  • Page 19: Enthalpy Settings

    Enthalpy Settings If economizer is enthalpy-based and was shipped with the temp/humidity sensor, the economizer must be programmed for the specific enthalpy curve boundary desired for “free” outdoor cooling. The available enthalpy boundaries are all subject to specific OA temperature, OA humidity and OA dew points. If all of the OA conditions are below the specific points outlined in each boundary, the conditions are good to economize and economizer mode is set to “YES”.
