GENERAL
This book contains Controls, Start-Up, Operation, Service and
Troubleshooting information for the 48/50A Series rooftop
units. See Table 1. These units are equipped with ComfortLink
controls. Use this guide in conjunction with the separate installation instructions packaged with the unit. Refer to the Wiring
Diagrams literature for more detailed wiring information.
The A Series units provide ventilation, cooling, and heating
(when equipped) in variable air volume (VAV), variable volume
and temperature (VVT
tions. The A Series units contain the factory-installed Com-fortLink control system which provides full system management. The main base board (MBB) stores hundreds of unit
configuration settings and 8 time of day schedules. The MBB
also performs self diagnostic tests at unit start-up, monitors the
operation of the unit, and provides alarms and alert information.
The system also contains other optional boards that are connected to the MBB through the Local Equipment Network (LEN).
Information on system operation and status are sent to the MBB
processor by various sensors and optional boards that are located
at the unit. Access to the unit controls for configuration, setpoint
selection, schedule creation, and service can be done through a
®
), and constant volume (CV) applica-
unit-mounted scrolling marquee. Access can also be done

The ComfortLink system controls all aspects of the rooftop. It
controls the supply-fan motor, compressors, and economizers to
maintain the proper temperature conditions. The controls also
cycle or vary the speeds of the condenser fans to maintain suitable head pressure. All VAV units are equipped with a standard
VFD (variable frequency drive) for supply fan speed control and
supply duct pressure control. The ComfortLink controls adjust
the speed of the VFD based on a static pressure sensor input.
Constant volume (CV) units can be equipped with optional VFD
for staged air volume (SAV™) control. The indoor fan will operate at low speed for energy savings and high speed when required. In addition, the ComfortLink controls can raise or lower
the building pressure using multiple power exhaust fans controlled from economizer damper position or from a building
pressure sensor. The control safeties are continuously monitored
to ensure safe operation under all conditions. Sensors include
suction pressure transducers, discharge pressure transducers, and
saturated condensing temperature sensors which allow for display of operational pressures and saturation temperatures.
A scheduling function, programmed by the user, controls the
unit occupied/unoccupied schedule. Up to 8 different schedules
can be programmed. The controls also allow the service person
to operate a quick test so that all the controlled components can
be checked for proper operation.
Conventions Used in This Manual
The following conventions for discussing configuration points
for the local display (scrolling marquee or Navigator accessory) will be used in this manual. Point names will be written with
the Mode name first, then any sub-modes, then the point name,
each separated by an arrow symbol (). Names will also be
shown in bold and italics. As an example, the IAQ Economizer
Override Position which is located in the Configuration mode, Indoor Air Quality Configuration sub-mode, and the Air Quality
Setpoints sub-sub-mode, would be written as Configuration
IAQ
IAQ.SP
IQ.O.P. A list of point names can be found in
Appendix A.
This path name will show the user how to navigate through the
local display to reach the desired configuration. The user

would scroll through the modes and sub-modes using the
and keys. The arrow symbol in the path name represents
pressing to move into the next level of the menu
structure.
When a value is included as part of the path name, it will be
shown at the end of the path name after an equals sign. If the
value represents a configuration setting, an explanation will be
shown in parentheses after the value. As an example, Configu-
ration

AQ.CF
IQ.AC= 1 (IAQ Analog Input).
Pressing the and keys simultaneously at
any time will display an expanded text description of the fourcharacter point name. The expanded description is shown in
the local display tables (Appendix A).
The CCN point names are also referenced in the local display
tables for users configuring the unit with CCN software instead
of the local display. The CCN tables are located in Appendix B
of this manual.
BASIC CONTROL USAGE
ComfortLink Controls
The ComfortLink control system is a comprehensive unit-management system. The control system is easy to access, configure, diagnose and troubleshoot.
The control is flexible, providing two types of constant volume
cooling control sequences, two variable air volume cooling control sequences, and heating control sequences for two-stage electric and gas systems, and for multiple-stage gas heating, in both
occupied and unoccupied schedule modes. This control also
manages:
•VAV duct pressure (through optional VFD), with reset
•Building pressure through two different power exhaust
schemes
•Condenser fan cycling for mild ambient head pressure control
•Space ventilation control, in occupied and unoccupied periods, using CO
tion defined by damper position
•Smoke control functions
•Occupancy schedules
•Occupancy or start/stop sequences based on third party
signals
•Alarm status and history and run time data
•Management of a complete unit service test sequence
•Dehumidification (with optional reheat) and humidifier
sequences
System diagnostics are enhanced by the use of multiple external sensors for air temperatures, air pressures, refrigerant
temperatures, and refrigerant pressures. Unit-mounted actuators provide digital feedback data to the unit control.
The ComfortLink control system is fully communicating and cable-ready for connection to the Carrier Comfort Network
(CCN) building management system. The control provides highspeed communications for remote monitoring via the Internet.
Multiple units can be linked together (and to other ComfortLink
control equipped units) using a 3-wire communication bus.
The ComfortLink control system is easy to access through the
use of a unit-mounted display module. There is no need to
bring a separate computer to this unit for start-up. Access to
control menus is simplified by the ability to quickly select from
11 menus. A scrolling readout provides detailed explanations
sensors or external signals, with ventila-
2
of control information. Only four, large, easy-to-use buttons
are required to maneuver through the entire controls menu.
For added service flexibility, an accessory hand-held Navigator
module is also available. This portable device has an extended
communication cable that can be plugged into the unit’s communication network either at the main control box or at the opposite
end of the unit, at a remote modular plug. The Navigator display
provides the same menu structure, control access and display data
as is available at the unit-mounted scrolling marquee display.
Scrolling Marquee
This device is the standard interface used to access the control
information, read sensor values, and test the unit. The scrolling
marquee is located in the main control box. The scrolling marquee display is a 4-key, 4-character LED (light-emitting diode)
display module. The display also contains an Alarm Status LED.
See Fig. 1. The display is easy to operate using 4 buttons and a
group of 11 LEDs that indicate the following menu structures,
referred to as modes (see Appendix A):
•Run Status
•Service Test
•Temperatures
•Pressures
•Setpoints
•Inputs
•Outputs
•Configuration
•Time Clock
•Operating Modes
•Alarms
Through the scrolling marquee, the user can access all of the
inputs and outputs to check on their values and status, configure operating parameters plus evaluate the current decision status for operating modes. Because the A Series units are
equipped with suction pressure and saturated condensing temperature transducers, the scrolling marquee can also display refrigerant circuit pressures typically obtained from service gages. The control also includes an alarm history which can be accessed from the display. In addition, through the scrolling
marquee, the user can access a built-in test routine that can be
used at start-up commissioning to diagnose operational
problems with the unit.
®
Accessory Navigator™ Display
The accessory hand-held Navigator display can be used with
the A Series units. See Fig. 2. The Navigator display operates
the same way as the scrolling marquee device. The Navigator
display is plugged into the RJ-14 (LEN) jack in the main control box on the COMM board. The Navigator display can also
be plugged into the RJ-14 jack located on the ECB (economizer control board) located in the auxiliary control box.

All units are shipped from the factory with the scrolling marquee display, which is located in the main control box. See
Fig. 1. In addition, the ComfortLink controls also support the
use of the handheld Navigator display.
Both displays provide the user with an interface to the Com-fortLink control system. The displays have and arrow
keys, an key and an key. These keys are
used to navigate through the different modes of the display structure. The Navigator and the scrolling marquee displays operate
in the same manner, except that the Navigator display has multiple lines of display and the scrolling marquee has a single line.
All further discussions and examples in this document will be
based on the scrolling marquee display. See Table 2 for the menu
structure.
The four keys are used to navigate through the display structure, which is organized in a tiered mode structure. If the buttons have not been used for a period, the display will default to
the AUTO VIEW display category as shown under the RUN
STATUS category. To show the top-level display, press the
key until a blank display is shown. Then use the
and arrow keys to scroll through the top-level catego-
ries (modes). These are listed in Appendix A and will be indicated on the scrolling marquee by the LED next to each mode
listed on the face of the display.
When a specific mode or sub-mode is located, push the
key to enter the mode. Depending on the mode, there
may be additional tiers. Continue to use the and keys
and the keys until the desired display item is found.
At any time, the user can move back a mode level by pressing
the key. Once an item has been selected the display
will flash showing the item, followed by the item value and
then followed by the item units (if any).
Items in the Configuration and Service Test modes are password protected. The display will flash PASS and WORD when
required. Use the and arrow keys to enter the four
digits of the password. The default password is 1111.
Pressing the and keys simultaneously will
scroll an expanded text description across the display indicating
the full meaning of each display point. Pressing the
and keys when the display is blank (MODE LED level)
will return the display to its default menu of rotating AUTO
VIEW display items. In addition, the password will need to be entered again before changes can be made.
Changing item values or testing outputs is accomplished in the
same manner. Locate and display the desired item. If the dis-
play is in rotating auto-view, press the key to stop the
display at the desired item. Press the key again so
that the item value flashes. Use the arrow keys to change the
value of state of an item and press the key to accept
it. Press the key and the item, value or units display
will resume. Repeat the process as required for other items.
If the user needs to force a variable, follow the same process as
when editing a configuration parameter. A forced variable will
be displayed with a blinking “f” following its value. For example, if supply fan requested (FAN .F ) is forced, the display
shows “YESf”, where the “f” is blinking to signify a force on
the point. Remove the force by selecting the point that is forced
with the key and then pressing the and arrow
keys simultaneously.
Depending on the unit model, factory-installed options and
field-installed accessories, some of the items in the various
mode categories may not apply.
CCN Tables and Display
In addition to the unit-mounted scrolling marquee display, the
user can also access the same information through the CCN tables by using the Service Tool or other CCN programs. Details
on the CCN tables are summarized in Appendix B. The variable
names used for the CCN tables and the scrolling marquee tables
may be different and more items are displayed in the CCN tables. As a reference, the CCN variable names are included in the
scrolling marquee tables and the scrolling marquee names are included in the local display tables in Appendix B.
GENERICS STATUS DISPLAY TABLE
The GENERICS points table allows the service/installer the
ability to create a custom table in which up to 20 points from
the 5 CCN categories (Status, Config, Service-Config, Setpoint, and Maintenance) may be collected and displayed.
In the Service-Config table section, there is a table named “generics.” This table contains placeholders for up to 20 CCN point
names and allows the user to decide which points are displayed
in the GENERICS points table under the local display. Each one
of these placeholders allows the input of an 8-character ASCII
string. Using a CCN interface, enter the Edit mode for the Service-Config table “generics” and enter the CCN name for each
point to be displayed in the custom points table in the order they
will be displayed. When done entering point names, download
the table to the rooftop unit control.
IMPORTANT: The computer system software (ComfortVIEW™, Service Tool, etc.) that is used to interact
with CCN controls always saves a template of items it
considers as static (e.g., limits, units, forcibility, 24character text strings, and point names) after the software uploads the tables from a control. Thereafter, the
software is only concerned with run time data like
value and hardware/force status. With this in mind, it
is important that anytime a change is made to the Service-Config table “generics” (which in turn changes
the points contained in the GENERICS point table),
that a complete new upload be performed. This
requires that any previous table database be completely removed first. Failure to do this will not allow
the user to display the new points that have been created and the CCN interface will have a different table
database than the unit control.

CONTROLS QUICK START
The following section will provide a quick user guide to setting
up and configuring the A Series units with ComfortLink controls. See Basic Control Usage section on page 4 for information on operating the control. For wiring information, refer to
unit wiring diagrams in the Major System Components section
on page 110.
IMPORTANT: The ComfortLink controls provide the user
with numerous configuration options such as setpoints, demand levels, reset, and many others. If the building owner
or design engineer has not provided specific recommendations for these configuration settings, it is suggested that the
installer does not make changes to the default factory settings. The factory-configured default values are appropriate
for many applications.

Programming Operating Schedules
The ComfortLink controls will accommodate up to eight different
schedules (Periods 1 through 8), and each schedule is assigned to
the desired days of the week. Each schedule includes an occupied
on and off time. As an example, to set an occupied schedule for
8 AM to 5 PM for Monday through Friday, the user would set
days Monday through Friday to ON for Period 1. Then the user
would configure the Period 1 Occupied From point to 08:00 and
the Period 1 Occupied To point to 17:00. To create a different
weekend schedule, the user would use Period 2 and set days Saturday and Sunday to ON with the desired Occupied On and Off
times. To create a schedule, perform the following procedure:
NOTE: By default, the time schedule periods are programmed for
24 hours of occupied operation.
1. Scroll to the Configuration mode, and select CCN CONFIGURATION (CCN). Scroll down to the Schedule Number (Configuration

prompted to enter the password before any new data is accepted. SCH.N has a range of 0 to 99. The default value is
1. A value of 0 is always occupied, and the unit will control
to its occupied setpoints. A value of 1 means the unit will
follow a local schedule, and a value of 65 to 99 means it
will follow a CCN schedule. Schedules 2 to 64 are not used
as the control only supports one internal/local schedule. If
one of the 2 to 64 schedules is configured, then the control
will force the number back to 1. Make sure the value is set
to 1 to use a local schedule.
2. Enter the Time Clock mode. Scroll down to the LOCAL

SERVICE TEST
General
The units are equipped with a Service Test feature, which is intended to allow a service person to force the unit into different
modes of operation to test them. To use this feature, enter the
Service Test category on the local display and place the unit
into the test mode by changing Service Test
OFF to ON. The display will prompt for the password before
allowing any change. The default password is 1111. Once the
unit enters the Service Test mode, the unit will shut down all
current modes.
TEST
The TEST command turns the unit off (hard stop) and allows
the unit to be put in a manual control mode.
STOP
The STOP command completely disables the unit (all outputs
turn off immediately). Once in this mode, nothing can override
the unit to turn it on. The controller will ignore all inputs and
commands.
TEST from
S.STP
Setting Soft Stop to YES turns the unit off in an orderly way,
honoring any time guards currently in effect.
FAN.F
By turning the FAN FORCE on, the supply fan is turned on and
will operate as it normally would, controlling duct static pressure on VAV applications or just energizing the fan on CV applications. To remove the force, press ENTER and then press
the UP and DOWN arrows simultaneously.
F.4. CH
The 4-Inch Filter Change Mode variable is used to service the
unit when 4-in. filters are used. When the filters need to be
changed, set Service Test
F. 4 . C H = YES. The unit will be
placed in Service Test mode and the economizer will move to
the 40% open position to facilitate removal of the 4-in. filters.
After the filters have been changed, set Service Test= NO to return the unit to normal operation.
The remaining categories: INDP, FANS, COOL HEAT, andHMZR are sub-modes with separate items and functions. See

Service Test Mode Logic
Operation in the Service Test mode is sub-mode specific except for the Independent sub-mode. Leaving the sub-mode
while a test is being performed and attempting to start a different test in the new sub-mode will cause the previous test to terminate. When this happens, the new request will be delayed for
5 seconds. For example, if compressors were turned on under
the COOL sub-mode, any attempt to turn on heating stages
within the HEAT sub-mode would immediately turn off the
compressors and, 5 seconds later, the controller would honor
the requested heat stages.
However, it is important to note that the user can leave a Service Test mode to view any of the local display modes and the
control will remain in the Service Test mode.
Independent Outputs
The INDP sub-mode items can be turned on and off regardless
of the other category states. For example, the alarm relay can
be forced on in the INDP sub-mode and will remain on if compressor relays are requested in the COOL sub-mode.
Fans in Service Test Mode
Upon entering the FA NS sub-mode, the user will be able to
turn the supply fan on and off, set the supply fan VFD speed,
and turn the condenser fans on or off or adjust the speed for the
factory-installed optional Motormaster control: FANS MMF.A/MMF.B. Use FANS A.VFD / B.VFD to adjust the
Motormaster fan speed. For unit with Greenspeed/low ambient
option installed, use FANS
door fan speed.
OV.A/OV.B to adjust the out-
Cooling in Service Test Mode
The COOL sub-mode offers different cooling service tests.
The user has manual relay control of individual compressors. If
the cooling stage pattern request is set to zero, the user will have
the ability to manually control compressors. If the user energizes
mechanical cooling, the supply fan and the outdoor fans will be
started automatically. During mechanical cooling, the unit will
protect itself. Compressor diagnostics are active, monitoring for
high discharge pressure, low suction pressure, etc. The user can
also turn the minimum load valve on and off or set the digital
scroll capacity (on units equipped with this device).
NOTE: It is crucial that proper compressor rotation be verified
during the service test. Each compressor must be tested individually. After starting each compressor, the control will check the suction pressure after 5 seconds of run time. If the control does not
see a sufficient decrease in suction pressure after 5 seconds, mechanical cooling will be shut down, and an alarm will be generated
(A140). This alarm requires a manual reset. If this alarm occurs,
do not attempt a restart of the compressor and do not attempt to
start any other compressors until the wiring to the unit has been
corrected.
Heating in Service Test Mode
If unit has a thermostat connected (C.TYP = 3 or 4), install the
RED jumper wires between TB4, terminals R (1), W2 (3) and
W1 (4). Terminal block TB4 is located in the unit control box.
Remember to disconnect these jumpers when Test Mode is
completed. The Heat Test Mode sub-mode will offer automatic
fan start-up if the unit is not a gas heat unit. On gas heat units,
the IGC feedback from the gas control units will bring the fan
on as required.
Within this sub-mode, the user has control of heat relays 1 to 6.
The user can also turn on the requested heat stage.
NOTE: When service test has been completed, if unit has a thermostat connected (C.TYP = 3 or 4), remove the RED jumper
wires at TB4, terminals R (1), W2 (3) and W1 (4). Terminal block
TB4 is located in the unit control box. Store these jumpers in the
unit control box for future use.
Humidi-MiZer® System
In the Humidi-MiZer (HMZR) sub-menu, it will be possible to
control and calibrate the Humidi-MiZer modulating valves
(gas bypass and condenser) while the unit's compressors are
OFF. Calibration is a mode in which the unit software will first
over-drive each valve in the closing direction. This is to ensure
that the valve is completely shut and to establish the “zero”
open position. The controller then keeps track of the valve's
position for normal operation. During this calibration phase, a
light ratcheting sound may be heard and will serve as proof of
valve operation and closure. Note that the calibration feature in
Service Test is only provided as an additional troubleshooting
tool. The valves will automatically go through the calibration
process anytime the unit is powered down, unit power is cycled, or anytime there is a loss of communication between the
EXV (electronic expansion valve) board and the valve. There
should be no need to manually calibrate the valves under normal circumstances.
This sub-menu also allows manual manipulation of RHV (reheat
3-way valve), the bypass valve, and condenser valve. With the
compressors and outdoor fans off, the user should hear a light
ratcheting sound during movement of the two modulating
valves. The sound can serve as proof of valve operation.

Remote Switch
The remote switch may be configured for three different functions. Under Configuration
following:
0 = no remote switch
1 = occupied/unoccupied switch
2 = start/stop switch
3 = occupancy override switch
With RM.CF set to 1, no time schedules are followed and the
unit follows the remote switch only in determining the state of
occupancy.
With RM.CF set to 2, the remote switch can be used to shut
down and disable the unit, while still honoring time guards on
compressors. Time schedules, internal or external, may be run
simultaneously with this configuration.
With RM.CF set to 3, the remote input may override an unoccupied state and force the control to go into occupied mode. As
with the start/stop configuration, an internal or external time
schedule may continue to control occupancy when the switch
is not in effect.
Under Configuration
pancy switch can be set to either a normally open or normally
closed switch input. Normal is defined as either unoccupied,

VFD Control
On VFD equipped supply fans, supply duct static pressure control may be left under unit control or be externally controlled.
To control a VFD externally with a 4 to 20 mA signal, set
SP.RS to 4, under the Configuration
the reset to VFD control. When SP.RS = 4, the static pressure
reset function acts to provide direct VFD speed control where 4
mA = 0% speed and 20 mA = 100% (SP.MN and SP.MX will
override). Note that SP.CF must be set to 1 (VFD Control) pri-
or to configuring SP.RS = 4. Failure to do so could result in
damage to ductwork due to overpressurization. In effect, this
represents a speed control signal “pass through” under normal
SP menu. This will set

operating circumstances. The ComfortLink controller overrides
the third party signal for critical operation situations, most notably smoke and fire control. Wire the input to the controls expansion module (CEM) using TB-11 and 12. An optional CEM
board is required.
See Appendix C and the VFD literature supplied with the unit
for VFD configurations and field wiring connections to the
VFD.
Supply Air Reset
With the installation of the CEM, the ComfortLink controller is
capable of accepting a 4 to 20 mA signal, to reset the supplyair temperature up to a maximum of 20°F. See VFD Control
section above.
Demand Limit Control
The term “demand limit control” refers to the restriction of the
machine’s mechanical cooling capacity to control the amount
of power that a machine may use.
Demand limiting using mechanical control is possible via two
means:
1.Two discrete inputs tied to demand limit setpoint percentages.
2.A 4 to 20 mA input that can reduce or limitcapacity linearly
to a setpoint percentage.
In either case, it will be necessary to install a controls expansion module (CEM).
DEMAND LIMIT DISCRETE INPUTS
First, set DM.L.S in Configuration
When Inputs
OFF, the control will not set any limit to the capacity, and when
ON, the control sets a capacity limit to the Configuration
DMD.L
Likewise, when Inputs

and when ON, the control sets a capacity limit to the Configu-
ration

Under Configuration
ately for the action desired. Set the DL1.L and DL2.L configurations. They can be set normally open or normally closed. For
example, if DL1.L is set to OPEN, the user will need to close
the switch to cause the control to limit capacity to the demand
limit 1 setpoint. Likewise, if DL1.L is set to CLSE (closed), the
user will need to open the switch to cause the control to limit
capacity to the demand limit 1 setpoint.
DEMAND LIMIT 4 TO 20 MA INPUT
Under Configuration
(2 = 4 to 20 mA control). Under the same menu, set D.L.20 to a
value from 0 to 100% to set the demand limit range. For example, with D.L.20 set to 50, a 4 mA signal will result in no limit to
the capacity and 20 mA signal will result in a 50% reduction in
capacity.

IAQ DISCRETE INPUT CONFIGURATION
The IAQ discrete input configuration requires a CEM module
(optional) to be installed and an interface to a switch input at
TB5-13 and 14. The state of the input on the display can be
found at Inputs
Before configuring the switch functionality, first determine
how the switch will be read. A closed switch can indicate either a low IAQ condition or a high IAQ condition. This is set at

SW.LG and IAQ.L. The user can set what a
low reading would mean based on the type of switch being
used. Setting IAQ.L to OPEN means that when the switch is
open the input will read LOW. When the switch is closed, the
input will read HIGH. Setting IAQ.L to CLSE (closed) means
that when the switch is closed the input will read LOW, and
therefore, when the switch is open the switch will read HIGH.
There are two possible configurations for the IAQ discrete input. Select item Configuration
and configure for either 1 (IAQ Discrete) or 2 (IAQ Discrete
Override).
IQ.I.C = 1 (IAQ Discrete)
If the user sets IQ.I.C to 1 (IAQ Discrete), and the switch logic

If the switch is open, the economizer will be commanded to the
IAQ Demand Vent Minimum Position.
These settings may be adjusted and are located at Configura-
tion

If the switch is closed, the IAQ reading will be high and the
economizer will be commanded to the Economizer Minimum

IAQ ANALOG INPUT CONFIGURATION
This input is an analog input located on the main base board
(MBB). There are 4 different functions for this input. The location of this configuration is at Configuration
AQ.CF
The functions possible for IQ.A.C are:
•0 = no IAQ analog input

IQ.A.F (IAQ 4 to 20 mA Fan Configuration). There are three
configurations for IQ.A.F and they follow the same logic as for

Minimum Position Override input will start the fan, and in
which state of occupancy the fan will start.
IQ.A.F = 0IAQ analog sensor input cannot start the sup-
ply fan
IQ.A.F = 1 IAQ analog sensor input can start the supply
fan in occupied mode only
IQ.A.F = 2 IAQ analog sensor input can start the supply
fan in both occupied and unoccupied modes
If IQ.A.F is configured to request the supply fan, then configurations D.F.ON and D.F.OF need to be set. These configura-
tion settings are located under Configuration
IAQ
AQ.SP and configure the fan override operation based on the
differential air quality (DAQ). If DAQ rises above D.F.ON, the
control will request the fan on until DAQ falls below D.F.OF.
NOTE: If D.F.ON is configured below DAQ.H, the unit is in oc-
cupied mode, and the fan was off, then DAQ rose above D.F.ON
and the fan came on, the economizer will go to the economizer
minimum position (EC.MN).
The 4 to 20 mA signal from the sensor wired to TB5-6 and 7 is
scaled to an equivalent indoor CO

economizer damper is moved back to the minimum vent position (EC.MN).
NOTE: Configuration OAQ.U is used in the calculation of the trip

IAQ
IQ.A.C = 3 (4 to 20 mA Damper Control)
This configuration will provide full 4 to 20 mA remotely controlled analog input for economizer minimum damper position.
The 4 to 20 mA signal is connected to terminals TB5-6 and 7.
The input is processed as 4 mA = 0% and 20 mA = 100%,
thereby giving complete range control of the effective minimum position.
The economizer sequences can be disabled by setting Configu-
ration
ECON
E.SEL to 0. Complete control of the econ-
omizer damper position is then possible by using a 4 to 20 mA
economizer minimum position control or a 0 to 10,000 ohms 0
to 100% economizer minimum position control via configuration decisions at Configuration
This configuration will provide input for a 10 kilo-ohm linear
potentiometer that acts as a remotely controlled analog input for
economizer minimum damper position. The input is processed
as 0 ohms = 0% and 10,000 ohms = 100%, thereby giving complete range control of the effective minimum position.
CONTROLS OPERATION
Modes
The ComfortLink controls operate under a hierarchy of command structure as defined by three essential elements: the System mode, the HVAC mode and the Control mode. The System
mode is the top level mode that defines three essential states
for the control system: OFF, RUN, and TEST.
The HVAC mode is the functional level underneath the System
mode which further defines the operation of the control. The
mode selection process is shown in Appendix D.
The Control mode is essentially the control type of the unit
(Configuration
the control looks to establish a cooling or heating mode and
whether 2 stages or multiple stages of cooling capacity operation are controlled.
Furthermore, there are a number of modes which operate concurrently when the unit is running. The operating modes of the
control are located at the local displays under OperatingModes. See Table 31.

Unit Configuration Submenu
The UNIT sub-menu under the Configuration mode of the local display contains general unit configuration items. The submenu which contains these configurations is located at the local display under Configuration
Machine Control Type (C.TYP)
This configuration defines the control type and control source
responsible for selecting a cooling, heating, or vent mode and
determines the method by which compressors are staged. The
control types are:
•C.TYP = 1 (VAV-RAT) and C.TYP = 2 (VAV-S PT )
Both of these configurations refer to standard VAV opera-
tion. If the control is occupied, the supply fan is run continuously and return-air temperature will be used in the
determination of the selection of a cooling mode. VAV-SPT
differs from VAV-RAT only in that during the unoccupied
period, space temperature will be used instead of return-air
temperature to start the fan for 10 minutes to establish an
accurate return-air temperature before the return-air
temperature is allowed to call out any mode.
•C.TYP = 3 (TSTAT-MULTI)
This configuration will force the control to monitor the ther-
mostat inputs to make a determination of mode. Unlike traditional 2-stage thermostat control, the unit is allowed to use
multiple stages of cooling control and perform VAV-type
operation. The control will be able to call out a LOW
COOL or a HIGH COOL mode and maintain a low or high
cool supply air setpoint.
•C.TYP = 4 (TSTAT-MULTI2)
This configuration will force the control to monitor the ther-
mostat inputs to make a determination of mode and allow
only multiple stages of control for both heating and cooling.
UNIT. See Table 32.
Table 32 — Unit Configuration
•C.TYP = 5 (SPT-MULTI)
This configuration will force the control to monitor a
space temperature sensor to make a determination of
mode. Unlike traditional 2-stage space temperature control, the unit is allowed to use multiple stages of cooling
control and perform VAV-type operation. The control will
be able to call out a LOW COOL or a HIGH COOL mode
and maintain a low or high cool supply air setpoint.
•C.TYP = 6 (SPT-MULTI2)
This configuration will force the control to monitor the
space temperature sensor to make a determination of mode
and allow multiple stages of control for both heating and
cooling.
Fan Mode (CV.FN)
The Fan Mode configuration can be used for machine control
types (Configuration
UNIT
C.TYP) 3, 4, 5, and 6. The
Fan Mode variable establishes the operating sequence for the
supply fan during occupied periods. When set to 1 (Continuous), the fan will operate continuously during occupied periods. When set to 0 (Automatic), the fan will run only during a
heating or cooling mode.
Remote Switch Config (RM.CF)
The remote switch input is connected to TB6 terminals 1 and 3.
This switch can be used for several remote control functions.
Please refer to the Remote Control Switch Input section on
page 80 for details on its use and operation.

The sensors and configurations that automatically turn on this
board are:
Temperature Compensated Start Cooling Factor (TCS.C)
This factor is used in the equation of the Temperature Compensated Start Time Bias for cooling. Refer to the Temperature
Compensated Start section on page 76 for more information. A
setting of 0 minutes indicates Temperature Compensated Start
in Cooling is not permitted.
Temperature Compensated Start Heating Factor (TCS.H)
This factor is used in the equation of the Temperature Compensated Start Time Bias for heating. Refer to the Temperature
Compensated Start section for more information. A setting of 0
minutes indicates Temperature Compensated Start in Heating
is not permitted.
Fan Fail Shuts Downs Unit (SFS.S)
This configuration will determine whether the unit should shut
down on a supply fan status fail or simply alert the condition
and continue to run. If set to YES, then the control will shut
down the unit and send out an alarm if supply fan status monitoring fails. If set to NO, the control will not shut down the unit
if supply fan status monitoring fails but the control will send
out an alert.
Fan Status Monitoring (SFS.M)
This configuration selects the type of fan status monitoring to
be performed.

runs but concludes a valid demand condition does not exist, then
the process is not permitted for the period of time defined by this
configuration. Reducing this value allows a more frequent resampling process. Setting this value to zero will prevent any
sampling sequence.
Unit Size (SIZE)
There are several unit sizes (tons) for the A Series control. Make
sure this configuration matches the size called out by the model
number of the unit. This is important as the cooling stage tables
are directly determined based on this configuration.
Discharge Pressure Transducers (DP.XR)

Suction Pressure Transducer Type (SP.XR)
This configuration specifies the type of suction pressure transducer that is being used. Set SP.XR to 0 for support of a pressure
transducer with a range of 0 to 135 psig. Set SP.XR to 1 for sup-
port of a pressure transducer with a range of 0 to 200 psig.
NOTE: The 48/50A units do not require a change to the SP.XR
factory default setting.
Refrigerant Type (RFG.T)
This configuration specifies the type of refrigerant used in the
unit. Configuration RFG.T is set to 0 if the refrigerant used is
R-22. Configuration RFG.T is set to 1 if the refrigerant used is
R-410A. Do not change this setting.
Condenser Type (CND.T)
This configuration specifies the type of condenser installed in
the unit. Configuration CND.T is set to 0 if the condenser is a
round tube, plate fin coil (RTPF). Configuration CND.T is set
to 1 if the condenser is a microchannel heat exchanger coil
(MCHX).
MAT Calc Config (MAT.S)
This configuration gives the user three options in the processing of the mixed-air temperature (MAT) calculation:
•MAT.S = 0
There will be no MAT calculation.
•MAT.S = 1
The control will attempt to learn MAT over time. Any time the
system is in a vent mode and the economizer stays at a particular position for long enough, MAT is set to equal EDT. Using
this, the control has an internal table whereby it can more
closely determine the true MAT value.
•MAT.S = 2
The control will not attempt to learn MAT over time.
To calculate MAT linearly, the user should reset the MAT table
entries by setting MAT.R to YES. Then set MAT.S = 2. The con-
trol will calculate MAT based on the position of the economizer,
outside-air temperature, and return-air temperature.
To freeze the MAT table entries, let the unit run with MAT.S = 1.
Once sufficient data has been collected, change MAT.S = 2. Do
not reset the MAT table.
Reset MAT Table Entries? (MAT.R)
This configuration allows the user to reset the internally stored
MAT learned configuration data back to the default values. The
defaults are set to a linear relationship between the economizer
damper position and OAT and RAT in the calculation of MAT.
MAT Outside Air Position Default (MAT.D)
This configuration is used to calculate MAT when the economizer option is disabled. The configuration is adjustable from
0 to 100% outside air. This defines the fixed ventilation position that will be used to correctly calculate MAT.
Altitude……..In Feet: (ALTI)
The control does not include a barometric pressure sensor to determine altitude. The altitude must be defined the calculation of enthalpy and cfm. The altitude parameter is used to set up a default
barometric pressure for use with calculations. The effect of barometric pressure in these calculations is not great, but could have an
effect depending on the installed elevation of the unit. If the unit is
installed at a particularly high altitude and enthalpy or cfm are being calculated, set this configuration to the current elevation.
32
Start Up Delay Time (DLAY)
This option delays the unit from operating after a power reset.
The configuration may be adjusted from 0 to 900 seconds of
delay.
TSTAT — Both Heat and Cool (STAT)
When this configuration is set to yes the TSTAT alert for simultaneous Heat and Cool calls is disabled. This will not allow
heating and cooling to operate simultaneously.
Auxiliary Relay Configuration (AUX.R)
This option configures the auxiliary relay on the MBB
(RLY11). The function of this relay is configurable in the following ways:
•AUX.R = 0 (Alarm Output) — The relay is used for remote annunciation of an alarm state.
•AUX.R = 1 (Dehum-Reheat) — The relay is used as a dehumidification/reheat output.
•AUX.R = 2 (Occup. State) — The relay is used to reflect
occupancy. When the control is in occupied mode, the relay will be ON. When the control is in unoccupied mode,
the relay will be OFF.
•AUX.R = 3 (S. Fan State) — The relay is used to reflect
the supply fan commanded state. When the supply fan is
on, the relay will be ON. When the supply fan is off, the
relay will be OFF.
Space Temp Sensor (SPT.S)
If a space temperature sensor is installed, this configuration
should be enabled.
Space Temp Offset Sensor (SP.O.S)
If a space temperature sensor with a space temperature offset
slider is installed (T56), this configuration should be enabled.
Space Temp Offset Range (SP.O.R)
If a space temperature offset sensor is installed, it is possible
to configure the range of the slider by adjusting this range
configuration.
Return RH Sensor (RRH.S)
If a return air relative humidity sensor is installed, this configuration should be enabled.
Filter Status Switch Enabled? (FLT.S)
If a filter status switch is installed, enable this configuration to
begin the monitoring of the filter status input (Inputs
FLT.S). See the Dirty Filter Switch section on page 60 for
more details on installation and operation.
GEN.I
Cooling Control
When mechanical cooling is required, the A Series ComfortLink
control system has the capability to control the staging of the
compressors in several different ways. Three scroll compressors
are used on sizes 020 to 027 and four on sizes 030 to 060. In addition, the ComfortLink control system supports the use of an
optional minimum load hot gas bypass valve (MLV) that is directly controlled by the ComfortLink control system. This provides an additional stage of capacity as well as low load coil
freeze protection. The control also integrates the use of an economizer with the use of mechanical cooling to allow for the greatest use of free cooling. When both mechanical cooling and the
economizer are being used, the control will use the economizer
to provide better temperature control and limit the cycling of the
compressors. The control also checks on various other operation
parameters in the unit to make sure that safeties are not exceeded
and the compressors are reliably operated.
The A Series ComfortLink control system offers two basic
control approaches to mechanical cooling. Constant volume
operation for 2 stages of cooling or VAV operation for multiple
stages of cooling. In addition to these methods of control, the A
Series ComfortLink control offers the ability to run multiple
stages of cooling for either a space temperature sensor or thermostat by controlling the unit to either a low or high cool supply air set point. The control type (ConfigurationC.TYP) determines the selection of the type of cooling control
as well as the method for selecting a cooling mode.
There are either three or four compressors divided among two
refrigeration circuits in the unit. Circuit A always contains two
compressors (A1,A2). Circuit B has either one or two compressors (B1,B2). There may be a minimum load valve (MLV),
which, if present, is only associated with circuit A. The decision as to which compressor should be turned on or off is decided by the compressor’s availability followed by a preferred
staging order.
NOTE: Configuration of the machine control type (C.TYP) has
no effect on whether a unit has a VFD or just a supply fan installed for static pressure control. No matter what the control
type is, it is possible to run the unit in either CV or VAV mode
provided there are enough stages to accommodate lower air volumes for VAV operation. Refer to the section on static pressure
control for information on how to set up the unit for the type of
supply fan control desired.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
Machine Control Type (Configuration
The most important cooling control configuration is located
under Configuration
This configuration defines the method and control source responsible for selecting a cooling mode. The configuration also
determines the method by which compressors are staged. Control types are:
•C.TYP= 1 (VAV-RAT) and C.TYP = 2 (VAV- SP T)
Both of these configurations refer to standard VAV opera-
tion. If the control is occupied, the supply fan is run continuously and return-air temperature will be used for both
in the determination of the selection of a cooling mode.
VAV-SPT differs from VAV-RAT only in that during the
unoccupied period, space temperature will be used instead
of return-air temperature to start the fan for 10 minutes
before the return-air temperature is allowed to call out any
mode.
•C.TYP= 3 (TSTAT-MULTI)
This configuration will force the control to monitor the
thermostat inputs to make a determination of mode.
Unlike traditional 2-stage thermostat control, the unit is
allowed to use multiple stages of cooling control and perform VAV style operation. The control will be able to call
out a LOW COOL or a HIGH COOL mode and maintain a
low or high cool supply air setpoint.
•C.TYP = 4 (TSTAT-MULTI2)
This control is the same as C.TYP=3.
•C.TYP = 5 (SPT-MULTI)
This configuration will force the control to monitor a
space temperature sensor to make a determination of
mode. Unlike traditional 2-stage space temperature control, the unit is allowed to use multiple stages of cooling
control and perform VAV style operation. The control will
be able to call out a LOW COOL or a HIGH COOL mode
and maintain a low or high cool supply air setpoint.
•C.TYP = 6 (SPT-MULTI2)
This Control is the same as C.TYP = 5.

Unit Size (SIZE)
There are several unit sizes (tons) for the A Series control. Make
sure this configuration matches the size called out by the model
number of the unit. This is important as the cooling stage tables
are directly determined based on this configuration.
Refrigerant Type (RFG.T)
This configuration specifies the type of refrigerant used in the
unit. Configuration RFG.T is set to 0 if the refrigerant used is
R-22. Configuration RFG.T is set to 1 if the refrigerant used is
R-410A. Make sure this configuration matches the refrigerant
called out by the model number of the unit.
Condenser Type (CND.T)
This configuration specifies the type of condenser installed in
the unit. Configuration CND.T is set to 0 if the condenser is a
round tube, plate fin coil (RTPF). Configuration CND.T is set to
1 if the condenser is a microchannel heat exchanger (MCHX)
coil. Make sure this configuration matches the condenser type
called out by the model number of the unit.
SETPOINTS
The setpoints for both cooling and heating are located at the lo-
cal display under Setpoints. See Table 34.
SUPPLY AIR RESET CONFIGURATION
Supply Air Reset can be used to modify the current cooling supply
air setpoint. Supply Air Reset is applicable to control types,
C.TYP = 1, 2, 3, and 5. The configurations for reset can be found
at the local display under Configuration
EDT.R. See Table 35.
EDT Reset Configuration (RS.CF)
This configuration applies to several machine control types
(Configuration
UNIT
C.TYP = 1,2,3, and 5).
•0 = NO RESET
No supply air reset is in effect.
•1 = SPT RESET
Space temperature will be used as the reset control vari-
able along with both RTIO and LIMT in the calculation of
the final amount of reset to be applied (Inputs
SA.S.R).
RSET
•2 = RAT RESET
Return-air temperature will be used as the reset control vari-
able along with both RTIO and LIMT in the calculation of
the final amount of reset to be applied (Inputs
RSET
SA.S.R).
•3 = 3RD PARTY RESET
The reset value is determined by a 4 to 20 mA third party
input. An input of 4 mA would correspond to 0ºF reset. An
input of 20 mA would correspond to 20ºF reset. Configuring the control for this option will cause RES.S to become
enabled automatically with the CEM board. To avoid
alarms make sure the CEM board and third party input are
connected first before enabling this option.
Reset Ratio (RTIO)
This configuration is used when RS.CF is set to 1 or 2. For every degree that the controlling temperature (space/return) falls
below the occupied cooling setpoint (OCSP), the calculated
value of the supply air reset will rise by the number of degrees
as specified by this parameter.
Reset Limit (LIMT)
This configuration is used when RS.CF is set to 1 or 2. This
configuration places a clamp on the amount of supply air reset
that can be applied.
EDT 4-20 mA Reset Input (RES.S)
This configuration is automatically enabled when Configura-
tion

COOLING CONFIGURATION
Relevant configurations for mechanical cooling are located at the
local display under Configuration
COOL. See Table 36. These
"MM" points are only shown for units with Design Series 1, 2, and
3. For Design Series 4 and above, the points for the Outdoor VFD
are called "OV" points rather than "MM" points. (M.M. is only applicable for factory-installed Motor Master Option unit. OV.EN is
only for Greenspeed or Low Ambient option unit.)
Capacity Threshold Adjust (Z.GN)
This configuration is used for units using the “SumZ” algorithm
for cooling capacity control (Configuration
UNIT
C.TYP =
1, 2, 3, or 4). The configuration affects the cycling rate of the cooling stages by raising or lowering the threshold that demand must
rise above in order to add or subtract a stage of cooling.
Normally this configuration should not require any tuning or adjustment. If there is an application where the unit may be significantly oversized and there are indications of high compressor cycles, then the Capacity Threshold Adjust (Z.GN) can be used to
adjust the overall logic gain. Normally this is set to 1.0, but it can
be adjusted from 0.5 to 4.0. As the value of Z.GN is increased, the
cycling of cooling stages will be slowed.
Compressor Lockout Temperature (MC.LO)
This configuration defines the outdoor air temperature below
Motormaster or Greenspeed/low ambient control, it will be necessary for an operator to manually change this setting based on the
intended operational ambient condition. This configuration will
have a range of –20 to 55°F and have a default of 40°F.
Fan-Off Delay, Mech Cool (C.FOD)
After a mechanical cooling cycle has ended, this is the delay in
seconds that the supply fan will continue to operate.
Min. Load Valve (HGBP)? (MLV)
This configuration instructs the control as to whether a minimum load valve has been installed and will be controlled by
the compressor staging routine.
NOTE: If the unit is configured for a Digital Scroll (Configura-
tion

MLV = ENABLE), then circuit A is always the lead circuit regardless of the setting of this configuration.
This configuration must be set to 1 (CIRCUIT A) for size 30 to 60
units if a factory-installed Motormaster V operation control is installed on the unit. If the unit is configured for the Humidi-MiZer
adaptive dehumidification system, then circuit B automatically becomes the lead circuit when the unit enters into one of the HumidiMiZer modes (dehumidification or reheat). The unit will immediately start a circuit B compressor when a Humidi-MiZer mode is
initiated.

The 48/50A Series units with ComfortLink controls include a
compressor protection board (CSB) that protects the operation
of each of the compressors. These boards sense the presence or
absence of current to each compressor.
If there is a command for a compressor to run and there is no
current, then one of the following safeties or conditions have
turned the compressor off:
•Compressor overcurrent — Smaller compressors have internal line breaks and larger compressors have a dedicated
circuit breaker for overcurrent protection.
•Compressor short circuit — The compressor circuit breaker that provides short circuit protection has tripped then
there will not be current.
•Compressor motor over temperature — The internal linebreak or over temperature switch has opened.
•High-pressure switch trip — High-pressure switch has
opened.
Alarms will also occur if the current sensor board malfunctions
or is not properly connected to its assigned digital input. If the
compressor is commanded OFF and the Current Sensor reads
ON, an alert is generated. This will indicate that a compressor
contactor has failed closed. In this case, a special mode “Compressor Stuck on Control” will be enabled and all other compressors will be turned off and an alarm enabled to indicate that
service is required. Indoor and outdoor fans will continue to
operate. The first outdoor fan stage is turned on immediately.
The second fan stage will turn on when outdoor-air temperature (OAT) rises above 75°F or the highest active circuit saturated condensing temperature (SCT) rises above the HPSP and
remains on until the condition is repaired regardless of the
OAT and SCT values.
Any time the alert occurs, a strike is called out on the affected
compressor. If three successive strikes occur the compressor
will be locked out requiring a manual reset or power reset of
the circuit board. The clearing of strikes during compressor operation is a combination of 3 complete cycles or 15 continuous
minutes of run time operation. If there are one or two strikes on
the compressor and three short cycles (ON-OFF, ON-OFF,
ON-OFF) less than 15 minutes each occur, the strikes are reset
to zero for the affected compressor. If the compressor turns on
and runs for 15 minutes straight with no compressor failure,
the compressor strikes are cleared.
Additionally, some units contain Copeland compressors
equipped with advanced scroll temperature protection (ASTP).
A label located above the terminal box identifies Copeland
Scroll compressor models that contain this technology. See
Fig. 4. Advanced scroll temperature protection is a form of internal discharge temperature protection that unloads the scroll
compressor when the internal temperature reaches approximately 300°F. At this temperature, an internal bi-metal disk
valve opens and causes the scroll elements to separate, which
stops compression. Suction and discharge pressures balance
while the motor continues to run. The longer the compressor
runs unloaded, the longer it must cool before the bi-metal disk
resets. See Fig. 5.
T
o manually reset ASTP, the compressor should be stopped
and allowed to cool. If the compressor is not stopped, the motor will run until the motor protector trips, which occurs up to
90 minutes later. Advanced scroll temperature protection will
reset automatically before the motor protector resets, which
may take up to 2 hours.
COMPRESSOR TIME GUARDS
The control will not allow any output relay to come on within
3 seconds of any other output relay. For outputs connected to
the compressors, the control will use a Compressor Minimum
OFF Time of 2 minutes, a Compressor Minimum ON Time of
3 minutes and a Minimum Delay before turning on another
compressor of 10 seconds.

The A Series ComfortLink controls offer three distinct methods by which it may select a cooling mode.
1. Thermostat (C.TYP = 3 and 4): The thermostat does not de-
pend upon the state of occupancy and the modes are called
out directly by the discrete inputs from the thermostat (In-
puts

Y1 and Y2).
2. Occupied VAV cooling types (C.TYP = 1 and 2) are called
out in the occupied period (Operating Modes

OCC = ON).
3. Unoccupied VAV cooling types (C.TYP = 1 and 2) are called
out in the unoccupied period (Operating Modes
OCC = OFF). They are also used for space sensor control
MODE
types (C.TYP = 5 and 6) in both the occupied and unoccupied periods.
This section is devoted to the process of cooling mode determination for the three types outlined above.
VAV Cool Mode Selection during the Occupied Period
(C.TYP = 1,2 and Operating Modes
MODE
OCC = ON)
There is no difference in the selection of a cooling mode for either VAV-RAT or VAV-SPT in the occupied period. The actual
selection of a cool mode, for both control types, is based upon
the controlling return-air temperature (Temperatures

air temperature thermistor (Temperatures

except when under CCN Linkage.

Cool Mode Determination
If the machine control type (Configuration
UNIT
C.TYP) = 1 (VAV-RAT) or 2 (VAV-SPT) and the control is occupied (Operating Modes
MODE
OCC = ON), then the
unit will not follow the occupied cooling setpoint (OCSP). Instead, the control will follow two offsets in the determination
of an occupied VAV cooling mode (Setpoints
Setpoints
V. C . O F ), applying them to the low-heat off trip
V. C . O N and
point and comparing the resulting temperature to the return-air
temperature.
The Setpoints
points
V. C . O N (VAV cool mode on offset) and Set-
V. C . O F (VAV cool mode off offset) offsets are used
in conjunction with the low heat mode off trip point to determine when to bring cooling on and off and in enforcing a true
“vent” mode between heating and cooling. See Fig. 6. The occupied cooling setpoint is not used in the determination of the
cool mode. The occupied cooling setpoint is used for supply air
reset only.
The advantage of this offset technique is that the control can
safely enforce a vent mode without worrying about crossing
setpoints. Even more importantly, under CCN linkage, the occupied heating setpoint may drift up and down and this method
ensures a guaranteed separation in degrees Fahrenheit between
the calling out of a heating or cooling mode at all times.
NOTE: There is a sub-menu at the local display (Run Status
TRIP) that allows the user to see the exact trip points for both the
heating and cooling modes without having to calculate them. Refer to the Cooling Mode Diagnostic Help section on page 42 for
more information.
To enter into a VAV Occupied Cool mode, the controlling temperature must rise above [OHSP minus L.H.ON plus L.H.OF
plus V. C . O N ].
To exit out of a VAV Occupied Cool mode, the controlling temperature must fall below [OHSP minus L.H.ON plus L.H.OF
plus V. C . O N minus V. C . O F ].
NOTE: With Vent mode, it is possible to exit out of a cooling
mode during the occupied period if the return-air temperature
drops low enough. When supply-air temperature reset is not configured, this capability will work to prevent over-cooling the space
during the occupied period.
Supply Air Setpoint Control and the Staging of Compressors
Once the control has determined that a cooling mode is in effect, the cooling control point (Run Status
VIEW
CL.C.P) is calculated and is based upon the supply air setpoint
(Setpoints

RSET
SA.S.R).
Refer to the SumZ Cooling Algorithm section on page 42 for a
discussion of how the A Series ComfortLink controls manage
the staging of compressors to maintain supply-air temperature.
VAV Cool Mode Selection during the Unoccupied Period
(C.TYP = 1,2; Operating Modes
MODE
OCC=OFF)
and Space Sensor Cool Mode Selection (C.TYP = 5 and 6)
The machine control types that use this type of mode selection are:
•C.TYP = 1 (VAV-RAT) in the unoccupied period
•C.TYP = 2 (VAV-SPT) in the unoccupied period
•C.TYP = 5 (SPT-MULTI) in both the occupied and unoccupied period
•C.TYP = 6 (SPT-MULTI2) in both the occupied and unoccupied period
These particular control types operate differently than the VAV
types in the occupied mode in that there is both a LOW COOL
and a HIGH COOL mode. For both of these modes, the control
offers two independent setpoints, Setpoints
LOW COOL mode) and Setpoints
SA.HI (for HIGH COOL
SA.LO (for
mode). The occupied and unoccupied cooling setpoints can be
found under Setpoints.

Cool Mode Evaluation Logic
The first thing the control determines is whether the unit is in
the occupied mode (OCC) or is in the temperature compensated start mode (T.C .S T). If the unit is occupied or in temperature compensated start mode, the occupied cooling setpoint
(OCSP) is used. For all other modes, the unoccupied cooling
setpoint (UCSP) is used. For further discussion and simplification this will be referred to as the “cooling setpoint.” See
Fig. 7.
Demand Level Low Cool On Offset (L.C.ON)
This is the cooling setpoint offset added to the cooling setpoint
at which point a Low Cool mode starts.
Demand Level High Cool On Offset (H.C.ON)
This is the cooling setpoint offset added to the “cooling setpoint plus L.C.ON” at which point a High Cool mode begins.
Demand Level Low Cool Off Offset (L.C.OF)
This is the cooling setpoint offset subtracted from “cooling setpoint plus L.C.ON” at which point a Low Cool mode ends.
NOTE: The “high cool end” trip point uses the “low cool off”
(L.C.OF) offset divided by 2.
To enter into a LOW COOL mode, the controlling temperature
must rise above the cooling setpoint plus L.C.ON.
To enter into a HIGH COOL mode, the controlling temperature
must rise above the cooling setpoint plus L.C.ON plus H.C.ON.
To exit out of a LOW COOL mode, the controlling temperature
must fall below the cooling setpoint plus L.C.ON minus L.C.OF.
To exit out of a HIGH COOL mode, the controlling temperature must fall below the cooling setpoint plus L.C.ON minus
L.C.OF/2.
Comfort Trending
In addition to the setpoints and offsets which determine the trip
points for bringing on and off cool modes, there are 2 configurations which work to hold off the transitioning from a low
cool to a high cool mode if the space is cooling down quickly
enough. This method is referred to as Comfort Trending. The
comfort trending configurations are C.T.LV and C.T.TM.
Cool Trend Demand Level (C.T.LV)
This is the change in demand that must occur within the time period specified by C.T.TM in order to hold off a HIGH COOL mode
regardless of demand. This is not applicable to VAV control types
(C.TYP = 1 and 2) in the occupied period. As long as a LOW
COOL mode is making progress in cooling the space, the control
will hold off on the HIGH COOL mode. This is especially true for
the space sensor machine control types (C.TYP = 5 and 6), because they may transition into the occupied mode and see an immediate large cooling demand when the setpoints change.
Cool Trend Time (C.T.TM)
This is the time period upon which the cool trend demand level
(C.T.LV) operates and may hold off staging or a HIGH COOL
mode. This is not applicable to VAV control types (C.TYP = 1
and 2) in the occupied period. See the Cool Trend Demand
Level section for more details.
Timeguards
In addition to the setpoints and offsets which determine the trip
points for bringing on and off cool modes there is a timeguard
of 8 minutes which enforces a time delay between the transitioning from a low cool to a high cool mode. There is a
timeguard of 5 minutes which enforces a time delay between
the transitioning from a heat mode to a cool mode.
Supply Air Setpoint Control
Once the control has determined that a cooling mode is in effect,
the cooling control point (Run Status
culated and is based upon either Setpoints
SA.LO, depending on whether a high or a low cooling mode is
VIEW
CL.C.P) is cal-
SA.HI or Setpoints
in effect, respectively. In addition, if supply air reset is configured,
it will also be added to the cooling control point.
Refer to the SumZ Cooling Algorithm section for a discussion of
how the A Series ComfortLink controls manage supply-air temperature and the staging of compressors for these control types.
Thermostat Cool Mode Selection (C.TYP = 3 and 4)
When a thermostat type is selected, the decision making process
involved in determining the mode is straightforward. Upon energizing the Y1 input only, the unit HVAC mode will be LOW
COOL. Upon the energizing of both Y1 and Y2 inputs, the unit
HVAC mode will be HIGH COOL. If just input G is energized the
unit HVAC mode will be VENT and the supply fan will run.
Selecting the C.TYP = 3 (TSTAT – MULTI) or C.TYP = 4
(TSTAT – MULTI2) control type will cause the control to do
the following:
•The control will read the Configuration
UNIT
configuration parameter to determine the number of cooling stages and the pattern for each stage.
•An HVAC mode equal to LOW COOL will cause the unit
to select the Setpoints
SA.LO setpoint to control to. An
HVAC mode equal to HIGH COOL will cause the unit to
select the Setpoints
SA.HI setpoint to control to. Supply
air reset (if configured) will be added to either the low or
high cool setpoint.
•The control will utilize the SumZ cooling algorithm and
control cooling to a supply air setpoint. See the SumZ
Cooling Algorithm section for information on controlling
to a supply air setpoint and compressor staging.
39
SIZE
Staging of compressors is shown in Tables 38-45.
EDT Low Override
There is an override if EDT drops too low based on an alert
limit that will lock out cooling. If the supply air/evaporator discharge temperature (EDT) falls below the alert limit (Configu-
ration
ALLMSA.L.O) cooling will be inhibited. There is a
20-minute hold off on starting cooling again once the following statement is true: EDT minus (Run Status
COOL
SUMZADD.R) has risen above SA.L.O. The variable
ADD.R is one of the SumZ cooling algorithm control variables
dedicated mainly for multi-stage control.
Cooling Control and the Economizer
TRIM For SUMZ = NO
ECON
E.TRM = NO
Cooling control will first check for the availability of the economizer. If free cooling can be used, then the control will first
attempt to use the free cooling.
If no mechanical cooling is active, and the economizer is active,
the economizer will first attempt to control to a cooling control
point of either the supply air setpoint high (SA.HI) or supply air
If one stage of mechanical cooling is on, and the economizer is
active, then the economizer will attempt to control to 53°F.
Also If HVAC mode = LOW COOL, the second stage of mechanical cooling will be locked out.
If the setpoint cannot be satisfied or the economizer is not active, then cooling will be brought on one stage at a time when
the evaporator discharge temperature (EDT) is greater the
1.5°F above the current cooling control point. A start-up time
delay of 10 minutes and steady state delay after a compressor is
energized of 5 minutes is enforced.
If both circuits of mechanical cooling are running, then the
economizer will attempt to control to 48°F. If the economizer is
active and the outside-air temperature (OAT) is less than the
cooling control point + 0.5°F, the compressors will be locked
off. When mechanical cooling is on, the control may also use
the economizer to trim the leaving-air temperature to prevent
unnecessary cycles of the compressor stages.

holding off of mechanical cooling as well as the economizer
control point.

SUMZ COOLING ALGORITHM
The SumZ cooling algorithm is an adaptive PID which is used
by the control whenever more than 2 stages of cooling are present (C.TYP = 1,2,3, and 5). This section will describe its operation and define its parameters. It is generally not necessary to
modify parameters in this section. The information is presented
primarily for reference and may be helpful for troubleshooting
complex operational problems.
The only configuration parameter for the SumZ algorithm is
located at the local display under Configuration
COOL
Z.GN. See Table 36.
Capacity Threshold Adjust (Z.GN)
This configuration is used on units using the “SumZ” algorithm for cooling capacity control (Configuration
UNIT
C.TYP = 1, 2, 3 and 5). It affects the cycling rate of the cooling
stages by raising or lowering the threshold that capacity must
overcome in order to add or subtract a stage of cooling.
The cooling algorithm’s run-time variables are located at the
local display under Run Status
COOL. See Table 47.

Current Running Capacity (C.CAP)
This variable represents the amount of capacity in percent that
is currently running.
Current Cool Stage (CUR.S)
This variable represents the cool stage currently running.
Maximum Cool Stages (MAX.S)
This variable is the maximum number of cooling stages the
control is configured for and capable of controlling.
Active Demand Limit (DEM.L)
If demand limit is active, this variable will represent the
amount of capacity that the control is currently limited to.
Capacity Load Factor (SMZ)
This factor builds up or down over time (–100 to +100) and is
used as the means of adding or subtracting a cooling stage
during run time. It is a normalized representation of the relationship between “Sum” and “Z.”
Next Stage EDT Decrease (ADD.R)
This variable represents (if adding a stage of cooling) how
much the temperature should drop in degrees depending on the
R.PCT calculation and exactly how much additional capacity
is to be added.
ADD.R = R.PCT * (C.CAP — capacity after adding a cooling
stage)
For example: If R.PCT = 0.2 and the control would be adding
20% cooling capacity by taking the next step up, 0.2 times 20 =
4°F (ADD.R).
Next Stage EDT Increase (SUB.R)
This variable represents (if subtracting a stage of cooling)
how much the temperature should rise in degrees depending
on the R.PCT calculation and exactly how much capacity is
to be subtracted.
SUB.R = R.PCT * (C.CAP — capacity after subtracting a
cooling stage)
For Example: If R.PCT = 0.2 and the control would be subtracting 30% capacity by taking the next step down, 0.2 times –30 =
–6°F (SUB.R).
Rise Per Percent Capacity (R.PCT)
This is a real time calculation that represents the amount of degrees of drop/rise across the evaporator coil versus percent of
current running capacity.
R.PCT = (MAT – EDT)/ C.CAP
Cap Deadband Subtracting (Y.MIN)
This is a control variable used for Low Temp Override
(L.TMP) and Slow Change Override (SLOW).
Y.MIN = -SUB.R*0.4375
Cap Deadband Adding (Y.PLU)
This is a control variable used for High Temp Override
(H.TMP) and Slow Change Override (SLOW).

Cap Threshold Adding (Z.PLU)
This parameter is used in the calculation of SumZ and is calculated as follows:
Z.PLU = Configuration

(-ADD.R))) * 0.6
High Temp Cap Override (H.TMP)
If stages of mechanical cooling are on and the error is greater
than twice Y.PLU, and the rate of change of error is greater
than 0.5F per minute, then a stage of mechanical cooling will
be added every 30 seconds. This override is intended to react to
situations where the load rapidly increases.
Low Temp Cap Override (L.TMP)
If the error is less than twice Y.MIN, and the rate of change of
error is less than –0.5F per minute, then a mechanical stage
will be removed every 30 seconds. This override is intended to
quickly react to situations where the load is rapidly reduced.
Pull Down Cap Override (PULL)
If the error from setpoint is above 4F, and the rate of change
is less than –1F per minute, then pulldown is in effect, and
“SUM” is set to 0. This keeps mechanical cooling stages from
being added when the error is very large, but there is no load in
Z.GN * (–10 + (4*
Z.GN * (10 + (4*

the space. Pulldown for units is expected to rarely occur, but is
included for the rare situation when it is needed. Most likely
pulldown will occur when mechanical cooling first becomes
available shortly after the control goes into an occupied mode
(after a warm unoccupied mode).
Slow Change Cap Override (SLOW)
With a rooftop unit, the design rise at 100% total unit capacity
is generally around 30F. For a unit with 4 stages, each stage
represents about 7.5F of change to EDT. If stages could reliably be cycled at very fast rates, the setpoint could be maintained very precisely. Since it is not desirable to cycle compressors more than 6 cycles per hour, slow change override takes
care of keeping the PID under control when “relatively” close
to setpoint.
SumZ Operation
The SumZ algorithm is an adaptive PID style of control. The
PID is programmed within the control and the relative speed of
staging can only be influenced by the user through the adjustment of the Z.GN configuration. The capacity control algorithm uses a modified PID algorithm, with a self adjusting gain
which compensates for varying conditions, including changing
flow rates across the evaporator coil.
Previous implementations of SumZ made static assumptions
about the actual size of the next capacity jump up or down.
This control uses a “rise per percent capacity” technique in the
calculation of SumZ, instead of the previous “rise per stage”
method. For each jump, up or down in capacity, the control will
know beforehand the exact capacity change brought on. Better
overall staging control can be realized with this technique.
SUM Calculation — The PID calculation of the “SUM” is
evaluated once every 80 seconds.
SUM = Error + “SUM last time through” + (3 * Error Rate)
Where:
SUM = the PID calculation, Error = EDT – Cooling Control
Point, Error Rate = Error – “Error last time through”
NOTE: “Error” is limited to between –50 and +50 and “Error
rate” is limited to between –20 and +20.
This “SUM” will be compared against the “Z” calculations in de-
termining whether cooling stages should be added or subtracted.
Z Calculation — For the “Z” calculation, the control attempts
to determine the entering and the leaving-air temperature of the
evaporator coil and based upon the difference between the two
during mechanical cooling, and then determines whether to add
or subtract a stage of cooling. This is the adaptive element.
The entering-air temperature is referred to as MAT (mixed-air
temperature) and the leaving-air temperature of the evaporator
coil is referred to as EDT (evaporator discharge temperature).
They are found at the local display under the Temperatures
CTRL sub-menu.
The main elements to be calculated and used in the calculation
of SumZ are:
1) the rise per percent capacity (R.PCT)
2) the amount of expected rise for the next cooling stage addition
3) the amount of expected rise for the next cooling stage
subtraction
The calculation of “Z” requires two variables, Z.PLU used
when adding a stage and Z.MIN used when subtracting a stage.
They are calculated with the following formulas:
Where:
Z.GN = configuration used to modify the threshold levels used
for staging (Configuration
COOL
Z.GN)
ADD.R = R.PCT * (C.CAP – capacity after adding a cooling
stage)
SUB.R = R.PCT * (C.CAP – capacity after subtracting a cool-
ing stage)
Both of these terms, Z.PLU and Z.MIN, represent a threshold
both positive and negative to which the “SUM” calculation
must build up to cause the compressor to stage up or down.
Comparing SUM and Z — The “SUM” calculation is compared against Z.PLU and Z.MIN.
•If “SUM” rises above Z.PLU, a cooling stage is added.
•If “SUM” falls below Z.MIN, a cooling stage is subtracted.
There is a variable called SMZ which is described in the SumZ
Cooling Algorithm section and which can simplify the task of
watching the demand build up or down over time. It is calculated as follows:
If SUM is positive: SMZ = 100*(SUM/Z.PLU)
If SUM is negative: SMZ = –100*(SUM/Z.MIN)
Mixed Air Temperature Calculation (MAT)
The mixed-air temperature is calculated and is a function of the
economizer position. Additionally there are some calculations
in the control which can zero in over time on the relationship of
return and outside air as a function of economizer position.
There are two configurations which relate to the calculation of
“MAT.” These configurations can be located at the local display under Configuration

DEFAULTS
MAT Calc Config (MAT.S) —This configuration gives the
user two options in the processing of the mixed-air temperature
(MAT) calculation:
•MAT.S = 0
There will be no MAT calculation.
•MAT.S = 1
The control will attempt to learn MAT over time. Any time the
system is in a vent mode and the economizer stays at a particular position for long enough, MAT = EDT. Using this method,
the control has an internal table whereby it can more closely
determine the true MAT value.
•MAT.S = 2
The control will not attempt to learn MAT over time.
To calculate MAT linearly, the user should reset the MAT table
entries by setting MAT.R to YES. Then set MAT.S = 2. The
control will calculate MAT based on the position of the economizer and outside air and return air temperature.
To freeze the MAT table entries, let the unit run with MAT.S = 1.
Once sufficient data has been collected, change MAT.S = 2. Do
not reset the MAT table.
Reset MAT Table Entries? (MAT.R) —This configuration al-
lows the user to reset the internally stored MAT learned configuration data back to the default values. The defaults are set to a
linear relationship between the economizer damper position
and OAT and RAT in the calculation of MAT.
SumZ Overrides
There are a number of overrides to the SumZ algorithm which
may add or subtract stages of cooling.
•High Temp Cap Override (H.TMP)
•Low Temp Cap Override (L.TMP)
•Pull Down Cap Override (PULL)
•Slow Change Cap Override (SLOW)
44
Economizer Trim Override
The unit may drop stages of cooling when the economizer is performing free cooling and the configuration Configuration
ECON
E.TRM is set to Yes. The economizer controls to the
same supply air setpoint as mechanical cooling does for SumZ
when E.TRM = Yes. This allows for much tighter temperature
control as well as cutting down on the cycling of compressors.
For a long cooling session where the outside-air temperature
may drop over time, there may be a point at which the economizer has closed down far enough were the unit could remove
a cooling stage and open up the economizer further to make up
the difference.
Mechanical Cooling Lockout (Configuration
COOL
MC.LO)
This configuration allows a configurable outside-air temperature setpoint below which mechanical cooling will be completely locked out.
DEMAND LIMIT CONTROL
Demand Limit Control may override the cooling algorithm to
limit or reduce cooling capacity during run time. The term Demand Limit Control refers to the restriction of machine capacity to control the amount of power that a machine will use. This
can save the owner money by limiting peaks in the power supply. Demand limit control is intended to interface with an external Loadshed Device either through CCN communications,
external switches, or 4 to 20 mA input.
The control has the capability of loadshedding and limiting in 3
ways:
•Two discrete inputs tied to configurable demand limit setpoint percentages.
•An external 4 to 20 mA input that can reset capacity back
linearly to a setpoint percentage.
•CCN loadshed functionality.
NOTE: It is also possible to force the demand limit variable (Run
Status
COOL
DEM.L).
To use Demand Limiting, select the type of demand limiting to
use. This is done with the Demand Limit Select configuration
(Configuration
DMD.L
DM.L.S).
To view the current demand limiting currently in effect, look at

The configurations associated with demand limiting can be
viewed at the local display at Configuration
DMD.L. See
Table 48.
Demand Limit Select (DM.L.S)
This configuration determines the type of demand limiting.
•0 = NONE — Demand Limiting not configured.
•1 = 2 SWITCHES — This will enable switch input demand limiting using the switch inputs connected to the
CEM board. Connections should be made to TB6-4, 5, 6.
•2 = 4 to 20 mA — This will enable the use of a remote 4 to
20 mA demand limit signal. The CEM module must be
used. The 4 to 20 mA signal must come from an externally
sourced controller and should be connected to TB6-7, 8.
•3 = CCN LOADSHED — This will allow for loadshed and
red lining through CCN communications.
Two-Switch Demand Limiting (DM.L.S = 1) — This type of
demand limiting utilizes two discrete inputs:
Demand Limit Switch 1 Setpoint (D.L.S1) — Dmd Limit
Switch Setpoint 1 (0 to 100% total capacity)
Demand Limit 2 Setpoint (D.L.S2) — Dmd Limit Switch Set-

4-20 mA Demand Limiting (DM.L.S = 2) — If the unit has
been configured for 4 to 20 mA demand limiting, then the In-
puts
4-20
DML.M value is used to determine the amount
of demand limiting in effect (Run Status
COOL
DEM.L). The Demand Limit at 20 mA (D.L.20) configuration
must be set. This is the configured demand limit corresponding
to a 20 mA input (0 to 100%).
The value of percentage reset is determined by a linear interpolation from 0% to “D.L.20”% based on the Inputs
4-20
DML.M input value.
The following examples illustrate the demand limiting (Run

amount of current seen at the 4 to 20 mA input, DML.M.
CCN Loadshed Demand Limiting (DM.L.S = 3) — If the unit
has been configured for CCN Loadshed Demand Limiting,
then the demand limiting variable (Run Status
COOL
DEM.L) is controlled via CCN commands.
The relevant configurations for this type of demand limiting are:
Loadshed Group Number (SH.NM) — CCN Loadshed Group
number
Loadshed Demand Delta (SH.DL) — CCN Loadshed Demand

Maximum Loadshed Time (SH.TM) — CCN Maximum Load-
shed time

The Loadshed Group Number (SH.NM) corresponds to the
loadshed supervisory device that resides elsewhere on the CCN
network and broadcasts loadshed and redline commands to its
associated equipment parts. The SH.NM variable will default to
zero which is an invalid group number. This allows the loadshed
function to be disabled until configured.
Upon reception of a redline command, the machine will be prevented from starting if it is not running. If it is running, then
DEM.L is set equal to the current running cooling capacity (Run
Status
COOL
C.CAP).
Upon reception of a loadshed command, the DEM.L variable is
set to the current running cooling capacity (Run Status
COOL
C.CAP) minus the configured Loadshed Demand
Delta (SH.DL).
A redline command or loadshed command will stay in effect
until a Cancel redline or Cancel loadshed command is received, or until the configurable Maximum Loadshed time
(SH.TM) has elapsed.
HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL
Head pressure refers to the refrigerant pressure at the discharge
side of the compressor. Thus it is sometimes refers to as “discharge pressure.” Head pressure control for will be managed directly by the ComfortLink controls (no third party control).
The head pressure control stages fixed speed fans and modulating
fans, if available, to maintain the head pressures of circuit A and
circuit B within acceptable ranges. For controls purpose, the head
pressures are converted to saturated condensing temperatures
(SCTs) as the feedback information to the condenser fans (also referred to as “outdoor fans”). SCT.A is the saturated condensing
temperature for refrigeration Circuit A, and SCT.B is the saturated
condensing temperature for refrigeration Circuit B. There are a total of up to 6 condenser fans (depending on unit size and installed
options) for controlling the head pressures of the 2 refrigeration
circuits, of which up to 3 fans can be controlled by each VFD
(variable frequency drive) upon installation option.
The control described in this document is also referred to as
condenser fan control. Where Greenspeed
it may also be referred to as low ambient control.
The Greenspeed/low ambient or the factory-installed Motormaster
control will be directly implemented in the ComfortLink software. It is not compatible with the field-installed Motormaster V
control as found in CESR131343-07-xx and earlier software versions that used an accessory with part numbers
CRLOWAMB018A00 through CRLOWAMB026A00. These
field-installed accessory Motormaster V speed controls are completely self-contained control units and are not controlled by the
unit’s ComfortLink controller. On 48/50A 060 RTPF units with 6
fan motors, the Motormaster control configuration (M.M.) must
be set to YES for this field-installed option.
Head Pressure Control Operation
Condenser head pressure control for the 48/50A Series rooftops is controlled discretely by the unit, except when the unit is
equipped and configured for Greenspeed/low ambient or factory-installed Motormaster Option control where head pressures
would be controlled via factory-installed VFDs. For a unit with
the factory-installed Motormaster option, the control would be
able to cycle up to three stages of outdoor fans (see Table 49)
to maintain acceptable head pressure.
For 48/50A units, fan stages react to discharge pressure transducers (DPT) (Pressures
connected to the compressor discharge piping in circuit A and B.
The control converts the pressures to the corresponding saturated
condensing temperatures (Te mp e ra t ur e sSCT.B).

Head Pressure Algorithm
The following logic will describe the head pressure control
routine when any compressor has been commanded on:
•CD.F.A = ON
•If the highest active circuit SCT is above the HPSP:
•If OAT is above 75°F: CD.F.A = ON and CD.F.B = ON
•If the SCT on an active circuit drops 20°F below the HPSP
The details of fan staging are summarized in Fig. 8 and 9 for
each scenario.
FA NS
CD.F.B = ON
(until OAT temperature drops below 73°F or the compressors are turned off)
for 2 minutes: CD.FB = OFF*
* For 60 ton size units not configured for Greenspeed/low
ambient control or factory-installed Motormaster option,
the control stages down differently than the other units.
Because the condenser fan relays each turn on a different
number of outdoor fans, the control, when staging down
will first turn off condenser fan relay A and then in 2 more
minutes will turn off relay B and turn back on relay A.

Heating Control
The A Series ComfortLink control system offers control for 3
different types of heating systems to satisfy general space heating requirements: 2-stage gas heat, 2-stage electric heat and
multiple-stage (staged) gas heat.
Variable air volume (VAV) type applications (C.TYP = 1, 2, 3,
or 5) require that the space terminal positions be commanded
to open to Minimum Heating positions when gas or electric
heat systems are active, to provide for the unit heating system’s
Minimum Heating Airflow rate.
For VAV applications, the heat interlock relay (HIR) function
provides the switching of a control signal intended for use by
the VAV terminals. This signal must be used to command the
terminals to open to their Heating Open positions. The HIR is
energized whenever the Heating mode is active, an IAQ preoccupied force is active, or if fire smoke modes, pressurization,
or smoke purge modes are active.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
The heating configurations are located at the local display un-
der Configuration
Heating Control Type (HT.CF)
The heating control types available are selected with this variable.
0 = No Heat
1 = Electric Heat
2 = 2 Stage Gas Heat
3 = Staged Gas Heat
Heating Supply Air Setpoint (HT.SP)
In a low heat mode for staged gas heat, this is the supply air
setpoint for heating.
Occupied Heating Enable (OC.EN)
This configuration only applies when the unit’s control type (Con-
figuration
2 (VAV-SPT). If the user wants to have the capability of performing heating throughout the entire occupied period, then this configuration needs to be set to “YES.” Most installations do not require this capability, and if heating is installed, it is used to heat the
building in the morning. In this case set OC.EN to “NO.”
NOTE: This unit does not support simultaneous heating and cooling. If significant simultaneous heating and cooling demand is expected, it may be necessary to provide additional heating or cooling equipment and a control system to provide occupants with
proper comfort.
MBB Sensor Heat Relocate (LAT.M)
This option allows the user additional performance benefit when
under CCN Linkage for the 2-stage electric and gas heating
types. As two-stage heating types do not “modulate” to a supply
air setpoint, no leaving air thermistor is required and none is provided. The evaporator discharge thermistor, which is initially installed upstream of the heater, can be repositioned downstream
and the control can expect to sense this heat. While the control
does not need this to energize stages of heat, the control can wait
for a sufficient temperature rise before announcing a heating
mode to a CCN linkage system (ComfortID™). For units with
Humidi-MiZer option: either 1 or 4 thermistors can be repositioned downstream.
If the sensor is relocated, the user will now have the capability
to view the leaving-air temperature at all times at Temp er a-
tures
NOTE: If the user does not relocate this sensor for the 2-stage
electric or gas heating types and is connected with CCN Linkage,
then the control will send a heating mode (if present) unconditionally to the linkage coordinator in the CCN zoning system regardless of the leaving-air temperature.

HEAT MODE SELECTION PROCESS
There are two possible heat modes that the control will call out
for heating control: HVAC Mode = LOW HEAT and HVAC
Mode = HIGH HEAT. These modes will be called out based on
control type (C.TYP).
VAV-RAT (C.TYP = 1) and VAV-SPT (C.TYP = 2)
There is no difference in the selection of a heating mode for either
VAV-RAT or VAV-SPT, except that for VAV-SPT, space temperature is used in the unoccupied period to turn on the supply fan for
10 minutes before checking return-air temperature. The actual se-
There is no difference in the selection of a heat mode between the
control types SPT Multi-Stage2 or SPT multi-stage. For a valid
heating type selected (HT.CF not equal to zero) the unit is free to
select a heating mode based on space temperature (SPT).
If the unit is allowed to select a heat mode, then the next step is an
evaluation of demand versus setpoint. At this point, the logic is the
same as for control types VAV-RAT and VAV-SPT (C.TYP = 1,2),
except for the actual temperature compared against setpoint. See
Temperature Driven Heat Mode Evaluation section.
TEMPERATURE DRIVEN HEAT MODE EVALUATION
This section discusses the control method for selecting a heating
mode based on temperature. Regardless of whether the unit is configured for return air or space temperature, the logic is exactly the
same. For the rest of this discussion, the temperature in question
will be referred to as the “controlling temperature.”
First, the occupied and unoccupied heating setpoints under Set-points must be configured.
lection of a heat mode, LOW or HIGH for both control types, will
be based upon the controlling return-air temperature.
With sufficient heating demand, there are still conditions that
will prevent the unit from selecting a heat mode. First, the unit
must be configured for a heat type (Configuration
HT.CF not equal to “NONE”). Second, the unit has a con-
HEAT
figuration which can enable or disable heating in the occupied
period except for a standard morning warm-up cycle (Configu-
ration
HEAT
OC.EN). (Morning warm up is a Linkage
function.) See descriptions in the Setting Up the System section for more information.
If the unit is allowed to select a heat mode, then the next step is an
evaluation of demand versus setpoint. At this point, the logic is the
same as for control types SPT Multi-Stage and SPT-2 Stage,
(C.TYP = 5,6) except for the actual temperature compared against
setpoint. See Temperature Driven Heat Mode Evaluation section.
Tstat-Multi-Stage (C.TYP=3) and Tstat-Multi-Stage2 (C.TYP=4)
There is no difference in the selection of a heat mode between
the control types TSTAT multi-stage2 or TSTAT multi-stage.
These selections only refer to how cooling will be handled.
With thermostat control the W1 and W2 inputs determine
whether the HVAC Mode is LOW or HIGH HEAT.
With thermostat control the W1 and W2 inputs determine
whether the HVAC Mode is LOW or HIGH HEAT.

out but an alert (T422) will be generated. See Alarms and Alerts on

The first thing the control determines is whether the unit is in

compensated start mode, the occupied heating setpoint
(OHSP) is used. In all other cases, the unoccupied heating setpoint (UHSP) is used.
The control will call out a low or high heat mode by comparing
the controlling temperature to the heating setpoint and the heating
setpoint offset. The setpoint offsets are used as additional help in
customizing and tweaking comfort into the building space.

This is the change in demand that must be seen within the time
period specified by H.T.TM in order to hold off a HIGH HEAT
mode regardless of demand. This is not applicable to VAV control types (C.TYP=1 and 2) in the occupied period. This method
of operation has been referred to as “Comfort Trending.” As
long as a LOW HEAT mode is making progress in warming the
space, the control will hold off on a HIGH HEAT mode. This is
relevant for the space sensor machine control types (C.TYP = 5
and 6) because they may transition into the occupied mode and
see an immediate and large heating demand when the setpoints
change.
Heat Trend Time (H.T.TM)
This is the time period upon which the heat trend demand level
(H.T.LV) operates and may work to hold off staging or a HIGH

(C.TYP=1 and 2) in the occupied period. See Heat Trend Demand Level section for more details.
HEAT MODE DIAGNOSTIC HELP
To quickly determine the current trip points for the low and
high heat modes, there is a menu in the local display which lets
the user quickly view the state of the system. This menu also
contains the cool trip points as well. See Table 51 at the local

The controlling temperature is “TEMP” and is in the middle of
the table for easy reference. Also, the “HVAC” mode can be
viewed at the bottom of the table.
Two-Stage Gas and Electric Heat Control (HT.CF=1,2)
If the HVAC mode is LOW HEAT:
•If Electric Heat is configured, then the control will request
the supply fan ON
•If Gas Heat is configured, then the IGC indoor fan input
controls the supply fan request
•The control will turn on Heat Relay 1 (HS1)
•If Evaporator Discharge Temperature is less than 50°F,
then the control will turn on Heat Relay 2 (HS2)*
*The logic for this “low heat” override is that one stage of
heating will not be able to raise the temperature of the supply
airstream sufficient to heat the space.
If the HVAC mode is HIGH HEAT:
•If Electric Heat is configured, then the control will request
the supply fan ON
•If Gas Heat is configured, then the IGC indoor fan input

HT.CF = 3 (Staged Gas Heating Control)
As an option, the units with gas heat can be equipped with
staged gas heat controls that will provide from 5 to 11 stages of
heat capacity. This is intended for tempering mode and tempering economizer air when in a cooling mode and the dampers
are fully closed. Tempering can also be used during a pre-occupancy purge to prevent low temperature air from being delivered to the space. Tempering for staged gas will be discussed in
its own section. This section will focus on heat mode control,
which ultimately is relevant to tempering, minus the consideration of the supply air heating control point.
The staged gas configurations are located at the local display

Staged Gas Heating Logic
If the HVAC mode is HIGH HEAT:
•The supply fan for staged gas heating is controlled by the
integrated gas control (IGC) boards and, unless the supply
fan is on for a different reason, it will be controlled by the
IGC indoor fan input.
•Command all stages of heat ON.
If the HVAC mode is LOW HEAT:
•The supply fan for staged gas heating is controlled by the
integrated gas control (IGC) boards and, unless the supply
fan is on for a different reason, it will be controlled by the
IGC indoor fan input.
•The unit will control stages of heat to the heating control
point (Run Status
VIEW
HT.C.P). The heating control point in a LOW HEAT HVAC mode for staged gas is
the heating supply air setpoint (Setpoints
SA.HT).
Staged Gas Heating PID Logic
The heat control loop is a PID (proportional/integral/derivative) design with exceptions, overrides, and clamps. Capacity
rises and falls based on setpoint and supply-air temperature.
When the staged gas control is in Low Heat or Tempering
Mode (HVAC mode), the algorithm calculates the desired heat
capacity.
The basic factors that govern the controlling method are:
•how fast the algorithm is run.
•the amount of proportional and derivative gain applied.
•the maximum allowed capacity change each time this algorithm is run.
•deadband hold-off range when rate is low.
This routine is run once every HT.TM seconds. Every time the
routine is run, the calculated sum is added to the control output
value. In this manner, integral effect is achieved. Every time
this algorithm is run, the following calculation is performed:
Error = HT.C.P – LAT
Error_last = error calculated previous time
P = HT.P*(Error)
D = HT.D*(Error - Error_last)
The P and D terms are overridden to zero if:
Error < S.G.DB AND Error > - S.G.DB AND D < M.R.DB AND
D > - M.R.DB. “P + D” are then clamped based on CAP.M. This
sum can be no larger or no smaller than +CAP.M or –CAP.M.

Finally, the desired capacity is calculated:

Capacity Calculation
NOTE: The PID values should not be modified without approval
from Carrier.
IMPORTANT: When gas or electric heat is used in a VAV
application with third party terminals, the HIR relay output
must be connected to the VAV terminals in the system in order to enforce a minimum heating airflow rate. The installer
is responsible to ensure the total minimum heating cfm is not
below limits set for the equipment. Failure to do so will result
in limit switch tripping and may void warranty.
Staged Gas Heat Staging
Different unit sizes will control heat stages differently based on
the amount of heating capacity included. These staging patterns are selected based on the model number. The selection of
a set of staging patterns is controlled via the heat stage type
configuration parameter (HT.ST). As the heating capacity rises
and falls based on demand, the staged gas control logic will
stage the heat relay patterns up and down, respectively. The
Heat Stage Type configuration selects one of 4 staging patterns

that the stage gas control will use. In addition to the staging
patterns, the capacity for each stage is also determined by the
staged gas heating PID control. Therefore, choosing the heat
relay outputs is a function of the capacity desired, the heat
staging patterns based on the heat stage type (HT.ST) and the
capacity presented by each staging pattern. As the staged gas
control desired capacity rises, it is continually checked against
the capacity of the next staging pattern.
When the desired capacity is greater than or equal to the capacity
of the next staging pattern, the next heat stage is selected (Run

INTEGRATED GAS CONTROL BOARD LOGIC
All gas heat units are equipped with one or more integrated gas
control (IGC) boards. This board provides control for the ignition system for the gas heat sections. On size 020-050 low heat
units there will be one IGC board. On size 020-050 high heat
units and 060 low heat units there are two IGC boards. On size
060 high heat units there are three IGC boards. When a call for
gas heat is initiated, power is sent to W on the IGC boards. For
standard 2-stage heat, all boards are wired in parallel. For
staged gas heat, each board is controlled separately. When energized, an LED on the IGC board will be turned on. See Table
58 for LED explanations. Each board will ensure that the rollout switch and limit switch are closed. The induced-draft motor is then energized. When the speed of the motor is proven
with the Hall Effect sensor on the motor, the ignition activation
period begins. The burners ignite within 5 seconds. If the burners do not light, there is a 22-second delay before another 5second attempt is made. If the burners still do not light, this sequence is repeated for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes have
elapsed and the burners have not ignited then heating is locked
out. The control will reset when the request for W (heat) is
temporarily removed. When ignition occurs, the IGC board
will continue to monitor the condition of the rollout switch,
limit switches, Hall Effect sensor, and the flame sensor. Fortyfive seconds after ignition has occurred, the IGC will request
that the indoor fan be turned on. The IGC fan output (IFO) is
connected to the indoor fan input on the MBB which will indicate to the controls that the indoor fan should be turned on (if
not already on). If for some reason the overtemperature limit
switch trips prior to the start of the indoor fan blower, on the
next attempt the 45-second delay will be shortened by 5 seconds. Gas will not be interrupted to the burners and heating
will continue. Once modified, the fan delay will not change
back to 45 seconds unless power is reset to the control. The
IGC boards only control the first stage of gas heat on each gas
valve. The second stages are controlled directly from the MBB

board. The IGC board has a minimum on-time of 1 minute. In
modes such as Service Test where long minimum on times are
not enforced, the 1-minute timer on the IGC will still be followed and the gas will remain on for a minimum of 1 minute.
1. There is a 3-second pause between error code displays.
2. If more than one error code exists, all applicable error codes will be

3. Error codes on the IGC will be lost if power to the unit is interrupted.
RELOCATE SAT (SUPPLY AIR TEMPERATURE) SENSOR
FOR HEATING IN LINKAGE APPLICATIONS
On CCN installations employing ComfortID™ terminals, the
factory SAT location must be changed to a new location downstream of the unit’s heating system. The ComfortID terminal
controls read the SAT value for their “proof-of-heat” sequence
before terminals open to Minimum Heating positions during
unit heating sequence.
Determine a location in the supply duct that will provide a fairly uniform airflow. Typically this would be a minimum of
55
5 equivalent duct diameters downstream of the unit. Also, care
should be taken to avoid placing the thermistor within a direct
line-of-sight of the heating element to avoid radiant effects.
Run a new two-wire conductor cable from the control box
through the low voltage conduit into the space inside the building and route the cable to the new sensor location.
Installing a New Sensor
A field-provided duct-mount temperature sensor (Carrier P/N
33ZCSENPAT or equivalent 10,000 ohms at 25°C NTC [negative temperature coefficient] sensor) is required. Install the sensor through the side wall of the duct and secure.
Re-Using the Factory SAT Sensor
The factory sensor is attached to one of the supply fan housings. Disconnect the sensor from the factory harness. Drill a
hole insert the sensor through the duct wall and secure in place.
Attach the new conductor cable to the sensor leads and terminate in an appropriate junction box. Connect the opposite end
inside the unit control box at the factory leads from MBB J8
terminals 11 and 12 (PNK) leads. Secure the unattached PNK
leads from the factory harness to ensure no accidental contact
with other terminals inside the control box.
MORNING WARM UP
Morning Warm Up, a Linkage mode, is a period of time that
assists CCN linkage in opening up downstream zone dampers
for the first heating cycle of a day.
The Morning Warm Up Period is CCN linkage mode “2” and is
relayed in the following conditions:
•Temperature Compensated Start Mode is active AND Heat
Mode in effect AND LAT is warm enough or is to be ignored due to placement.
•The unit just went into occupied mode and there has been
no cooling mode yet and a heat cycle occurs or was in
progress when the unit went occupied.
In both cases, if and when the heat mode terminates, a heat cycle has occurred and any subsequent heat cycles will not be
treated as a morning warm up period.
TEMPERING MODE
In a vent or cooling mode, the rooftop may encounter a situa-
tion where the economizer at minimum position is sending
cold outside air down the ductwork of the building. Therefore,
it may be necessary to bring heat on to counter-effect this low
supply-air temperature. This is referred to as the tempering
mode.

If the control is configured for staged gas, the control is in a vent,

IAQ.P=ON), then the trip point is T. V. O C.
•For all other cases, the trip point is T.V.U N.
NOTE: The unoccupied economizer free cooling mode does not
qualify as a HVAC cool mode as it is an energy saving feature and
has its own OAT lockout already. The unoccupied free cooling
mode (HVAC mode = Unocc. Free Cool) will override any unoccupied vent mode from triggering a tempering mode.
If OAT is above the chosen tempering setpoint, tempering will
not be allowed. Additionally, tempering mode is locked out if
any stages of mechanical cooling are present.
A minimum amount of time must pass before calling out any
tempering mode. In effect, the EDT must fall below the trip
point value –1°F continuously for a minimum of 2 minutes. Also, at the end of a mechanical cooling cycle, there must be a
minimum 10 minutes of delay allowed before considering tempering during vent mode in order to allow any residual cooling
to dissipate from the evaporator coil.
If the above conditions are met, the algorithm is free to select
the tempering mode (MODETEMP). If a tempering mode becomes active, the modulating heat source (staged gas) will attempt to maintain leaving-air temperature (LAT) at the tempering setpoint used to trigger the tempering mode. The technique
for modulation of setpoint for staged gas and hydronic heat is
the same as in a heat mode. More information regarding the
operation of heating can be referenced in the Heating Control
section.
Recovery from a tempering mode (MODETEMP) will occur
when the EDT rises above the trip point. On any change in
HVACMODE, the tempering routine will re-assess the tempering setpoint which may cause the control to continue or exit
tempering mode.
Static Pressure Control
Variable air volume (VAV) air-conditioning systems must provide varying amounts of air to the conditioned space. As air
terminals downstream of the unit modulate their flows, the unit
must maintain control over the duct static pressure in order to
accommodate the needs of the terminals and meet the varying
combined airflow requirement.
The static pressure control routine is also used on CV units
with VFD for staged air volume. The fan is controlled at discrete speeds through the VFD by the unit ComfortLink controls
based on the operating mode of the unit.
A 48/50A3,A5 unit equipped with a duct pressure control system is provided with a variable frequency drive (VFD) for the
supply fan. The speed of the fan can be controlled directly by
the ComfortLink controls. A transducer is used to measure duct
static pressure. The signal from the transducer is received by
the ECB-2 board and is then used in a PID control routine that
outputs a 4 to 20 mA signal to the VFD.
Generally, only VAV systems utilize static pressure control. It is
required because as the system VAV terminals modulate closed
when less air is required, there must be a means of controlling
56
airflow from the unit, thereby effectively preventing overpressurization and its accompanying problems.
A 48/50A2,A4 unit can be equipped with a VFD for staged air
volume control. The speed of the fan is controlled directly by
the ComfortLink controls based on the operating mode of the
unit. A 4 to 20 mA signal is sent to the VFD to control the fan
speed.
The four most fundamental configurations for most applications are Configuration
pressure control type, Configuration
SP
SP.CF, which is the static
SP
CV.FD, used to
indicate CV unit with VFD (staged air volume). Configuration
SP
Configuration
SP.S, used to enable the static pressure sensor, and
SP
SP.SP, the static pressure setpoint to
be maintained.
OPERATION
On VAV units equipped with a VFD and a proper static pressure sensor, when SP.CF, SP.S and SP.SP are configured, a
PID routine periodically measures the duct static pressure and
calculates the error from setpoint. This error is simply the duct
static pressure setpoint minus the measured duct static pressure. The error becomes the basis for the proportional term of
the PID. The routine also calculates the integral of the error
over time, and the derivative (rate of change) of the error. A
value is calculated as a result of this PID routine, and this value
is then used to create an output signal used to adjust the VFD to
maintain the static pressure setpoint.
Static pressure reset is the ability to force a lowering of the
static pressure setpoint through an external control signal. The
unit controls support this in two separate ways, through a 4 to
20 mA signal input wired to the unit’s isolator board input terminals (third party control) or via CCN.
When employing the CCN, this feature uses the communications capabilities of VAV systems with ComfortID™ terminals
under linkage. The system dynamically determines and
maintains an optimal duct static pressure setpoint based on the
actual load conditions in the space. This can result in a significant reduction in required fan energy by lowering the setpoint
to only the level required to maintain adequate airflow
throughout the system.
OPERATION
On CV units equipped with a VFD (Staged Air Volume) when
SP.CF, CV.FD, SP.FN are configured, the ComfortLink con-
trols will control the speed of the supply fan based on the operating mode of the unit. The VFD speed setting points are
SP.MN, SP.MX, HT.VM. When in LOW COOL mode and the
compressor stage less than 50%, fan will be as SP.MN mini-
mum speed. When in HIGH COOL, the fan will be at SP.MX
maximum speed. In heating mode, the fan will operate at
SP.MX maximum speed when the heating stage is 75% or
greater and at HT.VM heating minimum speed when the heat-
ing stage is less than 75%. On units configured for two-stage
thermostat operation, the fan will be at SP.MX on a call for W2
and at HT.VM on a call for only W1.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
The options for static pressure control are found under the Lo-
cal Display Mode Configuration
SP. See Table 59.
CAUTION
Failure to correctly configure SP.CF and SP.FN when oper-
ating in VFD Bypass mode will result in the indoor fan motor running continuously. Damage to unit could result.
Static Pressure Configuration (SP.CF)
This variable is used to configure the use of ComfortLink controls
for static pressure control. There are the following options:
0 (None)
There will be no static pressure control by ComfortLink controls. This setting would be used for a constant volume (CV)
application when static pressure control is not required or for a
VAV application if there will be third-party control of the VFD.
In this latter case, a suitable means of control must be field installed. This setting must be used on CV units with VFD
(staged air volume).

Additionally, SP.CF must be set to 0 (None) when a unit is
equipped with optional VFD bypass and is operating in Bypass
mode. Failure to change this configuration in Bypass mode
will result in the indoor fan motor running continuously.
1 (VFD Control)
This will enable the use of ComfortLink controls for static
pressure control via a supply fan VFD.
Constant Vol IDF ia VFD? (CV.FD)
This variable enables the use of a CV unit with VFD for staged
air volume control.
Static Pressure Fan Control? (SP.FN)
This is automatically set to Yes when SP.CF = 1 or when
CV.FD is set to Yes. When the user would like the 4 to 20 mA
output to energize the VFD, as opposed to the fan relay, SP.FN
may be set to Yes when SP.CF = 0. When the control turns the
fan ON, the control will send the SP.MX value of the 4 to 20
mA signal to the third party VFD control.
Additionally, SP.FN must be set to NO when the unit is
equipped with optional VFD bypass and is operating in Bypass
mode. Failure to change this configuration in bypass mode will
result in the indoor fan motor running continuously.
Static Pressure Sensor (SP.S)
This variable enables the use of a supply duct static pressure
sensor. This must be enabled to use ComfortLink controls for
static pressure control. If using a third-party control for the
VFD, this should be disabled. This is not used when CV.FD is
set to Yes.
Static Pressure Low Range (SP.LO)
This is the minimum static pressure that the sensor will measure. For most sensors this will be 0 in. wg. The ComfortLink
controls will map this value to a 4 mA sensor input.
Static Pressure High Range (SP.HI)
This is the maximum static pressure that the sensor will measure. Commonly this will be 5 in. wg. The ComfortLink controls will map this value to a 20 mA sensor input.
Static Pressure Setpoint (SP.SP)
This is the static pressure control point. It is the point against
which the ComfortLink controls compare the actual measured
supply duct pressure for determination of the error that is used
for PID control. Generally one would set SP.SP to the mini-
mum value necessary for proper operation of air terminals in
the conditioned space at all load conditions. Too high of a value will cause unnecessary fan motor power consumption at
part load conditions and/or noise problems. Too low a value
will result in insufficient airflow.
VFD Minimum Speed (SP.MN)
This is the minimum speed for the supply fan VFD. Typically the
value is chosen to maintain a minimum level of ventilation. When
CV.FD = Yes, the range is 0 to 100% still with the default setting of 67%.
VFD Heating Minimum Speed (HT.V.M)
This is the low speed setting for units in heating mode. The
range is 75 to 100% with the default setting of 75%.
NOTE: Most VFDs have a built-in minimum speed adjustment
which must be configured for 0% when using ComfortLink controls for static pressure control.
VFD Maximum Speed (SP.MX)
This is the maximum speed for the supply fan VFD. This is
usually set to 100%.
VFD Fire Speed Override (SP.FS)
This is the speed that the supply fan VFD will use during the
pressurization, evacuation and purge fire modes. This is usually set to 100%.
Static Pressure Reset Configuration (SP.RS)
This option is used to configure the static pressure reset function. When SP.RS = 0, there is no static pressure reset via an
analog input. If the outdoor air quality sensor is not configured
(Configuration
possible to use the outdoor air quality sensor location on the
CEM board to perform static pressure reset via an external 4 to
20 mA input.
Configuring SP.RS = 1 provides static pressure reset based on
this CEM 4 to 20 mA input and ranges from 0 to 3 in. wg. Wire
the input to the CEM using TB6-11 and 12. When SP.RS = 2,
there is static pressure reset based on RAT and defined by
SP.RT and SP.LM. When SP.RS = 3, there is static pressure reset based on SPT and defined by SP.RT and SP.LM.
Setting SP.RS to 1, 2 or 3 will give the user the ability to reset
from 0 to 3 in. wg of static pressure. The reset will apply to the
supply static pressure setpoint. The static pressure reset function will only act to reduce the static pressure control point.
As an example, the static pressure reset input is measuring 6
mA, and is therefore resetting 2 mA (6 mA – 4 mA) of its 16
mA control range. The 4 to 20 mA range corresponds directly
to the 0 to 3 in. wg of reset. Therefore 2 mA reset is 2/16 * 3 in.
wg = 0.375 in. wg of reset. If the static pressure setpoint
(SP.SP) = 1.5 in. wg, then the static pressure control point for
the system will be reset to 1.5 – 0.375 = 1.125 in. wg.
When SP.RS = 4, the static pressure reset function acts to pro-
vide direct VFD speed control where 4 mA = 0% speed and 20
mA = 100% (SP.MN and SP.MX will override). Note that
SP.CF must be set to 1 (VFD Control), prior to configuring
SP.RS = 4. Failure to do so could result in damage to ductwork
due to overpressurization. This is the recommended approach
if a third party wishes to control the variable speed supply fan.
In effect, this represents a speed control signal “pass through”
under normal operating circumstances. The ComfortLink control system overrides the third party signal for critical operation
situations, most notably smoke and fire control.
Static Pressure Reset Ratio (SP.RT)
This option defines the reset ratio in terms of static pressure
versus temperature. The reset ratio determines how much is the
static pressure reduced for every degree below setpoint for
RAT or SPT.
Static Pressure Reset Limit (SP.LM)
This option defines the maximum amount of static pressure reset that is allowed. This is sometimes called a “clamp.”
NOTE: Resetting static pressure via RAT and SPT is primarily a
constant volume application which utilizes a VFD. The reasoning
is that there is significant energy savings in slowing down a supply
fan as opposed to running full speed with supply air reset. Maintaining the supply air setpoint and slowing down the fan has the
additional benefit of working around dehumidification concerns.
Static Pressure Reset Economizer Position (SP.EC)
This option effectively resets ECONOMIN to fully occupied
ventilation position, to account for the drop in static pressure
during static pressure reset control. The static pressure reset for
the calculation cannot be larger than the supply air static setpoint (SPSP).
The calculation is as follows:
(Static Pressure Reset/SP.LM) x (ECONOSPR – ECONOMIN)
As an example, the static pressure reset limit (SP.LM) = 0.75
in. wg. The current static pressure reset is set to 0.5 in. wg. The
settings for ECONOSPR = 50% and ECONOMIN = 20%.
IAQ
IAQ.CF
OQ.A.C = 0), then it is
58
Therefore, the amount to add to the economizer’s ECONOMIN
configuration is: (0.5/0.75) x (50-20) = 20%. In effect, for the
positioning of the economizer, ECONOMIN would now be replaced by ECONOMIN + 10%.
Static Pressure PID Config (S.PID)
Static pressure PID configuration can be accessed under this
heading in the Configuration
erating conditions the control PID factors will not require any
adjustment and the factory defaults should be used. If persistent static pressure fluctuations are detected, small changes
to these factors may improve performance. Decreasing the factors generally reduces the responsiveness of the control loop,
while increasing the factors increases its responsiveness. Note
the existing settings before making changes, and seek technical
assistance from Carrier before making significant changes to
these factors.

STATIC PRESSURE RESET OPERATION
The ComfortLink controls support the use of static pressure re-
set. The Linkage Master terminal monitors the primary air
damper position of all the terminals in the system (done
through LINKAGE with the new ComfortID™ air terminals).
The Linkage Master then calculates the amount of supply static
pressure reduction necessary to cause the most open damper in
the system to open more than the minimum value (60%) but
not more than the maximum value (90% or negligible static
pressure drop). This is a dynamic calculation, which occurs every two minutes whenever the system is operating. The calculation ensures that the supply static pressure is always enough
to supply the required airflow at the worst case terminal but
never more than necessary, so that the primary air dampers do
not have to operate with an excessive pressure drop (more than
required to maintain the airflow setpoint of each individual terminal in the system).
As the system operates, if the most open damper opens more
than 90%, the system recalculates the pressure reduction variable and the value is reduced. Because the reset value is subtracted from the controlling setpoint at the equipment, the pressure
setpoint increases and the primary-air dampers close a little (to
less than 90%). If the most open damper closes to less than 60%,
the system recalculates the pressure reduction variable and the
value is increased. This results in a decrease in the controlling
setpoint at the equipment, which causes the primary-air dampers
to open a little more (to greater than 60%).
The rooftop unit has the static pressure setpoint programmed
into the CCN control. This is the maximum setpoint that could
ever be achieved under any condition. To simplify the installation and commissioning process for the field, this system control is designed so that the installer only needs to enter a maximum duct design pressure or maximum equipment pressure,
whichever is less. There is no longer a need to calculate the
worst case pressure drop at design conditions and then hope
that some intermediate condition does not require a higher supply static pressure to meet the load conditions. For example, a
system design requirement may be 1.2 in. wg, the equipment
may be capable of providing 3.0 in. wg and the supply duct is
SP submenu. Under most op-
SP.TM) — This is the
SP.P) — This is
SP.I) — This is the in-
SP.D) — This is the
SP.SG) — This is the
designed for 5.0 in. wg. In this case, the installer could enter
3.0 in. wg as the supply static pressure setpoint and allow the
air terminal system to dynamically adjust the supply duct static
pressure setpoint as required.
The system will determine the actual setpoint required delivering the required airflow at every terminal under the current
load conditions. The setpoint will always be the lowest value
under the given conditions. As the conditions and airflow setpoints at each terminal change throughout the operating period,
the equipment static pressure setpoint will also change.
The CCN system must have access to a CCN variable (SPRESET which is part of the equipment controller). In the algorithm for static pressure control, the SPRESET value is always
subtracted from the configured static pressure setpoint by the
equipment controller. The SPRESET variable is always
checked to be a positive value or zero only (negative values are
limited to zero). The result of the subtraction of the SPRESET
variable from the configured setpoint is limited so that it cannot be less than zero. The result is that the system will dynamically determine the required duct static pressure based on the
actual load conditions currently in the space. This eliminates
the need to calculate the design supply static pressure setpoint.
This also saves the energy difference between the design static
pressure setpoint and the required static pressure.
Third Party 4 to 20 mA Input
It is also possible to perform static pressure reset via an external 4 to 20 mA signal connected to the CEM board where 4
mA corresponds to 0 in. wg of reset and 20 mA corresponds to
3 in. wg of reset. The static pressure 4 to 20 mA input shares
the same input as the analog OAQ sensor. Therefore, both sensors cannot be used at the same time. To enable the static pressure reset 4 to 20 mA sensor, set (ConfigurationSP.RS) to Enabled.

Fan Status Monitoring
GENERAL
The A Series ComfortLink controls offer the capability to de-
tect a failed supply fan through either a duct static pressure
transducer or an accessory discrete switch. The fan status
switch is an accessory that allows for the monitoring of a discrete switch, which trips above a differential pressure drop
across the supply fan. For any unit with a factory-installed duct
static pressure sensor, it is possible to measure duct pressure
rise directly, which removes the need for a differential switch.
All 48/50A3,A5,A7,A9 units with a factory-installed supply
fan VFD will have the duct static pressure sensor as standard.

Economizer
The economizer control is used to manage the outside and return air dampers of the unit to provide ventilation air as well as
free cooling based on several configuration options. This section contains a description of the economizer and its ability to
provide free cooling. See the section on Indoor Air Quality
Control on page 69 for more information on setting up and using the economizer to perform demand controlled ventilation
(DCV). See the Third Party Control section on page 25 for a
description on how to take over the operation of the economizer through external control.
The economizer system also permits this unit to perform
smoke control functions based on external control switch inputs. Refer to the Smoke Control Modes section on page 68 for
detailed discussions.
Economizer control can be based on automatic control algorithms using unit-based setpoints and sensor inputs. This economizer control system can also be managed through external
logic systems.
The economizer system is a factory-installed option. This unit
can also have the following devices installed to enhance economizer control:

ECONOMIZER FAULT DETECTION AND DIAGNOSTICS
(FDD) CONTROL
The Economizer Fault Detection and Diagnostics control can
be divided into two tests:
•Test for mechanically disconnected actuator
•Test for stuck/jammed actuator
Mechanically Disconnected Actuator
The test for a mechanically disconnected actuator will be performed by monitoring SAT as the actuator position changes
and the damper blades modulate. As the damper opens, it is expected SAT will drop and approach OAT when the damper is at
100%. As the damper closes, it is expected SAT will rise and
approach RAT when the damper is at 0%. The basic test will be
as follows:
1. With supply fan running take a sample of SAT at current ac-
tuator position.
2. Modulate actuator to new position.
3. Allow time for SAT to stabilize at new position.
4. Take sample of SAT at the new actuator position and deter-
mine if the damper has opened or closed. If damper has
opened, SAT should have decreased. If damper has closed,
SAT should have increased.
5. Use current SAT and actuator position as samples for next
comparison after next actuator move.
The control will test for a mechanically disconnected damper if
all the following conditions are true:
1. An economizer is installed.
2. The supply fan is running.
3. Conditions are good for economizing.
4. The difference between RAT and OAT is greater than
T24RATDF. It is necessary for there to be a large enough difference between RAT and OAT in order to measure a change
in SAT as the damper modulates.
5. The actuator has moved at least T24ECSTS %. A very small
change in damper position may result in a very small (or
non-measurable) change in SAT.
6. At least part of the economizer movement is within the range
T24TSTMN% to T24TSTMX%. Because the mixing of
outside air and return air is not linear over the entire range of
damper position, near the ends of the range even a large
change in damper position may result in a very small (or
non-measurable) change in SAT.
Furthermore, the control will test for a mechanically disconnected actuator after T24CHDLY minutes have expired when
any of the following occur (this is to allow the heat/cool cycle
to dissipate and not influence SAT):
1. The supply fans switches from OFF to ON.
2. Mechanical cooling switches from ON to OFF.
3. Reheat switches from ON to OFF.
4. The SAT sensor has been relocated downstream of the heat-
ing section and heat switches from ON to OFF.
The economizer will be considered moving if the reported position has changed at least ± T24ECMDB %. A very small
change in position will not be considered movement.
The determination of whether the economizer is mechanically
disconnected will occur SAT_SEC/2 seconds after the economizer has stopped moving.
The control will log a “damper not modulating” alert if:
1. SAT has not decreased by T24SATMD degrees F SAT_SET/
2 seconds after opening the economizer at least
T24ECSTS%, taking into account whether the entire movement has occurred within the range 0 to T24TSTMN%.
2. SAT has not increased by T24SATMD degrees F SAT_SET/
2 seconds after closing the economizer at least
T24ECSTS%, taking into account whether the entire movement has occurred within the range T24TSTMX to 100%.
3. Economizer reported position 5% and SAT is not approximately equal to RAT. SAT not approximately equal to RAT
will be determined as follows:
a. SAT<RAT-(2*2(thermistor accuracy) + 2 (SAT
increase due to fan)) or
b. SAT>RAT+(2*2(thermistor accuracy) + 2 (SAT
increase due to fan))
4. Economizer reported position 95% and SAT is not approximately equal to OAT. SAT not approximately equal to OAT
will be determined as follows:
a. SAT<OAT-(2*2(thermistor accuracy) + 2 (SAT
increase due to fan)) or
b. SAT>OAT+(2*2(thermistor accuracy) + 2 (SAT
increase due to fan))
The control will test for a jammed actuator as follows:
•If the actuator has stopped moving and the reported position (ECONOPOS) is not within ± 3% of the commanded
position (ECONOCMD) after 20 seconds, a “damper stuck
or jammed” alert will be logged.
•If the actuator jammed while opening (i.e., reported position is less than the commanded position), a “not economizing when it should” alert will be logged.
•If the actuator jammed while closing (i.e., reported position is greater than the command position), the “economizing when it should not” and “too much outside air” alerts
will be logged.
The control will automatically clear the jammed actuator alerts
as follows:
•If the actuator jammed while opening, when ECONOPOS
is greater than the jammed position the alerts will be
cleared.
•If the actuator jammed while closing, when ECONOPOS <
jammed position the alerts will be cleared.
DIFFERENTIAL DRY BULB CUTOFF CONTROL (DIFFERENTIAL DRY BULB CHANGEOVER)
As both return air and outside air temperature sensors are installed as standard on these units, select this option, E.SEL = 1,
to perform a qualification of return and outside-air in the enabling/disabling of free cooling. If this option is selected the outside-air temperature will be compared to the return-air temperature to disallow free cooling as shown below:

SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
The economizer configuration options are under the Local Dis-
play Mode Configuration
ECON. See Table 63.
Economizer Installed? (EC.EN)
If an economizer is not installed or is to be completely disabled
then the configuration option EC.EN should be set to No. Otherwise in the case of an installed economizer, this value must
be set to Yes.
Economizer Minimum Position (EC.MN)
The configuration option EC.MN is the economizer minimum
position. See the section on indoor air quality for further information on how to reset the economizer further to gain energy
savings and to more carefully monitor IAQ problems.
Economizer Maximum Position (EC.MX)
The upper limit of the economizer may be limited by setting
EC.MX. This value defaults to 98% to avoid problems associated
with slight changes in the economizer damper’s end stop over
time. Typically this will not need to be adjusted.
Economizer Position at Minimum VFD Speed (EP.MS)
The configuration option EP.MS is the economizer command-
ed position at SP.MN (STATPMIN), which is the minimum
speed for the supply fan VFD. Typically the value is chosen to
maintain a minimum level of ventilation. See the section on indoor air quality for further information on how to reset the
economizer further to gain energy savings and to more carefully monitor IAQ problems.
Economizer Position at Maximum VFD Speed (EP.XS)
The configuration option EP.XS is the economizer commanded
position at SP.MX (STATPMAX), which is the maximum
speed for the supply fan VFD. This is usually set to 100%
when CV.FD = Yes, the range is 33 to 67% with the default set-
ting of 67%. See the section on indoor air quality for further information on how to reset the economizer further to gain energy savings and to more carefully monitor IAQ problems.
Economizer Trim for Sum Z? (E.TRM)
Sum Z is the adaptive cooling control algorithm used for multiple stages of mechanical cooling capacity. The configuration
option, E.TRM is typically set to Yes, and allows the econo-
mizer to modulate to the same control point (Sum Z) that is
used to control capacity staging. The advantage is lower compressor cycling coupled with tighter temperature control. Setting this option to No will cause the economizer, if it is able to
provide free cooling, to open to the Economizer Max. Position
(EC.MX) during mechanical cooling.
ECONOMIZER OPERATION
There are four potential elements which are considered concur-
rently which determine whether the economizer is able to provide free cooling:
1. Dry bulb changeover (outside-air temperature qualification)
2. Economizer switch (discrete control input monitoring)
Dry Bulb Changeover (OAT.L)
Outside-air temperature may be viewed under Temperatures
AIR.T
OAT. The control constantly compares its outsideair temperature reading against the high temperature OAT
lockout (OAT.L). If the temperature reads above OAT.L, the
economizer will not be allowed to perform free cooling.
Economizer Switch (EC.SW)
The function of this switch is determined by Configuration
ECON
EC.SW. The state of the corresponding economizer
input can be viewed under Inputs
GEN.I
E.SW.
When set to EC.SW = 0, the switch is disabled. When set to
EC.SW = 1, the economizer switch functions to enable/disable
the economizer. When set to EC.SW = 2, the switch functions
as an IAQ override switch. This functions just like the discrete
IAQ input Inputs
IAQ
AQ.CF
AIR.Q
IAQ.I when Configuration
IQ.I.C=2 (IAQ Discrete Override). See the
Indoor Air Quality Control section for more information.
When Configuration

E.SW = No, free cooling will not be allowed.

The control is capable of performing any one of the following
changeover types in addition to both the dry bulb lockout and
the external switch enable input:
As both return air and outside air temperature sensors are installed as standard on these units, the user may select this option, E.SEL = 1, to perform a qualification of return and out-
side air in the enabling and disabling of free cooling. If this option is selected and outside-air temperature is greater than
return-air temperature, free cooling will not be allowed.
Outdoor Enthalpy Changeover
This option should be used in climates with higher humidity
conditions. The A Series control can use an enthalpy switch or
enthalpy sensor, or the standard installed outdoor dry bulb sensor and an accessory relative humidity sensor to calculate the
enthalpy of the air.
Setting Configuration
the user configure Configuration
ECON
E.SEL = 2 requires that
ECON
OA.E.C, the
Outdoor Enthalpy Changeover Select, and install an outdoor
relative humidity sensor. Once the sensor is installed, enable
Configuration
ECON
ORH.S, the outdoor relative hu-
midity sensor configuration option.
If the user selects one of the Honeywell curves, A,B,C or D,
then OA.E.C options 1 to 4 should be selected. See Fig. 11 for
a diagram of these curves on a psychrometric chart.
OA.E.C = 1Honeywell A Curve
OA.E.C = 2Honeywell B Curve
OA.E.C = 3Honeywell C Curve
OA.E.C = 4Honeywell D Curve
OA.E.C = 5custom enthalpy curve
If the user selects OA.E.C = 5, a direct comparison of outdoor
enthalpy versus an enthalpy setpoint is done. This outdoor enthalpy setpoint limit is configurable, and is called Configuration
ECON
OA.EN.
Depending on what Configuration
ECON
OA.E.C is
configured for, if the outdoor enthalpy exceeds the Honeywell
curves or the outdoor enthalpy compare value (Configuration
ECON
OA.EN), then free cooling will not be allowed.
Differential Enthalpy Changeover
This option compares the outdoor-air enthalpy to the return air
enthalpy and chooses the option with the lowest enthalpy. This
option should be used in climates with high humidity conditions. This option uses both humidity sensors and dry bulb sensors to calculate the enthalpy of the outdoor and return air. An
accessory outdoor air humidity sensor (ORH.S) and return air
humidity sensor (RRH.S) are used. The outdoor air relative humidity sensor configuration (ORH.S) and return air humidity
sensor configuration (Configuration
UNIT
SENS
RRH.S) must be enabled.
Outdoor Dewpoint Limit Check
If an outdoor relative humidity sensor is installed, then the control is able to calculate the outdoor air dewpoint temperature
and will compare this temperature against the outside air dewpoint temperature limit configuration (Configuration
ECON
O.DEW). If the outdoor air dewpoint temperature is
greater than O.DEW, then free cooling will not be allowed.
Figure 12 shows a horizontal limit line in the custom curve of
the psychrometric chart. This is the outdoor air dewpoint limit
boundary.
Custom Psychrometric Curves
Refer to the psychrometric chart and the standard Honeywell A-D
curves in Fig. 11. The curves start from the bottom and rise vertically, angle to the left and then fold over. This corresponds to the
limits imposed by dry bulb changeover, outdoor enthalpy changeover and outdoor dewpoint limiting respectively. Therefore, it is
now possible to create any curve desired with the addition of one
outdoor relative humidity sensor and the options for changeover
now available. See Fig. 12 for an example of a custom curve constructed on a psychrometric chart.
Fig. 12 — Custom Changeover Curve Example

UNOCCUPIED ECONOMIZER FREE COOLING
This Free Cooling function is used to start the supply fan and
use the economizer to bring in outside air when the outside
temperature is cool enough to pre-cool the space. This is done
to delay the need for mechanical cooling when the system enters the occupied period. This function requires the use of a
space temperature sensor.
When configured, the economizer will modulate during an unoccupied period and attempt to maintain space temperature to
the occupied cooling setpoint. Once the need for cooling has
been satisfied during this cycle, the fan will be stopped.
Configuring the economizer for Unoccupied Economizer Free
Cooling is done in the UEFC group. There are three configuration options, FC.CF, FC.TM and FC.LO.
This option is used to configure the type of unoccupied economizer free cooling control that is desired.
0 = disable unoccupied economizer free cooling
1 = perform unoccupied economizer free cooling as available
during the entire unoccupied period.
2 = perform unoccupied economizer free cooling as available,
FC.TM minutes before the next occupied period.
Unoccupied Economizer Free Cooling Time Configuration
(FC.TM)
This option is a configurable time period, prior to the next occupied period, that the control will allow unoccupied economizer free cooling to operate. This option is only applicable
when FC.CF = 2.
This configuration option allows the user to select an outsideair temperature below which unoccupied free cooling is not allowed. This is further explained in the logic section.
Unoccupied Economizer Free Cooling Logic
The following qualifications that must be true for unoccupied
free cooling to operate:
•Unit configured for an economizer
•Space temperature sensor enabled and sensor reading
within limits
•Unit is in the unoccupied mode
•FC.CF set to 1 or FC.CF set to 2 and control is within
FC.TM minutes of the next occupied period
•Not in the Temperature Compensated Start Mode
•Not in a cooling mode
•Not in a heating mode
•Not in a tempering mode
•Outside-air temperature sensor reading within limits
•Economizer would be allowed to cool if the fan were requested and in a cool mode
•OAT > FC.L.O (1.0°F hysteresis applied)
•Unit not in a fire smoke mode
•No fan failure when configured to for unit to shut down on
a fan failure
If all of the above conditions are satisfied:
Unoccupied Economizer Free Cooling will start when both of
the following conditions are true:
{SPT > (OCSP + 2)} AND {SPT > (OAT + 8)}
The Unoccupied Economizer Free Cooling Mode will stop
when either of the following conditions are true:
{SPT < OCSP} OR {SPT < (OAT + 3)} where SPT = Space
Temperature and OCSP = Occupied Cooling Setpoint.
When the Unoccupied Economizer Free Cooling mode is active, the supply fan is turned on and the economizer damper
modulated to control to the supply air setpoint (Setpoints
SASP) plus any supply air reset that may be applied (Inputs
RSET
SA.S.R).
FDD CONFIGURATIONS
Log Title 24 Faults (LOG.F)
Enables Title 24 detection and logging of mechanically disconnected actuator faults.
T24 Econ Move Detect (EC.MD)
Detects the amount of change required in the reported position
before economizer is detected as moving.
T24 Econ Move SAT Test (EC.ST)
The minimum amount the economizer must move in order to
trigger the test for a change in SAT. The economizer must
move at least EC.ST % before the control will attempt to determine whether the actuator is mechanically disconnected.
T24 Econ Move SAT Change (S.CHG)
The minimum amount (in degrees F) SAT is expected to
change based on economizer position change of EC.ST.
T24 Econ RAT-OAT Diff (E.SOD)
The minimum amount (in degrees F) between RAT (if available) or SAT (with economizer closed and fan on) and OAT to
perform mechanically disconnected actuator testing.
T24 Heat/Cool End Delay (E.CHD)
The amount of time (in minutes) to wait before mechanical
cooling or heating has ended before testing for mechanically
disconnected actuator. This is to allow SAT to stabilize at conclusion of mechanical cooling or heating.
T24 Test Minimum Position (ET.MN)
The minimum position below which tests for a mechanically
disconnected actuator will not be performed. For example, if
the actuator moves entirely within the range 0 to ET.MN a de-
termination of whether the actuator is mechanically disconnected will not be made. This is due to the fact that at the extreme ends of the actuator movement, a change in position may
not result in a detectable change in temperature. When the actuator stops in the range 0 to 2% (the actuator is considered to
be closed), a test will be performed where SAT is expected to
be approximately equal to RAT. If SAT is not determined to be
approximately equal to RAT, a “damper not modulating” alert
will be logged.
T24 Test Maximum Position (ET.MX)
The maximum position above which tests for a mechanically
disconnected actuator will not be performed. For example, if
the actuator moves entirely within the range ET.MX to 100 a
determination of whether the actuator is mechanically disconnected will not be made. This is due to the fact that at the extreme ends of the actuator movement, a change in position may
not result in a detectable change in temperature. When the actuator stops in the range 98 to 100% (the actuator is considered
to be open), a test will be performed where SAT is expected to
be approximately equal to OAT. If SAT is not determined to be
approximately equal to OAT, a “damper not modulating” alert
will be logged.
SAT Settling Time (SAT.T)
The amount of time (in seconds) the economizer reported position must remain unchanged (± EC.MD) before the control will
attempt to detect a mechanically disconnected actuator. This is
to allow SAT to stabilize at the current economizer position.
This configuration sets the settling time of the supply-air temperature (SAT). This typically tells the control how long to
wait after a stage change before trusting the SAT reading, and
has been reused for Title 24 purposes.
64
ECONOMIZER OPERATION CONFIGURATION
The configuration items in the E.CFG menu group affect how
the economizer modulates when attempting to follow an economizer cooling setpoint. Typically, they will not need adjustment. In fact, it is strongly advised not to adjust these configuration items from their default settings without first consulting
a service engineering representative.
In addition, the economizer cooling algorithm is designed to
automatically slow down the economizer actuator’s rate of
travel as outside air temperature decreases.
ECONOMIZER DIAGNOSTIC HELP
Because there are so many conditions which might disable the
economizer from being able to provide free cooling, the control
has a display table to identify these potentially disabling sources.
The user can check ACTV, the “Economizer Active” flag. If this
flag is set to Yes there is no reason to check DISA (Economizer
Disabling Conditions). If the flag is set to No, this means that at
least one or more of the flags under the group DISA are set to
Yes and the user can discover what is preventing the economizer
from performing free cooling by checking the table.
The economizer’s reported and commanded positions are also
viewable, as well as outside air temperature, relative humidity,
enthalpy and dew point temperature.
The following information can be found under the Local Display Mode Run Status
ECON. See Table 64.
Economizer Control Point Determination Logic
Once the economizer is allowed to provide free cooling, the
economizer must determine exactly what setpoint it should try
to maintain. The setpoint the economizer attempts to maintain
when “free cooling” is located at Run Status
VIEW
EC.C.P. This is the economizer control point.
The control selects setpoints differently, based on the control
type of the unit. This control type can be found at Configuration
UNIT
C.TYP. There are 6 types of control.
C.TYP = 1 VAV- RAT
C.TYP = 2 VAV- SP T
C.TYP = 3 TSTAT Multi-Staging
C.TYP = 4 TSTAT 2 Stage
C.TYP = 5 SPT Multi-Staging
C.TYP = 6 SPT 2 Stage
If the economizer is not allowed to do free cooling, then
EC.C.P = 0.
If the economizer is allowed to do free cooling and the Unoccupied Free Cooling Mode is ON, then EC.C.P = Setpoints
SASP + Inputs
RSET
SA.S.R.
If the economizer is allowed to do free cooling and the Dehumidification mode is ON, then EC.C.P = the Cooling Control
Point (Run Status
VIEW
CL.C.P).
If the C.TYP is either 4 or 6, and the unit is in a cool mode, then
If Stage = 0EC.C.P = the Cooling Control Point (Run Status
VIEW
CL.C.P)
If Stage = 153.0 + economizer suction pressure reset (see
below)
If Stage = 248.0 + economizer suction pressure reset (see
below)
NOTE: To check the current cooling stage go to Run Status
Cool
CUR.S.
If the C.TYP is either 1,2,3, or 5, and the unit is in a cool mode,
then EC.C.P = the Cooling Control Point (Run Status
VIEW
CL.C.P).
Economizer Suction Pressure Reset for Two-Stage Cooling
If the unit’s control type is set to either 2-stage thermostat or 2stage space temperature control, then there is no cooling control point. Stages 1 and 2 are brought on based on demand, irrespective of the evaporator discharge temperature. In this case,
the economizer monitors suction pressure and resets the economizer control point accordingly in order to protect the unit
from freezing. For those conditions when the economizer
opens up fully but is not able to make setpoint, and then a compressor comes on, it is conceivable that the coil might freeze.
This can be indirectly monitored by checking suction pressure.
Rather than fail a circuit, the control will attempt to protect the
unit by resetting the economizer control point until the suction
pressure rises out of freezing conditions.
If either circuit’s suction pressure drops to within 5 psig of the
low suction pressure trip point, the control will start adding reset to the economizer control point if it is active. It will be possible to reset the control point upwards, 10 degrees (2 degrees
per psig), between the low suction pressure trip point of 93
psig. If this does not work, and if the suction pressure drops below the trip point, then the control will further reset the control
point 1 degree every 15 seconds up to a maximum of 10 degrees. The resulting effect will be to warm up the mixed air entering the evaporator, thereby raising the suction pressure.

Building Pressure Control
The building pressure control sequence provides control of pressure in the building through the modulating flow rate function of
the modulating power exhaust option. This function also provides
control of the constant volume 2-stage power exhaust option.
BUILDING PRESSURE CONFIGURATION
The building pressure configurations are found at the local dis-
play under Configuration
Building Pressure Config (BP.CF)
This configuration selects the type of building pressure control.
•BP.CF = 0, No building pressure control
•BP.CF = 1, constant volume two-stage power exhaust
based on economizer position
•BP.CF = 2, multiple stage building pressure control based
on a building pressure sensor
•BP.CF = 3, VFD building pressure control based on a
building pressure sensor
Building Pressure PID Run Rate (BP.RT)
This configuration selects the run time of the PID algorithm.
This configuration is only active when BP.CF = 3. It is recom-
mended that this value not be changed without guidance from
Service Engineering.
Building Pressure Proportional Gain (BP.P)
This configuration selects the proportional gain of the PID algorithm. This configuration is only active when BP.CF = 3. It
is recommended that this value not be changed without guidance from Service Engineering.
Building Pressure Integral Gain (BP.I)
This configuration selects the integral gain of the PID algorithm. This configuration is only active when BP.CF = 3. It is
recommended that this value not be changed without guidance
from Service Engineering.
Building Pressure Derivative Gain (BP.D)
This configuration selects the derivative gain of the PID algorithm. This configuration is only active when BP.CF = 3. It is
recommended that this value not be changed without guidance
from Service Engineering.
BP. See Table 65.
Building Pressure Setpoint Offset (BP.SO)
This configuration is the value below the building pressure setpoint to which the building pressure must fall in order to turn
off power exhaust control. This configuration is only active
when BP.CF = 3.
Building Pressure Minimum Speed (BP.MN)
This configuration is the minimum allowed VFD speed during
building pressure control. This configuration is only active
when BP.CF = 3.
Building Pressure Maximum Speed (BP.MX)
This configuration is the maximum allowed VFD speed during
building pressure control. This configuration is only active
when BP.CF = 3.
VFD Fire Speed (BP.FS)
This configuration is the VFD speed override when the control
is in the purge or evacuation smoke control modes. This configuration is only active when BP.CF = 3.
Power Exhaust Motors (BP.MT)
This configuration is machine dependent and instructs the
building pressure control algorithm whether the unit has 4 or 6
motors to control. The motors are controlled by three power
exhaust relays A, B, and C. These relay outputs are located at
the local display under Outputs
FAN S
PE.A,B,C.
The following table illustrates the number of motors each relay
is in control of based on BP.MT:
This configuration allows the reading of a building pressure
sensor when enabled. This is automatically enabled when
BP.CF = 2 or 3.
Building Pressure (+/–) Range (BP.R)
This configuration establishes the range in in. wg that a 4 to
20 mA sensor will be scaled to. The control only allows sensors that measure both positive and negative pressure.

Building Pressure SETP (BP.SP)
This setpoint is the building pressure control setpoint. If the
unit is configured for modulating building pressure control,
then this is the setpoint that the control will control to.
Power Exhaust on Setp.1 (BP.P1)
When configured for building pressure control type BP.CF = 1
(constant volume two-stage control), the control will turn on
the first power exhaust fan when the economizer’s position exceeds this setpoint.
Power Exhaust on Setp.1 (BP.P2)
When configured for building pressure control type BP.CF = 1
(constant volume two-stage control), the control will turn on
the second power exhaust fan when the economizer’s position
exceeds this setpoint.
Modulating PE Algorithm Select (BP.SL)
This configuration selects the algorithm used to step the power
exhaust stages. This must be set to 1 at all times. The other selections are not used.

Building Pressure Threshold Adjustment (BP.ZG)
This configuration is not used. It currently has no effect on
building pressure control.

This configuration is the threshold level above the building
pressure setpoint used to control stages of power exhaust when

economizer position. The two trip setpoints are BP.P1 andBP.P2. If the economizer is greater than or equal to BP.P1, then
power exhaust stage 1 is requested and a 60-second timer is
initialized. If the economizer is 5% below BP.P1, then power
exhaust stage 1 is turned off. Also, if the economizer position
is less than BP.P1 and the 60-second timer has expired, power
exhaust stage 1 is turned off. The same logic applies to the second power exhaust stage, except the BP.P2 trip point is moni-
tored. If the economizer position is greater than or equal to
BP.P2, then power exhaust stage 2 is energized and a 60-second timer is initialized. If the economizer is 5% below BP.P2
the second power exhaust stage turned off. If the economizer is
less than BP.P2 and the 60-second timer has expired, second
stage power exhaust is turned off. For BP.CF=1, Table 66 illus-

MULTIPLE POWER EXHAUST STAGE BUILDING PRESSURE CONTROL (BP.CF = 2) OPERATION
Building pressure control is active whenever the supply fan is
running. The control algorithm to be used (BP.SL=1) is a timed
BP.MT (4 or 6 motors).
threshold technique for bringing stages of power exhaust on
and off.
The number of power exhaust stages available for this control
algorithm is a function of the number of motors it supports.
This number of motors is defined by the Configuration
BP.MT configuration. Table 67 illustrates the staging tables
for this control algorithm based on BP.MT.
The following configurations are used in the controlling of
building pressure with this algorithm:
•Configuration
sure high threshold level)
•Configuration

•Configuration

This control function is allowed to add or select power exhaust
stages at any time, except that a delay time must expire after a
stage is added or subtracted. Any time a stage change is made,
a timer is started which delays staging for 10 * BP.TM sec-
onds. The default for BP.TM is 1, therefore the delay between
stage changes is set to 10 seconds.
The logic to add or subtract a stage of power exhaust is as follows:

Smoke Control Modes
There are four smoke control modes that can be used to control
smoke within areas serviced by the unit: Pressurization mode,
Evacuation mode, Smoke Purge mode, and Fire Shutdown.
Evacuation, Pressurization and Smoke Purge modes require the
controls expansion module (CEM). The Fire Shutdown input is
located on the main base board (MBB) on terminals TB5-10
and 11. The unit may also be equipped with a factory-installed
return air smoke detector that is wired to TB5-10 and 11 and
will shut the unit down if a smoke condition is determined.
Field-monitoring wiring can be connected to terminal TB5-8
and 9 to monitor the smoke detector. Inputs on the CEM board
can be used to put the unit in the Pressurization, Evacuation,
and Smoke Purge modes. These switches or inputs are connected to TB6 as shown below. Refer to Major System Components section on page 110 for wiring diagrams.
Pressurization — TB5-12 and 13
Evacuation — TB5-12 and 14
Smoke Purge — TB5-12 and 15
Each mode must be energized individually on discrete inputs
and the corresponding alarm is initiated when a mode is activated. The fire system provides a normally closed dry contact
closure. Multiple smoke control inputs, sensed by the control
will force the unit into a Fire Shutdown mode.
FIRE-SMOKE INPUTS
These discrete inputs can be found on the local display under
This mode will cause an immediate and complete shutdown of
the unit.
WRITE
STATUS
Pressurization Mode
This mode attempts to raise the pressure of a space to prevent
smoke infiltration from an adjacent space. Opening the economizer (thereby closing the return air damper), shutting down
power exhaust and turning the indoor fan on will increase pressure in the space.
Evacuation Mode
This mode attempts to lower the pressure of the space to prevent infiltrating an adjacent space with its smoke. Closing the
economizer (thereby opening the return-air damper), turning
on the power exhaust and shutting down the indoor fan decrease pressure in the space.
Smoke Purge Mode
This mode attempts to draw out smoke from the space after the
emergency condition. Opening the economizer (thereby closing the return-air damper), turning on both the power exhaust
and indoor fan will evacuate smoke and bring in fresh air.
AIRFLOW CONTROL DURING THE FIRE-SMOKE
MODES
All non-smoke related control outputs will get shut down in the
fire-smoke modes. Those related to airflow will be controlled
as explained below. The following matrix specifies all actions
the control will undertake when each mode occurs (outputs are

Indoor Air Quality Control
The indoor air quality (IAQ) function will admit fresh air into
the space whenever space air quality sensors detect high levels
of CO
.
2
When a space or return air CO
control, the unit’s IAQ routine allows a demand-based control
for ventilation air quantity, by providing a modulating outside
air damper position that is proportional to CO
tilation damper position is varied between a minimum ventilation level (based on internal sources of contaminants and CO
levels other than from the effect of people) and the maximum
design ventilation level (determined at maximum populated
status in the building). Demand controlled ventilation (DCV) is
also available when the ComfortLink unit is connected to a
CCN system using ComfortID™ terminal controls.
This function also provides alternative control methods for
controlling the amount of ventilation air being admitted, including fixed outdoor air ventilation rates (measured as cfm),
external discrete sensor switch input and externally generated
proportional signal controls.
The IAQ function requires the installation of the factory- option economizer system. The DCV sequences also require the
connection of accessory (or field-supplied) space or return air
CO
sensors. Fixed cfm rate control requires the factory- in-
2
stalled outdoor air cfm option. External control of the ventilation position requires supplemental devices, including a 4 to 20
mA signal, a 10,000 ohms potentiometer, or a discrete switch
input, depending on the method selected. Outside air CO
els may also be monitored directly and high CO2 economizer
restriction applied when an outdoor air CO
ed. (The outdoor CO
sensor connection requires installation of
2
the CEM.)
The ComfortLink control system has the capability of DCV using
an IAQ sensor. The indoor air quality (IAQ) is measured using a
CO
sensor whose measurements are displayed in parts per mil-
2
lion (ppm). The IAQ sensor can be field-installed in the return
duct. There is also an accessory space IAQ sensor that can be installed directly in the occupied space. The sensor must provide a 4
to 20 mA output signal and must include its own 24-v supply. The
sensor connects to terminal TB5-6 and 7. Be sure to leave the
182-ohm resistor in place on terminals 6 and 7.
OPERATION
The unit’s indoor air quality algorithm modulates the position
of the economizer damper between two user configurations depending upon the relationship between the IAQ and the outdoor air quality (OAQ). Both of these values can be read at the
Inputs
AIR.Q submenu. The lower of these two configurable positions is referred to as the IAQ Demand Vent Min Position (IAQ.M), while the higher is referred to as Economizer
Minimum Position (EC.MN). The IAQ.M should be set to an
economizer position that brings in enough fresh air to remove
contaminants and CO
generated by sources other than people.
2
The EC.MN value should be set to an economizer position that
brings in enough fresh air to remove contaminants and CO
sensor is connected to the unit
2
level. The ven-
2
lev-
2
sensor is connect-
2
generated by all sources including people. The EC.MN value is
the design value for maximum occupancy.
The logic that is used to control the dampers in response to
IAQ conditions is shown in Fig. 13. The ComfortLink controls
will begin to open the damper from the IAQ.M position when
the IAQ level begins to exceed the OAQ level by a configurable amount, which is referred to as Differential Air Quality
Low Limit (DAQ.L).
If OAQ is not being measured, OAQ can be manually configured. It should be set at around 400 to 450 ppm or measured
with a handheld sensor during the commissioning of the unit.
The OAQ reference level can be set using the OAQ Reference
Setpoint (OAQ.U). When the differential between IAQ and
OAQ reaches the configurable Diff. Air Quality Hi Limit
(DAQ.H), then the economizer position will be EC.MN.
When the IAQ–OAQ differential is between DAQ.L and
DAQ.H, the control will modulate the damper between IAQ.M
2
and EC.MN as shown in Fig. 13. The relationship is a linear relationship but other non-linear options can be used. The damper position will never exceed the bounds specified by IAQ.M
and EC.MN during IAQ control.
If the building is occupied and the indoor fan is running and the
differential between IAQ and OAQ is less than DAQ.L, the
economizer will remain at IAQ.M. The economizer will not
close completely. The damper position will be 0 when the fan
is not running or the building is unoccupied. The damper position may exceed EC.MN in order to provide free cooling.
The ComfortLink controller is configured for air quality sensors which provide 4 mA at 0 ppm and 20 mA at 2000 ppm. If
a sensor has a different range, these bounds must be reconfigured. These pertinent configurations for ranging the air quality
sensors are IQ.R.L, IQ.R.H, OQ.R.L and OQ.R.H. The bounds
represent the PPM corresponding to 4 mA (low) and 20 mA
(high) for IAQ and OAQ, respectively.
If OAQ exceeds the OAQ Lockout Value (OAQ.L), then the
economizer will remain at IAQ.M. This is used to limit the use
of outside air which outdoor air CO
levels are above the
2
OAQ.L limit. Normally a linear control of the damper vs. the
IAQ control signal can be used, but the control also supports
non-linear control. Different curves can be used based on the
2
Diff.AQ Responsiveness Variable (IAQ.R). See Fig. 14.

rithm is required to commend the economizer position. The
ComfortLink controller would calculate the minimum economizer opening (CALCECMN) based on the settings of SP.MN,EP.MS, SP.MX, and EP.XS. The economizer will be commanded to the same position for all fans speeds if EP.MS=EP.XS.
This is how the current EC.MN/ECONOMIN point works and
how the dual minimum setpoint design would function by default. If configured for static pressure control and IAQ, the control will calculate the economizer position between IAQ.M
[IAQMINP] and CALCECMN (not IAQ.M [IAQMINP] and
EC.MN [ECONOMIN] as is currently done). If configured for
static pressure control and IAQ, the controller will calculate the
economizer position between IAQ.M [IAQMINP] and CALCECMN (not IAQ.M [IAQMINP] and EC.MN [ECONOMIN] as
is shown in Fig. 13). When configured for static pressure reset,
the calculated offset will be added to CALCECMN. This performs the function of shifting the interpolated line based on the
amount of static pressure reset required.
The following example illustrates how the ComfortLink software would work. The installer would have to calculate the
economizer positions at minimum and maximum supply fan
speeds and enter this data into the unit.
Using the following settings:
•EP.MS=20 (economizer commanded to 20% when
SFAN_VFD=SP.MN)
•EP.XS=5 (economizer commanded to 5% when
SFAN_VFD=SP.MX)
•SP.MN=20 (minimum SFAN_VFD speed)
•SP.MX=100 (maximum SFAN_VFD speed)
The economizer position would be command based on the supply fan speed by interpolation between the (20,20) and (100,5)
coordinates: The results are shown in Fig. 15. The comparison
between the Dual Setpoint and Fixed Minimum configurations
is shown in the following example as in Fig. 16.

This configuration is used to configure the control of the indoor fan. If this option is used then the IAQ sensor must be in
the space and not in the return duct. It has the following configurations:
•IQ.A.F = 0 (No Fan Start) — IAQ demand will never
override normal indoor fan operation during occupied or
unoccupied period and turn it on.
•IQ.A.F = 1 (Fan On If Occupied) — IAQ demand will
override normal indoor fan operation and turn it on (if off)
only during the occupied period (CV operation with automatic fan).
•IQ.A.F = 2 (Fan On Occupied/Unoccupied) — IAQ demand
will always override normal indoor fan operation and turn it
on (if off) during both the occupied and unoccupied period.
For IQ.A.F = 1 or 2, the fan will be turned on when DAQ is
above the DAQ Fan On Setpoint (Configuration

below the DAQ Fan Off Setpoint (Configuration

The Dehumidification function will override cooling staging
setpoint and deliver cooler air to the Fan Section in order to
satisfy a humidity setpoint at the space or return air humidity
sensor. The Reheat function will activate a suitable heating
system concurrent with dehumidification sequence should the
dehumidification operation result in excessive cooling at the
Evaporator Dewpoint sensor.
The dehumidification sequence requires the installation of a
space or return air humidity sensor or a discrete switch input.
An ECB option is required to accommodate an RH (relative
humidity) sensor connection. A CEM (option or accessory) is
required to accommodate an RH switch. Reheat is possible
when multiple-step staged gas control option or hydronic heat
field-installed coil is installed. Reheat is also possible using a
heat reclaim coil (field-supplied and installed) or a DX (direct
expansion) reheat coil. The alarm relay may also be used to enable an external reheat device.
Dehumidification and reheat control are allowed during Cooling, Heating, and Vent modes in the Occupied period. Any RH
sensor or a switch may be used.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
The settings for dehumidification can be found at the local dis-
play at Configuration
Dehumidification Configuration (D.SEL)
The dehumidification configuration can be set for the following settings:
•D.SEL = 0 – (NO DEHUMIDIFY) – No dehumidification
and reheat; this is the default.
•D.SEL = 1 – (DH - ST.GAS) – The control will perform
dehumidification and reheat with staged gas only.
•D.SEL = 2 – (DH - RELAY) – The control will perform both
dehumidification and reheat with third party heat via an alarm
relay. In the case of D.SEL=2, during dehumidification, the
alarm relay will close to convey the need for “re-heat.” A typical application might be to energize a 3-way valve to perform
DX reheat.
•D.SEL = 3 – (DH - HUMDZR) – The control will use the
Humidi-MiZer
system has Staged Gas Heat and Humidi-MiZer is selected, then only when Dehumidification results in Heating
demand will Supplemental Staged Gas heat come on, until
the heating demand is satisfied.
Dehumidification Sensor (D.SEN)
The sensor can be configured for the following settings:
•D.SEN = 1 — Initiated by return air relative humidity sensor.
•D.SEN = 2 — Initiated by discrete input.
Economizer Disable in Dehum Mode (D.EC.D)
This configuration determines economizer operation during
Dehumidification mode. This configuration will have a range
of 1 to 2 with default of 1.
The RARH Sensor and discrete input utilized must be compatible with the ComfortLINK hardware and software.
•D.EC.D = YES — Economizer disabled during dehumidification (default).
•D.EC.D = NO — Economizer not disabled during dehumidification.

Vent Reheat Setpoint Select (D.V.CF)
This configuration determines how the vent reheat setpoint is
selected.
•D.V.CF = 0 — Reheat follows an offset subtracted from
return air temperature (D.V.RA).
•D.V.CF = 1 — Reheat follows a dehumidification heat set-
point (D.V.HT).
Vent Reheat RAT Offset (D.V.RA)
Setpoint offset used only during the vent mode. The air will be
reheated to return-air temperature less this offset. This configuration will have a range of 0 to 8°F with default of 0°F.
Vent Reheat Setpoint (D.V.HT)
Setpoint used only during the vent mode. The air will be reheated to this setpoint. This configuration will have a range of
55 to 95°F with default of 70°F.
Dehumidify Cool Setpoint (D.C.SP)
This is the dehumidification cooling setpoint. This configuration will have a range of 40 to 55°F with default of 45°F.
Dehumidify RH Setpoint (D.RH.S)
This is the dehumidification relative humidity trip point. This configuration will have a range of 10 to 90°F with default of 55°F.
Enable Hmzr St Oil Ret (HZ.OR)
[ENHORTST] This configuration can enable or disable the
Humidi-MiZer oil return during service test. It is recommended
leaving this configuration enabled. This configuration will
have a range of DSLB/ENBL with default of ENBL.
OPERATION
Dehumidification and reheat can only occur if the unit is
equipped with staged gas, or hydronic heat, or Humidimizer, or
an external heat source via the alarm relay. Dehumidification
without reheat can be done on any unit but Configuration
DEHU
D.SEL must be set to 0 or 2.
If the machine’s control type is a TSTAT type (Configuration
UNIT
C.TYP=3 or 4) and the economizer is able to provide
cooling, a dehumidification mode may be called out, but the control will not request mechanical cooling and D.EC.D=NO.

Initiating a Dehumidification Mode
To call out a Dehumidification mode in any HVAC mode, one
of the following conditions must be true:
•The space is occupied and the humidity is greater than the
relative humidity trip point (D.RH.S).
•The space is occupied and the discrete humidity input is
closed.
Dehumidification Including Reheat Control
If a dehumidification mode is initiated, the rooftop will attempt
to lower humidity as follows:
•Economizer Cooling — The economizer, if allowed to perform free cooling, will have its control point (Run StatusVIEWEC.C.P) set to Configuration
If Configuration
DEHU
DEHU
D.EC.D is disabled, the econ-
D.C.SP.
omizer will always be disabled during dehumidification.
•Cooling — For all cooling control types: A High Cool
HVAC mode will be requested internally to the control to
maintain diagnostics, although the end user will see a Dehumidification mode at the display (Cooling Dehum). In addition, for multi-stage cooling units the cooling control point
will be set to Configuration
DEHU
D.C.SP (no
SASP reset is applied).
•Reheat When Cooling Demand is Present — For reheat control during dehumidification: If reheat follows an offset subtracted from return-air temperature (Configuration
DEHU
D.SEL = 2), then no heating will be initiated and
the alarm relay will be energized. If Configuration
D.SEL = 1 and Configuration
HEAT
DEHU
HT.CF =
staged gas or hot water valve, then the selected heating control type will operate in the low heat/modulating mode.
•The heating control point will be whatever the actual cooling setpoint would have been (without any supply air reset
applied).
•Reheat During Vent Mode — If configured (Configura-
tion
DEHU
D.V.CF = 0), the heating control point
will be equal to RAT – D.V.RA. If configured (Configura-
tion
DEHU
D.V.CF=1), the heating control point
will be equal to the D.V.HT setpoint. (VENTING DE-HUM) will be displayed for the MODE.
•Dehumidification and Reheat in a Heat Mode — If there is a
Dehum demand and the temperature demand requires heat,
the Heating Dehum will be displayed and in LO-Heat conditions the reheat setpoint will be equal to the Heat Control
point HT.SP. In a High heat condition the Heat will stage up
fully or go to 100%.
Ending Dehumidification and Reheat Control
When either the humidity sensor fall 5% below the setpoint
(Configuration
DEHU
D.RH.S) or the discrete input
reads “LOW”, the Dehumidification mode will end.

Humidi-MiZer Adaptive Dehumidification System
Units with the factory-equipped Humidi-MiZer® option are capable of providing multiple modes of improved dehumidification as a variation of the normal cooling cycle. The design of the
Humidi-MiZer system allows for two humidity control modes of
operation of the rooftop unit, utilizing a common subcooling/reheat dehumidification coil located downstream of the standard
evaporator coil. This allows the rooftop unit to operate in both a
Dehumidification (Subcooling) mode and a hot gas Reheat
Mode for maximum system flexibility. The Humidi-MiZer package is factory installed and will operate whenever there is a dehumidification requirement present. The Humidi-MiZer system
is initiated based on input from a factory installed return air humidity sensor to the large rooftop unit controller. Additionally,
the unit controller may receive an input from a space humidity
sensor, a discrete input from a mechanical humidistat (CEM required), or third-party controller. Dehumidification and reheat
control are allowed during Cooling, Vent, and Heating modes in
the occupied period. In Heating mode, Humidi-MiZer will attempt to reach the higher heating control point, but if it cannot
satisfy heating demand at full capacity, then Staged Gas supplemental heating will activate, if installed.
SETTING UP THE SYSTEM
Settings for Humidi-MiZer system can be found at the local
display at Configuration
OPERATION
Mode Qualifications
An HVAC: Off, Vent or Cool mode must be in effect to launch
a Humidi-MiZer mode. If Staged Gas Heat is available for supplemental reheat, then an HVAC Heat mode may also allow
Humidi-MiZer to activate. When Humidi-MiZer reaches full
capacity, if heating demand persists, then Supplemental Staged
Gas heat will activate.
Sensor Failure
If an associated sensor responsible for controlling HumidiMiZer system fails, dehumidification will not be attempted
(RARH).
Initiating a Humidi-MiZer Reheat or Dehumidification Mode
To call out a Dehumidification mode in any HVAC mode, one
of the following must be true:
•The space is occupied and the humidity is greater than the
relative humidity trip point (D.RH.S).
•The space is occupied and the discrete humidity input is
closed.
Ending a Humidi-MiZer Reheat or Dehumidification Mode
When either the humidity sensor reading falls below the setpoint (Configuration
saved in the Relative Humidity Dead Band (Configuration->
DEHU->DH.DB, default 5%, range 1 to 30%), or the discrete
input reads "LOW," the Humidi-MiZer mode will end.

HUMIDI-MIZER MODES
Dehumidification Mode (Cooling Dehum mode 23)
Three modes exist: Cooling Dehum, Venting Dehum, and
Heating Dehum. Cooling Dehum was previously subcooling.

The Humidi-MiZer coil will reheat to the current normal cooling control point if it is greater than the dehumidification cool
control point. Venting Dehum is the second reheat mode based
on control type temperature demand.
The Dehumidification mode will be engaged to satisfy partload type conditions when there is a space call for cooling and
dehumidification. Although the temperature may have dropped
and decreased the sensible load in the space, the outdoor and/or
space humidity levels may have risen. A typical scenario might
be when the outside air is 85°F and 70 to 80% relative humidity (RH). Desired SHR for equipment in this scenario is typically from 0.4 to 0.7. The Humidi-MiZer unit will initiate Dehumidification mode when the space temperature and humidity
are both above the temperature and humidity setpoints, and attempt to meet both setpoint requirements.
Once the humidity requirement is met, the unit can continue to
operate in normal cooling mode to meet any remaining sensible capacity load. Alternatively, if the sensible load is met and
humidity levels remain high the unit can switch to Hot Gas Reheat mode to provide neutral, dehumidified air.
Venting Dehum mode (24)
This mode is used when dehumidification is required without a
need for cooling, such as when the outside air is at a neutral
temperature but high humidity exists. This situation requires
the equipment to operate at a low SHR of 0.0 to 0.2. With no
cooling requirement and a call for dehumidification, the A Series Humidi-MiZer adaptive dehumidification system will cycle on enough compressors to meet the latent load requirement,
while simultaneously adjusting refrigerant flow to the HumidiMiZer coil to reheat the air to the desired neutral air setpoint.
The A Series Humidi-MiZer system controls allow the discharge air to be reheated to either the return air temperature minus a configurable offset or to a configurable Reheat setpoint
(default 70°F). The hot gas reheat mode will be initiated when
only the humidity is above the humidity setpoint, without a demand for cooling.
Heating Dehum mode (25)
If heating demand occurs along with Dehumidification demand, then the Heating Control setpoint HEATCPNT will be
set to 85°F. If the unit is equipped with Staged Gas heat and
Humidi-MiZer reaches full capacity while heating and dehum
demand persists, then supplemental staged gas heat will add to
the heat created by Humidi-MiZer, in order to meet the higher
heating control point.
System Control
The essential difference between the three Dehumidification
modes is in the supply air setpoint. In Cooling Dehumidification
mode, the supply air setpoint is the temperature required to provide cooling to the space. This temperature is whatever the cooling control point would have been in a normal cooling mode. In
Venting Dehum mode, the supply air setpoint will be either an offset subtracted from return air temperature (D.V.RA) or the Vent
Reheat Setpoint (D.V.HT). Both values are configurable. For
Heating dehum the equipment setpoint for reheat will become the
Heating control point or go to full heat based on the demand seen
for the control type. For all three Dehumidification modes, the unit
compressor staging will decrease the evaporator discharge temperature to the Dehumidify Cool Setpoint (D.C.SP COOL) in or-
der to meet the latent load and reheat the air to the required cooling
or reheat setpoint. There is a thermistor array called Temperatures_AIR.T_CCT connected to the RCB. This thermistor array
serves as the evaporator discharge temperature (EDT). See
Fig. 17. In Heating Dehum the Humidi-MiZer setpoint will become the Heating control setpoint in order to maximize heat from
the reheat coil.

In all Dehumidification modes the three-way
valve is open to the reheat HX. As the percent
Humidi-MiZer capacity increases the Bypass
valve will fully open first, bypassing gas
around the condenser. Then the Condenser
modulating valve will close. From 0 to 50%
Bypass valve is moving; from 50 to 100% the
Condenser modulating valve is moving.
modulating valves vary the amount of refrigerant that enters and/
or bypasses the condenser coil. As the bypassed and hot refrigerant liquid, gas or two-phase mixture passes through the HumidiMiZer coil, it is exposed to the cold supply airflow coming from
the evaporator coil. The refrigerant is subcooled in this coil to a
temperature approaching the evaporator leaving air temperature.
The liquid refrigerant then enters a thermostatic expansion valve
(TXV) where the refrigerant pressure is decreased. The refrigerant
enters the TXV and evaporator coil at a temperature lower than in
standard cooling operation. This lower temperature increases the
latent capacity of the evaporator. The refrigerant passes through
the evaporator and is turned into a superheated vapor. The air
passing over the evaporator coil will become colder than during
normal operation. However, as this same air passes over the Humidi-MiZer reheat coil, it will be warmed to meet the supply air
setpoint temperature requirement. See Fig. 18.
Temperature Compensated Start
This logic is used when the unit is in the unoccupied state. The
control will calculate early Start Bias time based on Space
Temperature deviation from the occupied cooling and heating
setpoints. This will allow the control to start the unit so that the
space is at conditioned levels when the occupied period starts.
This is required for ASHRAE (American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) 90.1 compliance. A space sensor is required for non-linkage applications.

This is the factor for the start time bias equation for cooling.

This is the factor for the start time bias equation for heating.
NOTE: Temperature compensated start is disabled when these
factors are set to 0.

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED START LOGIC
The following conditions must be met:
•Unit is in unoccupied state.
•Next occupied time is valid.
•Current time of day is valid.
•Valid space temperature reading is available (sensor or
DAV-Linkage).
The algorithm will calculate a Start Bias time in minutes using
the following equations:
If (space temperature > occupied cooling setpoint)
Start Bias Time = (space temperature – occupied cooling
setpoint)* TCS.C
If (space temperature < occupied heating setpoint)
Start Bias Time = (occupied heating setpoint – space temperature)*TCS.H
When the Start Bias Time is greater than zero the algorithm will
subtract it from the next occupied time to calculate the new start
time. When the new start time is reached, the Temperature Compensated Start mode is set (Operating Modes
MODE
T. C. S T), the fan is started and unit controlled as in an occupied
state. Once set, Temperature Compensated mode will stay on until
the unit goes into the Occupied mode. The Start Bias Time will be
written into the CCN Linkage Equipment Table if the unit is controlled in DAV mode. If the Unoccupied Economizer Free Cool
mode is active (Operating Modes
HVAC = “UNOCC FREE
COOL”) when temperature compensated start begins, the Unoccupied Free Cool mode will be stopped.
Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) System
It is possible to configure the ComfortLink® control to participate as an element of the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN) system directly from the local display. This section will deal with
explaining the various programmable options which are found
under the CCN sub-menu in the Configuration mode.
The major configurations for CCN programming are located in
the local displays at Configuration
CCN Address (CCNA)
This configuration is the CCN address the rooftop is assigned.
CCN Bus Number (CCNB)
This configuration is the CCN bus the rooftop is assigned.
CCN Baud Rate (BAUD)
This configuration is the CCN baud rate. For units equipped with
the optional UPC, the CCN Baud Rate must be set to 9600.
CCN. See Table 70.
CCN Time/Date Broadcast (TM.DT)
If this configuration is set to ON, the control will periodically
send the time and date out onto the CCN bus once a minute. If
this device is on a CCN network then it will be important to
make sure that only one device on the bus has this configuration set to ON. If more than one time broadcaster is present,
problems with the time will occur.
NOTE: Only the time and date broadcaster can perform daylight
savings time adjustments. Even if the rooftop is stand alone, the
user may want to set this to ON to accomplish the daylight/savings
function.
CCN OAT Broadcast (OAT.B)
If this configuration is set to ON, the control will periodically
broadcast its outside-air temperature at a rate of once every
30 minutes.
CCN OARH Broadcast (ORH.B)
If this configuration is set to ON, the control will periodically
broadcast its outside air relative humidity at a rate of once every
30 minutes.
CCN OAQ Broadcast (OAQ.B)
If this configuration is set to ON, the control will periodically
broadcast its outside air quality reading at a rate of once every
30 minutes.
Global Schedule Broadcast (G.S.B)
If this configuration is set to ON and the schedule number
(SCH.N) is between 65 and 99, then the control will broadcast
the internal time schedule once every 2 minutes.
CCN Broadcast Acknowledger (B.ACK)
If this configuration is set to ON, then when any broadcasting is
done on the bus, this device will respond to and acknowledge.
Only one device per bus can be configured for this option.
Schedule Number (SCH.N)
This configuration determines what schedule the control may
follow.
SCH.N = 0The control is always occupied.
SCH.N = 1The control follows its internal time schedules.
The user may enter any number between 1
and 64 but it will be overwritten to “1” by the
control as it only has one internal schedule.
SCH.N = 65-99The control is either set up to receive to a
broadcasted time schedule set to this number
or the control is set up to broadcast its internal time schedule (G.S.B) to the network and
this is the global schedule number it is broadcasting. If this is the case, then the control
still follows its internal time schedules.

Override Time Limit (O.T.L)
This configuration allows the user to decide how long an override occurs when it is initiated. The override may be configured from 1 to 4 hours. If the time is set to 0, the override function will become disabled.
Timed Override Hours (OV.EX)
This displays the current number of hours left in an override. It
is possible to cancel an override in progress by writing “0” to
this variable, thereby removing the override time left.
SPT Override Enabled? (SPT.O)
If a space sensor is present, then it is possible to override an
unoccupied period by pushing the override button on the T55
or T56 sensor. This option allows the user to disable this function by setting this configuration to NO.
T58 Override Enabled? (T58.O)
The T58 sensor is a CCN device that allows cooling/heating
setpoints to be adjusted, space temperature to be written to the
rooftop unit, and the ability to initiate a timed override. This
option allows the user to disable the override initiated from the
T58 sensor by setting this option to NO.
Global Schedule Override? (GL.OV)
If the control is set to receive global schedules then it is also
possible for the global schedule broadcaster to call out an override condition as well. This configuration allows the user to
disable the global schedule broadcaster from overriding the
control.

is ON, the unit will forced into the occupied mode. When
the remote switch is OFF, the unit will be forced into the
unoccupied mode.
•2 — STRT/STOP — The remote switch input will start
and stop the unit. When the unit is commanded to stop, any
timeguards in place on compressors will be honored first.
When the remote switch is ON, the unit will be commanded to stop. When the remote switch is OFF the unit will be
enabled to operate.
•3 — OVERRIDE SW — The remote switch can be used to
override any internal or external time schedule being used
by the control and force the unit into an occupied mode
when the remote input state is ON. When the remote
switch is ON, the unit will be forced into an occupied state.
When the remote switch is OFF, the unit will use its internal or external time schedules.
The control allows for the configuration of a normally open/closed
status of the remote input switch via RMI.L. If this variable is configured OPEN, then when the switch is open, the remote input
switch perceives the logic state as OFF. Correspondingly, if
RMI.L is set to CLOSED, the remote input switch will perceive a
closed switch as meaning OFF. See Tables 75 and 76.
Hot Gas Bypass
Hot gas bypass is an active part of the A Series ComfortLink
capacity staging and minimum evaporator load protection
functions. It is controlled though the Minimum Load Valve
function.
The hot gas bypass option consists of a solenoid valve with a
bypass. A hot gas refrigerant line routes the bypassed hot gas
from Circuit A’s discharge line to Circuit A’s evaporator distributor. When the unit control calls for hot gas bypass, the hot
gas enters the evaporator coil and adds refrigeration load to the
compressor circuit to reduce the cooling effect from Circuit A.
The hot gas bypass system is a factory-installed option installed on Circuit A only. This function is enabled at Configu-
ration
COOL
MLV. When this function is enabled, an
additional stage of cooling capacity is provided by the unit
control staging sequences (see Tables 38, 39, 43, and 45).
Space Temperature Offset

TROUBLESHOOTING
The scrolling marquee display shows the actual operating conditions of the unit while it is running. If there are alarms or
there have been alarms, they will be displayed in either the current alarm list or the history alarm list. The Service Test mode
allows proper operation of the compressors, fans, and other
components to be checked while the unit is not operating.
Complete Unit Stoppage
There are several conditions that can cause the unit not to provide heating or cooling. If an alarm is active which causes the
unit to shut down, diagnose the problem using the information
provided in the Alarms and Alerts section on page 101, but
also check for the following:
•Cooling and heating loads are satisfied.
•Programmed schedule.
•General power failure.
•Tripped control circuit transformers circuit breakers.
•Tripped compressor circuit breakers.
•Unit is turned off through the CCN network.
Single Circuit Stoppage
If a single circuit stops incorrectly, there are several possible
causes. The problem should be investigated using information
from the Alarms and Alerts section on page 101.
Service Analysis
Detailed service analysis can be found in Tables 78-81 and in
Fig. 19.
Restart Procedure
Before attempting to restart the machine, check the alarm list
to determine the cause of the shutdown. If the shutdown alarm
for a particular circuit has occurred, determine and correct the
cause before allowing the unit to run under its own control
again. When there is problem, the unit should be diagnosed in
Service Test mode. The alarms must be reset before the circuit
can operate in either Normal mode or Service Test mode.
83
Humidi-MiZer Troubleshooting
Use the unit scrolling marquee or a CCN device to view the status display and the diagnostic display for information concerning
cooling operation with the Humidi-MiZer system. Check the
Current Alarms and Alarm History for any unresolved alarm
codes and correct. Verify Humidi-MiZer configuration settings
are correct for the site requirements. If alarm conditions are corrected and cleared, then operation of the compressors, fans, and
Humidi-MiZer valves may be verified by using the Service Test
mode. By attaching temperature probes across the 3-way valve,
verify the temperature profiles satisfy the corresponding mode
setting. See page 23 for Service Test information. In addition to
the Cooling Service Analysis (Table 78), see the Humidi-MiZer
Service Analysis (Table 79) for more information.
Thermistor Troubleshooting
See Tables 82-84 for temperature vs. resistance data.
When replacing thermistors SCT.A and SCT.B, reuse the origi-
nal hardware. These thermistors must be clamped tightly to the
hairpins of the condenser.
The EDT, OAT, RAT, LAT, SAT, T55, T56, and T58 space temperature sensors use 10K thermistors. Resistances at various
temperatures are listed in Tables 85 and 86.
The 48/50A units with the optional variable capacity digital
compressor are equipped with a digital scroll discharge thermistor (DTT). The DTT is an 86K thermistor connected to RXB
at plug J6, terminals 3 and 4. The resistance values are listed in
Table 87.
THERMISTOR/TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK
A high quality digital volt-ohmmeter is required to perform
this check.
1. Connect the digital voltmeter across the appropriate thermistor terminals at the J8 terminal strip on the main base board.
2. Using the voltage reading obtained, read the sensor temperature from Tables 82-87.
3. To check thermistor accuracy, measure temperature at
probe location with an accurate thermocouple-type temperature-measuring instrument. Insulate thermocouple to
avoid ambient temperatures from influencing reading.
Temperature measured by thermocouple and temperature
determined from thermistor voltage reading should be
close, 5°F (3°C) if care was taken in applying thermocouple and taking readings.
If a more accurate check is required, unit must be shut down
and thermistor removed and checked at a known temperature
(freezing point or boiling point of water) using either voltage
drop measured across thermistor at the J8 terminal, or by determining the resistance with unit shut down and thermistor disconnected from J8. Compare the values determined with the
value read by the control in the Temperatures mode using the
scrolling marquee display.
Transducer Troubleshooting
On 48/50A units, the electronic control uses 4 pressure transducers to measure the suction and discharge pressure of circuits A and
B. The pressure/voltage characteristics of these transducers are
shown in Tables 88 and 89. The accuracy of these transducers can
be verified by connecting an accurate pressure gage to the second
refrigerant port in the suction line.

Next Stage EDT Decrease (ADD.R)
This variable represents (if adding a stage of cooling) how
much the temperature should drop in degrees depending on the
R.PCT calculation and how much additional capacity is to be
added.
ADD.R = R.PCT * (C.CAP – capacity after adding a cooling
stage)
For example: If R.PCT = 0.2 and the control would be adding
20% cooling capacity by taking the next step up, 0.2 times 20 =
4°F ADD.R.
Next Stage EDT Increase (SUB.R)
This variable represents (if subtracting a stage of cooling) how
much the temperature should rise in degrees depending on the
R.PCT calculation and how much capacity is to be subtracted.
SUB.R = R.PCT * (C.CAP – capacity after subtracting a cool-
ing stage)
For Example: If R.PCT = 0.2 and the control would be subtract-
ing 30% capacity by taking the next step down, 0.2 times –30 =
–6°F SUB.R.
Rise Per Percent Capacity (R.PCT)
This is a real time calculation that represents the amount of degrees of drop/rise across the evaporator coil versus percent of
current running capacity.
R.PCT = (MAT – EDT)/C.CAP
Cap Deadband Subtracting (Y.MIN)
This is a control variable used for Low Temp Override
(L.TMP) and Slow Change Override (SLOW).
Y.MIN = –SUB.R*0.4375
Cap Deadband Adding (Y.PLU)
This is a control variable used for High Temp Override
(H.TMP) and Slow Change Override (SLOW).
Y.PLU = –ADD.R*0.4375
Cap Threshold Subtracting (Z.MIN)
This parameter is used in the calculation of SMZ and is calculated as follows:
Z.MIN = Configuration
COOL
Z.GN * (–10 + (4*
(–SUB.R))) * 0.6
Cap Threshold Adding (Z.PLU)
This parameter is used in the calculation of SMZ and is calculated as follows:
Z.PLU = Configuration
COOL
Z.GN * (10 + (4*
(–ADD.R))) * 0.6
High Temp Cap Override (H.TMP)
If stages of mechanical cooling are on and the error is greater
than twice Y.PLU , and the rate of change of error is greater
than 0.5F, then a stage of mechanical cooling will be added
every 30 seconds. This override is intended to react to situations where the load rapidly increases.
Low Temp Cap Override (L.TMP)
If the error is less than twice Y.MIN, and the rate of change of
error is less than –0.5F, then a mechanical stage will be removed every 30 seconds. This override is intended to quickly
react to situations where the load is rapidly reduced.
Pull Down Cap Override (PULL)
If the error from setpoint is above 4F, and the rate of change is
less than –1F per minute, then pulldown is in effect, and
“SUM” is set to 0. This keeps mechanical cooling stages from
being added when the error is very large, but there is no load in
the space. Pulldown for units is expected to rarely occur, but is
included for the rare situation when it is needed. Most likely
pulldown will occur when mechanical cooling first becomes
available shortly after the control goes into an occupied mode
(after a warm unoccupied mode).
Slow Change Cap Override (SLOW)
With a rooftop unit, the design rise at 100% total unit capacity
is generally around 30F. For a unit with 4 stages, each stage
represents about 7.5F of change to EDT. If stages could reliably be cycled at very fast rates, the setpoint could be maintained very precisely. Since it is not desirable to cycle compressors more than 6 cycles per hour, slow change override takes
care of keeping the PID under control when “relatively” close
to setpoint.
