VVT Zone Controller 1
What is a VVT Zone Controller?
The VVT Zone Controller (#OPN-VVTZC), a component of the i-Vu Open Control System, controls zone
temperature in single duct, fan powered, Variable Volume and Temperature (VVT®) applications. The VVT
Zone Controller with built-in actuator maintains zone temperature by operating the terminal fan and
regulating the flow of conditioned air into the space. Buildings with diverse loading conditions can be
supported by controlling the air source heating and cooling sources or supplemental heat. The VVT Zone
Controller provides dedicated control functions for single duct and fan box terminals with modulating heat, up
to 2 stages of ducted heat, or combination baseboard and ducted heat.
The i-Vu Open Control System uses linkage to exchange data between the zone terminals and their air source
to form a coordinated HVAC system. The system's air source controller, zone controllers, and bypass controller
are linked so that their data exchange can be managed by one zone controller configured as the VVT Master.
The following illustration shows the VVT Zone Controller in a typical i-Vu Open Control System.

damper traveled less than 90 degrees, do the following to set the actuator's fully open position:
a) Loosen the appropriate stop clamp screw. See figure below.
b) Move the stop clamp until it contacts the
edge of the actuator cam.
c) Tighten the screw.
Move stop

necessary
9 Hold down the damper release button, rotate the damper to verify that it fully opens and closes, then
release the button.
Wiring the VVT Zone Controller for power
The VVT Zone Controller is powered by a Class 2 power source. Take appropriate isolation measures when
mounting it in a control panel where non-Class 2 circuits are present.
Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you:
• Maintain the same polarity
• Use the power supply only for Carrier Open controllers

VVT Zone Controller 9
To wire the controller for power
1 Remove power from the power supply.
2 Pull the screw terminal connector from the controller's power terminals labeled Gnd and 24 Vac or Hot.
3 Connect the transformer wires to the screw terminal connector.
4 Apply power to the power supply.
5 Measure the voltage at the VVT Zone Controller’s power input terminals to verify that the voltage is within
the operating range of 21.6–26.4 Vac.
6 Connect a 4-inch (10.2 cm) wire from Gnd to the control panel.
7 Insert the screw terminal connector into the VVT Zone Controller's power terminals.
8 Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking.
To address the VVT Zone Controller
You must give the VVT Zone Controller an address that is unique on the network. You can address the VVT
Zone Controller before or after you wire it for power.
1 If the VVT Zone Controller has been wired for power, pull the screw terminal connector from the
controller's power terminals labeled Gnd and 24 Vac. The controller reads the address each time you
apply power to it.
2 Using the rotary switches, set the controller's address. Set the Tens (10's) switch to the tens digit of the
address, and set the Ones (1's) switch to the ones digit.
EXAMPLE If the controller’s address is 25, point the arrow on the Tens (10's) switch to 2 and the arrow
on the Ones (1's) switch to 5.

Wiring the VVT Zone Controller to the MS/TP network
The VVT Zone Controller communicates using BACnet on an MS/TP network segment communications at
9600 bps, 19.2 kbps, 38.4 kbps, or 76.8 kbps.
Wire the controllers on an MS/TP network segment in a daisy-chain configuration.
Install a BT485 on the first and last controller on a network segment to add bias and prevent signal
distortions due to echoing.
See the MS/TP Networking and Wiring Installation Guide for more details.
Wiring specifications
Cable: 22 AWG or 24 AWG, low-capacitance, twisted, stranded, shielded copper wire
Maximum length: 2000 feet (610 meters)
To wire the controller to the network
1 Pull the screw terminal connector from the controller's power terminals labeled Gnd and 24 Vac or Hot.
2 Check the communications wiring for shorts and grounds.
3 Connect the communications wiring to the BACnet port’s screw terminals labeled Net +, Net -, and
Shield.
NOTE Use the same polarity throughout the network segment.
4 Verify that the MSTP jumper is set to MSTP.

VVT Zone Controller 11
5 Set DIP switches 1 and 2 to the appropriate baud rate. See the MSTP baud diagram on the VVT Zone
Controller. The default baud rate is 76.8 kbps.
NOTE Use the same baud rate for all controllers on the network segment.
6 Insert the power screw terminal connector into the VVT Zone Controller's power terminals.
7 Verify communication with the network by viewing a module status report.
