FAMCO IAQ Economizer 

OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS (INSTALLATION DIAGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE AT 
famcoiaq.com/manuals 

Installation of optional devices has been kept separate from the main portion of the install 
directions because optional functions are numerous, and will vary from install to install. 

LIMIT 

- Any number of limits may be used with the system.  Limits are used to LIMIT the 

operation of the system to conditions deemed safe by the limits installed.  If for instance a limit 
is installed for outside air temperature, and that limit is set to OPEN below an outside 
temperature of 40 degrees F; the system will not allow an introduction during conditions at or 
below 40 degrees F.  This includes attempted outdoor air introductions using the override and 
introductions that occur automatically.  The one exception being starts initiated using AUX 
START 1. 

Typical Uses: Outdoor air low or high limit, outdoor humidity or dew point limit.   

Multiple devices need to be wired in series. 

 

T2 

- Input used to allow a different setpoint to call for economizer operation other than the 

existing HVAC thermostat.  Typical use is to allow a lower ventilation cooling setpoint than the 
mechanical cooling setpoint.  Using T2 requires that the outside air temperature requirements 
be met for ventilation cooling, and that LIMITs also be met before an air introduction is 
allowed. 

Typical Use: Along with providing a separate ventilation cooling setpoint, T2 can also be used 
for additional timers when the occupant prefers that overrides are only executed during times 
when the outdoor air temperature is conducive for cooling. 

Multiple devices need to be wired in parallel. 

 

 

AUX START 1

 - Will initiate air introduction regardless of all other system configurations.  If this 

input is made the system will open dampers and attempt to start the fan regardless of ALL 
other conditions. 

Typical Use: CO or other Alarm to start system.
