Table 22 — PARABLADE Economizer Troubleshooting
PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY
Damper does not open. Evaporator fan not on. Check wiring between G on connection board and indoor fan contactor.
No power to economizer motor. 1. Disconnect power at TR and TR1. Disconnect jumper across P and P1.
2. Connect jumper across TR and 1.
3. Connect jumper across T1 and T.
4. If connected, remove enthalpy sensor from terminals S
0
and +. Factory-
installed 620 ohm resistor should be connected to terminals S
R
and +.
5. Apply power (24 vac) to terminals TR and TR1. The LED should be off
and the damper should be in the closed position.
6. Disconnect the factory-installed 620 ohm resistor from terminals S
R
and
+. The LED should light up and the motor should drive towards open. If
this does not happen, replace the economizer control module.
Economizer motor failure. If the indoor fan and economizer motor are energized, verify that there is a
minimum of 24 vac at terminals TR and TR1. If the motor is not operating,
replace the motor.
Economizer operation
limited to minimum
position.
Economizer control module
failure.
1. To simulate high or low enthalpy, reconnect the factory-installed 620 ohm
resistor across terminals S
R
and +.
2. Connect 1.2 Kohm checkout resistor across terminals S
O
and +. Turn the
enthalpy set point to ‘‘A.’’ The LED should turn on, indicating low en-
thalpy. The motor should drive towards open. If LED does not light, re-
place module. If motor does not drive open, check motor operation.
3. Turn the enthalpy set point to ‘‘D.’’ The LED should turn off, indicating
high enthalpy. The motor should drive towards closed. If these actions do
not occur, replace module.
4. Disconnection 1.2 Kohm checkout resistor before resuming operation.
Damper does not close. No power to economizer. 1. Disconnect power at TR and TR1. Disconnect jumper across P and P1.
2. Connect jumper across TR and 1.
3. Connect jumper across T1 and T.
4. If connected, remove enthalpy sensor from terminals S
O
and +. Factory-
installed 620 ohm resistor should be connected to terminals S
R
and +.
5. Apply power (24 Vac) to terminals TR and TR1. The LED should be off
and the damper should be in the closed position.
6. Disconnect the factory-installed 620 ohm resistor from terminals S
R
and
+. The LED should light up and the motor should drive towards open. If
this does not happen, replace the economizer control module.
Return spring failure. If power to unit is off and damper does not close, check for a bound linkage.
If linkage is not bound, then internal spring may be broken. Replace
actuator.
Economizer motor failure. If the economizer control module is functioning properly, verify that there is a
minimum of 24 Vac at terminals TR and TR1. If the motor is not operating,
replace the motor.
Damper does not open
or close according to
enthalpy readings.
Sensor incorrectly wired or bad. To verify sensor operation, reconnect the + lead of the outdoor enthalpy sen-
sor to the + terminal of the economizer control module. Connect a DC mil-
liammeter between terminals S
O
of the economizer control module and
terminals S of the enthalpy sensor. The milliammeter should indicate be-
tween 3 and 25 mA if the sensor is operating properly. If the milliammeter
indicates 0, the sensor may be wired backwards. If any other readings are
shown, replace the sensor.
