CAUTION Before starting the air source fan, make sure the zone terminal dampers are not closed. Starting the fan with dampers closed will damage the system ductwork. Commissioning the VAV Zone II Using Field Assistant or the i-Vu® application: Set damper size. Go to Properties > Configuration > Service Configuration > Flow Control > Details tab >...
CAUTION If your system has an i-Vu® user interface, you must run the Test and Balance report in the i-Vu® application after using VAV Zone II. Running the report uploads the values from the controller to the i-Vu® application. You will lose all your calibrations if you download to the controller in the i-Vu® interface before running this report.
Sequence of operation Sequence of operation The VAV Zone II supports 3 types of pressure-independent terminal configurations: Single duct Series fan-powered Parallel fan-powered The controller can operate as part of a linked system (VAV or VVT) or as a stand-alone controller.
Damper Actuator(s) – The VAV Zone II's 45 in/lb (5 Nm) actuator has a 154 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 VAV Zone II can be configured for one of the following Heat Types to meet the zone's heating requirements: Modulating Hot Water/Steam Two Position Hot Water/Steam Staged Electric Heat (2 stages for VAVB3 with Series/Parallel Fan, 3 stages for Single duct. VAVB1 is 1 stage only.)
Demand control ventilation (DCV) and dehumidification using optional sensors The VAV Zone II’s RH/CO2 input supports an optional CO2 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 or Field Assistant. A network schedule from an i-Vu® internal router. The VAV Zone II must be networked to an i-Vu® Open Router or an i-Vu® internal router.
Properties. Alarms Space Temp Sensor Alarm – The VAV 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.
