When would I disable the thermostat’s internal sensor?
When would I disable the thermostat’s internal sensor? In some situations the Pelican master thermostat might be installed in a room or in a location completely isolated from where it is maintaining temperature. In this scenario, you will want to use an external sensor (wired or wireless) and set the thermostat’s internal sensor to disabled. […]
When should I use the thermostat Calibration Degrees?
When should I use the thermostat Calibration Degrees? Rarely. All Pelican thermostats come with extremely accurate, factory calibrated, room temperature sensors. What are the configuration options? 0°F (default): Leaving Calibration Degrees at 0°F keeps the thermostat using its factory calibrated temperature readings. 0.5 °F to 2.0 °F: The thermostat will read warmer in the room […]
When is Fan Circulation Minutes used?
When is Fan Circulation Minutes used? Fan Circulation Minutes enforces a minimum fan run-time for each hour of the day. What are common uses for Fan Circulation Minutes? During occupied hours you can use this configuration to make sure the fan runs for a minimum number of minutes every hour to provide proper indoor ventilation. […]
What voltage floating actuators can a Pelican thermostat control?
What voltage floating actuators can a Pelican thermostat control? 24 Vac floating actuators. A Pelican thermostat can control hot water, steam, chilled water, zone damper, and/or zone reheat 24 Vac floating actuator. Contact Pelican Sales and ask for sales engineer support for your application. Note: If you have a line-voltage (120 Vac, 240 Vac, or […]
What should I set Cycles Per Hour to?
What should I set Cycles Per Hour to? In almost all cases, you should leave Cycles Per Hour at 4. What are the configuration options? 4 (Default): The thermostat will target four cycles per hour to maintain the heating or cooling set-point. 1 – 3: Decreases the cycles per hour target by expanding the deviation […]
What should I set Anticipation Degrees to?
What should I set Anticipation Degrees to? In almost all cases, you should leave Anticipation Degrees at 0.1°F. What are the configuration options? 0.1°F (default): Mechanical cooling will disable when the room temperature is 0.1°F above the cool set point and mechanical heating will be disabled when the room temperature is 0.1°F degrees below the […]
What should I set a thermostat’s System Type to?
What should I set a thermostat’s System Type too? System Type changes when or why the Pelican thermostat’s enables its outputs. Conventional HVAC Units: Conventional air conditioners generally have separate cooling sources from their heating sources. For this reason, conventional air conditions are often packages of one or multiple compressors, chilled water valves and a […]
What should I set a thermostat’s Reversing Valve to?
What should I set a thermostat’s Reversing Valve to? This thermostat configuration is only settable for thermostats whos System Type is set to Heat Pump. This configuration can be found in the Pelican Web-App > Admin > Thermostat Configuration > ‘select any thermostat‘ > System Settings > System Type. Reversing Valve: A reversing valve is […]
What is the difference between Auxiliary and Emergency Heat?
What is the difference between Auxiliary and Emergency Heat? Auxiliary Heat: An auxiliary heating source acts as secondary heating source (normally electric) and is enabled similar to a second stage of heating. Emergency Heat: An emergency heating source acts as a back-up heating source and will only be enabled if the Heat Pump’s primary heating […]
What is Heat Range?
What is Heat Range? Heat Range sets how far up and down the thermostat allows its heat set point to be placed. For example, a 56° F to 73° F range means the thermostat will allow its heat set point to be changed from 56° F at its lowest and 73° F at its highest. […]
