ComCheck DOAS dummy zone surface temperature out of bounds

I'm trying to model a DOAS system in the new EnergyPro NRM6 module (w/ ComCheck energyplus engine). I created a DOAS dummy zone with 6 surfaces.

When running EnergyPlus simulation, the program always abort and show error in the eplusout.err file:


* Severe * Temperature (high) out of bounds (4672.26] for zone="20-OSA DUMMY ZONE", for surface="INTERIOR SURFACE189" * ~~~ * During Warmup, Environment=QUICKANALYSIS1 RUN PERIOD, at Simulation time=03/26 01:45 - 01:46 * ~~~ * Zone="20-OSA DUMMY ZONE", Diagnostic Details: * ~~~ * ...Internal Heat Gain [2.153] W/m2 * ~~~ * ...Infiltration/Ventilation [0.000] m3/s * ~~~ * ...Mixing/Cross Mixing [0.000] m3/s * ~~~ * ...Zone is part of HVAC controlled system. * Fatal * CalcHeatBalanceInsideSurf: Program terminates due to preceding conditions.


There are other split DX systems in the model, to which the DOAS system serves outside air.

Has anyone had similar problem before? I'm not sure if this is ComCheck issue (I'm thinking maybe some settings not passed correctly to E+, or it doesn't ask for proper inputs that E+ need to calculate a DOAS system).

Any advice appreciated, thanks!
