SPACE SENSOR CONTROL — If the unit is in cooling,
operating under space temperature control, the economizer is
available for cooling, and no compressors are operating, the
economizer will control the SAT to either Setpoints
→
LCSP or
Setpoints
→
HCSP (see Table 40). If a compressor is ON, the
economizer will try to position itself at the economizer maxi-
mum cooling position (Configuration
→
ECON
→
EC.MX).
If the control senses low suction pressure for any active re-
frigerant circuit when the economizer is also providing cooling,
the maximum allowable economizer position will be reduced.
Factory default configurations have been qualified over a large
range of conditions and should only be changed with care. For
unit troubleshooting, factory default maximum economizer
limits for this condition are provided in Table 41.

ECONOMIZER ACTUATOR COMMUNICATIONS — The
configuration Economizer Control Type determines the
communication method, either digital or analog, used to
communicate between the ECB and the economizer actuator.
Economizer Control Type is accessible via the Scrolling
Marquee at Configurations
→
ECON
→
E.CTL. The power to
the unit must be cycled after E.CTL is changed.
E.CTL =
1 (Digital/Position) — When E.CTL is set to 1, the
ECB will communicate with the economizer actuator using the
digital protocol. The ECB 4 to 20 mA output will represent the
actuator’s actual position. Because the wiring has a built-in
500-ohm resistor, the 4 to 20 mA signal is converted to a 2 to
10-v signal that is accessible via field connection terminal board
TB2-8 and TB2-9. However, before this signal can be read, the
violet wire that connects the actuator to field connection termi-
nal board TB2-J10-8 must be removed or cut.
E.CTL =
2 (Digital/Command) — When E.CTL is set to 2,
the ECB will communicate with the economizer actuator using
the digital protocol. The ECB 4 to 20 mA output will represent
the actuator’s commanded position. Because the wiring has a
built-in 500-ohm resistor, the 4 to 20 mA signal is converted to
a 2 to 10-v signal that is accessible via field connection termi-
nal board TB2-8 and TB2-9. However, before this signal can
be read, the violet wire that connects the actuator to field con-
nection terminal board TB2-J10-8 must be removed or cut.
E.CTL =
3 (Analog Control) — When E.CTL is set to 3, the
ECB will communicate with the economizer actuator using the
4 to 20 mA analog signal wired to TB2-8 and TB2-9 along
with the 500-ohm resistor producing a 2 to 10-v signal for the
actuator. While in this mode, the actuator’s built-in 2 to 10-v
feedback signal is accessible via TB2-9 and TB2-10.
UNOCCUPIED FREE COOLING — The unoccupied free
cooling algorithm attempts to maintain the building space at
the occupied cooling set point during unoccupied periods if the
conditions in the building and the outdoors are suitable. Three
different configurations define this algorithm: Unoccupied
Free Cooling (Configuration
→
ECON
→
UEFC), Free Cool-
ing Preoccupancy Time (Configuration
→
ECON
→
FC.TM)
and Free Cool Low Temp Limit (Configuration

ECON
→
FC.LO).

ECON

UEFC = 0 (Disabled) — When
UEFC = 0, unoccupied free cooling is disabled.

ECON
→
UEFC = 1 (Unoccupied) — When
UEFC = 1, unoccupied free cooling can occur whenever the
building is unoccupied.
Configuration

ECON
→
UEFC = 2 (Preoccupancy) — When
UEFC = 2, unoccupied free cooling can only occur when the
time to the next occupied period is less than Configuration

FC.TM — FC.TM is the configura-
tion that determines how many minutes before occupancy that

FC.LO — Unoccupied free cooling
cannot occur if the Outdoor Air Temperature (Tempera-

POWER EXHAUST — To enable power exhaust, Configu-
ration

ECON

PE.EN must be set to ENBL. If power ex-
haust is enabled, Power Exhaust 1 will turn on when the econo-
mizer position is greater than the value of Configuration

PE.1. If power exhaust is enabled, Power Exhaust 2
will turn on when the economizer position is greater than the
value of Configuration

PE.2. There are small time
delays to ensure that rapid cycling does not occur.
Optional Humidi-MiZer™ Dehumidification Sys-
tem — Units with the factory-equipped Humidi-MiZer
option are capable of providing multiple modes of improved
dehumidification as a variation of the normal cooling cycle.
The Humidi-MiZer option includes additional valves in the
liquid line and discharge line of each refrigerant circuit, a small
reheat condenser coil downstream of the evaporator, and
Motormaster® variable-speed control of some or all outdoor
fans. Operation of the revised refrigerant circuit for each mode
is described below.
NOTE: x = refrigerant circuit A or B.
Normal Cooling
— Refrigerant flows from the outdoor
condenser through the de-energized 3-way valve (RH1.x) to
the expansion device. Reheat2 Valve (RH2.x) is closed. See
Fig. 6.
Reheat 1 (Subcooling Mode)
— This mode increases latent
cooling and decreases sensible cooling compared to normal
cooling. Refrigerant flows from the outdoor condenser,
through the energized 3-way Valve (RH1.x), and through the
reheat condenser coil to the expansion device. Reheat2 Valve
(RH2.x) is closed. See Fig. 7.
Reheat 2 (Hot Gas Reheat Mode)
— This mode provides
maximum latent cooling with little to no sensible capacity.
This mode can operate to provide dehumidification when there
is no cooling demand. Like Reheat 1 mode, refrigerant flows
from the outdoor condenser, through the energized 3-way valve
(RH1.x), and through the reheat condenser coil to the expan-
sion device. Reheat2 Valve (RH2.x) is open which provides
some compressor discharge gas to the reheat condenser to fur-
ther increase the reheat of the evaporator air stream. See Fig. 8.
Units with multiple circuits can operate with additional
staging of the cooling and dehumidification capacity. When
there is only cooling demand, based on a space temperature
sensor or thermostat, one or more circuits will operate in
normal cooling mode. When there is only dehumidification
demand, based on a space humidity sensor or switch, all
circuits will operate in reheat2 mode. When there is both
cooling demand and dehumidification demand, all circuits will
operate in either reheat1 or reheat2 mode, with the portion of
reheat1 circuits determined from the cooling demand.
