Comfort Controllers
Carrier Comfort Controllers
are microprocessor-based controllers that provide all the features
necessary for complete stand-alone or network control of non-Carrier
products or existing Carrier equipment. Comfort Controllers are
compatible with the Carrier Comfort Network, Carrier's VVT Comfort
System and the Temp Comfort System.
Comfort Controllers make it
possible to bring DDC technology to all of your facility's equipment
and systems. Chillers, rooftop, air handlers, cooling towers,
unit heaters, circulating pumps, exhaust fans, interior and exterior
lighting, and more.
The Comfort Controller monitors
and controls on board points. The CC1600 may control up to 16
on-board points and the CC6400 also controls and monitors up to
16 on-board points and may also be expanded through additional
Input and Output modules to control and monitor up to 64 on-board
points.
Comfort Controllers include
a library of proven control routines with a "fill-in-the-blanks"
format for easy programming. The built in routine include, but
are not limited to:
- Staged thermostat - four
stages plus the fan
- Staged control - six stages,
for variable Volume (VAV) and Constant Volume (CV) air handlers
with electric heat and/or DX cooling and cooling towers
- Lead/lag pump control
with automatic fault logic.
- Mixed air damper control
- Heating and cooling coil
control
- Indoor air quality
- Air and water reset
- Humidification
- Sequenced cooling and
heating coil control for Constant Volume applications
- Static pressure and fan
tracking
In addition to the pre-programmed
control routines, the Comfort Controller may be custom-programmed
via Carrier BEST++ programming language.
Additional features:
- Built-in time clock -
A 365 day time clock simplifies time scheduling. It features
eight different program periods per day and includes 18 holiday
periods plus automatic daylight savings and leap year adjustment.
- Energy management - In
combination with optional network modules, the Comfort Controller
can help reduce energy costs by integrating load-shedding, facility
time schedule, Water System Manager, Terminal System manager,
and other functions.
- Data trending - The Comfort
Controller can collect and store temperature, energy consumption
and other data for future reference. All data can be viewed
and saved via ComfortWORKS.
- Easy Troubleshooting -
Clear diagnostic LED signals allow for quick diagnosis and minimum
downtime. The On-board Trending feature helps provide a picture
of the events prior to an abnormal occurrence, greatly reducing
troubleshooting time. Alarm conditions are immediately broadcasted
so situations can be addressed before occupant comfort is affected.
- Operator interfaces -
Comfort Controllers may be configured and monitored with Carrier's
ComfortWORKS, Building Supervisor or Network Service Tool. A hand
held Local Interface device (LID) provides for easy viewing, monitoring,
and configuration of the Comfort Controller without a personal
computer.
