3.

Call for Second Stage of Cooling (Y2)
A. Economizer Unavailable (warm outdoor air).

Compressor 2 is commanded on without delay.

B. Economizer Available (free cooling). Compressor

1 is commanded on without delay. The controller

tries to maintain a discharge air temperature of

53ºF ± 5 by modulating the outside air damper

position. Compressor 2 is not activated in the

economizer mode.

4.

Call for Heat
A. Standard Air Conditioner with electric or gas heat.

(W1 & W2)
a.

The Thermostat controls the stages of heating 

directly.

b.

If the control detects that the supply fan is on

(through its "G" input), then the control will

open the damper to minimum position.

c.

If the discharge air temperature drops below

48ºF, then the control will override the

minimum position setting and will modulate

the outdoor damper closed.

B. Heat Pump Operation (B)

a.

The "B" signal from the Thermostat allows

operation of the compressors to provide

heating without delay.

b

If the control detects that the supply fan is on

(through its "G" input), then the control can

open the damper to minimum position.

c.

If the discharge air temperature drops below

48ºF, then the control will override the

minimum position setting and will modulate

the outdoor damper closed.

5.

Low Ambient Compressor Lockout – None present.

6

F. The controller compares the CO

2

 sensor input to

the setpoint setting to determine the damper

minimum position.
a.

If the actual CO

2

 level is below the setpoint,

then the damper minimum position is

determined by the damper minimum position

potentiometer setting.

b.

If the actual CO

2

 level rises above the

setpoint, then the damper minimum position is 

overridden proportionally more open.

c.

If the discharge air temperature drops below

48°F (Freeze Protect Mode), the DCV input

will be overridden and the damper may not

open.

G. Compatible CO

2

 sensors will have a 2-10Vdc

output for a 0-1500 ppm CO

2

 input.

H. Ensure proper polarity of the sensor wires when

connecting to the economizer controller. Incorrect

polarity negates the sensor signal.

5.

Economizer Setpoint
A. Only the coolest, driest outside air is used for

economizer operation when the potentiometer is

on setting "D". For greatest energy savings, the

potentiometer is on setting "A".

B. Adjustment range is A, B, C, or D

a.

Setting "A" = 73F db or 27 Btu/lbm @ 50% RH

b.

Setting "B" = 70F db or 25 Btu/lbm @ 50% RH

c.

Setting "C" = 67F db or 23 Btu/lbm @ 50% RH

d.

Setting "D" = 63F db or 22 Btu/lbm @ 50% RH

C. Economizer Setpoint potentiometer can be

adjusted at any time.

D. The controller compares the enthalpy sensor input 

with the economizer setpoint to determine if free

cooling is available.
a.

Single enthalpy strategy: If outdoor air

enthalpy is lower than the setpoint, then free

c o o l i n g   i s   a v a i l a b l e .  N o t e :   T h e

factory-installed 620-ohm resistor must be in

place across terminals SR and SR+.

b.

Dual enthalpy strategy: If outdoor air enthalpy

is lower than return air enthalpy, then free

cooling is available.

1.

Note: If using dual enthalpy, the Economizer

Setpoint must be at the "D" setting.

2.

The factory-installed 620-ohm jumper must

be removed to install the dual enthalpy

upgrade kit.

NOR MAL  OP ER A TION

1.

Fan Only (G)
A. Damper will go to minimum position (in 90

seconds or less) whenever the "G" (supply fan)

signal is present.

B. When "G" signal is removed, the outside air

damper closes against blade seals for tight shutoff 

of outside air.

C. If the discharge air temperature drops below 48ºF, 

then the control will override the minimum position

setting and will modulate the outside air damper

closed.

2.

Call for First Stage of Cooling (Y1)
A. Economizer Unavailable (warm outdoor air).

Compressor 1 is commanded on without delay.

B. Economizer Available (free cooling). The

controller tries to maintain a discharge air

temperature of 53ºF ± 5 by modulating the outside

air damper position.
