the calculation method described in Appendix D must be used.
3.8.6 BLDG REF TEMP
The BLDG REF TEMP menu option is only displayed when the HEADER SET MODE is set to
OUTDOOR RESET. This option is used to set the Building Reference Temperature (BLDG REF
TEMP) to the desired value from 40°F to 220°F. (Default = 70°F).
3.8.7 REMOTE SIGNAL
The REMOTE SIGNAL menu option is only displayed when the HEADER SET MODE is set to
REMOTE SETPT. When displayed, this option is used to select the controlling remote signal: to
4 – 20 mA or MODBUS. (Default = 4-20 mA).
3.8.8 OFFSET ENABLE
The OFFSET ENABLE menu option i s used to turn ON, or turn OFF the Setpoint Temperature
Offset feature. (Default = OFF)
3.8.9 Offset Menu Options
The Field Adjust Menu contains a series of menu options which permit an offset schedule to be
set up for a 7-day period (Sunday through Saturday). For each day (Sunday – Saturday), these
options include:
OFFS TEMP [Setpoint Offset Temperature (-50°F to +50°F)]
ON HOUR (00 to 23)
ON MINUTE (00 to 59)
OFF HOUR (00 to 23)
OFF MINUTE (00 to 59)
Normally, if an Offset Schedule is used, it is controlled automatically using the set-up
procedures described in the paragraph titled “Setting Up An Offset Reset Schedule” However, if
desired, the header offset can be controlled manually by connecting a switch across the SET
BACK wiring terminals 13 and 14 as shown in the wiring diagram in Appendix E. If a manual
offset is used, refer to the paragraph titled “ Manual Offset”.
3.8.10 Setting Up an Offset Schedule
The steps involved in setting up an automatic reset schedule consists first of selecting the
temperature offset and then entering the start and stop times for which the offset will be in
effect. Note that the ACS uses a 24-hour clock (00;00 to 23:59). The steps are outlined in
Instruction 3.8.1. In this example, the setpoint temperature is being offset -15°F on Sunday
from 12:01 AM (00:01) to 8:00 AM (08 hrs).
