Daikin Microtech III [16/100] Troubleshooting pressure transducers
Pressure Sensors
The MicroTech III controller uses 0 to 5" W.C. static pressure
transducers for measuring duct static pressure. As the duct
static pressure varies from 0-5" W.C., the transducer output will
vary from 4-20mA.
If building static pressure control is provided, a -0.25" W.C. to
0.25" W.C. static pressure transducer is used. As the building
static pressure varies from -0.25" W.C. to 0.25" W.C., the
transducer output will vary from 4-20mA.
Troubleshooting Pressure Transducers
If the duct static pressure always reads 0" WC on the unit
keypad/display and the Supply fan speed is continuously
ramping to 100%, check the following:
If the unit has two duct static pressure sensors (SPS1 and
SPS2), verify that they both function properly per the following
procedure. Also check for faulty wiring connections at the
VFD analog inputs, ECM motor or at the unit controller.
The controller displays and controls to the lower of the two
readings. If a sensor is defective and inputs 0 volts to the VFD,
the static pressure reading on the keypad/display reads 0 and
the controller attempts to increase the 0 value to set point by
ramping the supply fan motor up. If a second sensor (SPS2) is
not installed or the pressure tubing to it is not connected, make
sure the 2nd DSP Sensor= parameter in the Unit Conguration
menu of the keypad/display is set to “No” so that the controller
ignores the second static pressure analog input. If a second
sensor (SPS2) is installed, make sure the 2nd DSP Sensor=
parameter in the Unit Conguration menu of the keypad/display
is set to “Yes”.
Check the 24 VDC power supply to the sensor, verify that
there is 24 VDC between the suspect transducer “+” terminal
and case ground. Using an accurate manometer or gauge,
measure the same pressure that the suspect transducer
is sensing. To do this, tap into the transducer high and low
pressure tubing or locate the measurement device taps next to
the transducer taps. Measure the output from the transducer,
if the measured output and pressure do not match, there may
be a wiring issue, a connection problem, or the transducer may
be defective. Some VFD’s use a 500ohm resistor to change
the transducer signal from 4-20mA to 2-10VDC, the transducer
signal at the VFD will then be 2-10VDC. The factory installed
500 ohm resistor (if applicable) is installed across “VIA” and
“CC” terminals of the VFD.
NOTE: 3-wire transducers may have the resistor wired
across the S and – terminals of the transducer. If
the measured output and pressure match, the VFD
parameters and/or Modbus communication between
the controller and the VFD will need to be veried.
Remove power from the controller. If available,
swap a similar good transducer with the suspect
transducer. Restore power and verify whether the
suspect transducer is defective.
NOTE: If the suspect sensor is measuring duct static
pressure, verify that the high and low pressure
taps are properly installed. An improper pressure
tap installation can cause severe uctuations in
the sensed pressure. Refer to the model-specic
installation manual for pressure tap installation
guidelines.
