a. (ConfigurationECONUEFC = 0) -- Disabled

When UEFC = 0, unoccupied free cooling is disabled.

Cooling will only occur if the space exceeds the
unoccupied setpoints.

b. (ConfigurationECONUEFC = 1) -- Unoccupied

When UEFC is set to 1, unoccupied free cooling can
occur throughout the entire unoccupied period. The

space temperature must be higher then the mid--point
between the occupied cooling and heating set points.

c. (ConfigurationECONUEFC = 2) -- Preoccupancy

When UEFC is set to 2, unoccupied free cooling can
only occur when the time until the next occupied period

is less than the Free Cool PreOcc Time (FC.TM) in
minutes.

PreOcc

Time

(ConfigurationECONFC.TM)

FC.TM is the configuration that determines how many

minutes before occupancy that free cooling can occur when
set for Preoccupancy (UEFC = 2).

Limit

(ConfigurationECONFC.LO)

Unoccupied free cooling cannot occur if the Outdoor Air

Temperature (TemperatureAIR.TOAT) is less than

FC.LO.

Power Exhaust
To enable power exhaust set Power Exhaust Installed

(ConfigurationECONPE.EN) to YES. On the 48/50PD--05

and 06 size units both power exhaust fans are wired together and

are controlled by the configuration Power Exhaust Stage1 CFM

(ConfigurationECONPE1.C). When the Indoor Fan Max

Speed CFM (ConfigurationECONIDF.C) is set to the correct

supply duct CFM (either by fan tables or air balance report) the

control will calculate the outside air CFM based on outside air

damper

position

and

Commanded

Fan

Speed

(OutputsFANSF.SPD) to turn on the power exhaust when the

calculated outside air CFM reaches Power Exhaust Stage1 CFM

(ConfigurationECONPE1.C). The power exhaust will turn

off when the calculated outside air CFM falls below Power

Exhaust Stage1 CFM (ConfigurationECONPE1.C). The

Power Exhaust Stage2 CFM (ConfigurationECONPE2.C) is

not currently used on the 48/50PD--05 and 06 units.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

The ComfortLink TM control has the capability for several

methods of demand ventilation control. Indoor air quality is

typically measured using a CO2 sensor whose measurements are
displayed in parts per million (ppm). Outdoor air quality may be

measured with a CO2 sensor for indoor--outdoor differential
demand ventilation control, or with other sensor types for the

outdoor air lockout function. The factory--installed indoor air

quality CO2 sensor is mounted in the return section.

A

field--installed indoor air quality CO2 sensor may be mounted in

the return or directly in the occupied space, per job requirements.
The indoor air quality modes of operation can be affected by the

IAQ Analog Input Config (ConfigurationAIR.QIA.CF),

IAQ Switch Input Config (ConfigurationAIR.QIA.CF),

OAQ Analog Input Config (ConfigurationAIR.QOA.CF)

and other related fan and limit configurations as described below.
IAQ (Analog Input)
The ComfortLink TM control is configured for indoor air quality
sensors which provide 4 to 20 mA signal for 0 to 2000 ppm CO2.

If the sensor being used has a different range, the ppm display
range must be reconfigured by entering new values for the IAQ

Sensor Value at 4mA (ConfigurationAIR.QI.4M) and IAQ

Sensor Value at 20mA (ConfigurationAIR.QI.20M).
IA.CF = 0 (No IAQ)

IA.CF = 0 signifies that there is no IAQ sensor installed. The
damper will operate at the Econ Min at Max Fan Speed

(ConfigurationECONMP.MX) when the fan is at Supply Fan

Maximum Speed (ConfigurationUNITFS.MX) and the

damper position will vary at other fan speeds as described in the
Cooling Mode with Economizer section below when the space is

occupied and the indoor fan is on.
IA.CF = 1 (DCV)
When IA.CF = 1 the IAQ algorithm is set for Demand Control

Ventilation (DCV). During DCV, the damper modulates between
two user configurations depending upon the relationship between

the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and the Outdoor Air Quality (OAQ).

The lower of these two positions is referred to as the Econo Min
IAQ Position (ConfigurationAIR.QAQ.MN) while the higher

is referred to as the Econ Min at Max Fan Speed

(ConfigurationECONMP.MX).

The Econo Min IAQ

Position (ConfigurationAIR.QAQ.MN) should be set to an

economizer position that brings in enough fresh air to remove
contaminates and CO2 generated by sources other than people.

The

Econ

Min

at

Max

Fan

Speed

(ConfigurationECONMP.MX) should be set to an

economizer position that brings in fresh air to remove contaminates
and CO2 generated by all sources including people when the

indoor fan is operating at the Supply Fan Maximum Speed

(ConfigurationUNITFS.MX). The Econ Min at Max Fan

Speed (ConfigurationECONMP.MX) value is the design

value for maximum occupancy.
The ComfortLink TM control will begin to open the damper from

the Econo Min IAQ Position (ConfigurationAIR.QAQ.MN)

position when the IAQ level begins to exceed the Outdoor Air
Quality (OAQ) level by a configurable amount. This amount is

referred

to

as

AQ

Differential

Low

(ConfigurationAIR.QAQD.L).

When the differential

between IAQ and OAQ reaches AQ Differential High

(ConfigurationAIR.QAQD.H), the economizer position will

be

at

the

Econ

Min

at

Max

Fan

Speed

(ConfigurationECONMP.MX) when the indoor fan speed is

at

Supply

Fan

Maximum

Speed

(ConfigurationUNITFS.MX).

When

the

IAQ/OAQ

differential

is

between

AQ

Differential

Low

(ConfigurationAIR.QAQD.L) and AQ Differential High

(ConfigurationAIR.QAQD.H), the control will modulate the

damper

between

Econ

Min

at

Max

Fan

Speed

(ConfigurationECONMP.MX) and Econo Min IAQ Position

(ConfigurationAIR.QAQ.MN) in a linear manner as shown

in Figure 3. At other fan speeds the economizer damper will

operate in the shaded area between the two economizer position
curves but at the actual fan speed as indicated by Commanded Fan

Speed (OutputsFANSF.SPD).
IA.CF = 2 (Override IAQ)

When IA.CF = 2, the IAQ algorithm maintains the damper at Econ

Min at Max Fan Speed (ConfigurationECONMP.MX) when

the indoor fan speed is at Supply Fan Maximum Speed

(ConfigurationUNITFS.MX) or in the shaded area of Figure

3 when the indoor fan speed is at the Commanded Fan Speed

(OutputsFANSF.SPD) until the override condition triggers.

The override triggers when the IAQ/OAQ differential is greater

than AQ Differential High (ConfigurationAIR.QAQD.H).

The IAQ Override Position (ConfigurationAIR.QOVR.P).

The economizer damper will return to the Econ Min at Max Fan

Speed (ConfigurationECONMP.MX) or MP.MX curve at

other fan speeds when the IAQ/OAQ differential is less than the

AQ Differential Low (ConfigurationAIR.QAQD.L).
The override algorithm will operate whenever the building is
occupied and the indoor fan is operating or whenever the IAQ

algorithm has caused the indoor fan to operate. The IAQ Analog
Fan Config (ConfigurationAIR.QIA.FN) determines whether

or not the IAQ algorithm can turn on the indoor fan.
If the indoor fan is not operating, the economizer position will be
zero. If the override is not active and the building is unoccupied,

the economizer position will be zero. The damper position may
