What are VAV Zone Controllers?
An i-Vu® Open Control System offers 2 VAV Zone Controllers, the VAV Zone Single Duct controller (#OPN-VAVB1)
and the VAV Zone Fan Terminal controller (#OPN-VAVB3), to control zone temperature using single duct or fan
powered terminals in a Variable Air Volume (VAV®) application. Although a VAV Zone Controller can be included in
a VVT system, this manual focuses mainly on its usage in VAV applications.
The VAV Zone Controller has a built-in actuator and 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 local terminal's supplemental heat. The VAV Zone Controller provides dedicated control functions
for single duct, parallel fan box terminals and series fan box terminals with modulating heat, up to 2 stages of
ducted heat, or combination baseboard and ducted heat.
The following illustration shows the VAV Zone Controller in a typical i-Vu Open Control System.

NOTE
This document gives instructions for field-installation of a VAV Zone Controller in an i-Vu Open Control
System. However, VAV Zone Controllers are available factory-mounted to Carrier’s 35 single duct and 45 parallel
and series fan terminals. All terminals require an integrated duct temperature sensor.
VAV Zone Controllers 3

Introduction
Linkage
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 and zone controllers are linked so that their
data exchange can be managed by one zone controller configured as the VAV Master.
A VAV Master can have a maximum of 63 slave zone controllers reporting to it. An MS/TP network is limited to a
maximum of 60 controllers, but a VAV Master can have controllers from other networks as slaves.
A linked VAV system can be as simple as a single MS/TP network with a VAV Master and slaves, or it can be as
complex as multiple MS/TP networks with VAV sub-masters and slaves on other networks. See the following
examples.
EXAMPLE #1
:A simple network. The VAV Master exchanges data between the slave controllers and the AHU
controller. The linked controllers on an MS/TP network must be sequentially addressed, and the VAV Master must
have the highest address.

EXAMPLE #3

support sub-masters.) The sub-masters exchange data between their slaves and the VAV Master, and the VAV
Master handles data exchange for the whole system.
