ET.MX (T24TSTMX) – "T24 Test Maximum Pos" – maximum
position above which tests for a mechanically disconnected
actuator will not be performed. For example, if the actuator moves
entirely within the range T24TSTMX - -100 a determination of
whether the actuator is mechanically disconnected will not be
made. This is due to the fact that at the extreme ends of the actuator
movement, a change in position may not result in a detectable
change in temperature. When the actuator stops in the range
98- -100% (the actuator is considered to be open), a test shall be
performed where SAT is expected to be approximately equal to
OAT. If SAT is not determined to be approximately equal to OAT,
a "damper not modulating" alert shall be logged.
Range=50- -100
Default=85
Economizer Actuator Communication
The economizer actuator used with the 48/50LC units is a
Multi- -Function Technology (MFT) actuator.
ComfortLink system to communicate with the actuator digitally
using Belimo MP protocol.
Control Type (ConfigurationECONE.CTL) determines the
communication method, either digital or analog, used to
communicate between the Economizer Control Board and the
economizer actuator.
NOTE: The power to the unit must be cycled after the
Economizer Control Type (ConfigurationECONE.CTL)
configuration parameter is changed.
E.CTL = 1 or 2 (Digital/Position or Digital/Command)
When Economizer Control
E.CTL) is set to 1, the Economizer Control Board will
communicate with the economizer actuator using the digital
protocol, from Economizer Control Board plug J7- -1 to actuator
pin 5. The commanded position and the actuators actual position
are communicated back and forth between the actuator and the
Economizer Control Board. When the Economizer Control Board
and actuator first initiate communication, a Control Angle
(Operating ModesECONC.ANG) is provided
Economizer Control Board and defines the actuator's range of
motion. The control angle must be greater than the Min Actuator
Ctrl Angle (ConfigurationECONM.ANG).

or commanded position when E.CTL =2. Because the wiring has a
built- -in 500- -ohm resistor, the 4 to 20mA signal is converted to a 2
to 10VDC signal at the actuator.
E.CTL = 3 (Analog Control)
When E.CTL is set to 3, the Economizer Control Board will NOT
communicate with the actuator using digital MFT. It will instead
control the economizer actuator directly with the 4 to 20mA analog
signal wired with the 500- -ohm resistor producing a 2 to 10VDC
signal for the actuator. While in this mode, the actuator's built- -in 2
to 10VDC feedback signal can be read as actual position any time
because it is not used by the Economizer Control Board.
Minimum Ventilation
The economizer will open to allow ventilation when the indoor fan
is running and the unit is in the occupied state. The economizer
damper position at any given time for ventilation is displayed as
the Min Position in Effect (Run StatusECONEC.MP). This
minimum position can be effected by the indoor fan speed and
indoor air quality.
On Direct Drive ECM units, the economizer minimum position
will be equal to the ECON MIN at MAX Fan Speed
(ConfigurationECONMP.MX), when running High Fan
Speed, ECON MIN at Low Fan Speed (Configuration
ECONMP.LO), when running Low Fan Speed, or ECON
MIN at VENT Fan Speed (ConfigurationECON MP.VT)
when running Ventilation Fan Speed, unless Indoor air quality
requests something different.
On Belt Drive VFD units, to maintain a constant airflow through
the economizer, as the indoor fan speed decreases or increases, the
damper minimum position will increase or decrease, respectively.
This relationship curve is shown in Fig. 6.
Units can also be equipped with optional CO
additional indoor air quality control. When unit is equipped with a
return duct CO sensor or return duct CO
2
CO sensor the Economizer minimum position will be recalculated
2
based on the CO level of the return and/or outside air. On VFD
2
units the fan speed will also be used in recalculating minimum
position, as shown in Fig. 6. When the Commanded Fan Speed
(F.SPD) is less than the Supply Fan Maximum Speed (FS.MX) the
damper will operate in the shaded area of Fig. 6 based on the IAQ
Level (IAQ). See the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) section (starting on
page 23) for more details on Demand Control Ventilation (DCV).
