    Freeze-stat Reset Symptoms

    The freeze stat is to prevent the freezing of the air handler coil. If the temperature from the outdoor fresh air duct becomes low enough to freeze the coils. This can happen if the outdoor air temperature is very cold and the air handler blower is not running because it's in an unoccupied mode. The hot water valves are opened fully to heat up the coils. The web control system might intervene with other techniques. Ask Todd about these sequences.

      ALC Sends Email that a freeze-stat has tripped

      Go to the unit identified
      Verify the outdoor air damper is closed
      Press the black button on the clear plastic control box located near the return air duct.
      After it is pressed you will hear the fan motor start-up and things should be normal.

      Noticable Symptoms

      Some LC rooms may overheat uncontrollably.
      One instance on 2/8/24 @ 5:30pm: The center second floor hallway is 78°, room 203 is 77° and room 204 is 78°. The setpoint in these rooms is currently unoccupied and at 64°. The other classrooms are working properly. I am not sure Why they are overheating. After the freeze stat for AH3 was reset the temperatures returned to normal. Todd checked the system and could find no problem. It seems like it is just one of those tech things.

      (This might have been the legacy stat which was replaced and tied into the WebCTRL) "The freeze stat will trip around 5° outside and that stops the air handler from running but it opens the boiler valves to full heat. Most of the time when this trips it resets because it has an automatic reset and there's really nothing wrong with the system other than you have a little leakage around the damper for the fresh air intake."
