GENERAL
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ventilator should only be installed by a trained
heating and air conditioning technician. These
instructions serve as a guide to the technician installing
the ventilator package. They are not intended as a step
by step procedure with which the mechanically inclined
owner can install the package.
The ventilator housing is shipped in one carton which
contains the electrical harness, miscellaneous hardware
and installation instructions.
The economizer installation will function normally with
the 2-stage thermostats already specified for usage with
this 2-stage cooling unit.
If the “free cooling” of the economizer cannot keep up
with the cooling demand, it will de-energize the
economizer and will then operate on 2nd stage
mechanical cooling.
equipped with an economizer need to be equipped
with the low ambient control. For field installed
applications, install Bard Low Ambient Control Kit per
Table (below):
Because of this, all units
1G06W-1G42W6-AMC
S5GW-S3GW82-AMC
D1G06W-D1G42W82-AMC
DESCRIPTION
The WGEIFM-3C economizer is designed to be used
with Bard W24G to W36G 1-stage cooling, 1-stage
heating gas electric model wall mounts that are
equipped with fan cycling controls. The WGSEIFM-5
economizer is designed to be used with Bard WG*S 2stage cooling and W42-60G 1-stage cooling, 1-stage
heating gas electric model wall mounts that are
equipped with fan cycling controls. They are an
electromechanical economizer system designed to
provide “free” cooling where the outdoor air
temperature is cool enough to provide the needed
cooling without running the compressor. When cooling
is needed, the system automatically takes advantage of
the cold outdoor air when available, and uses it for first
stage cooling. Thus reducing the need to run the air
conditioning compressor – providing lower operating
costs and increasing the service life of the equipment. If
the outdoor air gets too warm or humid to be helpful, the
enthalpy control detects the condition and automatically
operates the internal damper and switches on the
mechanical cooling. This is all accomplished
automatically without attention from the user to achieve
maximum savings. See Figure 6 for a block diagram of
the economizer operation logic flow. The unit is
equipped with a full modulating type damper motor,
which controls the damper position to a factory set
minimum supply air temperature.
If using a Bard Master Controller, the Bard MC3000
controller is designed to control two (2) redundant Bard
Wall Mount units equipped with economizers. Refer to
the MC3000 Installation Manual (or consult Bard
Technical Service) for the required connections and
sequence of operation.
UNPACKING
Upon receipt of the equipment be sure to compare the
model number found on the shipping label with the
accessory identification information on the ordering and
shipping document to verify that the correct accessory
has been shipped.
Inspect the carton housing of each ventilator as it is
received, and before signing the freight bill, verify that
all items have been received and that there is no visible
damage. Note any shortages or damage on all copies of
the freight bill. The receiving party must contact the
last carrier immediately, preferably in writing,
requesting inspection by the carrier’s agent. Concealed
damage not discovered until after loading must be
reported to the carrier within 15 days of its receipt.
MODELS
When installed in model series (refer to Table 1), all
EIFM models provide built in exhaust provisions.
the damper blade opens to bring fresh air in, the damper
also opens an exhaust relief. The exhaust air will flow
into the condenser section of the unit. The condenser
fan will help draw exhaust air out.

5. Install ventilator sheet metal assembly by inserting
the ventilator into the unit – centering between the
tubing on the left and the control panel on the right.
Once the ventilator is fully inserted, slide the
ventilator to align screw hole through the front of
the condenser grille. (See Figure 2.)
IMPORTANT: Position front lip of ventilator on top of
front grille and condenser partition. (See Figure 2
inset.) This is important to ensure proper drainage
of any water entering damper assembly.
INSTALLATION OF ECONOMIZER
6. Open control panel to gain access to unit low
voltage terminal block.
7. Install loose piece wire harness plug into filter tray
& route wires into low volt box. (See Figure 3.)
(Save back two {2} long red wires with push-on
terminals.)
8. Plug wire plug from vent package installed in Steps
#1 through #6 into plug installed in Step #7.

13. Economizer Check Out
A.
Remove mist eliminator (Figure 2). Locate the
minimum position potentiometer. (See Figure 5.)
B. Energize the evaporator blower by switching
thermostat to the manual fan position with
heat/cool in the OFF position.
C. Cycle the minimum position potentiometer
(factory set for 0% fresh air) 0 to full open.
(See Figure 5.) Throughout checkout
procedure observe operation of damper to
insure there is free, unobstructed operation
through the entire angle of damper travel.
Then adjust the damper minimum open
position to meet local codes or application
requirements. See example below.
Manual 2100-498B
Page 7 of 17
EXAMPLE:
1. Measure return air temperature (RAT)
(assume 75° F for example).
2. Measure outdoor air temperature (OAT)
(assume 60° F for example).
3. Calculate the mixed air temperature (MAT)
which will result from the desired
combination of OAT (10 percent) and RAT
(90 percent).
.1 OAT + .9 RAT = MAT
or substituting example values
.1 (60° F) + .9 (75° F) = 73.75° F
4. Adjust the minimum position potentiometer
knob until proper mixed air temperature as
calculated above is reached. Care should
be taken to insure thermometer is sensing
air that is well mixed.
5. Mark correct setting on dial of minimum
position potentiometer for future reference.
D. Adjust the economizer logic module to
position A, B, C and D to achieve the
maximum combination of temperature and
humidity acceptable for the installation as per
Table 2. The suggested setting is between
A & B 70° DB @ 55 percent RH. It is
further recommended to always set the
control at C or above.) (See Figure 5.)
E. Switch the thermostat fan control to automatic
and position the heat/cool switch to cool.
Adjust the thermostat temperature to engage
the first stage of cooling only (Y). This will
cause the dampers to modulate to achieve
mixed air temperature of 55° provided outside
air enthalpy is sufficiently low. If enthalpy is
too high for economizing, low enthalpy can be
simulated by temporarily removing and
jumping leads on terminals 2 and 3 of
enthalpy control together. This will also cause
the economizer damper to modulate away
from minimum position. (Be sure to properly
reconnect leads at end of checkout
procedure).
F. Readjust temperature on the thermostat to
engage the second stage of cooling (Y2).
The damper motor should return to previously
set minimum position. Compressor motor
should start.
G. Switch thermostat to OFF fan and OFF heat/
cool positions to de-energize unit.
Economizer damper should return to full
closed (100 percent return air) position.
Checkout is complete.
14. Replace control access panel and mist eliminator.
15.
Remove blank off plate or barometric fresh air
damper if installed on the service access panel. Plug
the four (4) holes used to mount the BOP or BFAD
with the plastic plugs supplied with the economizer.
16. Replace service access panel.
17. Economizer is now ready for operation.

ECONOMIZER SEQUENCE OF
OPERATION
CONDITION A — COOL OUTDOORS
First stage cooling closes and powers the economizer
dampers to economizer mode and the indoor blower
starts. Mixed Air Sensor senses a mixture of return air
and outdoor air and modulates the dampers accordingly.
Compressor operation is inhibited. (See Figure 7.)
CALL FOR BLOWER OPERATION
If second stage closes on the thermostat, the dampers
return to the closed or minimum position setting and the
compressor starts for mechanical cooling.

CONDITION B — WARM OUTDOORS
First stage cooling cycles the compressor and dampers
remain in mechanical cooling mode.
