Fig. 96 – Warm Weather Shutdown

When enabled, the Warm Weather Shutdown

feature will turn off the Central Heating

functions when the outdoor temperature

exceeds the setpoint. This prevents the system

from running when there is no need for heat.

Enable -

These options determine how quickly

the system shuts down after the outdoor

temperature rises above the setpoint. The

options are Shutdown immediately/ After

demand ends/ Disabled.

Setpoint -

If the outdoor temperature is higher than this,

the system will shut off the Lead/Lag Central

Heating functions.

About Outdoor Reset
The Outdoor Reset feature calculates a correction

for the Lead/Lag setpoint depending on the outdoor

temperature. This allows the system to compensate

for changes in the outdoor temperature and run more

efficiently.
The Show Line button at the bottom of the Outdoor

Reset screen displays a curve which shows how the

system will behave at different outdoor temperatures.

See Fig. 97.

Fig. 97 – Show Line Screen

In the display shown above, the green line shows the

setpoint used by the system.

• Without Outdoor Reset, this would be a

constant 120°F (or whatever value you chose),

regardless of the outdoor temperature. The

green line in the graph would run straight

across the display.

However, with the Outdoor Reset feature

turned on, the system will adjust for changes

in the outdoor temperature. Let’s take a

detailed look at behavior of the setpoint,

shown by the green line in the display. For

cold outdoor temperatures (below 32°F), the

setpoint remains unchanged (120°F). As the

temperature begins to rise above 32°F, the

Outdoor Reset function causes the setpoint to

be lowered. At these warmer temperatures,

the heating load on the system is not as great,

so the system does not have to reach as high

a temperature to handle the load. As you can

see from the display, at an outdoor temperature

of about 70°F, the system stops adjusting the

setpoint. Above 70°F, the setpoint is constant

at 100°F.

When Outdoor Reset is enabled, and the outdoor

temperature falls between the maximum and

minimum outdoor temperatures (70° and 32° in the

example above), the setpoint will be adjusted down

by about 1° for every 2° increase in the outdoor

temperature. For example, if the outdoor temperature

rises by 10°, the Outdoor Reset function will adjust

the setpoint down by about 5°.
