Troubleshooting

Table 19. Valves remain open

 

 

 

Probable cause

Explanation

 

 

 

Unit wiring

The wiring between the controller outputs and the valve(s) must be present and correct

 

for normal valve operation. Refer to applicable wiring diagram.

 

 

 

Failed end device

The valves must be checked to ensure proper operations.

 

 

 

Normal operation

The controller opens and closes the valves to meet the unit capacity requirements.

 

 

 

Manual output test

The controller includes a manual output test sequence you can use to verify output oper-

 

ation and associated output wiring. However, based on the current step in the test

 

sequence, the values may not be open. refer to the “Manual output test” on page 52.

 

 

 

Diagnostic present

Several diagnostics affect valve operation. For information about these diagnostics, see

 

Table 16 on page 59.

 

 

 

Unit configuration

The controller must be properly configured based on the actual installed end devices and

 

application. If the unit configuration does not match the actual end device, the valves may

 

not work correctly.

 

 

 

Entering water

The controller includes entering water temperature sampling logic, which is automatically

temperature

initiated during 2-pipe and 4-pipe changeover if the entering water temperature is either

sampling logic

too cool or too hot for the desired heating or cooling. (See “AI1: Entering water tempera-

 

ture” on page 17.)

 

 

 

Valve configuration

Make sure the valves are correctly configured, using the Rover service tool, as normally

 

open or normally closed as dictated by the application.

 

 

 

Freeze avoidance

When the fan is off with no demand for capacity (0%) and the outdoor air temperature is

 

below the freeze avoidance setpoint, the controller opens the water valves (100%) to pre-

 

vent coil freezing. This includes unoccupied mode when there is no call for capacity or

 

any other time the fan is off.

 

 

 

Table 20. DX or electric heat does not energize

 

 

 

Probable cause

Explanation

 

 

 

 

Unit wiring

The wiring between the controller outputs and the end devices must be present and cor-

 

 

rect for normal operation. Refer to applicable wiring diagram.

 

 

 

 

Failed end device

Check the control contactors or the electric heat element, including any auxiliary safety

 

 

interlocks, to ensure proper operation.

 

 

 

 

No power to the

If the controller does not have power, heat outputs do not operate. For the Tracer ZN521

 

controller

controller to operate normally, you must apply an input voltage of 24 Vac. If the green

 

 

LED is off continuously, the controller does not have sufficient power or has failed.

 

 

 

 

Diagnostic present

Several diagnostics affect DX and electric heat operation. For information about these

 

 

diagnostics, see Table 16 on page 59.

 

 

 

 

Normal operation

The controller controls compressor or electric heat outputs as needed to meet the unit

 

 

capacity requirements.

application. If the unit configuration does not match the actual end device, DX or electric

 

 

heat may not operate correctly.

 

 

 

 

Manual output test

The controller includes a manual output test sequence you can use to verify output oper-

 

 

ation and associated output wiring. However, based on the current step in the test

 

 

sequence, the DX or electric heat outputs may be off. Refer to the “Manual output test”
