Filter Status
Filter status may be configured on any unused binary input
channel. A typical application is a differential pressure
switch that senses the pressure drop across a filter bank.
When the pressure across the filter bank exceeds the setpoint
of the differential pressure switch, the Filter status is
displayed as Dirty on the controller graphic. An alarm
indicates a dirty filter.
Door Switch
A Door Contact may be configured on any unused binary
input. A typical application is an occupancy sensor
mounted within the space served by a single zone rooftop.
Door Contact disables mechanical cooling and electric or
gas heating, when active. Economizer cooling, if
available, continues to operate. A configurable Door
Alarm Delay is provided to prevent immediate action. The
default is set to 60 seconds.
Remote Occupancy
Remote occupancy may be configured on any unused
binary input channel. A typical application is a remote
contact, controlled by a third party, or an occupancy
sensor to set the controller’s occupied mode. The Remote
Occupancy function requires both an input configured for
Remote Occupancy, and Occupancy Source set to Remote
Occ Input to operate. Once configured, the controller will
operate in the occupied or unoccupied mode, as
determined by the state of the Remote Occupancy input.
TROUBLESHOOTING
General
The RTU Open controller acts as an intelligent imbedded
thermostat to the rooftop unit, but can be monitored and
controlled from a 3rd party network. This causes the
system as a whole to be troubleshot from three points of
view. The three parts to the system are the rooftop unit,
the Open controller, and the network connected.
Determining which part needs to be troubleshot is the first
step.
The Open controller can be used to troubleshoot the rooftop
unit and/or itself with service test, communicating LED’s,
and built in alarms. Disconnecting the RTU Open from the
network may also help troubleshooting the controller and
rooftop unit. Third Party Network troubleshooting may also
be required. For base unit troubleshooting, refer to specific
base unit Service Maintenance manual.
There is an on--board battery that is used for RAM and
clock back--up (see Fig. 1). It is a 3--volt lithium battery
(CR2032). The average life is 7 years with a minimum of
10,000 hours of back--up. When the RTU Open board is
powered up, the battery is not being used. If power is lost,
the battery backs up the time clock.
Replacing the RTU Open’s Battery
To determine when to replace the battery, remove and
measure the voltage. If the voltage is below 2.9 volts,
replace the battery.
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Power must be ON to the RTU Open when replacing
the battery or date, time, and trend data will be lost.
CAUTION
!
1. Remove the battery from the controller, making
note of the battery’s polarity.
2. Insert the new battery, matching the battery’s polarity
with the polarity indicated on the RTU Open .
Thermistor Troubleshooting
RTU Open uses thermistors to sense temperatures for
control operation of the unit. Resistances at various
temperatures are listed in Table 2. Thermistor pin
connections are shown in Table 1. Thermistors are used
for supply air temperature (SAT), outdoor air temperature
(OAT), and space temperature (SPT) and all must be a 10
kilo-ohm type II sensor.
To check accuracy, use a high quality digital
volt-ohmmeter. Connect the meter to the thermistor leads
to obtain a resistance value. Use Table 2 to convert that
resistance to a temperature. Next step is to measure
temperature at probe location with an accurate
thermocouple-type temperature-measuring instrument.
Temperature measured by thermocouple and temperature
determined from thermistor voltage reading should be
close, within 5_F if care was taken in applying
thermocouple and taking readings. If a sensor must be
corrected, use the RTU Open’s calibration function to
offset the temperature reading.
