Introduction 1.1. The DAC’s I/O Points The compact size of the DAC allows technicians The Discharge Air Controller (DAC) to field-mount the DAC in a rooftop unit or enclosure (P/N 818-9001) is a packaged HVAC control board close to it, allowing for local connection of sensors for use either as a standalone controller or in zone and transducers.
Mounting and Powering The DAC is usually mounted by the HVAC equipment manufacturer. Therefore, the installer need only make the necessary connections between the boards and the site controller(s). In some instances, an installer may be required to mount the DAC. There are no restrictions on the location of the DAC;...

The MODBUS Network If the recommended cable is not available in your area, be sure the wiring meets or exceeds the following specs: Although the DAC can operate as a stand-alone Shielded? controller, it relies on an E2 unit for advanced features such as remote dial-in/dial-out, logging, and alarm Twisted Pair Conductor Type...
3.1.2. Network Addressing - Visograph The network address makes a board unique from other boards on the network of the same type. This allows the site controller to find it and communicate with it easily. The network address of the DAC is set using add- on devices called visographs (P/N 318-7272).

DAC Status LEDs When a DAC board is powered up, you will be able to determine the operating status of the board by observing its status LEDs. Figure 6-1 - DAC Status LED Locations 6.1.

Software Overview Also, VAV mode does not require a local space sensor to be connected to the controller. Instead, the system terminal load is calculated by the E2 and is The DAC maintains space temperature setpoints sent over the network to the DAC so the operational by modulating heating or cooling stages to maintain a mode can be determined.

Cool stages will be turned on to maintain the supply air temperature at the active setpoint. There are two active space temperature setpoints 7.4.1.
