Emergency Stop Wiring

This section describes the wiring for emergency stop functions from external stop devices to the Symbio 700.
Cable | Stop Device Board | Stop Device Terminal | Condenser Board | Condenser Terminal | Description |

The diagram illustrates connections for normally closed safety devices like condensate overflow switches or pan switches. The wiring reflects these normally closed safeties. If normally open devices are used, they can be wired in parallel, and the Customer Connection Polarity setting does not need to be changed.
Important Note: Requires changing the polarity on UC J18-2 to NORMALLY CLOSED. This setting is found in the Symbio App under: TOOLS > SERVICE > CUSTOMER CONNECTION POLARITY > SWITCH "EQUIPMENT SHUTDOWN INPUT" TO REVERSED.

Configuring Symbio 700
Odyssey condensers can be paired with various Odyssey AHUs, third-party AHUs, and indoor coil assemblies. The Symbio 700 must be configured for the connected AHU, installed accessories, and controlling sensor/thermostat.
For Variable Volume Zone Temperature (VVZT or SZVAV) Operation (requires zone sensor):
- System Type: VVZT (requires zone sensor for actual VVZT operation; tstat will operate as CVZT)
- Efficiency: Standard B
- Indoor Fan Type: Variable Speed (should set automatically)
- Space Controller: Single Setpoint Zone sensor, or Dual Setpoint Zone Sensor
- Frostat: Installed (should install automatically)
- Discharge Temperature Sensor: Installed (should install automatically)
Field installed electric heat only
TTA condenser
- Primary Heating Source: Electric
- Primary Heating Stages: 1 or 2 (depending on electric heat kit stages)
TWA condenser
- Secondary Heating Source: Electric
- Secondary Heating Stages: 1 or 2 (depending on electric heat kit stages)
For Multispeed fan operation:
- System Type: CVZT (thermostat or zone sensor)
- Efficiency: Standard B
- Indoor Fan Type: Multi Speed
- Space Controller: Conventional Thermostat, Single Setpoint Zone sensor, or Dual Setpoint Zone Sensor
- Frostat: Installed
- Discharge Temperature Sensor: Installed (with zone sensor will use DAT logic for compressor staging) or Not Installed
Field installed electric heat only
TTA condenser
- Primary Heating Source: Electric
- Primary Heating Stages: 1 or 2 (depending on electric heat kit stages)
TWA condenser
- Secondary Heating Source: Electric
- Secondary Heating Stages: 1 or 2 (depending on electric heat kit stages)
Once changes are complete, apply them by selecting the check mark (APPLY on Apple devices) at the top of the screen. If the check mark is grey, look for options with '---' and fill them in.
After changes are saved, the condenser will automatically start looking for the VFD and Indoor Options Module (big board in AHU). The supply fan will engage with a call for fan.
