Introduction
This guide shows the User Interface instructions for the VT8300 Series Room Controller (Firmware Release version 1.7) for User and
Integrators.
User and Integrator Screens
The VT8300 Room Controller has dynamic screens and parameters that only appear on certain models or based on the presence of
a communication module (VCM). The LUA tab on the second menu screen, will also only show if a LUA script is uploaded to the Room
Controller.
See below legend screen details.

Notes
1. When any change is made to a parameter, the value is permanently saved in the database when the
next parameter is selected or another screen is opened. This event is true only if a parameter was
changed locally on the Room Controller. Making changes through BACnet will not have the same
outcome. If permanent changes need to be done remotely through BACnet, use priority 1, 2 or 3, or
write to relinquish default (priority 17)
2. The ZigBee Pro communication module must be Revision 10 (R10) or later to support newly
introduced devices such as water leak sensor and the ZigBee Green Power environmental sensor.
3. The Room Controller must be running Firmware version 1.7 or later to enable the Automatic Demand
Response (ADR) feature.

Disclaimer
*Disclaimer
Standby screen: The Room Controller incorporates TFT-type LCD technology, and therefore,
necessary precautions are required to prevent the phenomenon of image retention (residual
image) from occurring.
Image retention may occur when a static image is displayed on the screen for a prolonged pe-
riod of time. This can cause a faint outline of the image to remain visible on the screen when the
screen is changed via the user menu, or a different image is uploaded and selected to be dis-
played. To minimize and prevent image retention, it is recommended to select the Screen Save
setting on the Standby screen selection from the setup menu Display 1/2. This setting switches
the display during periods of inactivity from the Home Screen.
It is recommended to use a black or medium gray image, or one with light color contrasts as the
screen saver to prevent this phenomenon from occurring. If the display still exhibits this phe-
nomenon, loading an all-black or all-medium gray image as the screen saver and displaying it for
upwards of 5 hours continuously minimizes this effect.
NOTE: Avoid placing the Room Controller in poorly ventilated areas, or in areas that may
create excess heat around the display.

Room Controller only satisfies Cooling demands, Heating demands are ignored. Dehumidification is
allowed
System mode Heat Cool
Room Controller only satisfies Heating demands, Cooling demands are ignored. Dehumidification is
allowed

Setpoint Adjustment for Cooling Mode
In Cooling mode, the setpoint displayed in the bar is the current occupied cooling setpoint. During occupied setpoint adjustment, the
large digits are temporarily used to show occupied cooling setpoint while it is adjusted.
Normal temperature display resumes after setpoint is adjusted and actual occupied cooling setpoint shows in setpoint bar.

Automatic Heating/Cooling Mode
Setpoint Adjustment for Heating Mode
In automatic mode, setpoint showing at the top of the set point bar located directly under the blue line represents the actual oc-
cupied cooling setpoint.
During occupied setpoints adjustment, large digits are temporarily used to display the occupied Cooling
Setpoint or occupied Heating Setpoint. The actual setpoint is dependent on the last effective demand (heating or cooling). The
setpoint on top of the red line represents the actual occupied heating setpoint. The differential between the occupied heating and
cooling setpoint is defined by the minimum deadband configuration parameter.
Normal temperature display resumes after setpoints are adjusted and the actual occupied heating and cooling setpoints show in
the setpoint bar.
Other Functions
Local humidity only shows on models with the humidity sensor present and when enabled by conguration
property RH Display.
Outdoor temperature display is dependent on receiving a valid networked outdoor temperature value.

PARAMETER DETAILS
Conguration Parameters Default Value Signicance and Adjustments
COM address
Default value: 254
COM Address
Room Controller networking address. For wireless models, the use of the COM
address is not mandatory. The COM address is an optional way to identify a device
on the network and is recommended if used with an MPM. It is Mandatory for BACnet.
Range: 0 to 254
Node type
Default: Router
Node Type
Sets device to act as Router or Coordinator in a network.
Coordinator: Creates the network and manages the binding of wireless devices.
Router: Joins a network created by a coordinator (permit join must be set to ‘ON’).
Choices: Coordinator or Router
Pan ID
Default value: 0
ZigBee Pan ID
Personal Area Network Identification that links specific Room Controllers to specific
ZigBee coordinators. For every Room Controller reporting to a coordinator, set the
SAME PAN ID value both on the coordinator and the Room Controller.
NOTE: The default value of 0 is NOT a valid PAN ID.
NOTE: For Room Controllers running Firmware version 1.3 and earlier, the PAN ID
must be set to 501-1000 for the Room Controller to act as a coordinator.
Range: 1 to 32767
ZIGBEE NETWORK 1/2
The ZigBee Pro Network screen shows only when the optional ZigBee Pro communication module is detected in the device. When
setting up a ZigBee network to bind with multiple devices, there must first be a Coordinator to manage the initial binding between the
Router and the end devices. After successful binding, the Router becomes the parent to the end devices.
NOTE: Before binding any ZigBee devices, the network must first be created by the Coordinator.

028-0427-11 October 2018
Channel
Default value: 10
ZigBee Channel
The frequency or channel on which the ZigBee network transmits and receives data.
The channel of the Coordinator must match that of the routers to exchange data.
The default value of 10 is NOT a valid channel. The valid range of available channel is
from 11 to 25.
Using channels 15 and 25 is recommended.
Range: 10 to 25
Network status
Read Only
ZigBee Network Status
Shows the current status of the ZigBee network.
No NWK: ZigBee configured but no network joined
Joined: ZigBee network joined
Online: Communicating (Exchanging data)
Display Readings: No NWK, Joined, Online
Permit join
Default value: On
Permit Join
Changing this value to “Off” on the Coordinator prevents any new ZigBee devices
from joining the network.
Permit join can be On/Off when the Room Controller is a Coordinator, however the
parameter is read only when the Room Controller is a router. If not set to off manually
the Permit join will stay On for 3 hours.
Choices: On or Off
