Troubleshooting - Honeywell MiniZone EMM-3U Product Data

TROUBLESHOOTING

The primary diagnostic tools are the System and Zone damper status LEDs and BOOT and PURGE OVERRIDE buttons. See
Fig. 20 and 21 for troubleshooting flowcharts.

The

tripped because of a high amp
draw. Remove the R wire on
the transformer contacts from the board
the thermostat and damper wires off from
each zone before you re-attach the
transformer R wire. Is there
voltage at R-C on all
of the zones?
Yes
Re-attach each zone thermostat wire. Attach
each zone separately, checking after each
zone is attached if the thermal fuse
has tripped by checking voltage across R
and C on that zone. After attaching the
thermostat wires, attach each zone motor
wires, again checking the thermal fuse to
see if it trips. This step-by-step process
should help you identify what is tripping the

Are you using O or B on the thermostat? If you are
using O on the thermostat, you need to place the
shunt jumper across the two pins. If you are using B,
you need to place that jumper on just one of the
pins or completely off. If you are using O then you will
have 24 vac at O/B-C. If you are using B on the
thermostat, you will not have 24 vac at O/B-C.
It could be a bad wire. If you have voltage
on the panel at R-Y1 (and R-O/B if there is a
wire on O/B) but not at the thermostat, it is a bad
wire. Check for voltage at R-W or W1, G on the
thermostat. If there is voltage there then it
is a bad Y or Y1 (or O/B if you are using O/B) wire.
No
If no voltage at R-any other terminal on the
thermostat then it is a bad R wire.
