Belimo ECON-ZIP-BASE Economizer Base Unit
The Belimo ECON-ZIP-BASE is the foundation of the ZIP Economizer system, engineered to provide high-efficiency air-side economizing for Packaged Rooftop Units (RTUs). This base unit features a backlit LCD interface that facilitates intuitive setup, providing instant feedback for Title 24 compliance and IECC requirements. Designed for reliability in demanding environments, the controller accepts inputs from C7400S enthalpy sensors and manages modulating actuator outputs to optimize free cooling cycles. It integrates seamless DCV (Demand Control Ventilation) logic through carbon dioxide sensing, ensuring precise indoor air quality control. The unit supports on-board diagnostics, allowing technicians to troubleshoot damper positioning and sensor faults without additional specialized tools. With its plug-and-play design, the ECON-ZIP-BASE simplifies the replacement of legacy analog controllers while enhancing the efficiency of the HVAC mechanical system through integrated high-limit control and low-temperature lockout functions.
Key Benefits
- Streamlined Title 24 economizer setup via user-friendly configuration menus.
- Robust on-board diagnostics to quickly identify sensor errors and mechanical faults.
- Optimized Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) integration for reduced energy consumption.
- Clear LCD status feedback for real-time monitoring of damper position and operating mode.
- Compatible with Belimo ZIP sensors for enthalpy and dry bulb changeover strategies.
Common Questions
How does the ECON-ZIP-BASE assist with energy code compliance?
The unit includes pre-programmed logic that meets or exceeds ASHRAE 90.1 and California Title 24 standards, automating the required alarm notifications and efficiency parameters.
Can this base unit operate without the optional communication modules?
Yes, the ECON-ZIP-BASE functions as a standalone controller for standard economizer operations. Add-on modules are only necessary for BACnet or LonWorks integration.
What types of actuators are compatible with this unit?
It is designed to drive 2-10 VDC modulating actuators, such as the Belimo LMB or NMB series, providing precise control of the outside air dampers.
