NORMAL CONTROLLER ACTION
Deadband is a span of 0.2 around setpoint (heating or cooling) over which neither heating nor cooling
takes place.
Here are a few rules and restrictions to how the internal Loop Controller functions:
• Heating and Cooling will not be O
N at the same time
• If the Input temperature is less than (Day Setpoint – (Day Differential + ½ Deadband)) then the
controller is in H
EATING
• If the Input temperature is greater than (Day Setpoint + (Day Differential + ½ Deadband)) then the
controller is in C
OOLING
• If the Input temperature is between these two extents for Heating and Cooling, then the controller is
in
A null zone
For all control applications (except when Box Mode is heating in VAV or VVT) the Controller Status
(AV14) will modulate from -100 to 100% and sequence any necessary output stages. A value of 0 to
100% represents heating output from the controller, while a value of 0 to -100% represents cooling
output from the controller.
