Inputs and Outputs
Primary Air Temperature/Discharge Air temperature Analog Input
The controller senses the primary or discharge air temperature input with a hardwired
10k thermistor. The primary/discharge air temper
ature analog input can be configured
as either primary air temperature or discharge air temperature and applied as:
• Primary supply air temperature input for stand-alone changeover control and local
re
heat lockout. The 10k thermistor is upstream from the VAV hea
ting and cooling
capacity;
• Discharge air temperature input for reheat control (preconditioning outdoor air in a
ventilat
ion flow control job). The discharge air temperature is used as feedback to the
control algorithm that is influencing the discharge air temperature. This is discharge
air control for units configured as ventilation flow control units. The 10k thermistor
is dow
nst
ream of the VAV reheat capacity.
Either configuration also provides monitor
i
ng and diagnostics.
The controller can receive the primary air temperature as either a local analog input or
as a commun
icated value. If both are present, the controller uses the communicated
source temperature. If neither is present, the controller uses configuration to assume a
primary air condition, either hot or cold.
The space temp controller or a flow-tracking controller can operate without a valid
discha
rge
air temperature analog input. Table 9 shows that the impact of discharge air
temp
erature loss depends on the control algorithm configuration. If a valid discharge air
temperature is present, then disappears, then returns to the valid range, the controller
automatically resets and attempts to run normally.
