Troubleshooting 6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING Table 3 Liebert Air Economizer troubleshooting Problem Reduced Airflow High/Low Temp High/Low Humidity Moisture enters unit Contaminants or particulates enter conditioned space Pollen, objectionable or noxious odors or gases enter conditioned space Air damper—outside or room return—does not open or does not close No damper function or signals to damper Unit is not operating the Liebert Air Economizer when it should.
Troubleshooting Table 3 Liebert Air Economizer troubleshooting (continued) Problem Possible Cause Remedy The room is over pressurized when air economizer demand is high. Room pressure relief vent not adequately sized. See design engineer for further assistance. The fan is not ramping according to deviation from the fan temperature setpoint. The fan speed is increasing with the call for the Liebert Air Economizer. Consider disabling S16B of Service Menus> Setpoints.
