Initial Troubleshooting - Trane Tracer MP581 Hardware Installation

Chapter 15 Troubleshooting
Table 19. Initial troubleshooting steps
Step number
Step 1 Look at the red Service LED. If it is flashing once per second, the controller is
not executing the application software because the network connections and
addressing have been removed. For a complete explanation of the behavior
of this LED, see "Interpreting LEDs" on page 82.
Use the Rover service tool to restore normal operation. See the Rover Opera-
tion and Programming guide, EMTX-SVX01D-EN, for more information.
Step 2 Look at the green Status LED. It should be on continuously during normal
operation. A blinking Status LED indicates abnormal behavior for the Tracer
MP581. For a complete explanation of the behavior of this LED, see "Inter-
preting LEDs" on page 82.
Step 3 Set the multi-meter to measure ac voltage. Measure the voltage across the 24
Vac power terminals on the Tracer MP581 termination board (with ac power
connected). The location of the 24 Vac power terminals is shown in Figure 11
on page 20. If you see approximately 24 V (20–30 V) on those terminals, the
board is receiving adequate input power.
Step 4 Disconnect the ac wires from the input power terminals. Set the multi-meter
to measure ac voltage. Measure the voltage across the ac wires. If you see
approximately 0 V, the board is not receiving the power it needs to run.
