When ignition occurs the IGC board will continue to moni- tor the condition of the rollout and limit switches, the hall effect sensor, as well as the flame sensor. If the unit is controlled through a room thermostat set for fan auto., 45 seconds after ignition occurs, the indoor-fan motor will be energized (and the outdoor-air dampers will open to their minimum position). If for some reason the overtemperature limit opens prior to the start of the indoor fan blower, on the next attempt, the 45-second delay will be shortened to 5 seconds less than the time from initiation of heat to when the limit tripped. Gas will not be interrupted to the burners and heating will continue. Once modified, the fan on delay will not change back to 45 seconds unless power is reset to the control.

When additional heat is required, W2 closes and initiates power to the second stage of the main gas valve. When the thermostat is satisfied, W1 and W2 open and the gas valve closes, interrupting the flow of gas to the main burners. If the call for W1 lasted less than 1 minute, the heating cycle will not terminate until 1 minute after W1 became active. If the unit is controlled through a room thermostat set for fan auto., the indoor-fan motor will continue to operate for an additional 45 seconds then stop (and the outdoor-air dampers will close). If the overtemperature limit opens after the indoor motor is stopped within 10 minutes of W1 becoming inactive, on the next cycle the time will be extended by 15 seconds. The maximum delay is 3 minutes. Once modified, the fan off delay will not change back to 45 seconds unless power is reset to the control.

A LED indicator is provided on the IGC to monitor opera- tion. The IGC is located by removing the side panel and view- ing the IGC through the view port located in the control box access panel. During normal operation, the LED is continuous- ly on. For information on troubleshooting refer to page 57.

COOLING, UNITS WITH ECONOMI$ER IV — When free cooling is not available, the compressors will be controlled by the zone thermostat. When free cooling is available, the outdoor-air damper is modulated by the EconoMi$er IV control to provide a 50 to 55 F mixed-air temperature into the zone. As the mixed-air temperature fluctuates above 55 or below 50 F, the dampers will be modulated (open or close) to bring the mixed air temperature back within control.

If mechanical cooling is utilized with free cooling, the outdoor-air damper will maintain its current position at the time the compressor is started. If the increase in cooling capacity causes the mixed-air temperature to drop below 45 F, then the outdoor-air damper position will be decreased to the minimum position. If the mixed-air temperature continues to fall, the outdoor-air damper will close. Control returns to normal once the mixed-air temperature rises above 48 F.

If optional power exhaust is installed, as the outdoor-air damper opens and closes, the power exhaust fans will be ener- gized and deenergized.

If field-installed accessory CO2 sensors are connected to the EconoMi$er IV control, a demand controlled ventilation strate- gy will begin to operate. As the CO2 level in the zone increases above the CO2 set point, the minimum position of the damper will be increased proportionally. As the CO2 level decreases because of the increase in fresh air, the outdoor-air damper will be proportionally closed.

For EconoMi$er IV operation, there must be a thermostat call for the fan (G). This will move the damper to its minimum position.

When the EconoMi$er IV control is in the occupied mode and a call for cooling exists (Y1 on the thermostat), the control will first check for indoor fan operation. If the fan is not on, then cooling will not be activated. If the fan is on, then the control will open the EconoMi$er IV damper to the minimum position.

On the initial power to the EconoMi$er IV control, it will take the damper up to 21/2 minutes before it begins to position itself. Any change in damper position will take up to 30 sec- onds to initiate. Damper movement from full closed to full open (or vice versa) will take between 11/2 and 21/2 minutes.

If free cooling can be used as determined from the appropri- ate changeover command (switch, dry bulb, enthalpy curve, differential dry bulb, or differential enthalpy), then the control will modulate the dampers open to maintain the mixed-air tem- perature set point at 50 to 55 F.

If there is a further demand for cooling (cooling second stage — Y2 is energized), then the control will bring on compressor stage 1 to maintain the mixed-air temperature set point. The EconoMi$er IV damper will be open at maximum position. EconoMi$er IV operation is limited to a single compressor.

HEATING, UNITS WITH ECONOMI$ER IV — When the room temperature calls for heat, the heating controls are energized as described in the Heating, Units Without Econo- mizer section. The IFM is energized and the EconoMi$er IV damper modulates to the minimum position. When the thermo- stat is satisfied and W1 and W2 are deenergized, the IFM continues to run, and the economizer damper modulates to the minimum position.

SUBCOOLER HEAT EXCHANGER (SHX) — The purpose of the subcooler heat exchanger (SHX) and the subcooler TXV is to increase the capacity of the evaporator by sending subcooled liquid refrigerant into the evaporator. Normally, the condenser subcools the liquid refrigerant by approximately 10 F. The SHX adds another 10 F to 15 F degrees of subcooling before the refrigerant reaches the evaporator. This allows the refrigerant to absorb more heat from the mixed air, thereby providing more cooling capacity.

The subcooler functions by taking a small percentage of the high pressure, low temperature liquid refrigerant which exits the condenser and converting it into a low pressure, low tem- perature gas. This is accomplished by using the subcooler TXV. The gas is then routed through a reverse-flow heat exchanger (SHX), which transfers heat from the remaining liquid refrigerant in the liquid line to the reverse flow gas refrigerant. The moderate temperature gas is then sent to the compressor to complete the loop and the cooler liquid refriger- ant continues its normal path to the main TXV and the evaporator. See Fig. 30.
