Outdoor Air Damper Control
Economizer Cooling
Symbio™ 700 supports a 0 to 100% economizer damper which requires a discharge air temperature
sensor to be installed for economizer cooling. There are four configurable economizer types: fixed dry
bulb, differential dry bulb, reference enthalpy, and comparative enthalpy. Each type, enable, and the
high limit disable criteria are defined as follows.

While the configuration parameters will be used to determine which method of economizer control will
be utilized, the table below describes the needed sensor data for each control method.
