A proportional anticipatory strategy should be taken with the
following conditions: a zone with a large area, varied occupancy,
and equipment that cannot exceed the required ventilation rate at
design conditions. Exceeding the required ventilation rate means
the equipment can co ndition air at a maximum ventilation rate
that is greater than the required ventilation rate for maximum
occupancy. A proportional-anticipatory strategy will cause the
fresh air supplied to increase as the room CO
2
level increases
even though the CO
2
set poi nt has not been reached. By the time
the CO
2
level reaches the set point, the damper will be at
maxi mum ventilation and should maintain the set point.
In order to have the CO
2
sensor control the economizer damper in
this manner, first determine the damper voltage output for
mini mum or base ventilation. Base ventilation is the ventilation
required to remove contaminants during unoccupied periods. The
following equation may be used to determine the percent of
outside-air entering the building for a given damper position. For
best results there should be at least a 10 degree difference in
outside and return-air temperatures.

Once base ventilation has been determined, set the minimum
damper position potentiometer to the correct position.
The same equation can be used to determine the occupied or
maximum ventilation rate to the building. For e xample, an output
of 3.6 volts to the actuator provides a ba se ventilation rate of 5%
and an output of 6.7 volts provides the maximum ventilation rate
of 20% (or base plus 15 cfm per person). Use Fig. 38 to
determine the m aximum setting of the CO
2
sensor. For example,
a 1100 ppm set point relates to a 15 cfm per person design. Use
the 1100 ppm curve on Fig. 38 to find the point when the CO
2
sensor output will be 6.7 volts. Line up the point on the graph
with the left side of the chart to determine that the range
configuration for the CO
2
sensor should be 1800 ppm. The
EconoMi$er IV controller will output the 6.7 volts from the CO
2
sensor to the actuator when the CO
2
concentration in the space is
at 1100 ppm. The DCV set point may be left at 2 volts since the
CO
2
sensor voltage will be ignored by the EconoMi$er IV
controller until it rises above the 3.6 volt setting of the mi nimum
pos ition potentiometer.
Once the fully occupi ed damper position has been determined, set
the maximum d amper demand control ventilation potentiome ter
to this position. Do not set to the maximum position a s thi s can
result in over-ventilation to the space and potential high- humidity
levels.

Use setting 1 or 2 for Bryant equipment. (See Table 7.)
1. Press Clear and Mode buttons. Hold at least 5 seconds
until the sensor enters the Edit mode.
2. Press Mode twice. The STDSET Menu will appear.
3. Use the Up/Down button to select the preset number. (See
Table 7.)
4. Press Enter to lock in the s election.
5. Press Mode to exit and resume normal operation.
The custom settings of the CO
2
sensor can be changed anytime
after the sensor is ener gized. Follow the steps below to change the
non-standard settings:
1. Press Clear and Mode buttons. Hold at least 5 seconds
until the sensor enters the Edit mode.
2. Press Mode twice. The STDSET Menu will appear.
3. Use the Up/Down button to toggle to the NONSTD menu
and press Enter.
4. Use the Up/Down button to toggle through each of the
nine variables, starting with Altitude, until the desired
setting is reached.
5. Press Mode to move through the variables.
6. Press Enter to lock in the selection, then press Mode to
continue to the next variable.
