Installing the VVT Zone II IMPORTANT! If slaving 45° actuators, you must go to Properties > I/O Points > Hot Water Valve Max and change scaling to 200 for the slave actuator to correctly track the primary actuator. NOTE Maintain polarity if using the same power supply for more than one actuator.
Configuring the VVT Zone II's properties To start up the VVT Zone II, you must configure certain points and properties. Appendix A (page 65) is a complete list of all the points and properties, with descriptions, defaults, and ranges. These properties affect the unit operation and/or control.
Start-up Configuring ZS Sensors The VVT Zone II automatically detects 1 ZS temperature sensor set to address (1). This sensor is labeled Main ZS Sensor. You must configure the ZS Sensor properties in the i-Vu® application or Field Assistant as follows: •...
Start-up Commissioning the VVT Zone II Using Field Assistant or the i-Vu application: Calibrate the damper travel. Go to Properties > Configuration > Service Configuration > Pressure Dependent Control > Details tab > Test and Balance. Click Calibrated Damper Close and verify it goes to the closed position.
Sequence of operation Sequence of operation The VVT Zone II supports 3 types of pressure-dependent terminal configurations: • Single duct • Series fan-powered • Parallel fan-powered The controller can operate as part of a linked VVT system or as a stand-alone controller.
See Appendix B: VVT terminal modes (page 92). Damper Actuator(s) – The VVT Zone II's built-in 35 in/lb (4 Nm) actuator has a 205 second full travel time for 90° operation. For field retrofit applications, the actuator can be adjusted for a damper stroke between 30° and 90°, and it can be configured to move clockwise (default) or counterclockwise.
Sequence of operation Zone reheat control The VVT Zone II can be configured for one of the following Heat Types to meet the zone's heating requirements: • Modulating Hot Water/Steam • Modulating SCR Electric • Two Position Hot Water/Steam •...
Demand control ventilation (DCV) and dehumidification using optional sensors The VVT Zone II’s RH/CO2 input supports an optional CO sensor or Relative Humidity (RH) sensor. The sensor can have a 5-volt maximum output. The range is configurable as either 0–5 or 1–5 volts (1–5 volt supports 4–20 mA sensors with a 250 ohm resistor).
A local schedule set up directly in the controller using a touchscreen device or Field Assistant. • A network schedule from an i-Vu internal router. The VVT Zone II must be networked to an i-Vu Open Router or an i-Vu internal router.
Sequence of operation Alarms Space Temp Sensor Alarm – The VVT Zone II monitors each space temperature sensor and the network input for space temperature. If no valid space temperature value is available, the controller generates an alarm and disables all local heating or cooling. The controller modulates the damper to the minimum heat, minimum cool, or ventilation position based on the air source mode.
