RRS Economizer Controller Quick Start Guide

RRS ECONOMIZER CONTROLLER PARAMETER 
MENU FUNCTIONS

There are several “conditional” parameters within the menu.
Parameters  for  temperature,  humidity  and  CO

2

  inputs  are

only  shown  in  the  menu  once  sensor  presence  has  been
detected.  Parameters  associated  with  a  function  are  only
shown in the menu when that function is enabled.

The  values  of  status  parameters,  binary  inputs  and  binary
outputs  update  in  the  menu  approximately  5  seconds  after
the point of value change. The buffered values in use for con-
trol sequences, rather than the “raw” inputs, are shown in the
menu  for  analog  inputs.  Since  changes  are  at  a  relatively
slow rate, the values for analog outputs shown in the menu
are nearly “real time”.

Set-point  parameter  settings  within  the  menu,  like  the
[Damper Min Pos] example 

below

, are typically shown as a

numeric value with appropriate limits on the available range.
Configuration  parameter  settings  within  the  menu  are  typi-
cally shown as “Yes” / “No”, “Enable” / “Disable”, etc. or as a
list of available selections. The range of available selections
are shown in red text to the right of set-point and configura-
tion  parameters  listed  in  the  “RRS  Economizer  Controller
Menu Guide”.

FIGURE 8 - 

Selecting A Parameter To Change

From a set-point or configuration parameter, setting change
is initiated by pressing the 

(enter) button. The display back-

light will then flash on and off to indicate setting change activ-
ity is in progress.

FIGURE 9 - 

Changing A Parameter Value Using The 

Up And Down Buttons

With  setting  change  activity  in  progress,  presses  of  the 

(scroll  up)  button  increase  the  numeric  setting  or  scroll
through the list of available settings, presses of the 



(scroll

down) button decrease the numeric setting or scroll through
the list of available settings.

FIGURE 10 - 

Completing The Parameter Value 

Change

A press of the 

(enter) button stores the new setting in the

controller  for  immediate  use  and  the  display  back-light  will
then  stop  flashing  to  indicate  setting  change  activity  has
ended.

A press of the esc (cancel) button retains the previous setting
in the controller and the display back-light will then stop flash-
ing to indicate setting change activity has ended.

NOTE:   

When  making  changes  to  configuration  parameter

settings  that  influence  the  conditional  parameters
shown  in  the  menu  section,  allow  the  menu  to
refresh by using the esc (cancel) button to navigate
away  one  or  two  levels  then  navigate  back  to  the
menu section.

FIGURE 11 - 

Scrolling Of Long Text

Longer text of some parameter values can exceed the side-
scrolling  capability  of  the  display.  Other  than  set-point  and
configuration  parameters,  the  full  text  of  longer-named
parameter values is viewed and text side-scrolling is slowed
when  the 

(enter)  button  is  held.  (The  example  shown

above

  is  the  result  of  a  “Variable  Frequency  Fan”  setting

incorrectly selected for the [Exhaust Setup] configuration on
the RRS Economizer Controller)

FUNCTIONS IN THE “UPDATE” SECTION OF THE 
RRS ECONOMIZER CONTROLLER PARAMETER 
MENU

Several  functions  in  the  “Update”  section  of  the  parameter
menu  use  a  flash  drive  (or  “thumb  drive”)  connected  to  the
controller  USB  port.  If  the  sequence  that  follows  does  not
occur when the flash drive is connected to the USB port, it is
