variablespeedcompressorstartsandrampuptomaximumspeed.Forinstance:
SP = 72, DB = 2. Compressor will be on at 74°.
-- Variable speed compressor will then use PI (Proportional and Intergral) control
algorithm to main the setpoint. Proportional band is the same as deadband. The
Intergral band is programmed in Factory settings menu. In most cases there is no
needtochangethePandIvalueastheresultoftemperaturecontroluctuation.
Return air temperature is dropping (Off cycle):
-- As the return air temperature reaches setpoint, the compressor will ramp down
to its minimum speed. (Note: If variable speed compressor runs at the minimum
speedforalongperiodoftime,itwillautomaticallyrampuptothemaximumspeed
for one minute to maintain the minimum compressor oil level. The temperature may
drop slightly during this override period).
-- Compressor continues to run at minimum speed then turns off when return air
temperature drops to temperature setpoint – C1 offset. C1 offset is programmed
in Compressor/Factory settings menu, default value is 2°F. For instance: SP= 72,
C1 offset = 2, compressor goes off at 70°.

For instance: SP = 72, DB = 2. Compressor will be on at 74°.
-- Variable speed compressor will then use PI (Proportional and Integral) control

The Integral band is programmed in Factory settings menu. In most cases there is
no need to change these P and I settings.
