• Several 6 mm (1/4 in.) female spade terminals for input and output wiring
• Small straight-blade screwdriver for securing wires in the terminal blocks
Mounting
Observe these guidelines when mounting an FX-PCV.
Important: When the air supply to the VAV box is below 10°C (50°F), make sure that any
condensation on the VAV box, particularly on the damper shaft, does not enter the FX-
PCV electronics. Mount the FX-PCV vertically above the damper shaft to allow any shaft
condensation to fall away from the FX-PCV. Additional measures may be required in some
installations.
• Ensure the mounting surface can support the controller and any user-supplied enclosure.
• Mount the controller on a hard, even surface whenever possible.
• Use shims or washers to mount the controller securely and evenly on the mounting surface.
• Mount the controller in an area free of corrosive vapors and observe the ambient conditions in
the Technical specifications section.
• Provide sufficient space around the controller for cable and wire connections and good
ventilation through the controller. Leave a minimum of 50 mm (2 in.) around the top, bottom,
sides, and front of the controller.
• Do not mount the controller on surfaces prone to vibration, such as duct work, or in areas
where electromagnetic emissions from other devices or wiring can interfere with controller
communication.
On panel or enclosure mount applications, observe these additional guidelines:
• Do not install the controller in an airtight enclosure.
• Mount the controller so that the enclosure walls do not obstruct cover removal or ventilation
through the controller.
• Mount the controller so that the power transformer and other devices do not radiate excessive
heat to the controller.
To mount the FX-PCV controller:
1. Place the controller in the proper mounting position on the damper shaft so that the wiring
connections are easily accessible. Make sure the controller base is parallel to the VAV box
(perpendicular to the damper shaft). If needed, use a spacer to offset tipping of the FX-PCV
controller caused by the shaft bushings.
2. Secure the self-drilling No. 10 screw through the FX-PCV controller mounting slot with a power
screwdriver and 100 mm (4 in.) extension socket. Otherwise, use a punch to mark the position
of the shoulder washer, and then drill a hole into the VAV box using a 3.5 mm (9/64 in.) drill bit.
Insert the mounting screw, and tighten against the washer.
Important: Do not overtighten the screws, or the threads may strip. If mounting to the
VAV box, make sure the screws do not interfere with damper blade movement.
3. Locate the damper position using the typical marking on the end of the damper shaft.
FX-PCV Programmable Variable Air Volume Box Controllers Installation Instructions2

Figure 1: Typical damper end shaft Iocns
4. Note the direction, clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW), required to close the damper.
Grasp the damper shaft firmly with pliers and either manually close the damper (for 90° boxes)
or manually open the damper (for 45° or 60° boxes).
5. Push down and hold the Manual Override button (Figure 2), and turn the FX-PCV controller
coupler until it contacts the mechanical end-stop at either the fully closed (90° boxes) or fully
open (45° and 60° boxes) position.
6. If the damper for a 90° box closes CCW, rotate the coupler to the CCW mechanical limit. If the
damper for a 90° box closes CW, rotate the coupler to the CW mechanical limit. The open end-
stop is automatically set for 90° boxes. For 45° and 60° boxes, hard stops must be provided
at both fully closed and fully open damper positions. By installing the FX-PCV controller at the
fully open position, the FX-PCV controller provides the open stop for 45° and 60° boxes. The
closed damper seal provides the fully closed stop.
7. All models are compact in size and are easily installed on VariableAir Volume (VAV) boxes with a
round shaft up to 13 mm in diameter,or a 10 mm square shaft.Tighten the square coupler bolt
to the shaft using an 8 mm (5/16 in.) wrench or 10 mm (3/8 in.) 12-point socket. Tighten to 11
to 15 N·m (100 to 130 lb·in).
8. Loop the pneumatic tubing to include a trap for condensation. Attach the tubing from the FX-
PCV controller to the VAV box pickup. The HIGH (red) tubing is connected to the inlet or high-
pressure side and the clear tubing to the low side (Figure 2).
9. Push the manual release button, and turn the actuator coupling manually to ensure that the
actuator can rotate from fully closed to fully open positions without binding.
10. Complete the mounting by rotating the damper to the fully open position.
CAUTION
Risk of Property Damage
Rotate the damper to the full-open position before starting the air handler. Failure to rotate the damper
to the full-open position may result in damage to the VAV box or ductwork when the air handler is
started.

The FC Bus terminal block is a blue, removable, 4-terminal plug that fits into a board-mounted jack.
Wire the removable FC Bus terminal block plugs on the FX-PCV and other field controllers in a daisy-
chain configuration using 3-wire twisted, shielded cable as shown in Figure 3. See Table 5 for more
information.
Note: The Shield terminal (SHLD) on the FC Bus terminal block is isolated and can be used to
connect the cable shields on the bus (Figure 3).
Figure 3: FC bus terminal block wiring
SA bus terminal block
The SA Bus terminal block is a brown, removable, 4-terminal plug that fits into a board-mounted
jack.
Wire the removable SA Bus terminal block plugs on the FX-PCV and other SA Bus devices in a daisy-
chain configuration using 4-wire twisted, shielded cable as shown in Figure 4. See Table 5 for more
information.
Figure 4: SA bus terminal block wiring
FX-PCV Programmable Variable Air Volume Box Controllers Installation Instructions6

Sensor port
The Sensor (SA Bus) port on the left side of the FX-PCV (Figure 2) is an RJ-12, 6-position modular jack
that provides a connection for the VAV Balancing Tool, specified network sensors, or other SA Bus
devices with RJ-12 plugs.
The Sensor port is connected internally to the SA Bus terminal block. See Table 5 for more
information. The Sensor Port pin assignment is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Pin number assignments for sensor, SA bus, and FC bus ports on FX-PCVs
Supply power terminal block
The 24 VAC supply power terminal block is a gray, removable, 3-terminal plug that fits into a board-
mounted jack on the bottom right of the FX-PCV.
Wire the 24 VAC supply power wires from the transformer to the HOT and COM terminals on the
terminal plug as shown in Figure 6. The middle terminal on the supply power terminal block is not
used. See Table 5 for more information.
The supply power wire colors may be different on transformers from other manufacturers. Refer to
the transformer manufacturer’s instructions and the project installation drawings for wiring details.
Important: Connect 24 VAC supply power to the FX-PCV and all other network devices so that
transformer phasing is uniform across the network devices. Powering network devices with
uniform 24 VAC supply power phasing reduces noise, interference, and ground loop problems.
The FX-PCV does not require an earth ground connection.

FX-PCV Programmable Variable Air Volume Box Controllers Installation Instructions16

Setup and adjustments
Important: Electrostatic discharge can damage controller components. Use proper
electrostatic discharge precautions during installation, setup, and servicing to avoid damaging
the controller.
Setting the device address
FX-PCV controllers are master devices on BACnet MS/TP (SA or FC) buses. Before operating
controllers on a bus, you must set a valid and unique device address for each controller on the bus.
You set a controller's device address by setting the positions of the switches on the Device Address
DIP switch block at the top of the controller (Figure 2). Valid addresses for these controllers are
device addresses 4 through 127.
The DIP switch block (Figure 8) has eight switches numbered 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1. Switches
64 through 1 are device address switches. Switch 128 is a mode switch that enables a field
controller to operate on an FX-ZFR Series Wireless Field Bus. Switch 128 must be set to off for all
hard-wired SA and FC Bus applications.
Figure 8: Device address switches set to 21
Note: FX-PCV controllers ship with switch 128 ON and the remaining address switches off. This
renders the controllers wired subordinate devices, which do not operate on MS/TP buses, but
do not interfere with bus operation. Set a valid and unique device address on the controller
before applying power to the controller on the bus.
To set the device addresses on an FX-PCV controller:
1. Set all of the switches on the controller’s device address DIP switch block (128 through 1) to off.
2. Set one or more of the seven address switches (64 through 1) to ON, so that the sum of the
switch numbers set to ON equals the intended device address. See Table 6 for valid controller
addresses. Set the highest number switch that is less than or equal to the intended device
address to ON. Then continue setting lower numbered switches until the total equals the
intended address. For example, if the intended device address is 21, set switch 16 to ON first,
then set switch 4 ON, followed by switch 1 (16+4+1= 21). See Figure 8.
Note: Do not connect a field controller with switch 128 set to ON to an active (hard-wired)
SA or FC Bus. When a controller with switch 128 set to ON and a device address from 4 to
127 is connected to a wired field bus, the entire field bus is rendered inoperable until the
controller is disconnected or switch 128 is set to OFF.
3. Set a unique and sequential device address for each of the controllers connected on the SA
or FC Bus starting with device address 4. To ensure the best bus performance, set sequential
device addresses with no gaps in the device address range (for example, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9).
The controllers do not need to be physically connected on the bus in their numerical device
address order.
4. Write each controller's device address on the white label below the DIP switch block on the
controller's cover.
17FX-PCV Programmable Variable Air Volume Box Controllers Installation Instructions

Refer to the FX-PC Series Controllers MS/TP Communications Bus Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011670) for
more information on field controller device addresses and how to set them on MS/TP buses.
Table 6 describes the valid FC Bus and SA Bus devices addresses for Johnson Controls® MS/TP
communications bus applications.

(Switch 128 Off)
Reserved for peripheral devices. Not valid for controllers.
4 to 127
(Switch 128 Off)
Valid for MS/TP Master controllers on a hardwired SA Bus or FC Bus.
Setting the EOL switch
Each controller has an End-of-Line (EOL) switch, which, when set to ON (up), sets the FX-PCV
controller as a terminating device on the bus. See Figure 2 for the EOL switch location on the
controller. The default EOL switch position is off (down).
Figure 9: EOL switch positions
To set the EOL switch on an FX-PCV controller:
1. Determine the physical location of the FX-PCV controller on the SA or FC Bus.
2. Determine if the controller must be set as a terminating device on the bus.
Note: The EOL termination rules for SA Buses and FC Buses are different. Refer to the FX-
PC Series Controllers MS/TP Communications Bus Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011670) for detailed
information regarding EOL termination rules and EOL switch settings on SA and FC Buses.
3. If the controller is a terminating device on the SA Bus or FC Bus, set the EOL switch to ON. If
the controller is not a terminating device on the bus, set the EOL switch to off.
Commissioning
Use the following procedure to commission the FX-PCV controller:
1. Download the control application to the FX-PCV controller using the Controller Configuration
Tool (CCT). Refer to the Controller Tool Help (LIT-12011147).
2. Commission the VAV Box. Refer to the Controller Tool Help (LIT-12011147).
