FX-PCV1617 and FX-PCV1632 VAV Box Controllers
Installation Instructions
FX-PCV1617, FX-PCV1632
Applications
The FX-PCV1617 and FX-PCV1632 are programmable
digital controllers designed for VAV box applications that
communicate by using the BACnet®
Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) protocol. The
controllers feature an integral digital pressure sensor, a
damper actuator, and a 32-bit microprocessor. The
controllers' small package size facilitates quick field
installation and efficient use of space without
compromising high-tech control performance. The
FX-PCV controllers connect easily to either the networked
or to the non-communicating sensor for zone air
temperature sensing.
Switchable Communications
Protocols
By default, the FX-PC Family Controllers and network
sensors communicate using either the standard BACnet
protocol based on the ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2004, or the
BACnet/IP protocol.
The BACnet protocol is a standard for ANSI, ASHRAE,
and the International Standards Organization (ISO) for
building controls.
FX-PCG, FX-PCX, and FX-PCV Controllers are BTL-listed
as BACnet Application Specific Controllers (B-ASCs).
FX-PCA Field Controllers and the VMA1930 Field
Controller are BTL-listed as BACnet Advanced Application
Controllers (B-AACs). The NS Series Sensors are
BTL-listed as BACnet Smart Sensors (B-SSs).

Refer to the QuickLIT website
Release 10.1 and later of the FX-PCT can be used to
switch the Field Bus communications protocol in
supported FX-PC Controllers to be either the standard
BACnet Master-Slave/Token-Passing (MS/TP) or the N2
protocol. All new controllers either use BACnet MS/TP
as the default communications protocol, or BACnet/IP.
Switchable communications protocols in the MS/TP
models provide a cost-effective upgrade and
modernization path for customers with existing N2
controllers. The Modernization Guide for Legacy N2
Controllers (LIT-12012045) and the controller-specific
documentation provide installation and commissioning
support and include tips for efficient and safe
replacement. Refer to the N2 Compatibility Options
chapter of the Controller Tool Help (LIT-12011147) for
information about mapping N2 Objects in controllers with
switchable communications protocols.
The N2-capable FX-PC Controllers can be used as
functional replacements for legacy N2 controllers. The
N2-capable FX-PC Controllers:
• have the I/O quantities and characteristics of the
FX-PC family controllers
• must be programmed with FX-PCT, which has
programming capabilities that are similar (but not
identical) to HVACPro, GX9100, GPL, and other
legacy tools
• support SA Bus devices
• support FX-WRZ wireless sensors from the controller
using the FX-WRZ7860 receiver when configured for
BACnet MS/TP communication
The N2-capable FX-PC controllers:
• do not support Zone Bus (for example, TMZ sensors
and M100 actuators)
• do not support passthrough in the commissioning
mode
• do not support remote downloading or commissioning
using BACnet routing
• do not support wireless connection to the N2 bus
