Smoke Purge Mode — This mode attempts to draw out<br />

smoke from the space after the emergency condition. Opening<br />

the economizer (thereby closing the return-air damper), turning<br />

on both the power exhaust <strong>and</strong> indoor fan will evacuate smoke<br />

<strong>and</strong> bring in fresh air.<br />

Indoor Air Quality Control — The indoor air quality<br />

(IAQ) function will admit fresh air into the space whenever<br />

space air quality sensors detect high levels of CO2. When a space or return air CO2 sensor is connected to the<br />

unit control, the unit’s IAQ routine allows a dem<strong>and</strong>-based<br />

control for ventilation air quantity, by providing a modulating<br />

outside air damper position that is proportional to CO2 level.<br />

The ventilation damper position is varied between a minimum<br />

ventilation level (based on internal sources of contaminants<br />

<strong>and</strong> CO2 levels other than from the effect of people) <strong>and</strong> the<br />

maximum design ventilation level (determined at maximum<br />

populated status in the building). Dem<strong>and</strong> controlled ventilation<br />

(DCV) is also available when the ComfortLink unit is<br />

connected to a CCN system using ComfortID terminal<br />

controls.<br />

This function also provides alternative control methods for<br />

controlling the amount of ventilation air being admitted,<br />

including fixed outdoor air ventilation rates (measured as cfm),<br />

external discrete sensor switch input <strong>and</strong> externally generated<br />

proportional signal controls.<br />

The IAQ function requires the installation of the factoryoption<br />

economizer system. The DCV sequences also require<br />

the connection of accessory (or field-supplied) space or return<br />

air CO2 sensors. Fixed cfm rate control requires the factoryinstalled<br />

outdoor air cfm option. External control of the<br />

ventilation position requires supplemental devices, including a<br />

75<br />

4 to 20 mA signal, a 10-kilo-ohm potentiometer, or a discrete<br />

switch input, depending on the method selected. Outside air<br />

CO 2 levels may also be monitored directly <strong>and</strong> high CO 2<br />

economizer restriction applied when an outdoor air CO 2 sensor<br />

is connected. (The outdoor CO 2 sensor connection requires<br />

installation of the controls expansion module [CEM].)<br />

The ComfortLink controls have the capability of DCV using<br />

an IAQ sensor. The indoor air quality (IAQ) is measured<br />

using a CO 2 sensor whose measurements are displayed in parts<br />

per million (ppm). The IAQ sensor can be field-installed in the<br />

return duct. There is also an accessory space IAQ sensor that<br />

can be installed directly in the occupied space. The sensor must<br />

provide a 4 to 20 mA output signal. The sensor connects to<br />

TB201 terminals 7 <strong>and</strong> 8. Be sure to leave the 182-ohm resistor<br />

in place on terminals 7 <strong>and</strong> 8.<br />

OPERATION — The unit’s indoor air quality algorithm modulates<br />

the position of the economizer damper between two user<br />

configurations depending upon the relationship between the<br />

IAQ <strong>and</strong> the outdoor air quality (OAQ). Both of these values<br />

can be read at the InputsAIR.Q submenu. The lower of these<br />

two configurable positions is referred to as the IAQ Dem<strong>and</strong><br />

Vent Min Position (IAQ.M), while the higher is referred to as<br />

Economizer Minimum Position (EC.MN). The IAQ.M should<br />

be set to an economizer position that brings in enough fresh air<br />

to remove contaminants <strong>and</strong> CO 2 generated by sources other<br />

than people. The EC.MN value should be set to an economizer<br />

position that brings in enough fresh air to remove contaminants<br />

<strong>and</strong> CO 2 generated by all sources including people. The<br />

EC.MN value is the design value for maximum occupancy.<br />

The logic that is used to control the dampers in response to<br />

IAQ conditions is shown in Fig. 13. The ComfortLink controls<br />

will begin to open the damper from the IAQ.M position when<br />

the IAQ level begins to exceed the OAQ level by a configurable<br />

amount, which is referred to as Differential Air Quality<br />

Low Limit (DAQ.L).<br />

If OAQ is not being measured, OAQ can be manually configured.<br />

It should be set at around 400 to 450 ppm or measured<br />

with a h<strong>and</strong>held sensor during the commissioning of the unit.<br />

The OAQ reference level can be set using the OAQ Reference<br />

Set Point (OAQ.U). When the differential between IAQ <strong>and</strong><br />

OAQ reaches the configurable Diff. Air Quality Hi Limit<br />

(DAQ.H), then the economizer position will be EC.MN.<br />

When the IAQ–OAQ differential is between DAQ.L <strong>and</strong><br />

DAQ.H, the control will modulate the damper between IAQ.M<br />

<strong>and</strong> EC.MN as shown in Fig. 13. The relationship is a linear<br />

relationship but other non-linear options can be used. The<br />

damper position will never exceed the bounds specified by<br />

IAQ.M <strong>and</strong> EC.MN during IAQ control.<br />

If the building is occupied <strong>and</strong> the indoor fan is running <strong>and</strong><br />

the differential between IAQ <strong>and</strong> OAQ is less than DAQ.L, the<br />

economizer will remain at IAQ.M. The economizer will not<br />

close completely. The damper position will be 0 when the fan<br />

is not running or the building is unoccupied. The damper position<br />

may exceed EC.MN in order to provide free cooling.<br />

The ComfortLink controls are configured for air quality<br />

sensors which provide 4 mA at 0 ppm <strong>and</strong> 20 mA at 2000 ppm.<br />

If a sensor has a different range, these bounds must be<br />

reconfigured. These pertinent configurations for ranging the air<br />

quality sensors are IQ.R.L, IQ.R.H, OQ.R.L <strong>and</strong> OQ.R.H. The<br />

bounds represent the PPM corresponding to 4 mA (low) <strong>and</strong><br />

20 mA (high) for IAQ <strong>and</strong> OAQ, respectively.<br />

If OAQ exceeds the OAQ Lockout Value (OAQ.L), then the<br />

economizer will remain at IAQ.M. This is used to limit the use<br />

of outside air which outdoor air CO 2 levels are above the<br />

OAQ.L limit. Normally a linear control of the damper vs. the<br />

IAQ control signal can be used, but the control also supports<br />

non-linear control. Different curves can be used based on the<br />

Diff.IAQ Responsiveness Variable (IAQ.R). See Fig. 14.
