  • Page 18 Menu Structure Menus are displayed in the Economizer Controller as per categories. There are eight first-level menus, each of which is represented by a number at the beginning of the line on the LCD. Pressing Enter + Up or Down can toggle between different first-level menus.
  • Page 19 Functions Free Cooling Economizing Free cooling uses unconditioned outside air to cool the space directly. The Economizer Controller enables or disables free cooling after it judges which control mode is active. It also uses hysteresis to ensure a smooth switchover. Depending on the sensors that are used, there are four different control modes.
  • Page 20 Default hysteresis setting Hysteresis setting (DB) between OAT and temperature shutoff setpoint defaults to 2 °F (non-changeable). The temperature shutoff setpoint decides when to disable free cooling when the outside air temperature increases. However, once free cooling is disabled after the increased temperature is higher than the temperature shutoff setpoint, the hysteresis setting decides when to enable free cooling.
  • Page 21 Cooling Stage Operation The Economizer Controller accepts inputs for 1-, 2- and 3-stage cooling inputs, and reroutes to the RTU through the relay connection Y1, Y2 and AUX1/AUX2. The operation of the cooling stages is determined by the availability of Free Cooling provided by the economizer operation mode.
  • Page 22 If Y2-Input is called too, the controller increases fan speed to Speed High and starts fan delay (2FAN DLY) time. After the delay time runs out, the controller starts Y1-Output. If Y3-Input is called too, the controller increases fan speed to Speed High and starts fan delay (2FAN DLY) time.
  • Page 23 Multi-Speed Fan Support The Economizer Controller supports connection to 2- and 3-speed fans. When the unit is equipped with a multi-speed fan, the damper responds to multiple fan speeds via multiple minimum positions (MIN POS) to keep minimum airflow. A multi-speed fan is not controlled by the Economizer Controller but an external logic board.
  • Page 24 If a single-speed fan connects to the Controller, the fan speed is Spd H. The damper position is PosH. 1-stage Cooling 2-stage Cooling 3-stage Cooling 1-speed Fan Spd H (regardless of Spd H Spd H (regardless cooling demand, (regardless of of cooling demand, OCC=Yes) cooling demand,...
  • Page 25 3 PosH = Damper MIN POS for High-Speed Fan.

  • Page 26 Variable-Speed Fan Support Once a variable-speed fan is configured with the Economizer Controller via terminal VFD 0-10 and the Fan Configuration in Climatix Mobile or '6FAN' in the inbuilt menu is configured as 'VFD FAN', the controller can control the fan speed following the logic below: OCC Y1 Y2 Y3 6FAN VFD Speed...
  • Page 27 Cooling Delay via Increasing Fan Speed If there is cooling demand while outside air is suitable for economizing, the Economizer Controller tries to increase fan speed to maximize the use of outside air first. If the cooling demand is not reached within a set time, mechanical cooling will be enabled.
  • Page 28 Setup and Configuration Before setup and configuration, it is recommended to obtain some location-based values such as shutoff points or utilize the location services in the Climatix mobile application. Set up and configure the Economizer Controller before putting it into usage. This can be accomplished by using the Climatix Mobile app or the inbuilt display.
