The  BPE24  is  a  very  simple  control  to  troubleshoot, 
especially  with  the  LCD  Display.    The  only  other  device 
needed is a simple Volt/Ohm meter.   
 
Almost all problems can be traced to an external component 
or  wiring  to  the  BPE24.      While  the  BPE24  has  been 
designed to operate under extreme voltage conditions and is 
fuse  protected,  like  any  computer  the  micro-processor  can 
hang up and not operate properly.    
Turn off the power to the panel for several seconds until the 
LCD goes out, and then turn the power back on to see if the 
panel resets.  In many instances this resolves the problem.   
 
The  first  check  is  for  24VAC  Power  to  the  panel.    When 
there  is  power  the  LCD  will  be  lit.    If  not  check  the 
transformer and the power supply to it.   
 
Zone(s) Not Closing 
If a zone is not closing and there is an active HVAC call it 
may  be  that  there  is  an  excessive  amount  of  air  being 
bypassed  into  the zone. End all HVAC calls and using the 
damper test button on the Main Controller you can check to 
see if the dampers are properly cycling. 
 
Damper Motor Checkout Procedure 
 
To check out the dampers, the panel supplies 24VAC to the 
COM  and  OPEN  when  the  damper  is  to  be  open  and 
24VAC  to  COM  and  CLOSE  when  the  damper  is  to  be 
CLOSED.  When  any  zone  is  calling  and  its  Green  LED  is 
ON, there is 24VAC across COM and OPEN. The only time 

a  damper  will  close  is when anther zone is calling and its 
zone  is  not  calling.  In  this  instance  there  will  be  24VAC 
between COM and CLOSE.
