Thermostats

The EconoMi$er IV control works with conventional thermo-
stats that have a Y1 (cool stage 1), Y2 (cool stage 2), W1 (heat
stage 1), W2 (heat stage 2), and G (fan). The EconoMi$er IV
control does not support space temperature sensors. Connec-
tions are made at the thermostat terminal connection board lo-
cated in the main control box.

Occupancy Control

The factory default configuration for the EconoMi$er IV con-
trol is occupied mode. Occupied status is provided by the black
jumper from terminal TR to terminal N. When unoccupied
mode is desired, install a field-supplied timeclock function in
place of the jumper between TR and N. When the timeclock
contacts are closed, the EconoMi$er IV control will be in occu-
pied mode. When the timeclock contacts are open (removing
the 24-v signal from terminal N), the EconoMi$er IV will be in
unoccupied mode.

Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV)

When using the EconoMi$er IV for demand controlled ventila-
tion, there are some equipment selection criteria which should
be considered. When selecting the heat capacity and cool ca-
pacity of the equipment, the maximum ventilation rate must be
evaluated for design conditions. The maximum damper posi-
tion must be calculated to provide the desired fresh air.
Typically the maximum ventilation rate will be about 5 to 10%
more than the typical cfm required per person, using normal
outside air design criteria.
A proportional anticipatory strategy should be taken with the
following conditions: a zone with a large area, varied occupan-
cy, and equipment that cannot exceed the required ventilation
rate at design conditions. Exceeding the required ventilation
rate means the equipment can condition air at a maximum ven-
tilation rate that is greater than the required ventilation rate for
maximum occupancy. A proportional-anticipatory strategy will
cause the fresh air supplied to increase as the room CO
increases even though the CO
By the time the CO level reaches the set point, the damper will

be at maximum ventilation and should maintain the set point.
In order to have the CO sensor control the economizer damper

in this manner, first determine the damper voltage output for
minimum or base ventilation. Base ventilation is the ventila-
tion required to remove contaminants during unoccupied peri-
ods. The following equation may be used to determine the per-
cent of outside air entering the building for a given damper
position. For best results, there should be at least a 10 degree
difference in outside and return-air temperatures.

Once base ventilation has been determined, set the minimum
damper position potentiometer to the correct position.
The same equation can be used to determine the occupied or max-
imum ventilation rate to the building. For example, an output of
3.6 volts to the actuator provides a base ventilation rate of 5% and
an output of 6.7 volts provides the maximum ventilation rate of
20% (or base plus 15 cfm per person). Use Fig. 66 to determine

the maximum setting of the CO
ppm set point relates to a 15 cfm per person design. Use the 1100
ppm curve on Fig. 66 to find the point when the CO
will be 6.7 volts. Line up the point on the graph with the left side
of the chart to determine that the range configuration for the CO
sensor should be 1800 ppm. The EconoMi$er IV controller will

may be left at 2 volts since the CO
by the EconoMi$er IV controller until it rises above the 3.6 volt
setting of the minimum position potentiometer.
Once the fully occupied damper position has been determined,
set the maximum damper demand controlled ventilation poten-
tiometer to this position. Do not set to the maximum position
as this can result in over-ventilation to the space and potential
high humidity levels.

The CO sensor has preset standard voltage settings that can be
2
selected anytime after the sensor is powered up.
Use setting 1 or 2 for Carrier equipment.
1. Press Clear and Mode buttons. Hold at least 5 seconds
until the sensor enters the Edit mode.
2. Press Mode twice. The STDSET Menu will appear.
3. Use the Up/Down button to select the preset number.
4. Press Enter to lock in the selection.
5. Press Mode to exit and resume normal operation.
The custom settings of the CO
after the sensor is energized. Follow the steps below to change
the non-standard settings:
1. Press Clear and Mode buttons. Hold at least 5 seconds
until the sensor enters the Edit mode.
2. Press Mode twice. The STDSET Menu will appear.
3. Use the Up/Down button to toggle to the NONSTD menu
and press Enter.
4. Use the Up/Down button to toggle through each of the
nine variables, starting with Altitude, until the desired set-
ting is reached.
5. Press Mode to move through the variables.
6. Press Enter to lock in the selection, then press Mode to
level
continue to the next variable.
Dehumidification of Fresh Air with DCV (Demand Con-
trolled Ventilation) Control
If normal rooftop heating and cooling operation is not adequate
for the outdoor humidity level, an energy recovery unit and/or
a dehumidification option should be considered.
ECONOMI$ER IV PREPARATION
This procedure is used to prepare the EconoMi$er
troubleshooting. No troubleshooting or testing is done by per-
forming the following procedure.
NOTE: This procedure requires a 9-v battery, 1.2 kilo-ohm resis-
tor, and a 5.6 kilo-ohm resistor which are not supplied with the
EconoMi$er IV.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to record the positions of all
potentiometers before starting troubleshooting.
1. Disconnect power at TR and TR1. All LEDs should be off.
Exhaust fan contacts should be open.
2. Disconnect device at P and P1.
3. Jumper P to P1.
4. Disconnect wires at T and T1. Place 5.6 kilo-ohm resistor
across T and T1.
5. Jumper TR to 1.
6. Jumper TR to N.
