of the heating proportional band. The third electric heating stage activates when
the return air temperature decreases to 100% of the heating proportional band.
The temperature controller deactivates the third heating stage when the return air
temperature increases to 66% of the heating proportional control band value. The
second heating is deactivated when the return air temperature increases to 33% of
the heating proportional control band value. The first heating stage is deactivated
when the return air temperature increases to the temperature set point value or
0% of the heating proportional control band value.

Note: in the above example that the control band begins at the 70°F temperature
set point and has a length of 4°F, which is ½ of the programmed temperature
proportional band value.
As the return air temperature decreases Reheat 1 is activated at 68.7°F or 33% of
the heating control band. If the return air temperature continues to decrease
Reheat 2 will activate at 67.4°F or 66% of the heating control band. If the return
air temperature continues to decrease Reheat 3 will activate at 66°F or 100% of
the heating control band.
When the return air temperature starts to increase, Reheat 3 is deactivated at
67.4°F or 66% of the heating control band, Reheat 2 is deactivated at 68.7°F or
33% of the heating control band and Reheat 1 is deactivated at the temperature
set point of 70°F or 0% of the heating control band.
