Refer to paragraph 3.3 for detailed instructions
on menu changing.

5.3 CONSTANT SETPOINT MODE

The Constant Setpoint mode is used when a
fixed header temperature is desired. Common
uses of this mode of operation include water
source heat pump loops, and indirect heat
exchangers for potable hot water systems or
processes.

There are no external sensors necessary to
operate in this mode. While it is necessary to set
the desired setpoint temperature, it is not
necessary to change any other temperature-
related functions. The unit is factory preset with
settings that work well in most applications.
Prior to changing any temperature-related
parameters, other than the setpoint, it is
suggested that an AERCO representative be
contacted. For a complete listing of factory
defaults and descriptions of temperature related
functions, see Appendices A and E.

5.3.1 SETTING THE SETPOINT

The setpoint temperature of the unit is adjustable
from 40°F to 240°F. To set the unit for operation
in the Constant Setpoint Mode, the following
menu settings must be made in the
Configuration Menu:


MENU OPTION

SETTING

Boiler Mode

Constant Setpoint

Internal Setpt

Select desired setpoint

using

▲ and ▼ arrow

keys (40°F to 240°F)

Refer to paragraph 3.3 for detailed instructions
on changing menu options.

5.4 REMOTE SETPOINT MODES

The unit’s setpoint can be remotely controlled by
an Energy Management System (EMS) or
Building Automation System (BAS). The Remote
Setpoint can be driven by a current or voltage
signal within the following ranges:

4-20 mA/1-5 Vdc

0-20 mA/0-5 Vdc

The factory default setting for the Remote
Setpoint mode is 4 - 20 mA/1 - 5 Vdc. With this
setting, a 4 to 20 mA/1 to 5 Vdc signal, sent by
an EMS or BAS, is used to change the unit's
setpoint. The 4 mA/1V signal is equal to a 40°F
setpoint while a 20 mA /5V signal is equal to a
240°F setpoint. When a 0 to 20 mA/0 to 5 Vdc
signal is used, 0 mA is equal to a 40°F setpoint.

In addition to the current and voltage signals
described above, the Remote Setpoint mode can
also driven by a RS485 Modbus Network signal
from an EMS or BAS.

The Remote Setpoint modes of operation can be
used to drive single as well as multiple units.

NOTE:

If a voltage, rather than current signal is used to
control the remote setpoint, a DIP switch
adjustment must be made on the

CPU Board in

the Control Box. Contact your local AERCO
representative for details.

In order to enable the Remote Setpoint Mode,
the following menu setting must be made in the
Configuration Menu:
