  • HGR operation is associated with the C2 output.
  • Modulating HGR operation is available.
  • HGR Binary output is associated with reheat coil bleed valve functionality.
  • Both condenser fan outputs need to be active any time a compressor is active. CF2 may be turned off if HGR operation is active and outdoor air temp is too low.
  • 2 stage make/break percentages adjusted to account for capacity differences.
  • C3 output is linked to C1 faults/sensors
  • Evaporator Leaving Air temperature uses the EC4 analog input on the 4 stage board. Refer to the Installation manual for compressor staging information.

  • HGR operation is associated with the C2 output.
  • Modulating HGR operation is available.
  • HGR Binary output is associated with reheat coil bleed valve functionality.
  • Both condenser fan outputs are active any time a compressor is active. CF2 will be turned off if HGR operation is active and outdoor air temp is too low or maximum modulation has been reached.
  • Tandem circuit make/break percentages are adjusted to account for capacity difference.
  • C3 output is linked to C1 faults/sensors.
  • Evaporator Leaving Air temperature uses the EC4 analog input on the 4 stage board when modulating HGR is in use.

Method (non-HGR functionality) implementation

  • The display information is automatically configured to ignore the normal sensors associated with the C3 and C4 outputs. However, the Cooling Stage 3 area will still display many applicable indications (Status, Command, Runtime, etc). All Cooling Stage 4 parameters are hidden.
  • The EC4 input is rerouted to the Evaporator Leaving Air Temp if modulating HGR is used.
  • Start Count minimization functionality enforced

  • HGR operation is now associated with the C2 output (hence the term “inverted”).
  • Modulating HGR operation is available
  • HGR Binary output is associated with reheat coil bleed valve functionality
  • Both condenser fan outputs are active any time a compressor is active. CF2 may be turned off if HGR operation is active and outdoor air temp is too low or maximum modulation is reached.
  • Evaporator Leaving Air temperature uses the EC4 analog input on the 4 stage board when modulating HGR is in use.

Method (non-HGR functionality) implementation

  • The EC4 input is rerouted to the Evaporator Leaving Air Temp.
  • 2 stages of cooling are available, with make/break points at approximately 50%, and 100%.
  • Start Count minimization functionality enforced.

  • Fully load circuit 1 when utilizing HGR
  • Ignore faults/sensors normally used with C3 and C4 outputs (example: EC3, LPS3, LPS4)
  • Apply faults/lockouts to appropriate devices (example: LPS1 applies to C4)
  • Hide Lead/Lag configuration point. Default is always set to disable this functionality.

Implementation method

  • When a demand to energize the HGR valve with the C1 output is present, the C4 output is automatically tied to C1 output.
  • The display information is automatically configured to ignore the normal sensors associated with the C3 and C4 outputs. However, the Cooling Stage 3 and Cooling Stage 4 areas will still display many applicable indications (Status, Command, Runtime, etc).
