low
•
System pumps are shut down
and not controlled by or
interlocked with the BMS II
•
Check header sensor connections and
installation.
•
Adjust PID settingsin TUNING MENU
(paragraph 3.10).
•
If aquastat is set lower than 200°F,
reset it to 220°F.
•
If system pumps are shut down, check
start and stop temperatures on energy
management system. They should
correspond to those set in the BMS II.
In addition, interlock wiring can be run
between the BMS II and energy
management system to disable the
BMS II pumps when pumps are not
running.
