Table 17. Fan does not energize (Continued)

Probable cause

Explanation

 

 

Cycling fan operation/

The controller operates the fan continuously when in the occupied, occupied standby, or

continuous

occupied bypass mode. When the controller is in the unoccupied mode, the fan is cycled

 

between high speed and off with capacity.

 

 

Unoccupied operation

Even if 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

If a local fan mode switch determines the fan operation, the off position controls the fan

 

off.

 

 

Requested mode off

You can communicate a desired operating mode (such as off, heat, and cool) to the con-

 

troller. If off is communicated to the controller, the unit controls the fan off. There is no

 

heating or cooling.

 

 

Table 18. Valves remain closed

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 operation.

 

 

No power to the con-

If the controller does not have power, the unit valve(s) will not operate. For the Tracer

troller

ZN521 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.

 

 

Power-up control-wait

If power-up control-wait is enabled (non-zero time), the controller remains off until one of

 

two conditions occurs:

 

1) The controller exits power-up control-wait after it receives communicated information.

 

2) The controller exits power-up control-wait after the power-up control-wait time expires.

 

 

Diagnostic present

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

 

Table 16 on page 59.

 

 

Normal operation

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

 

 

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.

 

 

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 valves may not be open. Refer to the “Manual output test” on page 52.

 

 

Random start

After power-up, the controller always observes a random start from 5 to 30 seconds. The

observed

controller remains off until the random start time expires.

 

 

Requested mode off

You can communicate a desired operating mode (such as off, heat, and cool) to the con-

 

troller. If off is communicated to the controller, the unit controls the fan off. There is no

 

heating or cooling.

 

 

Entering water

The controller includes entering water temperature sampling logic, which is automati-

temperature

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

sampling logic

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

 

temperature” 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.
