6.2.2  Deadband/Overlap band 
In heating and cooling control, it is possible to designate a deadband between heating and 
cooling control bands based on SV (setting value). 
  A deadband forms around the SV when DB is set to a positive value. No control occurs in 
the deadband area. Therefore, heating and cooling MVs become 0.0% in the formed 
deadband. 
  An overlap band (simultaneous application of heating and cooling MVs) forms around the 
SV when DB is set to a negative value.

  Set deadband to 0 when a deadband or an overlap band is not used. 
 
  When proportional bands are different, the smaller one takes precedence. 
  Input sensor (H, L) setting determines the use of a decimal point.
