IMPORTANT: Read these instructions completely before attempting to install the accessory temperature sensor.

Safety Considerations

Installation and servicing of air-conditioning equipment can be hazardous due to system pressure and electrical components. Only trained and qualified service personnel should install, repair, or service air-conditioning equipment.

Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions of cleaning coils and filters and replacing filters. All other operations should be performed by trained service personnel. When working on air-conditioning equipment, observe precautions in the literature, tags and labels attached to the unit, and other safety precautions that may apply.

Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Use quenching cloth for unbrazing operations. Have fire extinguisher available for all brazing operations.

It is important to recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol ⚠. When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices, which may result in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.

⚠ WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could cause personal injury and/or death. Disconnect power supply and install lockout tag before attempting to install the accessory.

General

Units with factory-installed enthalpy sensors can be changed to outdoor dry bulb changeover control with a single accessory temperature sensor. All other units come with the dry bulb sensor as standard with the factory-installed EconoMi$er IV system. The sensor is used for outdoor temperature control.

Outdoor Dry Bulb Changeover Control

For this control mode, the outdoor temperature is compared to an adjustable set point selected on the sensor. If the outdoor air temperature is above the set point, the EconoMi$er IV system will adjust the outdoor air dampers to minimum position. If the outdoor air temperature is below the set point, the position of the outdoor air dampers will be controlled to provide free cooling using outdoor air.

General Installation

This section assumes you are starting with an EconoMi$er IV system installed in the rooftop and equipped with a single enthalpy sensor (P/N HH57AC078). If your EconoMi$er IV system is already equipped with a dry bulb temperature sensor (P/N HH57AC080), STOP. You do not need to continue with this section.

  1. Turn off power to the unit and install Lockout Tag.
  2. Depending on the type of panels the unit is equipped with:
    • Units with standard panels: Remove the EconoMi$er hood from the base unit and save the screws for Step 8a.
    • Units with factory-installed hinged panels: Open the hinged panel and secure it. Since the panel is hinged, do not remove it from the unit.
  3. Disconnect the black and red wires from the pre-existing single enthalpy sensor (P/N HH57AC078) and let them hang. Remove the single enthalpy sensor and save the screws (no. 8) for use in Step 4. The wires will be used later to connect to the new temperature sensor.
  4. Use the two sheet metal screws (no. 8) from Step 3 to mount the dry bulb sensor on the front left of the EconoMi$er frame, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Use the two screw holes in the EconoMi$er frame.
  5. Ensure the black and red wires are connected on the EconoMi$er IV controller correctly. The red wire should be connected to the "SO" terminal and the black wire to the "SO+" terminal. If they are not connected this way, make the connections as described. The CRTEMPSN002A00 kit contains an extra red and black wire. (See Figure 3.)
  6. Pick up the black and red wires left hanging in Step 3 and connect them to the temperature sensor. Connect the red wire to the sensor's "-" terminal and the black wire to the sensor's "+" terminal. See Figure 4 for details.
  7. Restore power to the unit and configure the EconoMi$er IV controller per the configuration section of this manual.
  8. Depending on the type of panels the unit is equipped with:
    • Units with standard panels: Re-install the EconoMi$er hood. Secure the hood using the screws saved from Step 2a.
    • Units with factory-installed hinged panels: Close the hinged panel and latch it.

Diagram and Component Location Descriptions

Figure 1: Location of Sensor illustrates the mounting position of the temperature sensor on the EconoMi$er frame.

Figure 2: EconoMi$er IV Component Locations shows the general layout of components on the EconoMi$er IV controller, including the actuator, lockout switch, and outside air temperature sensor.

Figure 3: EconoMi$er IV Controller Potentiometer and LED Locations details the specific terminals and indicators on the EconoMi$er IV controller, such as terminals for exhaust fan set point, minimum/maximum damper position, demand control ventilation, and free cooling/enthalpy changeover.

Figure 4: Temperature Sensor Specifications provides dimensional information for the temperature sensor, indicating its size and mounting details.

C7660 Dry Bulb Sensor Set Up

When outdoor air temperature is below the changeover set point, the sensor will provide a 20 mA signal to the economizer, positioning the damper open on a call for cooling. When the outdoor air is above the changeover set point, the sensor provides a 4 mA signal, indicating not OK to economize, and the outdoor damper drives to minimum position. The C7660 temperature sensors replace the control function of the temperature changeover in the economizer control.

The A-B-C-D potentiometer on the economizer does not control the changeover point when a C7660 sensor is used in place of an enthalpy sensor. For single dry bulb control, set the potentiometer to D.

The factory default switch setting is 63°F. The changeover temperature can be field set by changing the positions of the dip switches using Figure 7.

Figure 5: Outdoor Air Changeover Temperature visually represents the relationship between outdoor air temperature and the economizer signal, showing how the sensor output changes.

Figure 6: C7660 Temperature Sensor shows the physical appearance of the C7660 temperature sensor.

Configuration

Outdoor Dry Bulb Changeover

For this control mode, the outdoor temperature is compared to an adjustable set point selected on the control. If the outdoor air temperature is above the set point, the EconoMi$er IV system will adjust the outdoor air dampers to minimum position. If the outdoor air temperature is below the set point, the position of the outdoor air dampers will be controlled to provide free cooling using outdoor air. When in this mode, the LED next to the free cooling set point potentiometer will be on.

Outdoor Air Sensor

The C7660 Dry Bulb sensor has three dip switches that are used to set the changeover temperature to meet the application. The factory default setting is 63°F. There are two changeover strategies available: exclusive operation (mechanical cooling or economizer only) and integrated operation (economizer and mechanical cooling can operate simultaneously, requiring a two-stage thermostat).

Figure 7 lists the changeover switch set points. With the power off, set the switches to the appropriate temperature required for application. Set the Free Cooling/Enthalpy Changeover Set Point Potentiometer to "D", located on the face of the economizer control.
