Supply Fan Control Sequence
Any time the Supply Fan (Fig. 76) runs, the pressure controller 
with the greatest demand, Static Pressure Controller PC1 or 
PC2, operates the Electronic-Pressure Transducer PT. The 
controller used is determined by High Pressure Selector Relay 
HSR. Transducer PT controls the Supply Fan Variable Speed 
Drive (VSD) to maintain duct static pressure. The pick-up 
probes for Static Pressure Controllers PC1 and PC2 are located 
at the end of the east and west zone ducts.

Return Fan Control Sequence
Static Pressure Controller PC (Fig. 77) controls the return fan 
variable speed drive to maintain space static pressure. The 
pick-up probe is located in the space 
Fig. 77. Return Fan Load Control.
NOTES:
1. Because of varying exhaust between occupied and 
warm-up modes, space static pressure control of 
the return fan is selected. Return fan tracking from 
supply fan airflow is acceptable but is complex if 
varying exhaust is worked into the control scheme. 
2. Exercise care in selecting location of the inside 
pick-up and in selection of the pressure controller. 
Location of the reference pick-up above the roof is 
recommended by ASHRAE.
3. To prevent unnecessary hunting by the return fan at 
start-up, the supply fan control signal should be 
slow loading such that the supply fan goes from 
zero or a minimum to maximum load over three 
minutes. Shut down should not be restricted.
