Electric Heat Sequence
Cooling Unit
When staged electric heat is configured in the unit, the controller manages two binary outputs to provide 2-stages of heat control; depending on the size of the electric heat installed. When 2 stages of electric heat are installed on a Cooling Only unit, each stage of electric heat is 50% of the available Heating Capacity Primary Status. When 1 stage of electric heat is installed on a Cooling Only unit, it is assumed to represent 100% of the Heating Capacity Primary Status.
Heat Pump Unit
When 2 stages of electric heat are installed on a Heat Pump unit, each stage of electric heat is assumed to represent 50% of available Heat Secondary Capacity Status. When 1 stage of electric heat is installed on a Heat Pump unit, it is assumed to represent 100% of the Heat Secondary Capacity Status. If the last stage of compressor heating is energized or compressor(s) lockout is active, electric heat is allowed to stage.
