PRODIGY - DIGITAL VAV DIFFUSERS ® PRODUCT OVERVIEW & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS General Description FIGURE 1 Prodigy diffusers are digital VAV diffusers with built-in electric motor and controller MAXIMUM FLOW MINIMUM FLOW providing VAV cooling and VAV heating. INLET INLET The damper modulates open and close to vary the air flow (warm or cool) into the room in response to room temperature.
® PRODUCT OVERVIEW & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Power Supply to Master All Prodigy Master units require a 24 VAC power supply and each draws 3.0 VA. There are three options for power: Field Supplied 24 VAC Price Power Module (PPM) Connect 24 VAC and common lines to optional TP (See Mounting/Installation Instructions on Page 8) (Terminal Plug).
Use cable to connect unit with PPM 115 / 277 POWER SUPPLY (ONE OUTPUT JACK) DRONE OUT (Fig. 4) on Prodigy Master (PPD1, PPD2 or PPD3) or previously connected PPDD using a free Drone output Drone Jack (Fig. 5). Cable length may be extended by using a CC (cable connector) for longer runs.

Master and Drone. Balancing To correctly balance a VAV diffuser, set the maximum flow, the diffuser must be in the 100% open position. The Prodigy diffuser may be opened to 100% by: • Accessing the override open command using the menus availble on the LCD thermsotat >Service Menu >Balanacing >Dpr Override >Goto Full Open (see Balancing Menu page 16)
Auxiliary Heat All Prodigy Master con trol units will pro vide a 24 VAC pulsed output signal for supple men tal auxiliary heating. Two ter min als are located on the junction board for this pur pose (Figure 9). The signals can be wired to an intermediate relay to control a auxiliary heating system.

TR115 / TR277 Transformer Optional Accessory OPTIONAL 20 VA TRANSFORMER Optional 20 VA transformer mounts to the junction bracket of Prodigy Diffuser. Support up to 6 Prodigy units - any combination of masters and associated drones. Installation Instructions Remove lid from junction box.
For automatic changeover the Prodigy uses a dynamic neutral mode for optimal use of the supply air. Basically if the supply air can help the Prodigy meet the room set point it is used as such. For example if the supply air is 70F and the room temperature is 80F with a set point of 72F, the Prodigy will consider the supply air as cold and modulate appropriately.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Prodigy Thermostat Options All thermostats are connected with a connection from the Prodigy to the back of the selected thermostat. Each thermostat has an RJ-12 Service Port on the bottom, used to connect an LCD-SETUP tool for balancing and parameter changes without having to access the penum.

Dual RJ-45 jacks on each diffuser allow daisy chaining each device without splitters or any tools. Included with each Prodigy diffuser is a 35 foot plenum rated network cable to simplify installation in the field.
Termination helps reduce reflections and noise. The terminating can be done with a 100 ohm resistor across the + and - lines. Prodigy Diffusers have ELECTRICAL NOISE EXAMPLE the option for enabling termination via a DIP switch or by a software menu selection.
