VSC Vent, Shade & Curtain Controls
GC-Pro has four (4) VSC controls which can control roof vents, side wall curtains, sun shades and more. VSC controls manage
a vent, shade or curtain from 0-100% open. The default position is closed (0% open) and VSC controls are told to open by
thermostats, humidistats, timers and more- any control with a VSC output option.

How VSC Works:
1)
Controls functions such as a thermostat, humidistat or timer are addressed to the VSC channel of choice.
2)
A VSC control is set up including: the open and close outputs to operate the motor(s) and the total travel time for the
vent, shade or curtain to move from fully closed to fully open (advanced settings.)
3)
The channel for the VSC to receive commands must be entered into the VSC control. Multiple VSC controls may be on
the same channel to open and close to the same positions.
4)
The VSC control is placed into "Auto" mode.
5)
The VSC control will open to the maximum position called for by the controls functions unless a limit control or
manual maximum setting sets the VSC to a reduced position.
Note: "Limit controls" and "24-hour cancel timers" will set a maximum open position for a VSC control (instead of target
minimum open position.)

Zone#: The zone that the VSC is operating in.
VSC Channel: The channel that the VSC control will take position commands from. Multiple VSC controls can be on the same
channel and will open and close to the same target positions (assuming the VSC controls have the same limit and over-ride
settings.)
Min/Max Open: The limits that the VSC should operate within. Typical values are minimum = 0 and maximum = 100%. The
min/max position can be used to manually operate the vent or curtain, or set different limits of each vent/curtain while
maintaining the same target from a single channel.
Travel Time: The time (seconds) to operate the vent, shade or curtain from fully closed to fully open.
Open/Close Output #'s: The outputs which drive the open and close inputs on the motor controller.
