Sequence, Section B

MIXING START (MIX STRT)

(

RESET

RATIO

)

The MIX STRT temperature is the mixing supply water temperature that the
heating system requires when the outdoor air temperature equals the OUT
STRT

air temperature.

OUTDOOR START (OUT STRT)

(

RESET

RATIO

)

The OUT STRT temperature is the outdoor air temperature at which the
control provides the MIX STRT supply water temperature to the system.

OUTDOOR DESIGN (OUT DSGN)
(

RESET

RATIO

&

CHARACTERIZED

HEATING

CURVE

)

The OUT DSGN is the outdoor air temperature that is typically the coldest
temperature of the year where the building is located. This temperature is
used when doing heat loss calculations for the building.

MIX DESIGN (MIX DSGN)
(

RESET

RATIO

&

CHARACTERIZED

HEATING

CURVE

)

The MIX DSGN temperature is the supply water temperature required to
heat the mixing zones when the outdoor air is as cold as the Outdoor Design
temperature.

MIXING MAXIMUM (MIX MAX)
(

RESET

RATIO

&

CHARACTERIZED

HEATING

CURVE

)

The MIX MAX sets the highest water temperature that the control is allowed to calculate as the MIX TRG temperature. If the control does
target the MIX MAX setting, and the MIX SUP

temperature is within 5˚F (3˚C) of the MIX MAX, the Maximum pointer is displayed in the

LCD while either the MIX TRG temperature or the MIX SUP

temperature is being viewed.

WARM WEATHER SHUT DOWN (WWSD) OCC & UNOCC
(

RESET

RATIO

&

CHARACTERIZED

HEATING

CURVE

)

When the outdoor air temperature rises above the WWSD setting, the 362 turns on the

WWSD pointer in the display. When the control

is in Warm Weather Shut Down, the

Mix Demand pointer is displayed if there is a demand. However, the control does not operate the

heating system to satisfy this demand.

SETBACK (SETBACK)
(

RESET

RATIO

)

The SETBACK is the amount that the mixing supply water temperature is reduced when the 362 is placed into an

UnOccupied mode,

using an internal or an external setback as described later in this section. This setting is only available if the

Reset Ratio DIP switch is

selected and

Setback / None DIP switch is set to Setback.

MIXING INDOOR (MIX INDR)
(

CHARACTERIZED

HEATING

CURVE

)

The MIX INDR is the room temperature used in the original heat loss
calculations for the building. This setting establishes the beginning of the
Characterized Heating Curve for the mixing zones. This single setting
replaces the MIX STRT water temperature and OUT STRT

air temperature

settings used by the

Reset Ratio.

MIXING MINIMUM (MIX MIN)
(

CHARACTERIZED

HEATING

CURVE

)

The MIX MIN is the lowest temperature that the control is allowed to use as
a MIX TRG temperature. During mild conditions, if the 362 calculates a
MIX TRG temperature that is below the MIX MIN setting, the MIX TRG
temperature is adjusted to match the MIX MIN setting. During this condition,
the

Minimum pointer turns on in the LCD when either the MIX TRG

temperature or the MIX SUP temperature is being viewed.

If either an Indoor Sensor or a Room Temperature Unit (RTU) is used and
the 362 is operating at the MIX MIN temperature, the Mixing Pump is cycled using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) with a 15 minute cycle
length. By cycling the Mixing Pump and controlling the flow of supply water, the control provides an average supply water temperature
to the mixing system. This average temperature is equal to the original MIX TRG. This minimizes overheating of the zone while the control
is operating at the MIX MIN temperature.
