Evolution S-3 and S-3 Expansion Software Enhancements

V0.11 Software Revision

1. History Mode

A new feature was added to allow automatic resetting of the on-board history. In this

revision, the history will also reset any time the Synchronize button is pressed.

The History Mode displays the High and Low Temperatures for each specific zone, any

Back-Up stages which have turned ON, as well as any alarm conditions which have

occurred since the last reset.

The History Reset function is displayed after pressing the Mode Button once after the

Low Temp is displayed. The Zone 1 display will indicate “HIS” and the Zone 2 display

will indicate “no” initially. Press the “+” button for selecting YES, then press the Mode

button to confirm the History Reset to reset all control history. A new feature added in

version V0.10 and later software allows automatic resetting of the on-board history

anytime the Synchronize button is pressed.

2. Synchronize Systems

The Synchronize Systems feature is used with the EV-3000 or EV-3001 controller to

update the S3 target temperatures to the match the controller target temperatures and also

automatically reset the on-board history. The on-board history automatic reset is a new

feature added in version V0.10 and later software. If the S3 and the EV-3000 or EV-3001

temperature targets do not reflect the same information, the Synchronize Systems LED

will flash. Press the Select button to automatically Synchronize the target temperatures

and reset the on-board history. When the Synchronize Systems Select button is pressed,

the target temperatures of the S3 will be changed to match the Evolution 3000/3001

controller target temperatures. It will also be displayed in the Back-Up display for

verification.

3. Software Bugs Repaired

Several noise related issues have been reported especially in the S3/EV-16 Combo. Since

the combo is exposed to more switching noise it makes sense to assume that it would

display more noise related issues. Some of the reported problems have been settings such

as high and/or low limits changing automatically, unusual history recordings such as

abnormally high temperature history, and the displays blanking for long periods of time.

Issues were discovered in the routines that handle the interface. More specifically, it had

to do with the way that it handles the temperature sensor and back-up display buttons. It

was discovered that this setting was not checked to determine if it was above its

maximum. If for some reason, it was allowed to be greater than the maximum, it will

cause the issues described above. This was corrected in this revision.

In addition to this, changes were made to insure that the displays were always displaying

data by reloading the settings every two seconds. This way if noise does affect the

operation, the controller will correct itself within two seconds. Also, if the controller

ever locks up, the Watchdog timer will completely reset the display functions insuring

that it does not continue to be locked up.

4. P3 - Back-Up Timer Percentage

This determines the percentage that COOL 1 will be run in an Emergency condition for

minimum ventilation. (10% to 100%). The timer is a five minute timer.

A new timer percentage curve feature (added in version V0.09 and later software)

automatically changes the timer percentage based on the Target Temperature.

The data and table below shows an example:

The table and graph above is representative of the curve. The curve actually has multiple

points as the Target Temperature changes in between these points. The Emergency

Back-Up Timer Percentage is not user selectable although you can view the current timer

percentage by going to Program Mode and displaying P3. As you can see by the table,

once the Target Temperature gets to 70 F (21.1 C) or less, the timer fan will run 100% of

the time. In other words, Cool 1 will always run in the event that the main controller is

lost or has a problem operating its timer fans. Timer percentages in between 70 – 100%

are not implemented because frequent on-off transitions are very hard on single phase AC

motors.
