Important Environmental Concerns
Scientific research has shown that certain man-made chemicals can affect the earth’s naturally occurring stratospheric ozone layer when released to the atmosphere. In particular, several of the identified chemicals that may affect the ozone layer are refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing these compounds have the same potential impact to the environment. Trane advocates the responsible handling of all refrigerants-including industry replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs and HFCs.
Important Responsible Refrigerant Practices
Trane believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to the environment, our customers, and the air conditioning industry. All technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified according to local rules. For the USA, the Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants and the equipment that is used in these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements
that must also be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. Know the applicable laws and follow them.
WARNING
Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required!
Failure to follow code could result in death or serious injury. All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE and ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/state electrical codes.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment Required!
Installing/servicing this unit could result in exposure to electrical, mechanical and chemical hazards. Before installing/servicing this unit, technicians MUST put on all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommended for the work being undertaken. ALWAYS refer to appropriate SDS sheets and OSHA guidelines for proper PPE. When working with or around hazardous chemicals, ALWAYS refer to the appropriate SDS sheets and OSHA guidelines for information on allowable personal exposure levels, proper respiratory protection and handling recommendations. If there is a risk of arc or flash, technicians MUST put on all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in
accordance with NFPA70E for arc/flash protection PRIOR to servicing the unit. Failure to follow recommendations could result in death or serious injury.

For instructions on BACnet MS\TP communication wiring, refer to the BACnet Best Practices and Troubleshooting Guide (BAS-SVX51-EN).
A/C Power Wiring
Prior to connecting AC power to the controller:

  • All wiring must comply with National Electrical Code™(NEC) and local codes.
  • The recommended wire for AC power is 16 AWG copper wire, minimum.
  • Refer to the next section for Transformer Recommendations.

WARNING
Hazardous voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing.
Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power cannot be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury..
CAUTION
Injury and equipment damage!
Make sure that the 24 Vac transformer is properly grounded. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to equipment.
CAUTION
Equipment damage!
Complete input/output wiring before applying power to the controller. Failure to do so may cause damage to the controller or power transformer due to inadvertent connections to power circuits. Do not share 24 Vac between controllers. Failure to do so may cause controller damage.
Transformer Recommendations
The Symbio 210 is powered with 24 Vac.

  • AC transformer requirements; U.L. listed, Class 2 power transformer, 24 Vac ±15%. The transformer must be sized to provide adequate power to the Symbio 210 controller and inputs/outputs. Refer to the Symbio 210 Programmable Controller Installation, Operation, and Maintenance manual BAS-SVX084-EN for details on sizing.
  • CE-compliant installations; the transformer must be CE marked and SELV compliant per IEC Standards.

NOTICE
Avoid Equipment Damage!
Sharing 24 Vac power between controllers could cause equipment damage. A separate transformer is recommended for each Symbio 210. The line input to the transformer must be equipped with a circuit breaker sized to handle the maximum transformer line current. If a single transformer is shared by multiple Symbio 210 units, then:

  • The transformer must have sufficient capacity.
  • Polarity must be maintained for every Symbio 210 powered by the transformer.

Important: If a technician inadvertently reverses polarity between controllers powered by the same transformer, a difference of 24 Vac will occur between the grounds of each controller.
The following symptoms could result:

  • Partial or full loss of communication on the entire communication link.
  • Improper function of Symbio 210 outputs.
  • Damage to the transformer or a blown transformer fuse.
