Air Ambient Auto Function Example

Air Ambient Auto Function Example

This example we will be assuming some things about the Air Ambient installation:


  • The Air Ambient is installed to have heating be triggered by the top connection of the two Thermistor Inputs while cooling will be triggered by the bottom Thermistor Inputs
  • All Testing has been done to ensure that the controlled unit(s) do begin to heat when the heat button is pressed and unit(s) begin to cool when the cool button is pressed
  • All Connected units have had their Toggle Rates configured and tested to confirm unit(s) shut down when set to Toggle Mode

                (Please note: These are not the standard values for all units. The units you are controlling may have different toggle                     rates. Please consult with your HVAC technician to find the correct values)

  • There is one Temperature Probe connected to an Air Device that has been associated with the same Eniscope the Air Ambient is associated with
  • All additional settings within the Air Ambient have been setup to best match the application
    • Default states of the Ambient are set
    • Toggle Rates are set & working


Once complete, the example case we will use will be setting up a complex series of Functions that will both heat and cool an area automatically without additional human inputs. We will use the following requirements to set up our Functions:

  • The area will need to be cooled once the temperature is above 24C
  • The area will need to be heated once the temperature is below 18C
  • The target temperature is to hold the area around 20C
  • The controlled unit (connected to TH1) needs to be heating and cooling during working days and hours:
    • 8:00am to 5:00pm
    • Monday through Friday

This will need four Functions to be made, along with 3 Actions, 3 Triggers, and 2 Timers.


Our Actions will look like this

(Please note: The Toggle Action will act to turn the unit off, so it is neither cooling nor heating)

Our Triggers will look like this

Our Timers will look like this:




(Please note: For the sake of consistency, both Start & End of day timers are Trigger Timers.)


Now that the segments have been made, they will need to be combined into Four Functions:
