Figure 16: Safety Switch Input
Remote Safety Shutdown
The rooftop unit has a field input where a remote safety
shutdown circuit can be connected.
When 24 VAC is applied to the safety switch input,
the unit operates normally.
When 24 VAC is removed from the safety switch
input, the unit immediately shuts down, ignoring
any guaranteed on-timers.
There is a factory installed jumper between terminals
W5 and W11 on the main control board.
To install any remote eld shutdown devices, re-
move the jumper between W5 and W11 and wire
all devices (dry contacts only) between these ter-
minals.
Low Voltage Monitoring
The unit controller continuously monitors the 24 VAC
control voltage circuit. The unit controller has two volt-
age limits programmed internally that cause preventive
actions to occur:
20.4 VAC: Before any relay output is turned ON,
the unit controller checks the 24 VAC circuit. If the
voltage is less than 20.4 VAC, no additional re-
lays are turned ON, and the appropriate alarm is
displayed
18 VAC: If the 24 VAC control circuit is 18 VAC or
less, the unit controller turns OFF all relay outputs
and displays the appropriate alarm
Supply Fan Operation
Every rooftop unit has a direct drive plenum (DDP)
supply fan. This type of fan does not have belts, drive
packages, or bearings.
All supply fans are controlled by a VFD. Control of the
supply fan is different depending on the unit type.
Supply Fan Alarm
All rooftop units have an air proving switch (APS). The
MZVAV configured units also have a factory installed
duct static pressure transducer.
The APS provides proof of operation for the supply fan.
Once the supply fan is started, the APS has 60 sec-
onds to close.
When the APS does not close within 60 seconds, the
following happens:
1. The unit controller immediately stops all cooling
or heating operation
2. Log the incident as a supply fan alarm
3. Start a 10 minute reset timer
4. After expiration of the 10 minute timer, the supply
fan attempts to restart
5. If a supply fan alarm occurs 6 times within 2
hours, the unit controller locks out the unit and
displays the unit locked out - airow proof alarm
When supply fan operation is proven and the APS
opens for more than 2 seconds, a supply fan alarm is
logged.
Follow steps 1–5 above
MZVAV Supply Fan
When unit type is MZVAV, the supply fan runs when-
ever the unit occupancy is OCC. The supply fan speed
is controlled by the duct static pressure (DSP).
The DSP transducer sends a 0–10 VDC signal to the
unit controller. The unit controller uses this signal to
determine if the current DSP is higher or lower than the
DSP active setpoint.
When the current DSP is below the DSP active set-
point, the unit controller increases the fan speed
When the current DSP is above the DSP active set-
point, the unit controller decreases the fan speed
The unit controller outputs a 0–10 VDC signal to the
supply fan VFD. The DSP setpoint must be set under
the Views > Commissioning > Air Balancer > Supply
menu.
