Description
ECON-S economizers are designed to be used with the wall mount series air
conditioners and heat pumps, shown in Table 1, equipped with low ambient
controls. They are electromechanical economizer systems designed to provide
“free” cooling where the outdoor air temperature/enthalpy is cool enough to
provide the needed cooling without running the compressor, or in addition to
the compressor. When cooling is required, the system automatically takes
advantage of cold outdoor air when available and uses it for first-stage
cooling. This then reduces the need to run the air conditioning compressor
providing lower operating costs and increasing the service life of the
equipment. If the outdoor air temperature/enthalpy is too warm to be
sufficient for cooling, the dry bulb outdoor air temperature sensor detects
the condition and automatically closes the outdoor air intake/exhaust damper,
opens the return air damper, and switches to compressor-only operation.
Without attention from the end user, the economizer assembly is meant to
automatically achieve maximum savings while ensuring appropriately cool space
temperatures. The economizer utilizes a fully modulating damper actuator,
which will control intake/ exhaust in order to obtain and maintain a factory-
set minimum supply air temperature. As a secondary feature, the economizer
assembly can be programmed for minimum ventilation based on an “occupied” (or
otherwise dedicated) 24V signal to satisfy fresh air ventilation on populated
structures or dilution of internal pollutants.
ECON-S Series economizers are not for use with variable capacity ECU models.

CAUTION
- Cut hazard.
- Wear gloves to avoid contact with sharp edges.
- Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
Preparing Unit for Economizer Installation
- Disconnect power to the unit.
- Unpack the economizer assembly, which includes the integral economizer with an attached electrical harness, mixed air sensor, body panels, miscellaneous hardware, and installation instructions.
- From the existing wall mount unit, remove and save (or discard) as directed (see Figure 1):
- Blower access panel and screws (save)
- Ventilation access panel (discard)
- Filter access panel (save)
- Filter (save)
- Outer and inner control panel doors and screws (save)
- Remove and discard the exhaust cover plate (save screws).
- Install a new condenser exhaust plate with a screen over opening into the condenser section (see Figure 2).
- Verify what type of filter racks are in the unit. The unit may include either a filter partition and tray assembly or two separate filter brackets. If the unit contains a partition and tray assembly, this may be left as-is for the ventilator installation. If the unit contains two separate filter brackets, remove the filter brackets (see Figure 3). The circuit breaker offset plate must be loosened and moved slightly to gain access to several of the screws holding the filter brackets in place. Tighten the screws holding the control panel after the filter brackets have been removed. Install filter bracket fill plate as shown in Figure 4 on page 6. Install the provided filter brackets on the economizer.
Outdoor Air Sensor Installation
- Remove and save both side grilles and screws.
- Install the outdoor enthalpy sensor in the lower condenser section on the side opposite the control panel with two (2) screws provided as shown in Figure 6.
- Route the wire harness across the back of the unit and secure it with two wire ties (provided). Push the harness up through the grommet at the bottom of the control panel (see Figure 7). Secure with wire ties (provided) to the other wires in the grommet. Ensure the wire harness cannot contact moving parts or copper tubing. Replace side grilles.
Economizer Installation
- Remove (and discard) left and right filter brackets from the economizer assembly if the existing wall mount unit brackets are in place. For units with filter partition assembly, install the return fill plate as shown in Figure 5 on page 7.
- Insert the economizer into the opening in the wall unit, being careful not to tear unit insulation. To clear the blowers, position the economizer at a 45° angle under the blowers. Fully seat economizer assembly to the rear of the wall unit cavity. Slide the economizer towards the control panel and line up with the return air opening in the back of the wall unit.
- Insert the 12-pin plug into the front of the control panel. See Figures 7 and 8.
- Route the two orange wires along refrigerant lines behind the filter bracket (if applicable) to terminate at the blower partition (see Figure 8).
- Install the mixed air temperature sensor and bracket in the blower partition (see Figure 8 Top View) using the two existing holes. (Holes are on opposite sides on left-hand units). If necessary, remove the shield to aid in mounting the sensor (replace it after mounting the sensor). Insert a white, two-pin sensor plug into the sensor housing. Coil excess orange wires and wire tie to the suction/discharge line.
- Run black and red wire from economizer’s upper 12-pin wiring harness through a grommet and another bushing into the control panel and connect to the black and red wire sensor wires (see Figure 7). Wrap and wire tie the excess wire.
- Remove the Y1-Y2 jumper from the low-voltage terminal strip (this jumper is already removed in units with factory-installed economizers). If a Balanced Climate is desired, the secondary jumper must be removed from the vent harness by disconnecting the purple and yellow/white jumper in the vent harness.
Economizer Checkout
- Complete economizer checkout using the economizer control touchpad (see CHECKOUT on page 17).
- After confirming the economizer operation, install the mist eliminator (as shown in Figure 9 with the airflow arrow pointing towards the unit) and blower, filter, and vent access panels.

Enthalpy Settings
If the economizer is enthalpy-based and was shipped with the temp/humidity
sensor, the economizer must be programmed for the specific enthalpy curve
boundary desired for “free” outdoor cooling. The available enthalpy boundaries
are all subject to specific OA temperature, OA humidity, and OA dew points. If
all of the OA conditions are below the specific points outlined in each
boundary, the conditions are good to economize and the economizer mode is set
to “YES”. If some or all the OA conditions are above the specific points
outlined in each boundary, the conditions are not good to economize and the
economizer mode is set to “NO”. ES3 is factory default.
Economizer Sequence of Operation Condition – Cool/Dry OA Conditions
- 1* Stage Cooling closes and sends a signal to JADE™ control. Since the air temperature outside is cooler than the preset DRYBULB SET setting, or is below the ENTH CURVE boundary in the SETPOINTS menu, the actuator will power the economizer damper to “economizer” mode as the indoor blower motor starts. The mixed air sensor senses a mixture of return air and cool outdoor air and modulates the opening to achieve preset MAT SET setting in SETPOINTS menu. Compressor operation is inhibited (see Figure 15).
- 2″ Stage Cooling closes and sends a signal to JADE™ control, which closes the Y1-0 relay to begin mechanical cooling. The economizer damper REMAINS OPEN in tandem operation with the compressor as long as the OA conditions do not drop below the preset DRYBULB SET/ENTH CURVE settings in the SETPOINTS menu (see Figure 16).
- 3″ Stage Cooling (if available) closes and sends a signal to JADE™ control, which closes the Y2-0 relay to begin 2* stage mechanical cooling. The economizer damper REMAINS OPEN in tandem operation with the compressor as long as the temperature outside does not drop below the preset DRYBULB SET setting in the SETPOINTS menu (see Figure 16).
Condition – Warm/Humid OA Conditions
- 1* Stage Cooling closes and sends a signal to JADE™ control. Since the 0A conditions are abovethe preset DRYBULB SET/ENTH CURVE setting in the SETPOINTS menu, the control will simply close the Y1-0 relay to initiate mechanical cooling. The economizer damper will remain closed or in a minimum ventilation setting depending upon occupied status (see Figure 17).
- 2° Stage Cooling (if available) closes and sends a signal to JADE™ control. Since the 0A conditions are still above than the preset DRYBULB SET/ ENTH CURVE setting in the SETPQINTS menu, the control will simply close the Y2-0 relay to initiate 2″ stage mechanical cooling. The economizer damper will remain closed or in a minimum ventilation setting depending upon occupied status (see Figure 17).
Economizer Operation for Single Stage:
Balanced Climate Mode – S, Y, and Z Option Economizer Sequence of
Operation
Balanced Climate can be used for duct-free and ducted applications below 0.2″
W.C. ESP total static.
Call for cooling and ECONOMIZER IS NOT AVAILABLE (due to outdoor
conditions):
Y1 energizes mechanical cooling and the Balanced Climate fan speed
simultaneously. If the outdoor conditions are not acceptable, the Y2 terminal
will energize the fan speed to the rated airflow. When the temperature drops
below the Y2 setpoint, the unit will return to the Balanced Climate fan speed.
When the cooling call is satisfied, the compressor will shut down the
economizer will move to a minimum position (ventilation setting) and the fan
will continue to run at RATED airflow if A is energized on the low voltage
terminal strip.
Call for cooling and ECONOMIZER IS AVAILABLE (due to outdoor conditions):
Two stage cooling thermostat is required and the connector is disconnected
at JADE™ controller to enable Balanced Climate mode (see wiring diagram 4056-
250* on page 28).
The unit has a call for ventilation: Damper to Min position and fan will
run at RATED airflow. (When using Balanced Climate mode, increase the minimum
position blade setting to allow 28% more outdoor air CFM than rated.) Y1
energizes the economizer and the Balance Climate fan speed simultaneously. If
the temperature continues to rise, the Y2 terminal will increase the fan speed
to the RATED airflow. When the temperature drops below the Y2 setpoint, the
unit will return to the Balanced Climate fan speed. When the cooling call is
satisfied, the compressor will shut down the economizer will move to a minimum
position (ventilation setting) and the fan will increase to run at RATED
airflow if A is energized on the low voltage terminal strip.
