Environment
SE7000 Room Controller
Cause
Possible cause is physical layer and device addresses.
Resolution
Verify the physical layer (i.e. wire, end of line resistors and bias resisters) is installed as recommended. A common wiring error is landing the trunk cable shield to the "REF" terminal at the thermostat. The shield should be carried through but not landed at the thermostat and the trunk shield should be grounded in one place.
Duplicate device addresses can cause this type of issue as well. Verify each controller has a unique "Com addr" which is part of its instance number. This can be viewed and modified from the display panel of the thermostat.
