Cool Min.: xxx %

During Supply Air Cooling Mode if the space being served by this
damper is satisfied and has no cooling demand the damper will close to
this Cool Min setting. This provides a minimum amount of airflow
into the space for ventilation, even if the space does not require addi-
tional cooling. During Supply Air Heating Mode if the space being served
by this damper is satisfied and has no heating demand the damper will
close to this Heat Min setting. This provides a minimum amount of
airflow into the space for ventilation, even if the space does not require
additional heating.

Nt/Rh Min.: xxx %
Fan On Min: xxx %
The Nt/Rh Min is the position the damper will move to when the sys-
tem is in Override Mode and this particular damper is not part of the
override group. This Nt/Rh Min position only affects non-fan powered
boxes..
The Fan On Min is used for Parallel Fan boxes only. This is the damper
position that will cause the Parallel Fan to start if the damper/airflow
drops below this value. Normally the Parallel Fan only operates when
the Reheat stages are activated. If this is not a Parallel Fan box, the last
line will remain blank. Series Fan boxes are not affected by this setting
as the fan is always on anytime the HVAC unit fan is running.

Fixed Pos: xxx %
Many times while troubleshooting a system, it is useful to have the
zone damper set to a specific damper position or airflow setting. This
setpoint can be used to determine where the damper/airflow will re-
main when the box controller receives a Force to Fixed Position com-
mand from the user.

Zone Alarm Offsets
Hi Zone......: xx

Lo Zone......: xx

The VAV Box Controller can be setup to generate an alarm anytime
the Zone Temperature exceeds the user defined alarm limits for a user
defined period of time. A High Temperature Alarm Setpoint is created
by adding the Hi Zone Alarm offset to the current Cooling Setpoint.
The Low Temperature Alarm Setpoint is created by adding the Lo Zone
Alarm offset to the current Heating Setpoint. If the zone temperature
exceeds either of these limits for a period defined by the Alarm Delay
setpoint, the controller can generate an alarm callout if all the options
required for this to occur are installed.

As mentioned above, if the user configures the controller to generate
zone temperature alarms, this is the amount of time the temperature
must be outside the alarm limits before an alarm is generated.
