DAMPER MOVEMENT — Damper movement from full open to
full closed (or vice versa) takes 2 1/2 minutes.
THERMOSTATS — The Economizer control works with conven-
tional thermostats that have a Y1 (cool stage 1), Y2 (cool stage 2), W1
(heat stage 1), W2 (heat stage 2), and G (fan). The Economizer control
does not support space temperature sensors. Connections are made at
the thermostat terminal connection board located in the main control
box.
OCCUPANCY CONTROL — The factory default configuration
for the Economizer control 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 time clock
function in place of the jumper between TR and N. See Fig. 45. When
the time clock contacts are closed, the Economizer control will be in
occupied mode. When the time clock contacts are open (removing the
24- -v signal from terminal N), the Economizer will be in unoccupied
mode.
DEMAND CONTROLLED VENTILATION (DCV)—When
using the Economizer for demand controlled ventilation, there are
some equipment selection criteria which should be considered. When
selecting the heat capacity and cool capacity of the equipment, the
maximum ventilation rate must be evaluated for design conditions.
The maximum damper position 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. An exponential anticipatory
strategy should be taken with the following conditions: a zone with
a large area, varied occupancy, 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
ventilation rate that is greater than the required ventilation rate for
maximum occupancy. An exponential- -anticipatory strategy will
cause the fresh air supplied to increase as the room CO
even though the CO set point has not been reached. By the time the
2
CO level reaches the set point, the damper will be at maximum
2
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 ventilation required to remove contaminants during
unoccupied periods. The following equation may be used to
determine the percent of outside- -air entering the building for a given
damper position. For best results there should be at least a 10_F
(12.2_C) 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 maximum 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. 43 to determine the maximum setting of the CO

The DCV set point may be left at 2 volts since the CO
voltage will be ignored by the Economizer controller until it rises

Once the fully occupied damper position has been determined, set
the maximum damper demand control ventilation potentiometer 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.

DEHUMIDIFICATION OF FRESH AIR WITH DCV
CONTROL—Information from ASHRAE indicates that the largest
humidity load on any zone is the fresh air introduced. For some
applications, an energy recovery unit can be added to reduce the
2
moisture content of the fresh air being brought into the building when
the enthalpy is high. In most cases, the normal heating and cooling
processes are more than adequate to remove the humidity loads for
most commercial applications.
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.
