Occupied Setpoints, Setback Setpoints, Remote Controller On/Off Prohibit, Remote Controller Mode Prohibit, Remote Controller Setpoint Prohibit, Timer Extension Setting, Fan Speed, and Setpoint Range Limit.

• Setpoint when unit is On (occupied). • Configurable Setup (Cooling) and Setback (Heating) setpoints when unit is Off

(unoccupied). • Time setting in 1-minute increments • Timer Extension shall be used for a timed override (settable from 30 – 180

minutes) to allow indoor unit operation during the unoccupied period • A maximum of 40 exception days can be schedule on the yearly schedule

(repeats yearly) • Exception days shall be used to override specified days on the weekly schedule

based upon irregular occupied/unoccupied conditions • Exception days can be configured on a set date (Jan 1) or floating date (1st

changeover methods for both Heat Pump and Heat Recovery systems based upon the changeover group configuration This will allow for the optimal room temperature to be maintained by automatically switching the indoor unit’s mode between Cool and Heat in accordance with the room temperature and setpoint. The following changeover scheme shall be applicable to the Fixed, Individual, and Averaging methods.

• Changeover to cooling mode shall occur at cooling setpoint + 1oF (0.5oC) as the primary changeover deadband and takes the guard timer into consideration

• Configurable from 1 – 4oF (0.5 – 2oC) • Changeover to cooling mode shall occur at the primary changeover deadband to

cooling + 1oF (0.5oC) as the secondary changeover deadband. • Configurable from 1 – 4oF (0.5 – 2oC) • Changeover to heating mode shall occur at heating setpoint - 1oF (0.5oC) as the

primary changeover deadband and takes the guard timer into consideration • Configurable from 1 – 4oF (0.5 – 2oC)


• Changeover to heating mode shall occur at the primary changeover deadband to heating - 1oF (0.5oC) as the secondary changeover deadband.

• Configurable from 1 – 4oF (0.5 – 2oC) • A weighted demand shall be configurable for the Averaging and Vote methods. • Fixed Method • Changeover evaluated by room temperature and setpoint of the representative

indoor unit (first registered indoor unit in changeover group) in the changeover group even when it is not operating (must be in Cool, Heat, or Auto mode)

• Changeover affects all indoor unit groups in the changeover group. • Individual method (recommended for Heat Recovery Systems) • Changeover evaluated by room temperature and setpoints of the individual

indoor unit group in the changeover group • Changeover affects individual indoor unit group in the changeover group • Average method • Changeover evaluated by the average of all indoor unit group’s room

temperatures and setpoints operating in Cool, Heat, or Auto mode in the changeover group list

• If none of the indoor units in the group meet the above requirements the Fixed method of changeover will be applied

• A weighted demand (0 – 3) can be configured for each indoor unit in the changeover group.

• Changeover affects all indoor unit groups in the changeover group. • Vote Method • In each indoor unit, the cooling demand is calculated based upon the difference

between the room temperature and cooling setpoint. If the room temperature falls below the primary cool changeover point (cool setpoint plus the primary changeover deadband) the cooling demand is considered as 0 (zero). Then the total cooling demand is calculated as the sum of each indoor unit’s cooling demand

• The opposite is true for the total heating demand • A weight (0-3) can be added to each indoor unit’s demand in the changeover

group. The default setting is 1 • The weight 0 (zero) means the indoor unit’s demand is not added in the total

demand, so the indoor unit’s demand is considered to be 0 (zero) • The weight 2 or 3 means the indoor unit’s demand is added 2 or 3 times in the

total demand, respectively • Changeover to cooling mode shall occur when the total cooling demand is greater

than the total heating demand. • The opposite is true for changeover to heating • Vote supports a Heating Override option, which prioritizes switching to the

heating mode if at least one room temperature falls below the secondary heat changeover point (heat setpoint minus the secondary changeover deadband) even if the total cooling demand is greater than the total heating demand.

• Changeover affects all indoor unit groups in the changeover group. • Changeover shall change the operation mode of the indoor unit that is set as the

Changeover Master. The Changeover Master indoor unit shall then change the operation mode of all indoor unit groups daisy chained to the same outdoor unit in the Heat Pump system or branch selector box in the Heat Recovery system.

• Guard timer


• Upon changeover, guard timer will prevent another changeover during the guard timer activation period (15, 30, 60 (default) min).

• Guard timer is ignored by a change of setpoint manually from either intelligent Touch Manger or Remote Controller, by schedule, or the room temperature meets or exceeds the secondary changeover deadband of the mode opposite of the current mode setting

• Controller shall support Interlock • Interlock feature for use with 3rd party equipment (DOAS, dampers, occupancy

sensing, etc…) to automatically control Groups or Areas corresponding to the change of the operation states or the On/Off states of any Group.
