Control Logic
This control panel can be programmed in two different types of operation:
1. Continuous operation, no setback or schedule. This operation is normally applied to a
computer room or equipment room. This requires the menu #13 on the MINI-DAP II panel
set to “N”. the operational logic of this mode is the same as the logic of the OCCUPIED
mode. See below logic for details.
2. Setback/up or On/Off operation. This requires that menu #13 is set to “Y” and the seven
days schedules are set on menu #20 thru #26. See Menus setting for details. This operation has two
periods: OCCUPIED period and UNOCCUPIED period. See below logic for details.
Important note:
1. If menu #13- DAY SCHEDULE is set for “Y”, the time-of-day schedule setting for occupied and
unoccupied period must be set on menu #20 to #26. If they are left at “N/C”, the control panel will
operate as it is in the occupied period at all time.
2. Mini-DAP II panel does not have a real time clock with backup battery therefore the date and time
must be reset every time the panel loses power, otherwise the panel will stay in the same mode as
last time it is turned off and “TIME NOT SET” message will appear.
Occupied or Normal mode
When unit is in the “OCCUPIED” mode or normal operation, the MINI-DAP II will operate in the
following control logic:
EVAPORATOR FAN
The blower will operate based on the setting of menu #43-FAN MODE: AUTO OR CONT
AUTO: fan comes on when unit calls for cooling, heating, dehumidification and
humidification. It goes off in one minute when no functions are called for.
CONT: fan runs continuously during the occupied mode even when no functions are needed.
OCCUPIED COOLING LOGIC
1. 5 minutes delay between start to start of the compressor (anti short cycle delay).
2. 2 minutes delay between stop to start of the same compressor.
3. Compressor sequences as follows:
COOL 1 ON AT TEMPERATURE SETPOINT + TEMPERATURE DEADBAND
COOL 2 ON AT TEMPERATURE SETPOINT + TEMPERATURE DEADBAND + .3°F (IF EXISTS)

REV 8/03 15
COOL 2 OFF AT TEMPERATURE SETPOINT + TEMPERATURE DEADBAND
COOL 1 OFF AT TEMPERATURE SETPOINT
OCCUPIED HEATING LOGIC
1. 1 minute delay between stop to start of the reheat. Reheat will be overrided by humidification in the
computer room.
2. Heating sequences as follows:
HEAT ON AT TEMPERATURE SETPOINT – TEMPERATURE DEADBAND -.3 °FHEAT OFF AT
TEMPERATURE SETPOINT- TEMPERATURE DEADBAND
OCCUPIED HUMIDIFICATION LOGIC
1. Heat will be overrided by humidification unless menu #46 is set for “COMFORT”.
2. 1 minute delay between stop to start of humidification.
3. 5 minutes delay between humidification and dehumidification.
4. Humidification sequences as follows:
HUMIDIFICATION ON AT HUMIDITY SETPOINT + HUMIDITY DEADBAND
HUMIDIFICATION OFF AT HUMIDITY SETPOINT –1%
OCCUPIED DEHUMIDIFICATION LOGIC
1. Dehumidification is not governed by the adjustment rate but the operation will not violate compressor
short cycle times
2. Heating is used to reheat the overcooled and dehumified air but heating short cycle times will not be
violated. Also, if heating comes on and return air temperature is still below temperature setpoint
minus temperature deadband minus 2°F, with (Menu 47) the Dehumidifier set to “Yes W/INH” the
dehumidification cooling will be inhibited until the temperature goes back to the temperature setpoint.
If Menu 47 is set to “Yes WO/INH”, the dehumidification cooling will allow to stay on until Humidity
setpoint is satisfied regardless the Temperature setpoint.
3. When reheat comes on, the second stage of cooling will go off if it exists.
4. 1 minute delay between stop to start of the dehumidification.
5. Dehumidification compressor staging sequence:
COOL 1 ON AT HUMIDITY SETPOINT + HUMIDITY DEADBAND
COOL 2 ON AT HUMIDITY SETPOINT + HUMIDITY DEADBAND + 1% (IF EXISTS)
COOL 2 OFF AT HUMIDITY SETPOINT + HUMIDITY DEADBAND (IF EXISTS)
COOL 1 OFF AT HUMIDITY SETPOINT
Setback/up mode
When control panel in the unoccupied schedule, unit will operate as following:
EVAPORATOR FAN
The blower will operate based on the setting of menu #43-FAN MODE: AUTO OR CONT
AUTO: fan comes on when unit calls for cooling, heating, dehumidification and
humidification. It goes off in one minute when no functions are called for.
CONT: fan runs continuously during the occupied mode even when no functions are needed
SETUP COOLING LOGIC
When a SETBACK/UP time-of-day schedule is in effect and the Mini-Dap II is operating in the
“Unoccupied” mode, the effective heating setpoint will be adjusted upward by the amount specified
in menu #16.

REV 8/03 16
1. 5 minutes delay between start to start of the compressor ( anti short cycle delay).
2. 2 minutes delay between stop to start of the same compressor.

When a SETBACK/UP time-of-day schedule is in effect and the Mini-DAP is operating in the
“unoccupied” mode, the effective heating setpoint will be adjusted downward by the amount
specified in menu #17.
1. 1 minute delay between stop to start of the reheat. Reheat will be overrided by humidification.
2. Heating sequences as follows:
HEAT ON AT TEMP SETPOINT - HEAT SETBACK TEMP – TEMP DEADBAND - .3°F
HEAT OFF AT TEMP SETPOINT – HEAT SETBACK TEMP
SETBACK HUMIDIFICATION LOGIC
When a SETBACK/UP time-of-day schedule is in effect and the Mini-DAP is operating in the
“unoccupied” mode, the effective setpoint for humidification will be adjusted downward by the
amount specified in menu #19.
1. Heat will be overrided by humidification unless menu #46 is set for “COMFORT”.
2. 1 minute delay between stop to start of humidification.
3. 5 minutes delay between humidification and dehumidification.
4. Humidification sequences as follows:
HUMIDIFIER ON AT HUMIDITY SETPOINT – HUMIDITY SETBACK – HUMIDITY DEADBAND
HUMIDIFIER OFF AT HUMIDITY SETPOINT – HUMIDITY SETBACK – 1%
SETUP DEHUMIDIFICATION LOGIC
When a SETBACK/UP time-of-day schedule is in effect and the Mini-DAP is operating in the
“unoccupied” mode, the effective setpoint for dehumidification will be adjusted upward by the
amount specified in menu #18.
1. Dehumidification is not governed by the adjustment rate but the operation will not violate compressor
short cycle times
2. Heating is used to reheat the overcooled and dehumified air but heating short cycle times will not be
violated. Also if heating comes on and return air temperature is still below temperature setpoint minus
temperature deadband minus 2°F, the dehumidification cooling will be inhibited until the temperature
goes back to the temperature setpoint.
3. When reheat comes on, the second stage of cooling will go off if it exists.
4. 1 minute delay between stop to start of the dehumidification.
