Supply/Discharge Air Temperature Sensor Failure - Trane Tracer UC210 Installation, Operation, And Programming

Supply/Discharge Air Temperature Sensor Failure

Hazardous Service Procedures!
The maintenance and troubleshooting procedures recommended in this section of the manual
could result in exposure to electrical, mechanical or other potential safety hazards. Always
refer to the safety warnings provided throughout this manual concerning these procedures.
When possible, disconnect all electrical power including remote disconnect and discharge all
energy storing devices such as capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout
procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. When necessary to work
with live electrical components, have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual who
has been trained in handling live electrical components perform these tasks. Failure to follow
all of the recommended safety warnings provided, could result in death or serious injury.
In the event that the UC210 controller reports an incorrect or failed discharge or supply air
temperature, check the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
BAS-SVX62E-EN
Ensure the UC210 controller has been configured for the input and the point has not been
placed out of service.
Discharge or supply air temperature is higher or lower than what the UC210 controller reads.
Check the location and installation of the sensor. Change the calibration factor in the UC210
controller setup screens.
Note: If sensor is off more than ± 2 degrees continue to the next bullet.
Check sensor wiring for the correct connections.
Defective sensor.
– Disconnect the sensor terminal plug from the UC210 controller and using an ohmmeter,
measure the resistance across the sensor wires. Compare the resistance to temperature
(refer to Table 14, p. 53). The resistance measured should correspond to a temperature
within ± 2 degrees near those measured with an accurate temperature measuring device.
If the measured resistance does not correspond, replace the sensor.
Defective wiring or defective UC210 controller.
– Verify that the UC210 controller is outputting 2.6–3.0 Vdc. This can be performed by
disconnecting the wires on the UC210 controller on terminals AI3 and
temperature sensor and measuring the Vdc. It should be 5 Vdc. If there is 2.6–3.0 Vdc at the
UC210 controller, the wires going to the zone are OPEN. If 5 Vdc is not present, check the
incoming power to the UC210 controller on XFMR 24 Vac input and
24 Vac ± 15%. If the proper voltage is measured at XFMR 24 Vac input
voltage at AI4 and
temperature sensor, replace the UC210 controller.
