Application
The VMA1930 equipment controllers are designed
for Variable Air Volume (VAV) applications that
communicate over BACnet
Variable Air Volume Modular Assembly (VMA)
controllers feature combinations of an integral
digital pressure sensor (DPT), a damper actuator,
and a 32-bit microprocessor. The controllers' small
package size facilitates quick field installation and
efficient use of space without compromising high-
tech control performance. The VMA1930 controllers
include an integral real-time clock, which enables
the controllers to monitor and control schedules,
calendars, and trends, and operate for extended
periods of time as stand-alone controllers when
offline from the Metasys
VMA controllers connect easily to the wired and
wireless network sensors for zone and discharge air
temperature sensing.
The Metasys system Field Equipment Controllers
(FEC) family controllers and network sensors
communicate using the BACnet protocol. The
BACnet protocol is a standard for ANSI, ASHRAE,
and the International Standards Organization (ISO)
for building controls. VMA1930 Field Controllers
are BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL) listed and
certified BACnet Advanced Application Controllers
(B-AACs).

This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when this equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area
may cause harmful interference, in which case the
users will be required to correct the interference at
their own expense.

Installation
Observe the following guidelines when installing a
VMA1930 controller:
• Transport the controller in the original container
to minimize vibration and shock damage to the
controller.
• Do not drop the controller or subject it to physical
shock.
