4.3 ANALOG OUTPUT SIGNALS

Airflow:

  Available on connector J1, terminals AO1+ and AO1- or AO2+ and AO2-. The full scale output is equal to 

Max flow as inputted into the Vari-Green transmitter on the Flow Configuration submenu.

Temperature:

 Available on connector J1, terminals AO1+ and AO1- or AO2+ and AO2-. The temperature analog 

output has a fixed scale of -20º F to 140º F.

SECTION 5.0: Maintenance / Inspections / 
Troubleshooting

5.1 MAINTENANCE / INSPECTIONS

The Vari-Green

 system h

as been designed to operate in most HVAC applications without the need 

for periodic maintenance or calibration. In some applications, it may be necessary to perform a visual 
inspection of the probe and sensors, and if necessary clean them using a soft, small brush and/or 
compressed air to remove any accumulated particulate or debris. 

5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING

The Vari-Green

 system is i

ntended to provide long-term, trouble-free operation. In the event there is an 

issue with the Vari-Green measurement system, or the BMS or the controller ceases to receive valid 
airflow and/or temperature signals, make certain the following have been checked and confirmed:
•  The power wiring is securely connected to the proper terminals and is providing the intended 24V AC/

DC power.

• The signal wiring is securely connected to the proper terminals.
•  The probe-to-probe and probe-to-transmitter cables and connections are properly connected and 

secure.

• Power cycles the transmitter.
If after following the above troubleshooting steps, the Vari-Green system continues to operate improperly, 
contact Greenheck for technical assistance.
