Only qualified personnel should install and service the equipment. The installation, starting up, and servicing of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning
equipment can be hazardous and requires specific knowledge and training. Improperly installed, adjusted or altered equipment by an unqualified person
could result in death or serious injury. When working on the equipment, observe all precautions in the literature and on the tags, stickers, and labels that
are attached to the equipment.

(I/O). N N o o t t e e : : The Symbio 800 is factory mounted on a variety of equipment and supports different displays (TD7 or TD12). Installations have different facotry programming and slightly different Symbio UI screen views.
Between 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Input: If the max operating temperature is 60°F or less, the current draw for the Symbio 800 is 400mA at 24VDC, which includes up to 1000mA of Power: current supplied to the USB host ports.
The battery (BR2032 3 V) backs up the internal real-time clock over power fail. Under normal operating conditions, the battery life is 10 years. N N o o t t e e : : When replacing the battery or closing the battery tray, have the Symbio 800 controller powered up to maximize battery life.
Factory-mounted Symbio 800 controllers on air handlers do not use LLIDs. N N o o t t e e : : Field installation of the Symbio 800 is not supported. LEDs and the 7–Segment Display This section describes how to interpret the activity of the Symbio 800 LEDs and the 7–segment display.
Data transmission and reception Interpreting the 7–Segment Display The 7–segment display shows the operating status of the Symbio 800 as described in the following table. N N o o t t e e : : Many of the 7–segment codes Power Up or Normal Communication. Many of the codes are diagnostic in nature.

The Symbio 800 is primarily listed as a B-AAC listed device intended for equipment control applications only. The Symbio 800's internal BACnet code module meets B-BC compliance standards. However, the Symbio 800 controller is not certified as a B-BC controller. It is strongly advised not to use the Symbio 800 as a building controller.
24 VDC power supply input at the device, or any other chassis ground connection on the device. N N o o t t e e : : The device is not grounded through the DIN rail connection nor is the Symbio 800 grounded through the PM014 power supply (if used).
Powering the Symbio 800 from a XM70, or XM90 Expansion Module is not advised. If the max operating temp is 60°C or less, the current draw for the Symbio 800 is 400mA @24VDC, which includes up to 1000mA of current supplied to the 5 Volt USB Host ports. At max operating temperature of 70°C, the current on the USB Host ports is limited to 500mA.
X13790904030 (Factory Indoor Flush). Symbio 800 DC Power Budget Depending on the power source, Symbio 800 has a maximum current available for peripheral devices. It is a best practice to erform a power budget if you have more than three external devices connected through the IMC.

Using Tracer TU with Symbio 800 Tracer TU, a software tool that runs on a PC, is primarily used by technicians for advanced tasks. For Tracer TU availability, contact your local Trane sales office. Basic communication setup functions are performed in the Symbio UI.
Using the TD7 or TD12 Display The Symbio 800 controller can be used with either a TD7 or TD12 display (7" or 12"). For example, Intellipak units use the TD7 and chiller units generally use either the TD7 or TD12. On these units, the display comes standard from the factory with the equipment.
