FCC WARNING
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements pre-
scribe certification of personal computers and any interconnected
peripherals in the FCC rules and regulations.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: This device may not cause
harmful interference, and this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy for its
operation and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
installation and operation manual, may cause interference to radio
and television reception. It has been found to comply with the limits
for a Class A computing device pursuant to the aforementioned
regulations. These are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference when operated in a residential area. Only
peripherals (computer input/output devices) certified to comply with
the Class A limits may be connected to this device. Operation with
noncertified computer peripherals is likely to result in interference
with radio and television reception. If this equipment does cause
interference to radio or television reception, the user is encouraged to
correct the situation by one or more of the following measures:
•Relocate the receiver with respect to the computer.
•Move the computer away from the receiver.
•Plug the equipment into a different outlet, so that the computing
device and receiver are on different branch circuits.
•Disconnect and remove any unused cables that may be acting as a
transmission source.
•Make certain that the computing device is plugged into a
grounded outlet receptacle.
If necessary, contact Johnson Controls, Inc., for additional sugges-
tions.

SYMBOLS
This is the symbol for Electro-Static Discharge. Electro-Static
Discharge (ESD) can damage certain electronic devices. ESD
is a transfer of electrostatic charge between bodies at different
electrostatic potentials caused by direct contact or induced by a
electrostatic field. The threshold for feeling an electro-static discharge
is approximately 900 to 1000 volts. The average spark produced by a
static discharge from a human body varies from about 10,000 to
25,000 volts.
ESD can cause damage to integrated circuits (IC). Due to the small
size of these complex devices, the ESD sensitivity has increased so
much that some of these devices can be destroyed or damaged by as
little as 20 volts. ESD damage is easy to induce, hard to detect, and is
expensive to repair. Workers could be subjecting an electronic device
to lethal voltages without being aware. The following is a list of
precautions when handling static sensitive devices.
·A conductive ground strap should be worn to assure that you are at
ground potential. If a ground strap cannot be used, you should
ground yourself before touching the device and remain in contact
with a grounded metallic object during the entire time while
working with the device.
·Containers, tools, test equipment, and fixtures that come into
contact with the device should be properly grounded. Grounding
of electrical equipment should be done by a grounded plug, not
through the conductive surface of the grounded workstation.
· Workers clothing should never make contact with the device and
workers should avoid activities that cause friction in the area of the
workstation (wiping feet, rubbing of hands, etc.).
·Workers should avoid touching leads or contacts.
This is the symbol for caution and represents possible
equipment damage. When this symbol appears, follow the
succeeding text to prevent possible equipment damage.
This is the symbol for danger and represents possible bodily
injury or threat to life and limb. When this symbol appears,
follow the succeeding text closely for safe operation.

VAV-01 OVERVIEW
The JCI VAV-01 Controller consists of a Variable Air Volume (VAV)
controller integrated with a velocity pressure sensor. It provides
pressure dependent/independent cooling control for fan powered VAV
terminal boxes with or without reheat capacity.
The VAV-01 Controller is a 4”x 6” circuit board using SMT (surface
mount technology) components. The board is snap-track mountable
and has a built-in airflow sensor, 5 Triac outputs, 24 VAC input, a FTT-
10 free topology transceiver and a STAT/Configuration port. The VAV-
01 can support stand-alone operation but is best utilized when used
in conjunction with network communications. The unit is shown in
Figure 1 below:

INSPECTION
Inspect the carton for possible damage. If damaged, notify the
appropriate carrier immediately. Inspect the components for obvious
damage. Contact Electronic Systems USA before returning damaged
products.
REQUIREMENTS
• Job wiring diagrams.
• Tools (not provided):
- Appropriate screwdrivers for wiring terminals and mounting screws.
- Digital Volt/Ohm Meter (DVM).
• Training: Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician.
• VAV-01, enclosure for conduit applications (not provided).
• ULlisted Class 2 power transformer (not provided) supplying a
nominal 24 VAC (20.4 to 30 VAC) with a minimum rating of 5 VA at
50/60 Hz and 5 VA plus DO load ( 24 VA total max.) at 50/60 Hz.
LOCATION
CAUTION
• AVOID LOCATIONS WHERE EXCESSIVE MOISTURE, CORROSIVE
FUMES, EXPLOSIVE VAPORS, OR VIBRATIONS ARE PRESENT.
• AVOID ELECTRICAL NOISE INTERFERENCE. DO NOT INSTALL NEAR
LARGE CONTACTORS, ELECTRICAL MACHINERY, OR WELDING
EQUIPMENT.

DOES NOT EXCEED 85% OR FALL BELOW 5%, NON-CONDENSING.
MOUNTING
The JCI VAV-01 Controller can be mounted in any direction and on
any plane. Mounting dimensions are 4”x6” overall board size for
snap-track mounting. For applications requiring mounting using
standoffs the .150” circuit board mounting holes are spaced 3.5”x5.5”.
Dimensions shown in Figure 2 below are in inches and (mm).
When mounting the JCI VAV-01 Controller in the snap-track railing be
careful not to exert too much pressure when inserting the VAV-01
board into the snap-track.
NOTE: Follow static electricity precautions when installing, servicing,
or operating the system.
