∗Sequencing modes are listed below.
The available sequencing modes are defined in the following paragraphs.
Disabled
This is the only mode that can coexist with a different mode on a networked system. A unit configured as
disabled does not participate in sequenced starting and stopping and does not respond to demand
start/stop requests.
Staggered Service Time
If this mode is selected, units seek to sort the start priority of all non-disabled networked units in
ascending order of service hours remaining. In this configuration, a network of units will respond to a
demand start request by starting the unit with the least number of service hours remaining first. If a unit is
down to zero service hours remaining, it is moved to the lowest start priority position. In the event that two
or more units have matching service hours remaining, the unit with the lowest sequencing ID is assigned
highest start priority. Units in Auto Run mode with the highest number of service hours remaining respond
to demand stop requests first.
Balanced Service Time
In this mode, units seek to sort the start priority of all non-disabled networked units in ascending order of
service hours remaining. In this configuration, a network of units will respond to a demand start request by
starting the unit with the greatest number of service hours remaining first. In the event that two or more
units have matching service hours remaining, the unit with the lowest sequencing ID is assigned highest
start priority. Units in Auto Run mode with the lowest number of service hours remaining respond to
demand stop requests first.
Largest Size First
Units seek to sort the start priority of all non-disabled networked units in descending order of real load
capacity. In this configuration, a network of units will respond to a demand start request by starting the
unit with the largest load capacity first. In the event that two or more units have matching capacities, the
unit with the lowest sequencing ID is assigned highest start priority. The stopping order is the reverse of
the starting order.
Smallest Size First
Starting priority of all non-disabled networked units is sorted in ascending order of real load capacity. In
this configuration, a network of units responds to a demand start request by starting the unit with the
smallest load capacity first. In the event that two or more units have matching capacities, the unit with the
lowest sequencing ID is assigned highest start priority. The stopping order is the reverse of the starting
order.
Smallest Unit ID
Units seek to sort the start priority of all non-disabled networked units in ascending order according to the
sequencing ID. In this configuration, a network of units will respond to a demand start request by starting
the unit with the smallest sequencing ID. Units must have unique sequencing IDs to be part of a network.
The stopping order is the reverse of the starting order.
