The air source supply fan's variable frequency drive (VFD) NOTE The VVT Bypass Controller controller is available in both English or Metric units. The metric version has (-M) appended to the part number. Everything in this document applies to both versions.
Set the controller's address (page 10). Wire the controller to the BACnet MS/TP or BACnet ARC156 network (page 10). Wire the inputs and outputs (page 12). Field-supplied hardware Each VVT Bypass Controller installation requires the following field-supplied components: • damper •...
Installing the VVT Bypass Controller Mounting the VVT Bypass Controller Mount the VVT Bypass Controller on the bypass duct damper actuator shaft. For service access, allow at least 1 foot (.3 m) of clearance between the front of the controller and adjacent surfaces.

Installing the VVT Bypass Controller Hold down the controller’s damper release button and rotate the actuator clamp in the same direction that closed the damper. Rotate the clamp until it stops, then rotate it back one notch. Release the button.
WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals. CAUTIONS • The VVT Bypass Controller is powered by a Class 2 power source. Take appropriate isolation measures when mounting it in a control panel where non-Class 2 circuits are present. •...
Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking. Addressing the VVT Bypass Controller You must give the VVT Bypass Controller an address that is unique on the network. You can address the VVT Bypass Controller before or after you wire it for power.
Baud diagram on the controller. NOTE Use the same baud rate for all controllers on the network segment. If the VVT Bypass Controller is at either end of a network segment, connect a BT485 to the VVT Bypass Controller. Insert the power screw terminal connector into the VVT Bypass Controller's power terminals.
Wiring a Duct Air Temperature sensor to an input Part #33ZCSENDAT The VVT Bypass Controller must be connected to a Duct Air Temperature (DAT) sensor that monitors the temperature of the air delivered by the air source. NOTE This document gives instructions for wiring the sensor to the VVT Bypass Controller. For mounting and wiring the sensor, see the Carrier Sensors Installation Guide.
NOTE You cannot use the VVT Bypass Controller's built-in actuator if wiring external actuator(s) to the analog output. High-torque actuators You can wire one of the following Belimo actuators to the VVT Bypass Controller's analog output instead of using the controller's built-in, 35 in.-lb (4 Nm) actuator. NMX24-MFT P-10028 90 in.-lb (10 Nm) actuator with 0–10 Vdc control and 0–10 Vdc...

NOTE For proper operation and to prevent damage to the devices, use the same polarity for the actuator's power and the VVT Bypass Controller's power. Linked actuators You can wire up to 4 of the following Belimo actuators to the VVT Bypass Controller's analog output. Link actuators whose travel times and other parameters coincide. LMX24-MFT P-10028 45 in.-lb (5 Nm) actuator with 0–10 Vdc control...
Installing the VVT Bypass Controller NOTE Maintain polarity if using the same power supply for more than one actuator. Wiring and mounting the Equipment Touch CAUTION If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Partially cut, then bend and pull off the outer jacket of the cable. Do not nick the inner insulation. Strip about .25 inch (.6 cm) of the inner insulation from each wire. Wire the VVT Bypass Controller's Rnet+ and Rnet- terminals to the terminals of the same name on the Equipment Touch's connector.
Configuring the VVT Bypass Controller's properties To start up the VVT Bypass Controller, you must configure certain points and properties. Appendix A (page 29) is a complete list of all the points and properties, with descriptions, defaults, and ranges. These properties affect the unit operation and/or control.
Performing system checkout Bypass damper Verify the VVT Bypass Controller is securely fastened to the bypass damper shaft and duct work. Verify duct air temperature sensor is installed at the inlet of the damper or in the air source supply duct upstream of the bypass damper connection.
The controller can operate as part of a linked VVT system or as a stand-alone controller. Duct static pressure control The VVT Bypass Controller modulates a bypass damper or VFD to maintain the static pressure in the supply duct of the pressure-dependent VVT system. The controller has a built-in damper actuator that provides 35 in./lbs (4 Nm) of torque.
Maximum Heating SAT or below the configured Minimum Cooling SAT for more than 5 minutes. Airside linkage When the VVT Bypass Controller is part of a linked system, it uses data received through Linkage (equipment SAT and mode) to detect excessive leaving air temperature (LAT) conditions at the equipment and equipment operating mode.
NOTE To help you troubleshoot, obtain a Module Status (Modstat) from the controller and review the System Error and Warning details. LED's The LED's on the VVT Bypass Controller show the status of certain functions. Verify the LED patterns by cycling power to the controller and noting the lights and flashes. If this LED is on...
Controller. • Replace the VVT Bypass Controller. To get the serial number If you need the VVT Bypass Controller's serial number when troubleshooting, the number is on: • a sticker on the back of the main controller board • a Module Status report (Modstat) under Core (or Main) board hardware To obtain a modstat in the WebCTRL®...
Troubleshooting To replace the controller's battery If the VVT Bypass Controller experiences a power outage and the control program stops functioning, replace the battery. You need to replace the battery if the voltage measures below 2.9 volts when the controller is not powered.
