3.4.1.6
Insertion, Immersion Temperature
Insertion-temperature and immersion-temperature sensing element and transmitter-to-controller readout calibration accuracy shall be checked at one physical location along the axis of the sensing element. 3.4.1.7 Averaging Temperature
Averaging-temperature sensing element and transmitter-to-controller readout calibration accuracy shall be checked every 2 feet along the axis of the sensing element in the proximity of the sensing element, for a maximum of 10 readings. These readings shall then be averaged. 3.4.1.8 Controller Stations
The Contractor shall use the controllers' MANUAL/AUTOMATIC stations as the means of manipulating control devices, such as dampers and valves, to check IP operation and to effect stable conditions prior to making measurement checks. 3.4.1.9 Controller-Tuning Procedure
The Contractor shall perform a controller-tuning procedure, which shall consist of setting the initial proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) mode constants, controller setpoints, and logging the settings. Tuning shall be self-tuning operation by the controller unless manual tuning is necessary. 3.4.1.10 Controller Manual-Tuning Procedure
Where required, the controller manual-tuning procedure shall be performed in three steps. Using a constant-temperature-setpoint controller as an example, these steps are: a. Step A: (1) The controller MANUAL/AUTO station shall be indexed to the AUTO position and the integral- and derivative-mode constants set to zero. (2) The proportional-mode constant shall be set to an initial setting of 8 percent. (This corresponds to 2.0 ma per degree F proportional controller output change for a 100 degree F transmitter span.) This causes the controller output signal to vary from live zero output to full output for an input signal change representing an 8 degree F change. (3) Controllers for other variables, such as static pressure, shall have their proportional-mode constants set initially in a similar manner for an achievable output range proportional to the transmitter span. b. Step B: (1) The controller temperature setpoint shall be set at any achievable temperature. The controller output and transmitter input shall be observed.
SECTION 15950
Page 56 Am #0002
BU44
(2) If the transmitter input continuously oscillates above and below the setpoint without settling at a fixed value, or if such oscillation increases, the proportional-mode constant is too small. (3) If the proportional-mode constant is too small, increase it in steps until the transmitter input indicates stable control at any temperature, provided that the controller output is not at either extreme of the output range. (4) If the temperature control point slowly drifts toward or away from the controller setpoint, the proportional-mode constant is too large. Its setting shall be decreased in steps until oscillations occur as described in the preceding paragraphs, and then the setting shall be increased until stable control occurs. (5) A step change in controller setpoint shall be introduced. This should cause the controller to overshoot the setpoint slightly, with each subsequent overshoot peak value decreasing by a factor of 2/3 until stable control is achieved at, above, or below the setpoint. (6) Next, the integral-mode constant setting shall be increased in small steps, and setpoint changes shall be introduced until control point and controller setpoint coincide at stable control. This should happen consistently after a setpoint change within a short time, such as 5 to 10 minutes. c. Step C: (1) Unless the HVAC process variable changes rapidly, the derivative-mode constant setting can remain at zero. (2) If derivative control is needed, the derivative-mode constant shall be gradually increased. (3) Step changes in controller setpoint shall be introduced, and the derivative-mode constant setting adjusted until stable control is achieved. 3.4.1.11 Setting the Controller
After the controller manual-tuning procedure is complete, the controller shall be set at the setpoint as shown. 3.4.2 Unit Heater
