Table 13: Fan output does not energize

Probable Cause

Explanation

 

 

Random start observed.

After power up, the controller always observes a random start from 0 to 25

seconds. The controller remains off until the random start time expires.

 

 

 

 

When power up control wait is enabled (non-zero time), the controller remains

 

off until one of two conditions occurs:

Power up control wait.

z The controller exits power up control wait once it receives commu-

nicated information.

 

 

z The controller exits power up control wait once the power up control

 

wait time expires.

 

 

 

When configured to cycle with capacity, normally the unit fan cycles off with

heating or cooling. The heating/cooling sources cycle on or off periodically with

 

the unit fan to provide varying amounts of capacity to the space.

 

 

 

Even when the controller is configured for continuous fan operation, the fan

normally cycles with capacity during unoccupied mode. While unoccupied, the

fan cycles on or off with heating/cooling to provide varying amounts of heating

 

 

or cooling to the space.

 

 

Fan mode off.

When a local fan mode switch determines the fan operation, the off position

controls the unit fan off.

 

 

 

 

The desired operating mode (such as off, heat and cool) can be communicated to

the controller. When off is communicated to the controller, the unit controls the

 

fan off. There is no heating or cooling.

 

 

Diagnostic present.

A specific list of diagnostics affects fan operation. See Diagnostics section on

page 27.

 

 

 

 

If the controller does not have power, the unit fan does not operate. For the

Unit configuration.

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

devices and application.

 

 

 

 

The controller includes a manual output test sequence that may be used to verify

Unit wiring.

The wiring between the controller outputs and the fan relays and contacts must

be present and correct for normal fan operation.
