When the VCC-X Controller is in Cooling Mode, if the Supply Air
Temperature drops below the Active Supply Air Cooling Setpoint
minus the Cooling Stage Off Window value, a Cooling Stage will be
deactivated after its Minimum Run Time. In the Heating Mode, if the
Supply Air Temperature rises above the Active Supply Air Heating
Setpoint plus the Heating Stage Off Window value, a Heating stage
will be deactivated after its Minimum Run Time.

The Modulating Heating Proportional Window is the control range
of the Modulating Signal above and below the Active Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint. The size of the Proportional Window will
determine how much of a signal change the controller will make
per Time Period for every 1˚F the Supply Air Temperature is from
setpoint. The maximum signal change per time period is 10% which
occurs when the Supply Air Temperature is the full Proportional
Window amount from setpoint. So, with a 5˚ Proportional Window,
if the Supply Air Temperature is 5˚ or more from setpoint, the signal
change will be 10% per time period. At 4˚ difference, the signal
change will be 8% per time period. By the time the difference is 1˚,
the signal change will be 2% per time period. With a Proportional
Window of 2˚, if you are 2˚ or more from setpoint, the amount of
signal change will be 10% per time period, and at 1˚ from setpoint
the change would be 5% per time period. So, a larger proportional
window allows for fi ner tuning of the control signal to prevent
overshooting.
The Time Period is the length of time between Modulating Signal
adjustments. Short Time Periods may cause hunting of the Modu-
lating Signal.
