Chapter 4 Input/output functions and wiring for typical applications

For units not configured as changeover units, the entering water temper- ature value is used for information and troubleshooting only and does not affect the operation of the controller.

Note:

AI1 is not polarity sensitive; you can connect either terminal to either sensor lead.

AI2: Discharge air temperature

The AI2 analog input functions as the local discharge air temperature input.

IMPORTANT

The Tracer ZN521 cannot operate without a valid discharge air tempera- ture value.

The controller receives the temperature as a resistance signal from a

10 kΩ thermistor wired to analog input AI2. The thermistor is typically located downstream from all unit heating and cooling coils at the unit dis- charge area.

If a discharge air temperature value is invalid or is not present, the con- troller generates a Discharge Air Temp Failure diagnostic and shuts down the equipment. When the thermistor returns to a valid tempera- ture, the controller automatically allows the equipment to resume normal operation.

Note:

AI2 is not polarity sensitive; you can connect either terminal to either sensor lead.

AI3: Outdoor air temperature or generic temperature

The AI3 analog input can function as either:

An outdoor air temperature input

A generic temperature input

If AI3 is configured as the local (hard-wired) outdoor air temperature input, the controller receives the temperature as a resistance signal from a 10 kΩ thermistor wired to analog input AI3. An outdoor air tempera- ture value communicated by means of a LonTalk link can also be used for controllers operating on a BAS. If both hard-wired and communicated outdoor air temperature values are present, the controller uses the com- municated value. If a valid hard-wired or communicated outdoor air tem- perature value is established and then is no longer present, the controller generates an Outdoor Air Temp Failure diagnostic.
