Exhaust Fan VFD Sequence
If the factory has installed a VFD and wired it to the 
controller, it is intended to operate at a constant speed 
during operation. This speed needs to be set during 
test and balance of the unit. If equipped with BMS 
communications, the user can also directly command 
the exhaust fan speed.
• Optional Building Static Pressure Sensor: The
controller will modulate the exhaust fan based upon 
a comparison of the building static pressure set point 
to the actual building static pressure level reported 
from the sensor.
• Optional Supply Fan Tracking: The controller will
proportionally modulate the exhaust fan based upon 
the supply fan speed.
• Optional Outdoor Air Damper Tracking: The
controller will proportionally modulate the exhaust fan 
based upon the outdoor air damper position.
Outdoor Air and Recirculated (Recirc) Air 
Damper Control
If equipped with a modulating outdoor air and 
recirculated air damper, the recirculated air damper will 
operate inverse of the outdoor air damper. The outdoor 
air damper will open to a Minimum Outdoor Air Position 
(Min OA) when in occupied mode. If the controller 
is configured to modulate the supply fan speed, the 
minimum and maximum OA positions can be reset 
based on supply fan speed. If equipped with BMS 
communications, the user can also directly reset the 
damper position up to the maximum OA position.
• Optional Room CO2 Sensor: The controller will
proportionally modulate the OA/RA dampers based 
upon a comparison of the CO2 set point to the actual 
CO2 level reported from the sensor. As the CO2 level 
rises, the controller will proportionally modulate the 
outdoor air damper open, between the minimum and 
maximum OA position.
• Optional Building Pressure: The OA/RA dampers
will modulate based upon the signal from a building 
static pressure sensor. The controller will modulate 
the dampers, between the minimum and maximum 
OA positions, based upon a comparison of the 
building static pressure set point to the actual 
building static pressure level reported from the 
sensor.
Energy Recovery Wheel Sequences
Economizer (optional): If the unit is equipped with an 
energy recovery wheel, the economizer will modulate/
stop the energy wheel to achieve free cooling.
• Stop Wheel: When economizer mode is enabled
and there is a signal for cooling, the wheel will stop 
rotating to allow free cooling.
• Modulate Wheel: When economizer mode is
enabled and there is a signal for cooling, the
controller modulates wheel speed to maintain the 
supply temperature set point.
• Energy Wheel Bypass Dampers (optional): During
normal operation, the dampers shall remain closed 
to allow full operation of the energy wheel. During 
economizer sequences, the dampers will be open to 
bypass the energy wheel.
Frost Control (optional): The microprocessor 
controller will activate the frost control method when 
the outdoor air temperature is less than the defrost set 
point (5°F) and the wheel pressure switch is closed, due 
to a high wheel pressure drop. Once either the pressure 
drop decreases below the pressure switch point, or the 
outdoor air temperature increases, the unit will resume 
normal operation.
• Electric Preheater: When frosting is occurring, the
preheater is energized to defrost the wheel.
• Modulate Wheel: When frosting is occurring, the
wheel slows to allow defrosting to occur.
• Cycle Wheel: When frosting is occurring, the
energy wheel is cycled off for a defrost cycle time 
(2 minutes). After the defrost cycle time, the wheel 
is re-energized to continue normal operation. The 
controller will not allow another defrost cycle for a 
minimum normal operating cycle time (5 minutes).
• Timed Exhaust: When frosting is occurring, the
supply fan is cycled off along with the tempering for 
a defrost cycle time (5 minutes). The exhaust fan 
will continue to run, allowing the warm exhaust air 
to defrost the wheel. After the defrost cycle time, 
the supply fan and tempering are re-energized to 
continue normal operation. The controller will not 
allow another defrost cycle for a minimum normal 
operating cycle time (30 minutes).
Alarms
The microprocessor controller includes a digital output 
for remote indication of an alarm condition. Possible 
alarms include:
• Dirty Filter Alarm: If the outside air or return air
filter differential pressure rises above the differential 
pressure switch set point, the microprocessor 
controller will activate an alarm.
• Supply and Exhaust Air Proving Alarm:
Microprocessor controller monitors proving switch on 
each blower and displays an alarm in case of blower 
failure.
• Sensor Alarm: Microprocessor controller will send
an alarm if a failed sensor is detected (temperature, 
pressure, relative humidity).
• Supply Air Low Limit: If the supply air temperature
drops below the supply air low limit (35°F), the 
microprocessor controller will de-energize the unit 
and activate the alarm output after a preset time 
delay (300s).
• Other Alarms: Wheel Rotation, High Wheel
Pressure, High/Low Refrigerant Pressure.
