

when the humidity is 2% less than the humidity set point.
CONFIGURING THE HUMIDIFIER ACTUATOR —

Every actuator used in the Z Series control system has its own

unique serial number. The rooftop control uses this serial

number to communicate with the actuator over the local equip-

ment network (LEN). The actuator serial number is located on

a two-part sticker affixed to the side of the actuator housing.

Remove one of the actuator’s serial number labels and paste it

onto the actuator serial number records label located inside

the left-hand access panel at the unit’s control panel. Five

individual numbers make up this serial number. Program the

serial number of the actuator in its Humidifier Actuator

Configurations group, ACT.C (SN.1, SN.2, SN.3, SN.4, SN.5)
NOTE: The serial numbers for all LEN actuators can be found

inside the control doors of the unit as well as on the actuator

itself. If an actuator is replaced in the field, it is a good idea to

remove the additional peel-off serial number sticker on the

actuator and cover up the old one inside the control doors.
Control Angle Alarm (Configuration

HUMD

ACTC

C.A.LM) — The humidifier actuator learns what its end stops

are though a calibration at the factory. Field-installed actuators

may be calibrated in the Service Test mode. When an actuator

learns its end stops through calibration, it determines its control

angle. The actuator will resolve this control angle and express

its operation in a percent (%) of this learned range.

If the humidifier actuator has not learned a sufficient control

angle during calibration, the actuator will be unable to control

humidity. For this reason, the humidifier actuator has a config-

urable control angle alarm low limit (C.A.LM). If the control

angle learned through calibration is less than C.A.LM, an alert

will occur and the actuator will not function.
NOTE: This configuration does not typically need adjustment.

It is configurable for the small number of jobs which may

require a custom solution or workaround.

Dehumidification and Reheat —

The Dehumidifi-

cation function will override comfort condition set points

based on dry bulb temperature and deliver cooler air to the

space in order to satisfy a humidity set point at the space or

return air humidity sensor. The Reheat function will energize a

suitable heating system concurrent with dehumidification

sequence should the dehumidification operation result in

excessive cooling of the space condition.

The dehumidification sequence requires the installation of a

space or return air humidity sensor or a discrete switch input. A

CEM (option or accessory) is required to accommodate an RH

(relative humidity) sensor connection. Reheat is possible when

multiple-step staged gas control option or hydronic heat (op-

tion or field-installed coil) is installed. Reheat is also possible

using a heat reclaim coil (field-supplied and installed) or a hot

gas reheat coil (special order, factory-installed).

Dehumidification and reheat control are allowed during

Cooling and Vent modes in the Occupied period.

On constant volume units using thermostat inputs (C.TYP =

3 or 4), the discrete switch input must be used as the dehumidi-

fication control input. The commercial Thermidistat™ device

is the recommended accessory device.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM — The settings for dehumidi-

fication can be found at the local display at Configuration

DEHU. See Table 62.
Dehumidification Configuration (D.SEL) — The dehumidi-

fication configuration can be set for the following settings:
D.SEL = 0 — No dehumidification and reheat.
