Indoor/Outdoor Startup
1. Refer to the Indoor/Outdoor reset ratio charts in Appendix F.
2. Choose the chart corresponding to the desired Building Reference Temperature.
3. Go down the left column of the chart to the coldest design outdoor air temperature
expected in your area.
4. Once the design outdoor air temperature is chosen, go across the chart to the desired
supply header temperature for the design temperature chosen in step 3.
5. Next, go up that column to the Reset Ratio row to find the corresponding reset ratio.
6. Access the Configuration Menu and scroll through it until the display shows Bldg Ref
Temp. (Building Reference Temperature). If necessary, refer to section 3.3 for detailed
instructions on menu changing.
7. Press the CHANGE key. The display will begin to flash.
8. Use the ▲ and ▼ arrow keys to select the desired Building Reference Temperature.
9. Press ENTER to save any changes.

5.3 CONSTANT SETPOINT MODE
The Constant Setpoint mode is used when a fixed header temperature is desired. Common
uses of this mode of operation include water source heat pump loops, and indirect heat
exchangers for potable hot water systems or processes.
No external sensors are required to operate in this mode. While it is necessary to set the
desired setpoint temperature, it is not necessary to change any other temperature-related
functions. The unit is factory preset with settings that work well in most applications. Prior to
changing any temperature-related parameters, other than the setpoint, it is suggested that an
AERCO representative be contacted. For descriptions of temperature-related functions and
their factory defaults, see Appendices A and E.
5.3.1 Setting the Setpoint
The setpoint temperature of the unit is adjustable from 40°F to 240°F. To set the unit for
operation in the Constant Setpoint Mode, the following menu settings must be made in the
Configuration Menu:
Menu Option
Setting
Boiler Mode Constant Setpoint
Internal Setpt Select desired setpoint using ▲ and ▼ arrow keys (40°F to 240°F)
Refer to section 3.3 for detailed instructions on changing menu options.
