Common Issues & Solutions
Flow sensor drift/inaccuracy
Symptoms:
Airflow measurement errors, poor temperature control, increased energy usage
Solution:
Verify sensor readings with external flow hood, check for blockages in sensor tubes, recalibrate sensor if adjustment is available, clean sensor assembly with compressed air, replace sensor if accuracy cannot be restored.
Damper linkage problems
Symptoms:
Incomplete closing/opening, sticking at certain positions, unusual noise during movement
Solution:
Inspect linkage for proper connection and adjustment, lubricate moving parts if applicable, check for physical obstructions, verify actuator mounting, adjust mechanical stops if necessary.
ECM motor communication failure
Symptoms:
Motor not responding to commands, running at fixed speed only, error codes
Solution:
Check control signals to motor, verify proper addressing, inspect for wiring damage or interference, test voltage to motor control circuit, replace motor controller if communication cannot be restored.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key features of Price VAV terminals?
Price VAV terminals feature heavy-gauge galvanized steel construction, patented floating shaft design for reduced damper friction, Ecm+ high accuracy airflow sensors, multiple control options including Price's own CMOS controllers, and industry-leading acoustical performance with published sound data.
How does Price's ECM motor technology enhance fan terminal performance?
Price's ECM motors deliver up to 70% energy savings compared to PSC motors, maintain constant airflow regardless of static pressure changes, operate more quietly, allow for field-adjustable airflow without pulley changes, provide BAS monitoring capabilities, and offer significantly longer service life.
What control options does Price offer for VAV terminals?
Price offers several control options including factory-mounted Price CMOS digital controllers with native BACnet communication, compatibility with major BAS manufacturers, wireless control options through the PRISM ZE platform, thermal dispersion airflow sensors for improved accuracy, and programmable sequences for advanced applications.
How do Price VAV terminals address acoustical concerns?
Price addresses acoustics through aerodynamic inlet designs that minimize turbulence, specially designed primary air valves, sound attenuating discharge configurations, casing reinforcement to prevent drumming, and comprehensive sound testing with published Discharge Sound Power and Radiated Sound Power data.
