ECONOMIZER
The sampling tube is inserted through the side plates of the econo-
mizer housing, placing it across the return air opening on the unit
basepan. See Fig. 44. The holes in the sampling tube face down-
ward, into the return air stream. The sampling tube is connected
using tubing to the return air sensor mounted on a bracket high on
the partition between return filter and controller location. The sen-
sor is shipped in a flat-mounting location. Installation requires the
sensor be relocated to its operating location and the tubing to the
sampling tube be connected. See installation steps below.

4. Screw the sensor and detector plate into its operating position
using screws from Step 1. Ensure the sampling tube connec-
tion is on the bottom and the exhaust tube is on the top.
5. Connect the flexible tube on the sampling inlet to the sam-
pling tube on the basepan.
6. For units with an economizer, the sampling tube is inte-
grated into the economizer housing but connecting the
flexible tubing to the sampling tube is the same.
