Functions
Free Cooling Economizing
Free cooling uses unconditioned outside air to cool the space directly. The Economizer Controller enables or disables free cooling based on the active control mode. It uses hysteresis for smooth switchover. There are four different control modes depending on the sensors used.
Control Mode | Used Sensors | Enable Free Cooling? |
---|---|---|
Control Mode 1 Fixed Dry-bulb | OA (outside air) temperature sensor and MA (Mixed Air) temperature sensor | The outside-air dry-bulb temperature is compared with the set temperature shutoff setpoint. If the outside-air dry-bulb temperature is below the temperature shutoff setpoint, the outside air is used to meet all or part of the cooling demand. |
Control Mode 2 Differential Dry-bulb (Dual Dry- Bulbs) | OA temperature sensor, RA (Return Air) temperature sensor and MA temperature sensor | The outside-air dry-bulb temperature is compared with the return-air dry-bulb temperature. If both OAT and RAT are higher than the temperature high limitation, free cooling is prohibited. If OAT or RAT is lower than the temperature high limitation and the outside-air dry-bulb temperature is lower than the return-air dry-bulb temperature, the outside air is used to meet all or part of the cooling demand. |
Control Mode 3 Combination Fixed Enthalpy and Fixed Dry-bulb Control | OA temperature and humidity sensor, and MA temperature sensor | The outside-air dry-bulb temperature and enthalpy are compared with the set temperature and enthalpy shutoff setpoints. If the outside-air enthalpy is lower than the set enthalpy shutoff setpoint, and the outside-air dry bulb temperature is lower than the temperature shutoff setpoint, the outside air can be used for economizing. |
Control Mode 4 Combination of Differential Enthalpy and Fixed Dry-bulb | OA temperature and humidity sensor, RA humidity sensor, and MA temperature sensor | The outside-air dry-bulb temperature and enthalpy are compared with the temperature shutoff setpoint and return-air enthalpy. If both OA enthalpy and RA enthalpy are higher than the enthalpy high limitation, free cooling is prohibited. If OA enthalpy or RA enthalpy is lower than the enthalpy high limitation, outside-air enthalpy is lower than the return-air enthalpy, and the outside-air dry-bulb temperature is lower than the set temperature shutoff setpoint, then outside air can be used for economizing. |
Default hysteresis setting
Hysteresis setting (DB) defaults to 2 °F.
Diagram illustrating hysteresis.
Damper modulation during free cooling
Once outside air is suitable for free cooling, the controller modulates the damper based on MAT (mixed air temperature, default) or OAT (outside air temperature). If MAT is used when free cooling is enabled, MAT setpoint ('3MAT SET') is used for MAT modulating. When MAT falls below the anti-freeze setpoint (3FRZ PROT), the damper either fully closes or opens to the minimum position.
- If MAT is lower than MAT setpoint, the damper is modulated to maintain MAT setpoint, towards fully closes or opens to the minimum position based on occupancy status if MAT continues dropping.
- If MAT is in the range [MAT setpoint, (MAT setpoint + neutral zone band (1 °F by default))], the damper position remains no change.
- If MAT is higher than (MAT setpoint + neutral zone band), the damper opens towards fully open.
- If MAT is 10 °F higher than MAT setpoint, the damper fully opens to 100%.
- If OAT is used when there is a cooling demand, the damper can be opened to different positions depending on different outside air temperatures:
- If outside air is higher than 50 °F but lower than the temperature shutoff setpoint, the damper is fully open.
- If outside air is higher than OAT lockout setpoint but lower than 50 °F, linear modulation is applied when only Cooling Stage 1 input (Y1I) is ON. Result of the following formula indicates the damper's open position: ((OAT - OAT Lockout Setpoint) / (50 - OAT Lockout Setpoint)) * (80% MIN POS) + MIN POS
Note: When both free cooling and mechanical cooling are on, damper remains fully open regardless of the modulating logic.
5.2 Location-based Shutoff Setpoints
The Economizer Controller can get location-based temperature and enthalpy shutoff setpoints automatically if it is connected to the Climatix Mobile application. Once a WLAN stick is plugged, the Economizer Controller can establish network connection with the Climatix Mobile application. The temperature and enthalpy shutoff setpoints obtained via the phone or tablet's GPS functionality can then be synchronized to the Economizer Controller.
5.3 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. See Cooling Stage I/O Logic tables [→ 19]. Based on the use of Free Cooling, the operating modes are as follows:
- Y1 is Stage 1 Cooling Demand.
- Y2 is Stage 2 Cooling Demand.
- Y3 is Stage 3 Cooling Demand.
- Free Cooling is always the first cooling stage.
- Cooling Stage 1 call from the Commercial Thermostat (Y1) energizes the Y1 input to the Economizer Controller.
- Cooling Stage 2 call from the Commercial Thermostat (Y2) energizes the Y2 input to the Economizer Controller.
- Cooling Stage 3 call from the Commercial Thermostat energizes the AUX1/AUX2 input to the Economizer Controller.

Table 1: 1- and 2-Stage Cooling I/O Logic
* If OAT < MAT setpoint (3MAT SET), then Relay 2 is always OFF to disable Cooling Stage 2. Otherwise, if both stages of cooling (Y1 and Y2) are ON for more than a set time (15 minutes by default), Y2 remains ON, and the OAT is higher than MAT setpoint, then Relay 2 energizes to allow Y2 pass-through to enable Cooling Stage 2. If you want to change to another set time, configure '3STG3 DLY' as desired. See Advanced Settings [→ 33] for more details of '3STG3 DLY'.

Table 2: 1-, 2- and 3-Stage Cooling I/O Logic
* If OAT < MAT setpoint, then Relay 3 is always OFF to disable Cooling Stage 3. Otherwise, if all cooling stages (Y1, Y2 and Y3) are ON for more than a set time (15 minutes by default), Y3 remains ON, and the OAT is higher than MAT setpoint, then Relay 3 energizes to allow AUX1/AUX2 pass-through to enable Cooling Stage 3. If you want to change to another set time, configure '3STG3 DLY' as desired. See Advanced Settings [→ 33] for more details of '3STG3 DLY'.
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.

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.
Typical Field Application
Prerequisites:
- Outside air is suitable for economizing and free cooling is ON.
- Fan connected to the controller supports multiple speeds. Cooling delay function doesn't work if only a one-speed fan is connected to the controller.
1. If it is a 2-speed fan and there are two cooling demand inputs/outputs, Y1-Input is called, the controller sets fan speed to Speed Low. Damper is fully open (100%).
- 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 the cooling demand is not reached within '3STG3 DLY' time and OAT is higher than MAT setpoint (3MAT SET), the controller starts Y2-Output.
2. If it is a 3-speed fan, Y1-Input is called, the controller sets fan speed to Speed Low. Damper is fully open (100%).
- If Y2-Input is called too, the controller increases fan speed to Speed Medium and starts '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 '2FAN DLY' time. After the delay time runs out, the controller starts Y2-Output.
- If the cooling demand is not reached within '3STG3 DLY' time and OAT is higher than MAT setpoint, the controller starts Y3-Output.
3. If a variable-speed fan is configured, cooling delay functions the same with 3-speed fan.
NOTICE: See more information about '2FAN DLY' and '3STG3 DLY' in Setup and Configuration [→ 29]. The default time is 5 and 15 minutes respectively.
Demand Control Ventilation (DCV)
The controller modulates the outside air damper based on the CO2 level through the ppm value selected between the range of 500 and 2000 ppm. The measured CO2 concentration value is compared with the set DCV setpoint. If the measured CO2 concentration value is below the DCV setpoint, keep the damper to the minimum position. Otherwise, enable DCV.
Once DCV is enabled, the DCV PID starts to run to control the indoor CO2 concentration value towards the DCV setpoint. The damper opens to the maximum position.
DCV is disabled if the controller receives no occupancy signal.
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. After sensor, compressor, thermostat or actuator is connected to the Economizer Controller, values/statuses are displayed in the Operating section of the Climatix Mobile application and on the LCD. You can manually change basic and advanced settings, configure I/Os and test the damper operation and any configured outputs by modifying the corresponding parameter values in the local device or Climatix mobile application. Following chapters describe a complete list of all parameters that you can find on the LCD display. Refer to it during your setup and configuration process. Note that parameters and display menus may display differently/dynamically if different applications are configured.
Not all operations are available on the local POL224.00. For example, you can only obtain shutoff setpoints and perform CFM commissioning via the Climatix mobile application. Setup and configuration on the local device are only recommended if operations from the Climatix mobile application are unavailable. Check the Climatix mobile application for all operations that can be performed from the mobile application end.
By connecting the RS485 port to a PC, all parameters are also readable or writable from PC tools such as Modbus Poll.exe via Modbus and Yabe.exe via MSTP (Bps 38400 (default), Bps 9600, Bps 19200, Bps 115200). Note that an external End of Line (EOL) element is required to achieve Baud Rate 115200 at a maximum cable length of 4000ft (1.2km).

Troubleshooting
Symptom | Reason | Solution |
---|---|---|
The Economizer Controller/ Mechanical Cooling is not operating | No input power | Use a multi-meter to check if there is 24 Vac +/- 25% (18 Vac - 30 Vac) at the POWER terminals. If there is no voltage or if the voltage is significantly low, check the transformer output voltage at the RTU. If 24 volts is not present at the transformer secondary side, check the primary line voltage to the transformer. If the line voltage is not present at the transformer primary side, check the primary power to the RTU, fuses, circuit breaker, and so on. |
Brownout | If voltage is below 17 Volts, the Economizer Controller may be in Brownout Protection mode. This mode disables all of the relay outputs. When the power is 19 Vac or higher, the Economizer Controller and RTU operate normally. | |
Free Cooling LED is solid RED | Y1/Y2 signal is missing from the thermostat | Mechanical Cooling doesn't run until there is cooling demand (Y1/Y2 Active). Check the wiring from Y1I and Y2I terminals to the commercial thermostat. 24V should be present between Y1I/Y2I andY1O/Y2O respectively. |
Free Cooling LED is blinking RED | 24 Vac~ and 24 Vac ± are incorrectly wired | 24 Vac power supply has polarity when all devices are powered by the same 24 Vac transformer; reversing polarity may cause a short circuit that can damage the system. Follow the transformer polarity mark, check the wring of 24V~ (or G or 24V+) and ensure that they are tied to the same polar of 24 Vac power supply; while checking the wiring of (or G0 or 24V- or COM) and ensure that they are all tied to another polar of 24 Vac power supply. |
Sensor LED is solid RED | Sensor, damper or the whole working system may not work properly | Check sensor, damper or the whole working system following the detailed alarm information. |
Mixed Air (MA) sensor error | Check the MA sensor, it must be either a Type II NTC 10K or 0-10Vdc sensor. | |
Not economizing when it should | Outside Air (OA)/Return Air (RA) sensor error | Check the wiring and signal of OA sensor. If in Differential (DIFF) mode, check the RA sensor too. The following sensor signals are valid: Type II NTC 10K or 0-10Vdc temperature 0-10Vdc or 4-20 mA humidity |
Air temperature failure/fault | Check the air temperature sensor signal. The valid signal must be Type II NTC 10K or 0-10Vdc. | |
Sensor LED is blinking RED | Excess outdoor air | Check the whole Economizer working system such as sensor, damper and thermostat. |
Sensor LED is yellow | Humidity sensor error | Check humidity sensor connection, sensor signal (under range or over range) and sensor signal type. |
Sensor LED is OFF | CO2 sensor error | Check CO2 sensor connection, sensor signal (under range or over range) and sensor signal type. |
DAC LED is blinking RED | Damper slippage | Check if the damper works properly. |
DAC LED is blinking RED quickly | Damper unplugged | Check if the damper is connected or not. |
Symptom | Reason | Solution |
---|---|---|
DAC LED is OFF | Terminal ACT-FB is configured but no available feedback signal | Check if the feedback signal is connected or not; check if ACT-FB is faulty or not. |
The controller has no alarm, but the Free Cooling LED never turns on even though the OA seems to be suitable for Free Cooling | Shutoff SP setting error | The shutoff temperature and/or enthalpy setpoint is incorrectly set up. Consult an HVAC professional to set up the shutoff setpoint correctly. |
OA temp is too low | The OAT is too low; therefore, there is no cooling demand. This could possibly enable anti-freeze protection. | |
OA temp is too high or too humid | In DIFF mode, even though OA temperature is lower than RA temperature, if both OA and RA temperatures exceed the high limit, Free Cooling turns off. In Differential Enthalpy control mode, even though OA enthalpy is lower than RA enthalpy, if both OA and RA enthalpy exceed the high limit, Free Cooling turns off. | |
An alarm is displayed on the LCD | Sensor, damper or the whole working system may not work properly | Check sensor, damper or the whole working system following the detailed alarm information. |
RS485 communication failure | RS485 signal or configuration error | Check wiring, configuration, Baud Rate (using mobile app) and other network communication parameters. |
Firmware update failure | Application file is damaged | Reload a BIN file, restart the controller, update firmware following Firmware Update [→ 28] or change a USB flash disk. Contact your service provider if failure still exists. |
WLAN connection failure | WLAN stick error or wrong user name and password | Plug out and plug in the WLAN stick, enter a correct user name and password, restart the controller or change a WLAN stick. If the WLAN stick is POL903.00/100, the default user name and password are Siemens-WiFi-Administrator and OneBTAdmin. See document CC1N7219en for more details. |
