3. 43 Phason Chapter 3 Programming your site Programming the humidity compensation If you have installed and configured a humidity sensor you need to program the humidity compensation Programming the humidity compensation means setting the humidity factor and the upper and lower humidity limits The humidity band is the humidity range in which the Supra attempts to compensate for humidity The humidity factor is a number between 0 and 10 that determines the amount of humidity compensation A lower value produces a slight ventilation adjustment while a higher value produces a greater adjustment How it works The Supra uses the humidity band and factor to adjust the ventilation for the zone At the beginning of the band the lower limit very little adjustment is made As the humidity rises the adjustment increases At or above the upper limit of the band the maximum adjustment is applied For example if the maximum acceptable humidity for your zone is 70 set the lower limit to 70 You could set the upper limit to 90 90 is the maximum allowed and 20 is the minimum difference between the lower and upper limits When the humidity is below 70 the ventilation rate is controlled by the zone s normal programmed settings As the humidity rises above 70 humidity compensation starts to take effect and the ventilation rate increases When the humidity reaches 90 the humidity compensation reaches its maximum adjusted rate If
4. Minimum set point temperature Minimum position Set point temperature differential temperature and position for stages 1 to 4 How actuators work While the temperature is below the minimum set point the actuator is closed When the temperature rises to the minimum set point the actuator moves to the minimum position As the temperature rises the actuator has four stages it moves through until it reaches its maximum open position This method lets you gradually open inlets instead of fully opening them when the temperature rises above a single set point For example you might decide to have the actuator open to 40 percent at stage 1 60 percent at stage 2 80 percent at stage 3 and 100 percent at stage 4 However you do not want the actuator to open directly to 40 percent That is why there are two temperature settings for each stage The first setting is the stage set point This is where the actuator starts opening The second setting is the differential This is where the actuator reaches the stage position In other words when the temperature is here stage set point I want the actuator to start opening When the temperature reaches here stage differential I want the actuator to be at this position stage position percent 50 Phason Programming variable and relay stages Actuator position 100 Stage 4 differential Stage 4 set point Stage 3 differential Stage 3 set point Stage 2 different

Settings Manager Programming growth curves A growth curve is an extension of the group set point concept The growth curve automatically adjusts the set points over time to control the temperature in a room or zone For example in hog production newborn piglets require a high temperature for comfort and health As they grow older they need a steadily lower temperature Using the growth curve you can have the Supra automatically adjust the temperatures You can start at 76 F for 1 day drop to 74 F for 1 day then to 71 F for 21 days 68 F for 14 days and so on You can program two growth curves Growth Curve A and Growth Curve B This lets you control two different areas of your facility with each Supra with each area having independent set points You can have up to seven steps in a growth curve Each step has a starting temperature and duration in days The Supra automatically calculates the set points for the days between the steps and adjusts the set points at midnight each day Individual set points for the variable and fixed stages atre adjusted relative to the growth curve temperature for that particular day This is an extremely powerful feature because it lets you put fan and heating strategies in place once and then adjust them automatically over time In the following page step 2 has a duration of 10 days The difference between the starting set point 86 5 F and the starting set point for the next step 85 F is 1 5 F
