Alarms

Alarms can be checked through the network and/or the

local access. All the alarms are listed in Table 17 with

name, object name, action taken by control, reset method,

and probable cause. There are help screens for each alarm

on the local access display and listed in Form

48--50H--T--2T, Appendix A: Help Screens. Some alarms

are explained in detail below.
Safety Chain Alarm
This alarm occurs immediately if the supply--fan internal

overload trips or if an electric--heat limit switch trips. The

Unit Status will be Shutdown and the System Mode will

be Disable. When this happens CTB (R terminal) will not

have 24 VAC, but the RTU--MP board will still be

powered. All unit operations stop immediately and will

not restart until the alarm automatically clears. There are

no configurations for this alarm; it is all based on internal

wiring. This alarm will never occur if Fire Shutdown

Alarm is active.
Fire Shutdown Alarm
This alarm occurs immediately when the smoke detector

senses smoke. The Unit Status will be Shutdown and the

System Mode will be Disable. All unit operations stop

immediately and will not restart until the alarm

automatically clears. If there is not a smoke detector

installed or the smoke detector did not trip, check input

configurations.
Space Temp Sensor Failure
This alarm occurs if the space sensor wired to the

RTU--MP is disconnected or shorted for more then 10

seconds. When this occurs the Unit Status will be

Shutdown and the System Mode will be Run. Sensor,

sensor connections, wiring, board connection, and

configurations should be checked for faults or errors.

Alarm will reset automatically when cause is fixed.
SAT Sensor Alarm
This alarm occurs immediately when the supply air

temperature sensor wired to the RTU--MP is disconnected

or shorted. When this occurs the Unit Status will be

Shutdown and the System Mode will be Run. Sensor,

sensor connections, wiring, board connection, and

configurations should be checked for faults or errors.

Alarm will reset automatically when cause is fixed.
Switch Configuration Alarm
This occurs if more than one binary input (inputs 3, 5, 8,

and 9) is configured for the same function. When this

happens the two inputs (or more) configured wrong will

be disabled as an inputs. This alarm will automatically be

cleared when configuration is corrected.
An example of this would be: Input 3 = Compressor

Safety, input 5 = Fan Status, input 8 = Fan Status, and

input 9 = Humidistat; the alarm would be active, unit

would run, compressor safety and humidistat would

function normally, and Fan Status (inputs 5 & 8) will be

interpreted as “No Function.”

Misconfigured Analog Input
This occurs if more than one analog input (inputs 1 & 2)

is configured for the same sensor. When this happens the

two inputs will be disabled as inputs. This alarm will

automatically be cleared when configuration is corrected.
An example of this would be: Input 1 = IAQ Sensor, input

2 = IAQ Sensor; the alarm would be active, unit would

run, but the IAQ Sensor (inputs 1 & 2) will be interpreted

as “No Function.”
Third Party Networking
Third

party

communication

and

networking

troubleshooting should be done by or with assistance from

the front end 3rd party technician. A Module Status

Report (Modstat) (see Fig. 65) can be run from the

BACview

6

, see Table 18 to perform. This lists information

about the board status and networking state. For basic

troubleshooting, see Table 19. Refer to the RTU--MP 3rd

Party Integration Guide for additional information.

BACnet MS/TP

1. Verify that the BAS and controller are both set to

speak the BACnet MS/TP protocol. The protocol of

the controller is set via SW3 (switches 3, 4, 5, and 6).

The protocol can also be verified by getting a Modstat

of the controller through the BACview. Hit the “FN”

key and the “.” key at the same time to pull up a

Modstat. Scroll to the bottom of the page and there is

a section entitled “Network Communications.” The

active protocol and baud rate will be shown in this

section.

2. Verify that the BAS and controller are set for the

same baud rate. The baud rate of the controller is set

via SW3 (switches 1 and 2). The baud rate can also

be verified via the BACview by obtaining a Modstat.

(See Fig. 65.)

3. Verify that the BAS is configured to speak 2--wire

EIA--485 to the controller. The BAS may have to

configure jumper or DIP switches on their end.

4. Verify that the BAS and the controller have the same

communication settings (8 data bits, No Parity, and 1

stop bit).

5. Verify that the controller has a unique MAC address

on the MS/TP bus. The controller’s MS/TP MAC

address is set by its rotary address switches.

6. Verify proper wiring between the BAS and the

controller.

7. Verify that the BAS is reading or writing to the proper

BACnet objects in the controller. Download the latest

points list for the controller to verify.

8. Verify that the BAS is sending his requests to the

proper MS/TP MAC address of our controller.

9. Present the BAS company with a copy of our

controller’s BACnet PICS so that they know which

BACnet commands are supported. See below.

10. In certain situations, it may be necessary to tweak the

MS/TP Protocol timing settings through the

BACview

6

. There are two settings that may be

tweaked:
