GLOSSARY
Auxiliary/Emergency
Applicable to heat pump systems only. Auxiliary heat refers to the 3rd heat
Heat
stage (W3). In the event of a heat pump compressor failure Emergency Heat (EH)
is activated via the user interface on the control module which disables the
compressor stages and cycles W3 on all heat calls; W4 is continuously ON in
this mode. Refer to section 5.6 for sequence of operation.
Bypass System
A Bypass System maintains a uniform amount of airflow in the branch ducts
by opening and closing a damper blade in the main supply duct.
Event
Up to four (4) events per day: morning , day
, evening , and night .
Each event includes temperature setpoint values for heating and cooling and
the schedule at which time each event begins.
Fuzzy Logic
The method by which the thermostat determines the load within its zone
before communicating the zone requirements to the SZP module.
Modes
A mode is a specific operating setting (Off, Cool, Heat, Auto, E Heat) which
can be established at the control module and the zone thermostats.
Polarity
Correct polarity must be maintained between the communicating zone
thermostats and the SZP module to ensure accurate communication and
avoid damage. Polarity must be 1-1.
Program
Programming is done at the SZP module and establishes the temperature
setpoints and events that the zone thermostats control.
Schedule
A Schedule refers to the programmed times for which events are to occur
during a 24 hour period.
SL-IDS
Slimline Indoor Remote Sensors
Stages
The way increments of heating or cooling are controlled. The SZP module
allows for four (4) stages of heating and three (3) stages of cooling with a
heat/cool system and three (3) stages of heating and three (3) stages of cooling
with a heat pump system.
SZEM
Slimzone Environmental Module
SZEX
Slimzone Expander Module
SZP
Slimzone Premier Control Module
Zone
A defined area that is controlled by a DSL-520P zone thermostat and
motorized zone damper. Zone thermostats request heating or cooling
from the SZP Control module, which in turn controls the HVAC equipment
and zone dampers accordingly.
