27. Top Unique
Features of the
UbiquiSTAT
BACnet Thermostats
27

28. Discharge Air Setpoint Reset
■ Control based on maintaining a discharge air temperature rather than zone
temperature
■ Use with modulating heat or cool systems ONLY
■ Adjust the discharge air setpoint based on the Delta T between the heating or
cooling setpoint and the zone temperature. The larger the Delta T, the bigger
the adjustment to the discharge air setpoint
■ Independent Reset Ratio adjustment for both heating and cooling discharge
air setpoints.
28

29. Demand Ventilation
■ The demand ventilation feature allows the outdoor air intake to be varied in
order to limit a maximum acceptable level of CO2 in the space.
■ Works in conjunction with a CO2 sensor directly wired to an analog input of
the UbiquiSTAT
■ A CO2 PPM setpoint threshold is programmed in the UbiquiSTAT. When that
threshold is exceeded, the analog output wired from the UbiquiSTAT to the
outdoor air damper will begin to modulate based on a programmed
proportional band to allow fresh air into the space until the CO2 PPM drops
below setpoint.
29

30. Dehumidification w/ Reheat
■ Coming Soon on Model US4060
■ When indoor humidity levels exceed the programmed humidity setpoint, the
UbiquiSTAT will cycle cooling to dehumidify the air
■ If running the cooling to dehumidify leads to an overcooling of the zone, the
UbiquiSTAT can reheat the discharge air to maintain comfort in the zone.
■ This reheat setpoint, which is the zone temperature where reheat will engage,
is a programmable Delta T above the cooling setpoint (default setting)
■ The reheat setpoint can also be a programmed temperature, independent of
the heating or cooling setpoint.
30

31. Fan Recirculation Mode
■ Introduced by TCS in order to satisfy a majority of fresh air recirculation
building code requirements.
■ Allows fan to be in AUTO Mode instead of ON during occupancy
Example:
○ It is determined the fan must run for 30 minutes out of each hour in order to
maintain fresh air recirculation requirement
○ There are 3 calls for cooling in a 45 minute period for a total of 15 minutes of fan
runtime.
○ The UbiquiSTAT will run the fan for an additional 15 minutes, regardless of a call
for cooling in order to meet the fresh air recirculation requirement.
31

32. Pre-occupancy Purge
■ Used to remove build-up of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and other
elements in the air when the space is unoccupied.
■ Commonly used to purge the air from the out-gassing paints, glues, and other
construction and material chemicals on newly constructed buildings.
■ This feature causes some amount of fresh air to circulate into the space for a
specified period of time just prior to the occupancy mode changing from
unoccupied to occupied.
■ The rate and duration of fresh air intake is programmable and is typically
determined by number of building air exchanges and is computed specifically
for each building by an engineer.
32

33. Midpoint Heat/Cool Control
■ Midpoint control operates on both heat and cool simultaneously to generate a
single output that varies around a midpoint.
■ An output below the midpoint represents a call for heating and an output
above the midpoint represents a need for cooling.
■ This output is typically connected to a hot deck cold deck system.
33

34. Aquastat - Changeover and Unoccupied Options
■ Aquastat mode allows controller to sense when heat or cool is available from
supply air or water temp, or via a digital input.
■ When supply air or water is above the setpoint or digital input is tripped,
heating is allowed. When below the setpoint or digital input is tripped, cooling
is allowed.
■ During unoccupied mode, can continue to modulate in normal programming,
or set to fixed percentage output. Typically used to keep heating valves
marginally open to prevent pipes from freezing when the normal heating
demands of the space are insufficient.
34

35. Discharge Air Tempering
■ The discharge tempering feature addresses the issue of distributing
unconditioned air into the space that may be uncomfortable. This typically
occurs when the fan is cycling in outdoor air that is very hot or cold, and no or
very little mechanical cooling or heating is active, usually because the space
is satisfied (in the deadband).
■ The discharge tempering feature allows a discharge air setpoint to be
programmed to provide temperate (65-75 degree) discharge air while the
zone temperature is in the deadband between the heating and cooling
setpoints.
■ Can be used with modulating heating or cooling ONLY.
