ZN.520

The Tracer

®

ZN.520 controller operates the supply fan continuously

when the controller is in the occupied and occupied standby modes,

for either heating or cooling. The controller only cycles the fan off with

heating and cooling capacity in the unoccupied mode.

The economizer is used for cooling purposes whenever the outdoor

temperature is below the economizer enable setpoint and there is a

need for cooling. The economizer is used first to meet the space

demand, and other forms of cooling are used if the economizer

cannot meet the demand alone. See modulating outdoor air damper

operation for additional information.

Cascade cooling control initiates a discharge air tempering function if

the discharge air temperature falls below the discharge air tempera-

ture control low limit, all cooling capacity is at minimum, and the

discharge control loop determines a need to raise the discharge air

temperature. The controller then provides heating capacity to raise

the discharge air temperature to its low limit.

The discharge air tempering function enables when cold outdoor air is

brought in through the outdoor air damper, causing the discharge air

to fall below the discharge air temperature control low limit. The

controller exits the discharge air tempering function when heat

capacity has been at 0% for five minutes.

During heating mode, the Tracer

®

ZN.520 controller attempts to

maintain the space temperature at the active heating setpoint. Based

on the occupancy mode of the controller, the active heating setpoint

is one of the following:

• Occupied heating

• Occupied standby heating

• Unoccupied heating

During dehumidification in the heating mode, the controller adjusts

the heating setpoint up to the cooling setpoint. This reduces the

relative humidity in the space with a minimum of energy usage.

The controller uses the measured space temperature, the active

heating setpoint, and discharge air temperature, along with the

control algorithm, to determine the requested heating capacity of the

unit (0-100%). The outputs are controlled based on the unit configura-

tion and the required heating capacity.
