Modes of operation
The Mode button on the SmartSense wall controller is responsible for
selecting one of the three modes of operation: Winter, Summer, and Manual.
When a mode is selected, the corresponding LED illuminates to show it is
active.
Note: The maximum speed in Winter Mode is the speed at which the fan
is running as fast as possible without creating a draft. In Summer Mode,
the maximum winter speed is the minimum summer speed. Any increase in
speed beyond that point provides a cooling effect.
Winter Mode
In Winter Mode, SmartSense monitors the difference in temperatures at the floor and ceiling levels. Fan speed
automatically adjusts to maintain a uniform temperature between the floor and ceiling (full destratification) while
using the lowest fan speed possible to further reduce energy consumption and increase HVAC equipment
efficiency.
Summer Mode
In Summer Mode, SmartSense monitors only the temperature at the floor level. Based on this reading, fan speed
adjusts according to the user-defined temperature and speed setting. See "Programming SmartSense" for
programming instructions.
Below are two examples of how SmartSense can be programmed. In Example 1, the maximum winter fan speed
is limited to 30%. The summer minimum speed temperature is set to 65° F (18.3° C). When the floor temperature
exceeds 65° F (18.3° C), the fan speed will increase (starting at winter maximum) proportionally with the temperature.
The summer maximum speed temperature is set to 85° F (29.4° C), which is the temperature at which the fan will
reach full speed.
