Frequently Asked Questions - ESP Plus SRA190C ActronAir

Why can't I adjust my zone temperature more than 2°C above or below the master setpoint?

The 2°C offset is a factory default to optimize temperature control and energy efficiency. To change it, contact ActronAir technical support at 1800 119 229.

Why does cooling/heating take long in ESP fan mode?

ESP fan mode is best for minimal zones. For quicker conditioning with multiple zones, select HIGH or CONT HIGH fan speed on the Master Controller.

Why is cooling/heating insufficient in my zone?

This may be due to improper air balancing. Contact your installer to ensure duct design and air balancing are correct for your ESP Ultima system.

What does the damper blade indicator show?

The indicator shows the damper position: fully open (maximum airflow), partially closed (regulating airflow), or no indicator (zone satisfied or off). In ESP Auto mode, it adjusts automatically.

What does 'OFF' on the zone controller mean?

This indicates the Master Controller is turned off. First turn on the air conditioner at the Master Controller (LM7-D or LM24W), then you can turn on the zone.

How do I check the room temperature on the zone controller?

Press the ROOM temperature button. The actual room temperature displays for a few seconds, then reverts to setpoint. For 45-minute display, press and hold for 5 seconds.

What does 'E2' or 'E3' on the display mean?

E2: Note the digits after E and contact your installer. E3: System detected less than 2 sensors or a short circuit in remote sensor. Contact your installer.

Can I use the system without zone temperature control?

Yes, use Zone Open mode (P_n on display). The damper stays fully open and temperature is controlled only by the master system. Zone sensor is ignored in this mode.

How do I turn off a specific zone?

Press the MODE ON/OFF button on the zone controller, or use the designated zone button on the Master Controller. The zone LED will turn off.

What is Fan Only mode?

Fan Only mode circulates air without heating or cooling. Set via the Master Controller by pressing FAN button and selecting speed. Ideal for mild days or fresh air circulation.

Master Wall Controller

Zone Controller

1 Press the MODE ON/OFF button twice in quick succession until P_n appears on the display.

P_n indicates that the Zone Damper blade is in maximum open position.

Turning Off Zone

2 Press the MODE ON/OFF button to turn off the zone. Alternatively, press the designated zone button in the master wall controller.

Notes

It is not possible to control or adjust the temperature in this mode.

• This zone temperature will now depend on the systems operating mode (HEAT or COOL).
  This mode has no control on room temperature, your sensor is ignored in this mode.
  A zone in OPn mode is like having a non-temperature controlled ON/OFF zone damper.
  Zone 1 cannot be put in OPn mode.

Q. I cannot adjust my set point on my Zone Controller any more than 2^ higher or lower than the Master Controller.

A. 2^ is the default setting for master temperature offset. ActronAir recommend this 2^ offset to optimise temperature control and maximize energy efficiency. Moving this setting +/- 2^ will result in temperature inaccuracy. Contact ActronAir technical support: Tel. No. 1800 119 229.

Q. Cooling and Heating seems to take a long time to achieve temperature in ESP fan mode. Am I using the correct settings?

A. ESP fan mode really comes into it's own when minimal zones are used. For quicker and more responsive Cooling and Heating, when using more than minimal zones, select HIGH or CONT HIGH fan speed on Master Controller. This will boost heating and cooling and is best optimized when you want to condition more than the minimal zone set up.

Q. Cooling and Heating is not sufficient in my zone.

A. Air balancing is essential part of system commissioning in ESP Ultima system. The duct design may be prohibiting the correct amount of airflow reaching your area. Please contact your installer to ensure air balancing has been carried out.

Q. There is substantial air noise coming from my outlet.

A. If the outlet gets too noisy when the unit or zone is first turned on, the system maybe over supplying airflow to your area. Ensure ESP fan mode is selected when minimal zones are used.

Q. There are dashes across my control display.

A. Make sure you have not had a power interruption. If this is still present on the display after 20 seconds, please contact your installer. Incorrect wiring or a broken circuit could also cause these symptoms.

FAULT CODES:

When E2 is displayed in the Master Controller or Zone Controller, take note of the digits after E and contact your installer.

E3 - System has detected less than 2 sensors (Ultima requires at least 2 sensors in circuit) or, a remote sensor is short circuit.

E5 - No Communication. The system is constantly relaying information back and forth. This indicates the communication is not happening. Contact your installer to check your wiring and cable's integrity.
