Pre Start Verifying Proper Air Flow (Units with Belt Drive Indoor Fan) Much of the systems performance and reliability is closely associated with, and dependent upon having the proper airflow supplied both to the space that is being conditioned and across the evaporator coil. The indoor fan speed is changed by opening or closing the adjustable motor sheave.
Start Up Standard Economizer Start-Up mode and all components removed or failed will alarm in the operation mode. 1. Set the minimum position setpoint for the economizer • Upon power up (or after a power outage or brownout), to the required percentage of minimum ventilation the JADE controller module begins a 5 minute power using the setpoint potentiometer located on the up delay before enabling mechanical cooling.
