Checking the Solenoid Valves
To check the solenoid valves:
1.
Listen to the valves. They produce an audible click when changing
states. This should happen approximately every sixty seconds.
2.
Time the changes in the valves. Are the solenoid valves changing
state in the proper sequence (as detailed in Table 3)?

Calculating the OA Flow
To calculate the outdoor air flow:
1.
Wait ten minutes after initial startup or until the system appears to
have stabilized (when one CO
2
value is measured every minute).
2.
After system has stabilized, verify that the CO
2
levels coordinate
with the following equation:
[OA CO
2
] ≤ [SA_CO
2
] ≤ [RA_CO

]
