Heat Pump Defrost Interval

If this is a Heat Pump unit with a Defrost Coil Temperature Switch
installed and confi gured, a Heat Pump Defrost Mode is available. If
the Defrost Coil Temperature Switch closes during Heat Pump Heating
operation, the unit will enter the Defrost Mode for 10 minutes or until
the Defrost Coil Temperature Switch opens. The Heat Pump Defrost
Interval is the length of time that must be met between Defrost Modes.
The length of this Defrost Interval can be automatically adjusted by the
Heat Pump Defrost Adaptive Timer. High limit = 120 minutes; Low
limit = 10 minutes; Default = 30 minutes.

Heat Pump Defrost Adaptive Timer

Once initiated, the Defrost Mode is active until the Defrost Coil Tem-
perature Switch opens or until a 10 minute timer has expired. Enter a
value greater than zero to enable the Adaptive Defrost Adjustment of the
Heat Pump Defrost Interval. This adjustment value will be subtracted
from the Heat Pump Defrost Interval if the Defrost Mode lasts the entire
10 minutes. A proportion of this adjustment value will be added to the
Heat Pump Defrost Interval if the Defrost Mode only lasts between 8
minutes and 0 minutes. High limit = 30 minutes; Low limit = 0 minutes;
Default = 0 minutes.

Warmup Mode Timeout Period

This sets the amount of time the unit can remain in Warmup Mode if the
Return Air still hasn’t reached its target temperature. High limit = 240
minutes; Low limit = 0 minutes; Default = 60 minutes.

Trendlog Interval

An internal Trend Log is constantly updated at a rate equal to this value.
Trend Logs can only be accessed with Prism II software. High limit =
120 minutes; Low limit = 1 minutes; Default = 15 minutes.

Indoor Humidity Reset of the Coil Temperature Setpoint

The Indoor Humidity Low and High Reset Limit Setpoints below can
be used to reset the Coil Temperature between its High and Low Reset
Limits (see page 41).

On units where Indoor Humidity is used to initiate Dehumidifi cation (non
MUA units), the Indoor Humidity Low Reset Limit is the Dehumidifi -
cation Setpoint, and as the Indoor Humidity rises above this setpoint,
Dehumidifi cation will be initiated. If the humidity falls 1% below this
setpoint, the unit will leave the Dehumidifi cation Mode.

If no reset of the Coil Temperature Setpoint is desired, set the Indoor
Humidity High Reset Limit at the same value as the Indoor Humidity
Low Reset Limit. If reset of the Coil Temperature Setpoint is desired,
when the Indoor Humidity rises above the Indoor Humidity Low Reset
Limit, Dehumidifi cation will be initiated and the Coil Temperature
Setpoint will be set at the Coil Setpoint High Reset Limit.

The Indoor Humidity High Reset Limit is the Indoor Humidity level at
which the Coil Temperature will be reset to the Coil Setpoint Low Reset
Limit. As the Indoor Humidity rises between the Low Reset Limit and
the High Reset Limit, the Coil Temperature Setpoint will be proportion-
ally reset between the Coil Setpoint High Reset Limit down to the Coil
Setpoint Low Reset Limit.

On MUA units where the Outdoor Dewpoint Setpoint is used to initiate
Dehumidifi cation, this screen is only used to set the Indoor Humidity
values that will reset the Coil Temperature Setpoint. As described above,
as the Indoor Humidity rises within the range created by the Low and
High Reset Limits, the Coil Temperature Setpoint will be proportionally
reset between the Coil Setpoint High and Low Reset Limits.

Indoor Humidity Low Reset Limit

High limit = 100%; Low limit = 0%; Default = 50%.

Indoor Humidity High Reset Limit

High limit = 100%; Low limit = 0%; Default = 60%.

Head Pressure Setpoint

If the unit is confi gured for Head Pressure Control, this is the pressure
maintained by the condenser fans whenever a compressor is running.
High limit = 420 PSI; Low limit = 240 PSI; Default = 315 PSI.

Re-Heat Head Pressure Setpoint

If the unit is confi gured for Head Pressure Control, this is the pressure
maintained by the condenser fans whenever a compressor is running in
dehumidifi cation. High limit = 420 PSI; Low limit = 240 PSI; Default
= 400 PSI.

Controlling Week Schedule

The VCB-X has an internal schedule. If you want the VCB-X to use its
own internal schedule, enter

<0>

for Internal.

External Schedules are available by using one of the GPC-X family
of General Purpose Controllers. Depending on which generation of
GPC-X Controller you have, you may have up to 5 or up to 8 schedules
available to use. To use the schedules on one of these controllers, enter
the number of the schedule on that controller (either 1 through 5 or 1
through 8) you will be using. High limit = 8; Low limit = 0; Default = 0.

Push Button Override Duration

If the VCB-X has a Space Temperature Sensor installed and it has the
Override Button option, the HVAC unit will initiate Override Mode any
time the Override Button is pressed and held for less than 3 seconds.
This puts the unit into Occupied operation. The Push-Button Override
Duration Setpoint allows you to adjust the amount of time the Override
will remain in effect when the Override Button is pressed. To cancel the
Override before the Override Duration time period expires, press the
Override Button for 5 to 10 seconds. High limit = 8 hours; Low limit =
0 hours; Default = 2 hours.
