Economizer Troubleshooting
Use the unit Scrolling Marquee display or a CCN device to view
the economizer status display and the economizer diagnostic
display (see Appendix A) for information on the economizer
operation. Check the current alarms and alarm history for any
economizer alarm codes and correct any causes. (See Table 12.)
Verify any unique control configurations per installed site
requirements or accessories. If alarms conditions are corrected and
cleared, operation of the economizer may be verified by using the
Service Test mode (see Service Test section and Table 4). The
following steps specify how to test the economizer using the
Scrolling Marquee display. See Table 16 for general economizer
service analysis.
1. Enter the
Service Test
main menu on the display.
2. Enter
TEST
and turn ON test mode. A password may be
needed in order to turn ON the Service Test. The default
password is 1111.
3. Return to the main level of
Service Test
.
4. Enter the
INDP
submenu and enter an initial value for
ECON
. This will drive the economizer damper to the
specified position. Continue to adjust the
ECON
value to
make sure the economizer opens and closes.
5. Because of a mechanical problem with the economizer, the
actuator might acquire a new degree of rotation which is
less than M.ANG. If this occurs, a “T414 Economizer
Damper Actuator Out of Calibration” alert will be
generated. This alert can only occur if the economizer is
using
digital
communications
(
Configuration
→
ECON
→
E.CTL =
1 or 2
). The economizer calibration
procedure (
Service Test
→
IND.P
→
E.CAL
) will reconfigure
the actuator to the new fully closed and fully open
positions. To implement the calibration procedure, change
E.CAL
from OFF to ON.
E.CAL
will remain ON as long as
the calibration procedure is being implemented (as long as 5
minutes). During the calibration procedure the actuator will
close fully and then open fully. After the calibration is
complete, the degree of rotation should be greater than
M.ANG, causing the T414 alert to clear. If the T414 alert
does not clear, check the economizer damper for other
mechanical problems.
6. Return to
Service Test
→
TEST
and turn OFF test mode.
This will cause the unit to return to normal operation.

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
REMEDY
Damper Does Not Move.
Indoor Fan is off.
Check for proper thermostat connection.

operation and the thermostat is not calling for
heating or cooling.
Unit is in Unoccupied mode and there is no
call for heating or cooling.
Tripped circuit breaker.
No power to the unit.
Unit is off via CCN command.
Actuator is unplugged at motor or at
economizer board.
Check wiring connections.
Unit is not configured for economizer.
Configure unit for economizer per the
instructions.
Outdoor-air temperature is above economizer
high temperature lockout.
Adjust the high temperature lockout setting
if it is incorrect, otherwise, economizer is
operating correctly.
Outdoor-air temperature is below economizer low
temperature lockout.
Adjust the low temperature lockout setting
if it is incorrect, otherwise, economizer is
operating correctly.
Communication loss to economizer board.
Check wiring connections.
Damper is jammed.
Identify the obstruction and safely remove.
Economizer Operation is Limited
to Minimum Position.
Minimum position is set incorrectly.
Adjust minimum position setting.
Outdoor-air temperature is above economizer
high temperature lockout.
Adjust the high temperature lockout setting
if it is incorrect, otherwise, economizer is
operating correctly.
Outdoor-air temperature is below economizer
low temperature lockout.
Adjust the low temperature lockout setting if it is
incorrect, otherwise, economizer is operating
correctly.
Outdoor-air thermistor is faulty.
Replace outdoor-air thermistor.
Low suction pressure problem with a compressor.
Economizer is operating correctly, identify
compressor problem.
Economizer Position is Less
Than Minimum Position.
IAQ is controlling minimum damper position.
Adjust the IAQ settings if incorrect,
otherwise, the economizer is operating correctly.
Unit is in Unoccupied mode.
Adjust unit occupied schedule if incorrect,
otherwise, economizer is operating correctly.
Economizer Does Not Return
to Minimum Position.
Unit is operating under free cooling.
Economizer is operating correctly.
Damper Does Not Close on
Power Loss.
Damper is jammed or spring return is backwards.
Identify the obstruction and safely remove.
Outdoor Damper Does Not Fully
Close at 0% or Fully Open at 100%.
Economizer actuator is out of calibration or spring
return is backwards.
Enter Service Test mode and run the Calibrate
Economizer (E.CAL) procedure.
Economizer is Not at Configured
Minimum Position
Unit is operating under free cooling or a force is
applied to the commanded position.
Economizer is operating correctly.
