Introduction
The Variable Air Volume (VAV) Controller is an electronic device for
digital control of single duct, dual duct, fan powered, and supply/exhaust
VAV box configurations. See Figure 1. You may use the VAV as a
standalone controller or connected to the Metasys network through a
Network Control Module (NCM) or Companion system.
When connected to the Metasys Network, the VAV provides all point and
control information to the rest of the network. The devices communicate
through an N2 Bus.
Each VAV Controller application uses a different sequence of operation,
all of which are covered in the HVAC PRO for Windows User’s Manual
(FAN 637.5).

8 VAV Controller—Variable Air Volume (VAV) Controller
When providing VAVs for projects which use Trane or TITUS
terminal boxes, consider using the AS-VAVDPTx-1 product (refer to
Building VAVDPT Applications Application Note (LIT-6363042) in the
Application Specific Controllers Technical Manual (FAN 636.3). Trane
and TITUS are both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) who
provide VAV terminal boxes for projects. Trane typically provides the
damper actuator with their terminal box, and TITUS provides the damper
actuator with their QFPC Series Fan Powered Box. The VAVDPT comes
in two models, which include a VAV Controller and a DPT-2015 Velocity
Pressure Transducer. The DPT is mounted and prewired to the cover of
the VAV. Refer to the OEM Reference Manual (FAN 638).
The VAV Controller complies with the following standards:
FCC Part 15, Subpart J, Class A
IEEE 472, IEEE 518
IEEE 587 Category A
UL 916, UL 864
VDE 0871 Class B
A factory mounted VAV box control system requires close coordination
between a variety of different disciplines. Refer to the OEM Reference
Manual (FAN 638) for factory manufacturer’s details. Although the
responsibilities may differ per city or region, the following parties are
usually involved on the job:
controls contractor
mechanical contractor
local VAV box manufacturer’s representative
balancing contractor
electrical contractor
Typically, the mechanical contractor is the focal point for coordinating the
entire process. The basic responsibilities under the domain of the
mechanical contractor are:
1. Purchasing the VAV box system. Most specifications include the
OEM mounting fees and enclosures for the control system in the
mechanical contractor’s price. Mounting fees vary per box
manufacturer but ranges can be found in the OEM Reference Manual
(FAN 638).
2. Providing the release schedule for the VAV boxes to the job.
3. Contracting, or working closely with, the balancing contractor to
ensure the system is set up per the mechanical prints.
Note: The owner often directly hires the balancing contractor. This
ensures neutrality in dealing with other contractors involved in the
project.

In conjunction with the mechanical contractor, the controls contractor’s
responsibilities include:
1. Coordination of the control system release schedule to the box
manufacturer to ensure the mechanical system delivery schedule can be
met. Coordination with the local box manufacturer representative is
normally required.
2. Coordination with the electrical contractor to ensure the following
steps are covered.
24 VAC power is provided at each VAV Controller.
N2 Bus wiring is pulled and terminated.
Valve actuator wiring is pulled and terminated.
Zone sensor cables are pulled. The use of phone cable for
terminating zone sensor wiring allows basically anyone to
terminate zone sensors in certain locales.
If desired, the N2 address switches can be set by the electrical
contractor.
3. Initial loading of the HVAC PRO for Windows configuration files is
done once the electrical contractor’s functions are completed in
preparation for the final system balancing.
4. Training of the balancing contractor to ensure the balancing contractor
knows how to use the Zone Terminal (ZT) or HVAC PRO for
Windows Commissioning mode so they can perform the final system
balancing.
5. Mounting and terminating the cable connections for the zone
temperature sensor. Set the N2 address switch if the electrical
contractor was not contracted to perform this function.
6. Configuring, downloading, and commissioning the controller.

Configuring the Controller
Use HVAC PRO for Windows to configure the VAV. VAV110/111 and
VAV140/141 models require HVAC PRO for Windows. HVAC PRO for
Windows also works with the VAV100/101 models. This easy-to-use
software tool configures, commissions, and downloads the VAV
Controller’s data base.
Figure 2 illustrates the HVAC PRO for Windows configuration process.
Refer to the HVAC PRO for Windows User’s Manual (FAN 637.5) for

Installation Procedures
Instructions for the installation of the VAV Controller and its accessory
devices are detailed in this section. The types and numbers of components
(sensors and actuators) selected for use with the VAV vary according to
application. Analyze the proposed installation for logical places to locate
these devices and draw up an inventory based on that study. Information
on types of accessory devices available is in the Ordering Information
section of this technical bulletin.
Most VAV installation should be coordinated with the VAV box
manufacturer for factory mounting. The OEM Reference Manual
(FAN 638) describes the steps and pricing to coordinate a factory mount
solution.
Tools needed for a typical installation include:
HVAC PRO for Windows currently released software
IBM PC-compatible laptop computer
Windows 3.x or Windows 95
two screwdrivers (1/8 in. and 1/4 in. flat-blade)
AS-CBLPRO-2 (Zone Bus communication tool)
MM-CVT101-0 (N2 Bus communication tool)
AS-ZTU100-1 (Zone Bus interface to application specific controllers)
The installation site of the VAV Controller must meet the following
environmental standards.
The atmosphere must be free of explosive vapors or escaping gases.
The atmosphere must be free of exposure to corrosive chemical or salt
vapors, which might damage electrical equipment.
The temperature must be maintained between 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C)
with the relative humidity (non-condensing) maintained between 10 and
90%.
The power line must be “clean,” without electrical noise transients that
are often present in industrial environments. Commercial and residential
buildings typically have clean power, but may not, depending on the
location, nearby equipment, etc. Follow the power line wiring transient
noise precautions.

Environmental
Information
18 VAV Controller—Variable Air Volume Controller
Typically the most cost effective and highest quality installation of the
VAV Controller, EDA-2040 Damper Operator, and DPT-2015 Velocity
Pressure Transducer can be accomplished by the box manufacturer. The
OEM Reference Manual (FAN 638) describes the relationship, pricing, and
process to accomplish factory mounting of the VAV control system at most
of the key box manufacturers.
If the job cannot be factory mounted, check with the VAV box
manufacturer to determine if a control enclosure for the VAV Controller
and Actuator/Velocity Pressure Transducer combination is already
available on the VAV box. If there is not an available enclosure, the
common packaging for the VAV Controller is an enclosure provided by the
contractor or the Johnson Controls EN-EWC10, EN-EWC15, BZ1000, or
AS-ENC enclosure. The controller requires a flat mounting surface area to
match its dimensions:
6.5 x 6.4 x 2.2 in./165 x 163 x 56 mm (H x W x D) without enclosure
6.8 x 7.3 x 4.7 in./173 x 185 x 119 mm (H x W x D) with the
AS-ENC100-0 enclosure
7 x 13 x 6 in./180 x 330 x 150 mm (H x W x D) with the
EN-EWC10-0 and EN-EWC15-0 enclosure
Make sure you allow enough room to install the enclosure and conduit for
wiring terminations to the controller. Figure 7 shows a common packaging
configuration for the VAV Controller.

The VAV can be directly mounted into an EWC10/15 enclosure. You may
also purchase the VAV premounted in a EWC10 enclosure with a
50 VA transformer. Refer to the Application Specific Controllers
Technical Manual (FAN 636.3) for instructions on mounting the enclosure
to a wall.
To mount the VAV in the EWC10:
1. Orient the VAV so that its terminals face the low voltage wiring trough
(Figure 6).
2. Align the three mounting holes in the base of the controller with the
holes in the back of the enclosure. On the side with four mounting
holes, use the two outside holes for mounting in the EWC. See the
Universal Packaging Module Technical Bulletin (FAN 636.3) for a
more detailed explanation.
3. Secure the controller with three No. 8 x 1 in. screws. For best results,
use a plastite-type thread. A thread-forming or sheet metal thread type
may also be used.
Position the controller (or controller’s enclosure) on the mounting surface
before installation to ensure the calculated mounting area is correct. You
can make precise measurements for distance between controller terminals
and sensor/actuator mounting points on the VAV terminal. Confirm
electrical power source and conduit requirements prior to mounting.

Figure 7: Installing the VAV Controller in an Enclosure Kit
Mount the VAV in any convenient location using the predrilled mounting
holes. The controller must be mounted on a wall or panel where it can be
easily wired through the enclosure cover. Mount the VAV vertically for
best DPT (differential pressure transmitter) performance. The same
instruction applies to remote location packages. Refer to Figure 7 when
installing a VAV Controller.
1. Secure the VAV inside the enclosure kit , using three screws through
the mounting tabs on the sides of the controller board base.
2. Position the VAV and enclosure so that it rests firmly against the
mounting surface.
3. Using a flat-blade screwdriver and pliers, remove the necessary wire
passage knockouts .
Note: Do not use knockouts on the opposite sides of enclosure, as you will
not be able to remove the VAV board.
4. Attach the enclosure cover after installing wiring.
