Max Heat
Maximum Heat is a full airflow mode of heating operation with the supply fan operating at maximum
speed. The controller does not provide maximum heat; instead, the controller provides heat capacity per
the Operating Mode and unit type.
VVDA
Variable Volume Discharge Air control units will transition to Maximum Heat operation in heating modes
(for example Occupied Heat, Morning Warm Up, Daytime Warm Up) when the installed heating capacity
requires full airflow of the adjusted supply fan speed. Maximum Heat can also be a Heat Cool Mode Request command, which Symbio™
700 will remain in the mode until the mode is released.
On the transition to Maximum Heat, the Symbio 700 will reduce the supply fan to minimum speed,
energize the VAV Box Relay and wait the duration of the VAV Box Stroke Time (adjustable). The VAV
Box Stroke Time allows the VAV boxes in the system to open. The supply fan speed will then increase to
100% or the maximum speed subject to high duct static pressure limit. Once the supply fan reaches its
allowed maximum speed, Symbio 700 will enable heating capacity control to Discharge Air Heating
Setpoint Active. Ventilation is managed per the operating mode
The transition from Maximum Heat back to modulating airflow control modes is as follows:
1. Heat capacity terminates (if active), and a 90-second post-heat timer begins.
2. Supply fan speed slows to minimum speed, and a 3-minute minimum speed timer begins.
3. VAV Box Relay de-energizes.
4. When the 90-second post heat and 3-minute minimum speed timer expire, modulating airflow
control is enabled, operating mode transitions, and capacity control enables.
