Sequence of Operation
Control Temperature Setpoints
Depending on the controller’s current operational mode (day or night), CTL STPT (Point 92)
holds the value of one of the following setpoints:
Day Mode—CTL STPT holds the value of DAY CLG STPT (Point 6) or DAY HTG STPT
(Point 7). If the room temperature sensor has a setpoint dial and STPT DIAL (Point 14) is set
to YES, CTL STPT holds the value of RM STPT DIAL (Point 13).
If the setpoint dial is used and the value of RM STPT DIAL is less than the value of RM STPT
MIN (Point 11), CTL STPT holds the value of RM STPT MIN. If the value of RM STPT DIAL is
greater than the value of RM STPT MAX (Point 12), CTL STPT holds the value of RM STPT
MAX.
Night Mode—CTL STPT holds the value of NGT CLG STPT (Point 8) or NGT HTG STPT
(Point 9).
NOTE: The value of CTL TEMP (Point 78) is the same as ROOM TEMP (Point 4), unless
CTL TEMP is overridden.
Day and Night Modes
The day/night status of the space is determined by the status of DAY.NGT (Point 29).
If the controller is operating stand-alone, it stays in day mode all the time. If the controller is
operating with centralized control (that is, connected to a field panel), the field panel can send
an operator or PPCL command to override the status of DAY.NGT. See APOGEE
