GEN ERAL

This accessory economizer package is designed to save
energy costs by using outdoor air for cooling and
ventilation in place of mechanical cooling whenever
possible. The economizer continuously monitors indoor
and outdoor air conditions and compares them to a
user-selected setpoint to determine if free cooling is
available.

AC CES SO RIES

RXRX-AV02 — Dual Enthalpy Up grade Kit

For maximum energy savings, this upgrade kit will allow
the economizer to compare the outdoor air enthalpy to the
return air enthalpy, instead of a user-selected setpoint to
determine if "free cooling" is available.

RXRX-AR02 - Wall-Mounted Car bon Di ox ide Sen sor

For installations requiring Demand Control Ventilation
(DCV) based upon indoor air levels of carbon dioxide
(CO

2

). When the unit supply fan is running, the CO

2

 sensor

modulates the outside air damper to maintain a
user-selected CO

2

 level inside the occupied space.

Energy savings are achieved by not bringing in excessive
amounts of outdoor air when the indoor air conditions are
suitable. Energy savings can be substantial on buildings
with highly variable occupancy rates.

Power Exhaust Kit

For installations requiring more space static pressure relief 
than can be obtained with the standard barometric relief
damper included with the economizer, a power exhaust kit
can be added.

STARTUP

Attach connector from Economizer Controller to Rooftop
Control Panel Connector and install discharge/mixed air
temperature sensor per installation guide.

EXH Set — Adjustments for (optional) power ex haust
A. The outside air damper position at which the

power exhaust fan(s) will engage. The LED

labeled EXH below the potentiometer adjustment

will indicate when power exhaust is available.

When the power exhaust call is made, the

controller provides a 60 ±30 second delay before

exhaust fan activation to allow the damper to

reach the appropriate position.

B. Range of adjustment is from 0-100% (2-10V); in

most applications the power exhaust is set to

engage at about 70% outside air.

B. Range of adjustment is from 0-100% (2-10V); in

most applications the minimum position is

adjusted to allow 10% to 25% outside air to enter

the system.

C. The Outside Air Damper Minimum Position

potentiometer can be adjusted at any time.

D. Whenever the "G" (supply fan) signal is present,

the damper will open to this minimum position

unless:
a.

It may modulate to a greater position if

overridden by the CO

2

 sensor (DCV).

b.

It may not open if overridden by the discharge

air temperature sensor (Freeze Protect

Mode).

3.

DCV Max — Demand Control Ventilation (DCV)

Maximum Setpoint
A. The DCV maximum position potentiometer allows

the installer to limit the amount of outdoor air flow

into the building when the DCV overrides the

mixed air sensor.

B. Setting the DCV maximum position of the damper

prevents the introduction of large amounts of hot

or cold air into the space.

C. Note: If the DCV maximum position is set below

the outside air damper minimum position, the

minimum position overrides the DCV maximum

position (negating the function of the DCV).

4.

DCV Set — Demand Control Ventilation (DCV)

Setpoint
A. The DCV can be any sensor that provides a

2-10Vdc output. The DCV modulates the outdoor

d a m p e r   t o   p r o v i d e   ve n t i l a t io n   b a s e d   o n

occupancy. Typically, a carbon dioxide (CO

2

)

sensor is used to indirectly monitor occupancy

level.

B. No cooling signal (e.g.Y1, Y2) is required for the

DCV to override the outdoor air damper when

ventilation requires outdoor air.

C. The controller must receive a "G" (supply fan)

signal to open the damper. 

D. Range of adjustment is from 2 Volts to 10 Volts.
E. The DCV setpoint can be adjusted at any time.
