Economizer Operation

NOTE – Use indicating lights on Unit Controller to determine thermostat demand.
See TABLE 2 for economizer operation with a standard two-stage thermostat
TABLE 3 shows economizer operation with an energy management system which uses a global sensor.
Both tables show the occupied and unoccupied time period. The occupied time period is determined by the thermostat or energy management system.

TABLE 4 shows economizer operation in zone sensor mode.

IAQ DAMPER OPERATION
The Unit Controller has a 0-10VDC IAQ input for a standard 0-2000ppm CO2 sensor. The economizer starts opening at a CO2 level of 500 ppm (default) and reaches full open at a CO2 level of 1000ppm. These levels are adjustable as outlined in the Unit Controller manual under the menu Settings>Setpoints>IAQ.

If the economizer is operating in the free cooling mode and the IAQ sensor demands more fresh air, the IAQ demand will override the free cooling demand to open the dampers further or to keep them open. A flashing OAS LED on the Unit Controller indicates an IAQ override condition.
The IAQ function is not energized during the unoccupied or night time period.

• DELETE A7 AND A62 (IF USED) FOR EITHER GLOBAL ENTHALPY OR SENSIBLE TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Damper will modulate to maintain 55°F supply air when ECTO 6.27 (Unit Controller M2, version 1.0) or parameter 164 (Unit Controller M3, version 2.0) is changed to setting “0”.

NOTE – Modulating dampers adjust to control supply air (RT6) to 55°F (13°C).

Free Cooling Differential Enthalpy – DIFF OFFSET
The Unit Controller allows damper modulation when outdoor air is lower than return air by a differential or offset temperature and humidity range. To set an offset range of 7°F at a constant relative humidity, enter “4” at the DIFF OFFSET menu prompt. If return air is 76°F, the Unit Controller will allow damper to modulate open at approximately 69°F outdoor air. See TABLE 5. If the space temperature is too cool or dry, change the DIFF OFFSET to “3” and the Unit Controller will allow dampers to modulate open at approximately 71°F outdoor air.

E-Damper Minimum Position Setting
Use the menu path in FIGURE 12 to set the minimum % open damper position when outdoor air is not suitable for free cooling. The minimum setpoint range is 0% open (dampers closed) to 100% (dampers fully open). On units with staged supply air blowers, refer to the unit installation instructions.

Economizer Start-Up – M4 Unit Controller

The unit will be equipped with either an M2, M3, or M4 Unit Controller. M2, M3, or M4 will be printed on the bottom of the Unit Controller near the SBUS connector. Use the appropriate start-up section in this manual and refer to the Unit Controller provided with the rooftop unit. Application manuals are available for all Unit Controllers.
The economizer is controlled by the Unit Controller which is located on the unit control panel. A detailed menu layout can be found in the Unit Controller manual provided with each unit.

A-Field-Installed Economizer
The Unit Controller must be set to identify an economizer has been installed. The configuration ID will also identify which sensor inputs the Unit Controller will use to determine the free cooling mode. See FIGURE 13 for sensor location.

1. Use the Unit Controller mobile application to enter the following menu:
   RTU MENU > SETUP INSTALL

2. Navigate through various setup questions until CON-FIGURATION ID 1 appears. Change the second character in the configuration ID to identify the type of input used to determine economizer-free cooling setpoint. See TABLE 9.

3. Continue through the setup until complete.

NOTE – Refer to the Setup Guide provided with the unit for Unit Controller details.

B-Adjust Free Cooling Discharge Air Setpoint
When outdoor air is suitable for free cooling, dampers will modulate to maintain a discharge air temperature of 55ºF default (adjustable range 45º- 67ºF). Refer to RT6 discharge air sensor location shown in FIGURE 13.

C-Free Cooling Modes
The Unit Controller automatically sets the free cooling mode when the configuration ID is entered. The temperature setpoint mode is the only exception.

1. Use the following menu path in the mobile application to enter the temperature setpoint mode.
   RTU MENU > SETTINGS RTU OPTIONS > DAMPER > ECONOMIZER TEMP ECON TYPE = TEMPERATURE OFFSET (default)

2. Use the -/+ buttons to select TEMPERATURE OFF-SET/SETPOINT.

3. Continue through the setup.

NOTE – Network OAS signal and California Title 24 Compliance options use either TEMPERATURE OFFSET or TEMPERATURE SETPT mode.

D-Adjust Outdoor Air Free Cooling Setpoint

NOTE – Configuration ID 1 must be set to the appropriate mode before adjusting the free cooling setpoint. See TA-BLE 9.

Temperature Offset or Temperature Setpoint Mode

1. After the free cooling mode is saved, press NEXT. If default setpoint value needs to change, enter the new number and press NEXT.

2. For California Title 24 compliance, adjust the free cooling setpoint based on:

   • The climate zone where the unit is installed. See TABLE 3.
   • The setpoint requirement published by the California Energy Commission. See Section 140.4 – Prescriptive Requirements for Space Conditioning Systems of the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
     NOTE – Values in the referenced standard will supersede values listed in TABLE 3.

3. When a network OAS signal is provided by a building control system, refer to control system literature to adjust free cooling setpoint.

Enthalpy Setpoint
The enthalpy sensor (A7) provides a milliamp signal to the Unit Controller based on outdoor air temperature and humidity. Use the following menu to change the setpoint:
RTU MENU > SETTINGS RTU OPTIONS > DAMPER > ECONOMIZER ENTHALPY SETPOINT = 12.0 MA Refer to TABLE 16. At 12.0mA, the Unit Controller will allow dampers to modulate open at approximately 73°F. If the space temperature is too warm or humid, change the ECONOMIZER ENTHALPY SETPOINT to “13.6MA” and the Unit Controller will allow dampers to modulate open at approximately 70°F.

Enthalpy Offset
The Unit Controller allows damper modulation when outdoor air is lower than return air by a differential or offset temperature and humidity range. Use the following menu to change the setpoint:
RTU MENU > SETTINGS RTU OPTIONS > DAMPER > ECONOMIZER ENTHALPY OFFSET = 1.0 MA

Refer to TABLE 5. At 1.0mA, the Unit Controller will allow dampers to modulate open when outdoor air is lower than return air by approximately a 2°F offset. If return air is 76°F, the Unit Controller will allow dampers to modulate open at approximately 74°F. If the space temperature is to warm or humid, change the ECONOMIZER ENTHALPY SETPOINT to 2.0mA or an offset of 3.5°F. The Unit Controller will allow dampers to modulate open at approximately 72.5°F.

E-Damper Minimum Position Setting
Use the menu path in TABLE 6 to set the MIN DAMPER POSITION BLOWER ON HIGH when outdoor air is not suitable for free cooling. The minimum setpoint range is 0% open (dampers closed) to 100% (dampers fully open). On units with staged supply air blowers, also set the MIN DAMPER POSITION BLOWER ON LOW.

Enthalpy includes effects of both temperature and humidity.

Economizer Start-Up 2.0 M3 Unit Controller

The economizer, when configured, controls:

• Damper position, which determines how much outdoor air is used to meet free cooling or indoor air quality requirements, and
• Optional power exhaust fans.

On a cooling demand, outdoor air is used for free cooling instead of first- stage compressor(s) when outdoor air is suitable.

Enabling Economizer and Settings
To enable the economizer, if installed, go to SETUP > INSTALL and go through the wizard. When reaching Configuration ID 1, position 2 will need to be set to the applicable type of economizer. Valid types are as indicated below:

• M = Motorized Outdoor Air Damper Only
• T = Economizer – Temperature (Note: Used for both set point and offset temperature control.)
• G = Economizer – Global
• S = Economizer – Single Enthalpy
• D = Economizer – Dual Enthalpy

The following options are available depending on economizer setting above. These settings are available through the main menu at SETUP > TEST & BALANCE > DAMPER.

Damper Operation During Free Cooling
These are operating profile options for the economizer damper (Parameter 164 – ECONOMIZER PROFILE) during free cooling when any compressor is on and can be selected as follows:

Option 0: Damper continues to modulate while compressors are on, but the effect of mechanical cooling may force the damper closed to its minimum position. After compressor starts, the free cooling set point is lowered to fixed temperature setting of 45°F.

Option 1: Damper opens to its maxopen position (Parameter 131 – FREE CL MAX DAMPER) when any of the compressors start.

NOTE – When using Option 1 and after the compressor is stopped, the M3 shall resume damper modulation.

Option 2: Is as follows:

• Holds-off compressor on Y2 call until damper has modulated to maximum position (Parameter 131 – FREE CL MAX DAMPER) for three minutes.
• After three minutes, the compressor starts and the free cooling set point is lowered to 45°F. Damper is not locked at maximum open while compressor is on, but modulates to maintain 45°F discharge air temperature.
• When Y2 is satisfied, compressor goes off and free cooling set point is restored to 55°F (Parameter 159 – FREE COOL SUPPLY SP).

Option 3: Same as Option 2, but with a ten-minute delay instead of a three-minute delay.

FreeCooling Compressor Lockout Mode and Low Ambient Set Point

Go to SETTINGS > RTU OPTION > EDIT PARAMETER = 285 (FRCL COMP LCKOUT MD).

Default value is 2. Range is 0 to 2.

• 0 = Disable Compressor Lockout
• 1 = Lockout Compressor if outdoor air is suitable regardless of outdoor air temperature.
• 2 = Lockout Compressor if outdoor air temperature is below Parameter 108 setting and Outdoor Air is Suitable (Default).

Go to SETTINGS > RTU OPTION > EDIT PARAMETER = 108 (FREE LO AMB LCKT SP).
Default value is 55.0°F. Range is 45.0 to 80.0°F.

Outdoor Air Suitable for Free Cooling
The M3 Unit Controller displays the outdoor air suitability information on the status screen.
The appropriate sensors are provided when the economizer is factory- configured. When the economizer is field-installed and configured, the single or dual enthalpy modes require additional field-provided sensor(s).

Enthalpy Set Point
This setting pertains to the single enthalpy free cooling mode only. The M3 Unit Controller will enable free cooling when outdoor air enthalpy (A7) is less than the enthalpy set point (Parameter 162 – ECON FREECL ENTH SP). FIGURE 8 shows the approximate enthalpy sensor output at various temperatures and percentage of relative humidity.

For normal operation, make sure the motorized outdoor air damper is set correctly in Configuration ID 1, position 2 needs to be set to M. The damper will open to the specified position during the occupied time period and close during the unoccupied time period.

NOTE – When equipped with Motorized Outdoor damper Air Damper, Prodigy 2.0 provides only Demand Control Ventilation. Free Cooling/Economizer function is not available.

Economizer Checkout
The following checkout procedures are completed with unit energized. Step 1 will determine whether the economizer is allowing full damper travel. Use step 2 when the damper does not respond to step 1.
Steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 checkout the operating modes; checkout only the mode that applies to the unit being worked on.

CAUTION
As with any mechanical equipment, contact with sharp sheet metal edges can result in personal injury. Take care while handling this equipment and wear gloves and protective clothing.

Step 1. ECONOMIZER OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The M3 Unit Controller monitors P262 (DPOS) and operates as reference in Section Damper Diagnostics in the Prodigy 2.0 (M3 Unit Controller) Application Guide (Advance Features).

• Go to SERVICE > TEST > DAMPER>POSITION > DAMPER POSITION ACTUAL: 0.0% The motor will slowly modulate to the closed position.
• Change DAMPER POSITION ACTUAL to 100.0%.The motor will slowly modulate to the fully opened position.
• If the motor does not respond, go to step 2. If the motor does respond properly, go to the appropriate mode of operation checkout.

Step 2. OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHECK

• Go to SERVICE > TEST > DAMPER > POSITION > DAMPER POSITION ACTUAL: 0.0%

• Adjust the DAMPER POSITION ACTUAL: to 0.0% position.

• Measure the voltage on P262 between pin 3 (VOT damper control) and pin 2 (GND) using pin 1 as common. Voltage should read approximately 2 VDC.

• Adjust the DAMPER POSITION ACTUAL: to 100.0% position.
  NOTE – Allow approximately 90 seconds for actuator to react.

• Measure the voltage between P262 between pin 3 (VOT damper control) and pin 2 (GND) using pin 1 as common. Voltage should read approximately 10 volts DC. If not, check wiring and trouble shoot system.

Step 3. SINGLE ENTHALPY OPERATION (ODE)
In the single enthalpy mode, dampers open for free cooling when the outdoor enthalpy is less than the enthalpy set point (Parameter 162 – ECON FREECL ENTH SP); dampers will try to modulate discharge air temperature (RT6) to (Parameter 159 – FREE COOL SUPPLY SP) which has a default setting of 55.0°F (13°C).

• Go to SETUP > INSTALL > press SAVE until you get to the Configuration ID 1, position 2 needs to be set to S for Economizer Single Enthalpy and press SAVE.
• To simulate low outdoor enthalpy. Disconnect A7 outdoor enthalpy sensor jack/plugs J/P104. Connect a 750 ohm resistor across plug J104-1 and J104-2. J104 is located in the filter access area.
• Check all connections and wiring between J104 and the control.

Step 4. DUAL ENTHALPY MODE OF OPERATION
In dual enthalpy mode, dampers open for free cooling when the outdoor air enthalpy is lower than the return air enthalpy by difference value of (Parameter 163 – ECN FRCL ENTH OFFST); dampers will modulate discharge air temperature (RT6) to (Parameter 159 – FREE COOL SUPPLY SP) which has a default setting of 55.0°F (13°C).

• Go to SETUP > INSTALL > press SAVE until you get to the Configuration ID 1 position 2 needs to be set to D for Economizer Dual Enthalpy and press SAVE if performing an economizer field-install.
• Use two resistors to simulate outdoor air enthalpy suitable.
  • Disconnect A62 return air enthalpy sensor jack/plug J/P105. Place a 1500 ohm resistor between J105-1 and J105-3. J/P105 is located in the filter access area.
  • Disconnect A7 outdoor enthalpy sensor jack/plugs J/P104. Connect a 750 ohm resistor across J104-1 and J104-2.

Step 5. ALL TEMPERATURE MODES OF OPERATION
In the Economizer – Temperature mode, the damper opens for free cooling when the outdoor air temperature is:

• Less than return air temperature by at least a difference of (Parameter 161 – ECON FRCL TMP OFFST) if Temperature Offset mode is selected

• Less than (Parameter 160 – ECON FREECL TEMP SP)
  In all modes, dampers will try to modulate discharge air temperature (RT6) to (Parameter 159 – FREE COOL SUPPLY SP) which has a default setting of 55.0°F (13°C).
  Refer to the “Displaying Sensor Inputs” section to read return air (RT16) and outdoor air (RT17) temperatures. If outdoor air is not cooler than return air, simulate a colder outdoor air temperature with a resistor. Select a resistor value that corresponds to a temperature (see TABLE 13):

• Locate RT17 sensor in unit. Disconnect 1/4″ quick connect terminals on wires leading from sensor.

• Jumper RT17 wires leading back to control with the appropriate resistor.

• Check all connections and wiring between RT17 and the M3 Unit Controller, and between RT16 and the M3 Unit Controller.

Step 6. GLOBAL MODULATING (GLO) MODE OF OPERATION
In the GLO (modulating) mode, dampers modulate open for free cooling when the global input is energized; dampers will try to modulate discharge air temperature (RT6) to (Parameter 159 – FREE COOL SUPPLY SP) which has a default setting of 55.0°F (13°C).

NOTE – The global input turns on the blower.

• Set global mode using the Configuration ID 1, position 2, and set to character G.

• Connect a jumper between A55_P297-1 (24VAC) and A55_P297-9 (global). The blower will be energized and the damper will slowly open if discharge air temperature (RT6) is greater than (Parameter 159 – FREE COOL SUPPLY SP) which has a default setting of 55.0°F (13°C).
• Disconnect 24VAC to A55_P297-9. The blower will turn off and the damper will close.
• If the damper does not actuate check all connections and wiring between P262A and B.

Step 7. ENTHALPY SENSOR OPERATION (A7 and A62)

• Connect a direct current ammeter as shown in FIGURE 9 to measure current output of A7 or A62.
  NOTE – If Enthalpy Sensors are configured, current sensor reading by M3 controller can be verified on User interface:

• The reading will be between 4 and 20 ma. depending on outdoor temperature and humidity. Refer to FIGURE 8 to approximate reading.
  Go to DATA > IN/OUTPUTS > SENSORS > LOCAL (scroll down to IE: x.x mA and OE: x.x mA)

• If the meter reads zero, check sensor wiring harness for continuity and/or check polarity of sensor wiring.

Demand Control Ventilation

General
A field-provided and installed indoor air quality (IAQ) sensor can be used with the modulating economizer or OADM to control carbon dioxide levels in the conditioned space. The carbon dioxide level in a space is an indicator of the number of people occupying a room. As the carbon dioxide level rises (indicating the occupancy of a room has increased), dampers modulate open – regardless of outdoor air suitability. Likewise, as the carbon dioxide level falls (indicating the occupancy has decreased), dampers modulate further closed.

Standard economizer installations have a minimum fresh air ventilation requirement based on maximum room occupancy. With standard economizer use, the amount of air required for maximum room occupancy is heated or cooled with each heating or cooling cycle. IAQ installations use the maximum amount of required ventilation air only with maximum room occupancy; less outdoor air needs to be heated or cooled when fewer people are in the conditioned space.
If the economizer is operating in the free cooling mode and the indoor air quality control requires the damper to open further, the indoor air quality demand will override the free cooling demand.
The IAQ function is not energized during the unoccupied or night time period.

NOTE – The IAQ sensor may also be used with systems containing a motorized outdoor air damper.

Default Operation
The M3 Unit Controller has a 0-10VDC indoor air quality input for a standard 0 – 2000ppm carbon dioxide sensor. The economizer starts opening at a carbon dioxide level of 500 ppm (default) (start open set point) and reaches full open at a carbon dioxide level of 1000ppm (default) (full open set point).
The damper opens to a default position of 100% (see Parameter 117). Determine damper travel position using the following formula.

• % Damper Travel =

Example: At a carbon dioxide level of 750ppm, the damper will be approximately 50% open:
% Damper Travel =

Use the menu interface to read carbon dioxide ppm. DATA > IN/OUTPUTS > SENSORS

C02. FIGURE 10 shows default or proportional operation.

Maximum and Minimum Demand Control Ventilation Damper Settings

Maximum position is set using the following menu path:

• Go to SETUP > TEST & BALANCE > DAMPER > DAMPER MAX OPENING = .%
• Use the following menu path to modify the minimum damper positions for both high and low blower operations.
• Go to SETUP > TEST & BALANCE > DAMPER > MIN DAMPER POSITION BLOWER ON HIGH = .%
• Go to SETUP > TEST & BALANCE > DAMPER > MIN DAMPER POSITION BLOWER ON LOW = .%

Parameter Adjustments
Default indoor air quality economizer operation is based on common or average applications. Adjustments may be made to the indoor air quality parameters to alter operation or meet required specifications. Use the user interface to change Parameter 117 through 119. Go to SETTINGS > RTU OPTIONS > EDIT PARAMETER

Select a demand control ventilation mode with Parameter 134. Modes 3 and 4 will bring on the unit blower when demand control ventilation calls for maximum damper open, and returns to auto-blower when demand control ventilation damper returns to 0. The other modes only operate when the unit blower is on, but will not bring it on themselves.
Some applications require a different carbon dioxide set point range than default settings. Damper “start open” (Parameter 118 and “full open” (Parameter 119) carbon dioxide set points may be adjusted from 0 to 2000 ppm. Use the following formula to determine damper travel.

NOTE – When changing carbon dioxide set point range, “start open” set point should be less than “full open” set point.

Example: An application requires the dampers open at 800 CO2 ppm and reach full open at 1200. If the carbon dioxide level in the space reads 1000 ppm, calculate the damper percent open as follows.

Set Point Control Option

Set point control mode is commonly used in areas with high occupancy and frequent change out such as classrooms or conference rooms.
In applications requiring this on/off damper response to carbon dioxide levels, set the start open (Parameter 118 – DCV DAMP START OPEN) set point higher than the full open (Parameter 119 – DCV DAMP FULL OPEN) set point. The dampers will drive to fully-open position immediately. FIGURE 11 shows the set point control option.
Change Parameters 122 and 123 to set the minimum outdoor temperature limits. Change Parameters 120 and 121 to set the maximum temperature limits.

IMPORTANT
Mixed air temperatures less than 45°F (7°C) on units with an aluminized heat exchanger or less than 30°F (-1°C) on stainless steel heat exchangers will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Determining Indoor Air Quality Inputs
Go to DATA> IN/OUTPUTS > SENSORS menu selection from the M3 Unit Controller menu display.

Economizer Start-Up – M2 Unit Controller

The economizer is controlled by the Unit Controller which is located in the unit control panel. A detailed menu layout can be found in the Unit Controller manual provided with each unit.

Field-Installed Economizer
The Unit Controller must be set to identify an economizer has been installed.

1. Use the Unit Controller keypad to enter the following menu:
   Setting / Install / Damper

2. Use the up/down arrows to display ECON and press the SELECT button (!SET! will display).

3. Press the left arrow returning up the menu path until the Unit Controller resets and saves the change.
   The Unit Controller will now operate the economizer.

Free Cooling Mode and Setpoint
On start-up, the economizer mode defaults to TEMP OFFSET. In this mode, free cooling is energized when the outdoor air temperature (RT17) is less than return air temperature (RT16) by at least the offset value. The default offset value is 10°F. Use the following menu path on the Unit Controller to adjust the free cooling mode or setpoint. See FIGURE 13 for sensor location.

Settings / Setpoints / Damper / Economizer Mode
Refer to TABLE 15 and FIGURE 12 for additional free cooling modes and setpoints. The Unit Controller has a restricted range of input values for each mode as shown in TABLE 15.

NOTE – An energy management system may be used to provide the outdoor air suitable (OAS) signal via network connection. The free cooling mode must be set to one of the TEMP modes to allow this function.

California Title 24 Compliance
For California Title 24 compliance, adjust the free cooling setpoint based on:

• The climate zone where the unit is installed. See TABLE 16.
• The setpoint requirement published by the California Energy Commission. See Section 140.4 – Prescriptive Requirements for Space Conditioning Systems of the 2013 Building Energy Efficiency Standards.

NOTE – Values in the referenced standard will supersede values listed in TABLE 16.

Approximate temperature at 50% relative humidity.

Free Cooling Setpoint – ODE STPT
The enthalpy sensor (A7) provides a milliamp signal to the Unit Controller based on outdoor air temperature and humidity. See TABLE 17. To set a free cooling setpoint of 73°F at 50% relative humidity, enter “12” at the ODE STPT menu prompt. The Unit Controller will allow dampers to modulate open at approximately 73°F. If the space temperature is too warm, change the ODE STPT to “13.6” and the Unit Controller will allow dampers to modulate open at approximately 70°F.
