Troubleshooting

Table 33: Outdoor air damper stays closed

	Probable cause	Explanation


		You can communicate a desired operating mode (such as OFF, HEAT, and COOL) to the controller. When
	Requested mode OFF	OFF is communicated to the controller, the unit controls the fan OFF. There is no heating or cooling
		(valves are closed).

		When the fan is OFF and the outdoor air temperature is below the freeze avoidance setpoint, the
	Freeze avoidance	controller disables economizing and keeps the outdoor air damper closed. This includes UNOCCUPIED
		mode when there is no call for capacity or any other time the fan is OFF.

	UNOCCUPIED mode	When the controller is in the UNOCCUPIED mode, the outdoor air damper remains closed unless
	UNOCCUPIED mode	economizing is enabled.
		economizing is enabled.

		The controller includes both a morning warm up and cool-down sequence to keep the outdoor air
	Warm up and cool-down	damper closed during the transition from UNOCCUPIED to OCCUPIED. This is an attempt to bring the
		space under control as quickly as possible.

		The controller opens and closes the outdoor air damper based on the controller's occupancy mode and
		fan operation. Normally, the outdoor air damper is open during OCCUPIED, OCCUPIED STANDBY, and
	Normal operation	OCCUPIED BYPASS mode when the fan is running and closed during UNOCCUPIED mode unless the
		controller is economizing. For more information see, Modulating Outdoor Air Operation, on page 43 for
		more information.)

		normal damper operation.

		The controller must be properly configured based on the actual installed end devices and application.
	Unit configuration	When the unit configuration does not match the actual end devices, the damper may not work
		correctly.

		The controller includes a manual output test sequence you can use to verify output operation and
