Wired Zone 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 Symbio 210 controller reports an incorrect zone temperature, check the
following:

– Connect the shield portion of the wire at the first unit controller in the link.
– Tape back the shield at the end of the unit controller line.
– Wire together and tape all other shields at each unit controller.
Check application version and build or download the latest application version using the Tracer
TU service tool.
Note: For instructions on how to use Tracer TU, refer to the Tracer TU online Help and the
Tracer TU Service Tool User Guide (TBAS-SVU047).
If communication loss persists, we recommend connecting to the link with Serial Spy MS/TP
analyzer to review the token passing. For detailed instructions about use, analysis and Comm
link voltage tests, refer to the BACnet MS-TP Wiring and Link Performance Best Practices and
Troubleshooting Guide (BAS-SVX51).
Verify that the actual room temperature is higher or lower than what the Symbio 210 controller
reads.
Check the location and installation of the zone sensor for heat sources or drafts. If necessary,
a calibration offset can be added with Tracer TU, in the Space Temperature Local configuration
screen.
Note: If the zone sensor is OFF more than ± 2 degrees, proceed to the next bullet item.
Verify that the zone sensor is wired correctly. Refer to the section,
Verify that the zone sensor is working properly.
– Disconnect the zone sensor terminal plug from the Symbio 210 controller and using an
ohmmeter, measure the resistance across the terminals 1 and 2. Compare the resistance to
the temperature (refer to
near those measured with an accurate temperature measuring device. If not, replace the
zone sensor.
Verify that neither the wiring or the Symbio 210 controller are defective. With wires still
connected to the Symbio 210 controller, disconnect zone sensor wires that were connected to
terminals 1 and 2 of zone sensor. Measure for 2.6–3.3 Vdc and if it is not present, then verify
whether the Symbio 210 controller is outputting 2.6–3.0 Vdc.
To do this, disconnect the wires on the Symbio 210 controller from terminals AI1 and
measure the Vdc– it should be 2.6–3.0 Vdc. If 2.6–3.0 Vdc is present at the Symbio 210 controller,
the wires going to the zone are OPEN. If the correct voltage is not present, check the incoming
power to the Symbio 210 controller on XFMR 24 Vac input and
