RRS Economizer Controller Quick Start Guide

17

•   If [Occupancy] indicates “Unoccupied”, free cool-

ing  operation  can  decrease  the  [Damper  Com-
mand] to “0.0 %”

Free cooling operation ends when either:

24 volts AC input to the RRS Economizer Controller Y1 
pin is removed ([Y1-Tstat] indicates “Off”)

[Free Clg Avail] indicates “No”

When free cooling operation ends:

The RRS Economizer Controller Y1O pin output is ener-
gized ([Compressor 1] indicates “On”) and Simplicity Lite 
operation of the compressor from Y1 thermostat/ECON 
input can resume if both
•   24 volts AC input to the RRS Economizer Control-

ler Y1 pin remains (free cooling operation ended
because [Free Clg Avail] indicates “No”)

•   The [Cmp Min Off Time] timer expires

The [Cmp Min Off Time] timer expires
•   The active minimum position value if [Occupancy]

indicates “Occupied”

•   “0.0 %” if [Occupancy] indicates “Unoccupied”

COMPRESSOR SWITCHING BY SAT INPUT

Compressor  switching  by  the  RRS  Economizer  Controller
supply air temperature input and [Excess SAT Stpt] requires
the following to be effective:

There is 24 volts AC input to the RRS Economizer Con-
troller Y1 pin ([Y1-Tstat] indicates “On”)

[Free Clg Avail] indicates “No”

[Supply Temp] cannot indicate “Out of range high”

Then, when [Supply Temp] falls to or below the [Excess SAT
Stpt]:

The RRS Economizer Controller Y1O pin output is de-
energized ([Compressor 1] indicates “Off”)
•   Simplicity Lite will display flash code 11 and com-

pressor operation from Y1 thermostat/ECON input
ends

The [Cmp Min Off Time] timer begins

An “Excessive Supply Air Temp Cooling” Alarm becomes 
active

Then,  when  [Supply  Temp]  rises  above  the  [Excess  SAT
Stpt] and the [Cmp Min Off Time] timer expires:

The RRS Economizer Controller Y1O pin output is ener-
gized ([Compressor 1] indicates “On”)
•   Simplicity Lite compressor operation from Y1 ther-

mostat/ECON input can resume

The “Excessive Supply Air Temp Cooling” Alarm is no 
longer active

NOTE:  

Compressor operation by Simplicity Lite from input to

the  Simplicity  Lite Y2  terminal  is  not  influenced  by
the RRS Economizer Controller supply air tempera-
ture input and [Excess SAT Stpt]

POWER EXHAUST/ERV FUNCTIONS

Through the ERV-EXH output pin ([Exhaust Fan]), the BASIC
model  of  the  RRS  Economizer  Controller  provides  24  volts
AC  output  for  control  of  non-modulating  power  exhaust
accessories  or  pivoting  wheel  exhaust  recovery  ventilator
accessories.

Power  exhaust/ERV  functions  are  disabled  when  [Exhaust
Setup] is set to “None”. The [Exhaust Setup] setting of “Vari-
able Frequency Fan” is not valid for the BASIC model of the
RRS Economizer Controller and should not be used.

Power exhaust control switching when [Exhaust Setup] is set
to “Non Modulating Control”:

The [Exhaust Fan] is “On” if the [Damper Command] 
rises above the [Damper % Fan On] setting

The [Exhaust Fan] is “Off” if the [Damper Command] falls 
below the [Damper % Fan Off] setting

NOTE:  

Although any setting from 0% to 100% is accepted,

[Damper % Fan Off] must have a setting less than
[Damper % Fan On] and greater than [Damper Min
Pos]

Exhaust recovery ventilator control switching when [Exhaust
Setup] is set to “ERV”:

The [Exhaust Fan] is “On” if the [Damper Command] 
rises above “50%”

The [Exhaust Fan] is “Off” if the [Damper Command] falls 
to “45%” or less

RRS ECONOMIZER CONTROLLER ALARMS

[Fault Detect En] must be set to “Enable” for California Title
24 Alarms to be effective. California Title 24 Alarms can only
occur  if  the  cause  of  the  Alarm  has  been  sustained  for  a
period of 10 minutes or more.

When any Alarm is active:

The red FAULT LED will display a repetitive double-flash/
pause

The contact between ALMCOM and ALM terminals will 
be closed

The  five  most  recently  occurring  active  Alarms  are  listed  at
parameter menu navigation Level 0 and the Level 1 [Alarms]
section of the menu. The active Alarms are listed in order of
most recent to oldest. Alarms are removed from the listing of
active Alarms when the conditions that caused the Alarm are
no longer effective. The listing of active Alarms is not retained
when the controller is not powered.
