WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, person­al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed by a licensed professional HVAC in­staller or equivalent, service agency, or the gas sup­plier.

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.

Application

The economizer is used with LG/LC/LH/LD units in downflow and horizontal air discharge applications. For horizontal air applications, use the separately shipped GEDH kit. See table 1. See table 2 for the optional gravity exhaust kit. The economizer uses outdoor air for free cooling when temperature and/or humidity is suitable. LG/LC/LH/LD units are equipped with the following factory-installed, CEC Title 24 approved sensors:

  • RT17 – Outside Air Temperature
  • Return Air Temperature
  • RT6 – Discharge Air Temperature

Optional field provided sensors may be used instead of unit sensors to determine whether outdoor air is suitable for free cooling.

Econ Type Part No.
High Performance 20H48

WARNING

To prevent serious injury or death:

  1. Lock-out/tag-out before performing maintenance.
  2. If system power is required (e.g., smoke detector mainte­nance, disable power to blower, remove fan belt where applicable, and ensure all controllers and thermostats are set to the OFF position before performing maintenance.
  3. Always keep hands, hair, clothing, jewelry, tools, etc., away from moving parts.

Free Cooling Setpoint ODE STPT

The enthalpy sensor A7 provides a milliamp signal to the Unit Controller based on outdoor air temperature and humidity. 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.

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 6. 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°E outdoor air.
