Multi-Trans Smart Ecosystem Quick Start Guide
Paragon Controls Incorporated 3 Revision Level 000
STARTUP
Upon power up, the Main Screen will show how the
MTSE was configured for the application. If one
system was ordered, only System 1 will be visible on
the Main Screen, and if two systems were ordered
then System 1 and System 2 will show on the screen,
etc. If ΔP points of measurement were ordered, they
will appear at the bottom half of the screen as shown
to the right in a fully loaded MTSE with 3 systems and
4 ΔP points of measurement.
MENU CHANGES
If any values need to be changed, the user can
navigate through the Setup Menu to the appropriate
screen to make changes by pressing the Setup button
on the bottom of the Main Screen. On occasion, system effects will require the MTSE airflow measurement to
be corrected with a K-factor to match a balancer or reference airflow rate. See the flow chart of the Setup
Menus on page 4 for easy navigation through the Setup Menu or the MTSE Installation, Operation &
Maintenance Manual for more information.
PROPER INSTALLATION CHECK PROCEDURE
Upon power up, a form of the Main Screen as discussed in the Startup Section above will appear. A check for
proper installation can be made by navigating to the Sensor Data page from the Main Screen by pressing
DIAGNOSTICS » SENSOR DATA to confirm individual sensor flow and pressure and then checking the
following:
1) A negative pressure reading indicates reversed tubing to a sensor (other than a very small negative
pressure value from possible zero drift); swap the low and high signal tubing for that sensor number.
2) S_Err in the Pressure column indicates a “sensor acknowledge error” from an unresponsive sensor.
Cycle power and contact the Factory if this is not resolved.
3) If flow and pressure are being displayed on Sensor Data page but there is no system flow displayed on
Main Screen, the MTSE is in lockdown for that system; reduce the lockdown percent (SETUP MENU »
7.ALARMS).
4) If a single fan in a system array is reading near zero or very different from other fans in the same system,
this could indicate either fan failure,
closed fan backdraft damper, or a problem with the pneumatics (e.g.,
kinked or blocked signal tubing, etc.), please check for these issues.
The MTSE is user friendly with many help screens
available in the menus. The “?” button available at the
bottom right corner on most pages will provide an
explanation of the parameter configurations and
available options for each menu selection. The “?”
button on the Main Screen shows Factory contact
information and firmware revision levels; pressing the
right arrow will bring up a series of troubleshooting
steps the user should perform before contacting the
Factory. Continue pressing the right arrow for
additional troubleshooting steps, such as, no flow or
incorrect flow readings, analog output, and
communication issues. Consult Factory for additional
information, technical questions, or repair. Do not
disassemble or repair unit unless directed by Factory.
