VAV-SVP01A-EN 97

Troubleshooting

• Check the tubing for reversal and/or leaks.

• Check the flow ring for plugged holes. Blow out with compressed air if necessary.

3. Wrong unit size downloaded into the VAV VV550 Controller setup menu

• Verify that the actual unit size matches the unit's nameplate.

4. Poor inlet configuration

• Trane recommends 1½-duct diameters of straight duct before the inlet of the box (a 12-inch

box should have 18 inches of straight run duct before the inlet).

5. To determine whether or not the transducer has failed, perform the following steps:

• Check the 24 volts AC supply at TB1-1 24VAC input and TB1-2 on the VAV VV550 Controller

board. Voltage should be between 20 volts AC and 28 volts AC.

• Read the input voltage to the transducer from the VAV VV550 Controller between the green

and red wires on P1 of the VAV VV550 Controller board. The voltage should be between 4.50

volts DC and 5.50 volts DC (5 volts DC cataloged). If no voltage indicated, replace the VAV

VV550 Controller.

• Remove the high and low tubes from the transducer (to simulate no flow). Read the

transducer output voltage on P1 of the VAV VV550 Controller board between the green and

the black wires with a voltmeter. The voltage should be between 0.20 volts DC and 0.30 volts

DC (0.25 volts DC is the null voltage output of the transducer indicating zero flow). If voltage

not available replace transducer

Note: The formula for the Transducer output voltage is 0.25 + 0.75 * <delta P>, where delta P

is the pressure in inches of water column. Delta P can range from 0 to 5 inches of W.C.

• With flow going across the flow ring measure the differential pressure with a magnahelic

and use Transducer output voltage formula to check accuracy of reported value. Read the

transducer output voltage between the green and the black wires. The measured value

should correspond to the value given in the transducer output formula. If transducer is off

by ± 5%, replace transducer.
