NOTE: Various factors, including high humidity, high ambient tem-

90 minutes later. Advanced scroll temperature protection will
reset automatically before the motor protector resets, which
may take up to 2 hours.
COMPRESSOR TIME GUARDS -- The control will not al-
low any output relay to come on within 3 seconds of any other
output relay. For outputs connected to the compressors, the con-
trol will use a Compressor Minimum OFF Thne of 2 minutes, a
Compressor Minhnum ON Thne of 3 minutes and a Minhnum
Delay before turning on another compressor of 10 seconds.
COOL MODE SELECTION PROCESS -- The A Series
(_nfortLink TM controls offer three distinct methods by which
it may select a cooling mode.
1. Thermostat (4:TYP=-3 and 4): The thermostat does not
depend upon the state of occupancy and the modes are
called out directly by the discrete inputs from the thermo-
stat (Inputs-cSTAT-cY1 and Y2).
2. Occupied VAV cooling types ((: TYP=-I and 2) are called
out in the occupied period (Operating Modes--€
MODE-+ OCC=ON).
3. Unoccupied VAV cooling types (4:TYP=-I and 2) are
called out in the unoccupied period (Operating Modes--€
MODE--cOCC=OFF). They are also used for space
sensor control types (4:TYP=-5 and 6) in both the occu-
pied and unoccupied periods.
This section is devoted to the process of cooling mode
determination for the three types outlined above.
VAV Cool Mode Selection during the Occupied Period
(4: TYP = 1,2 and Operating Modes-cMODE _OCC =ON)
-- There is no difference in the selection of a cooling mode for
either VAV-RAT or VAV-SPT in the occupied period. The actual
selection of a cool mode, for both control types, is based upon
the controlling return-air temperature (Temperatures-+AIR. T
_TRL-+R.TMP). Typically this is the same as the return air
temperature thermistor (Temperatures---)AIR. T---_RAI) except
when under CCN Linkage.
VAV Occupied (_ol Mode Evaluation (_nfiguration -- There
are VAV occupied cooling offsets under Seq_oints.

(_ol Mode Determination -- If the machine control type
(Configuration--€ UNIT_: TYP) = 1 (VAV-RAT) or 2 (VAV-
SPT) and the control is occupied (Operating Modes
-+MODE-cOCC=ON), then the unit will not follow the occu-
pied cooling set point (OCSP). Instead, the control will follow
two offsets in the determination of an occupied VAV cooling
mode (Setpoints -+V..C.ON and Setpoints--cV.. C OF), applying
them to the low-heat offtrip point and comparing the resulting
temperature to the return-air temperature.
The Setpoints--cV.C.ON (VAV cool mode on offset) and
Setpoints-cV.C.OF (VAV cool mode off offset) offsets are
used in coniunction with the low heat mode off trip point to
determine when to bring cooling on and off and in enforcing a
true "vent" mode between heating and cooling. See Fig. 7. The
occupied cooling set point is not used in the determination of
the cool mode. The occupied cooling set point is used for
supply air reset only.
