Chaper 4 – Troubleshooting
This chapter describes corrective measures you can take should you encounter a problem when using a BACnet ATEC.
You are not required to do any controller troubleshooting. You may want to contact your local Siemens Industry representative if a problem occurs or you have any questions about the controller.
NOTE:
When troubleshooting, record what the problem is and what actions were performed immediately before the problem occurred. Being able to describe the problem in detail is important, should you need assistance from your local Siemens Industry representative.
Basic Service Information
Always remove power to the BACnet ATEC when installing or replacing it. Since the controller does not have a power switch, the recommended method of removing power to a locally powered controller is to turn OFF the power to the 24 Vac transformer. The recommended method of removing power to a controller on a power cable (even to service a single controller) is to turn OFF the power at the transformer.
NOTE:
When removing power to a controller to perform maintenance or service, make sure that the person in charge of the facility is aware of this and that appropriate steps are taken to keep the building in control.
Never remove the cover from the BACnet ATEC. There are no serviceable parts inside. If a problem is found with this device, contact your local Siemens Building Technologies representative for replacement. An
Preventive Maintenance
Most controller components are designed so that, under normal circumstances, they do not require preventive maintenance. Periodic inspections, voltage checks, and point checks are normally not required. The rugged design makes most preventive maintenance unnecessary. However, devices that are exposed to dusty or dirty environments may require periodic cleaning to function properly.
