OPERATION OVERVIEW
The VC3xxxX Series Line Voltage Switching Transformer Relay Pack(s) operate as slave
unit(s) under the control of a single master VTR73xxA Room Controller.
Fan operation can be configured and wired for the following:
3 Speed configuration using 3 fan relays ( Low - Med - High )
2 Speed configuration using 2 fan relays ( Low - High )
3 Speed configuration with auto fan speed mode using 3 fan relays
(Low - Med - High - Auto)
2 Speed configuration with auto fan speed mode using 2 fan relays
(Low - High - Auto)
Single fan speed configuration.
The VTR7300 Controller can be configured for typical 2 or 4 pipe heating / cooling FCU
(Fan Coil Unit) applications.
2 or 4 pipe only operation can be configured and wired for the following:
oCooling only
oHeating only
oCooling / Heating with network or local auto changeover
If replacing an existing Line Voltage FCU Thermostat, label the wires
before removal of the thermostat.
Electronic controls are static sensitive devices. Discharge yourself
properly before manipulating and installing the Room Controller.
A short circuit or wrong wiring may permanently damage the Room
Controller or the equipment.
All VTR7300 series controls are designed for use as operating controls
only and are not safety devices. These instruments have undergone
rigorous tests and verification prior to shipping to ensure proper and
reliable operation in the field. Whenever a control failure could lead to
personal injury and/or loss of property, it becomes the responsibility of
the user / installer / electrical system designer to incorporate safety
devices (such as relays, flow switch, thermal protections, etc…) and/or
an alarm system to protect the entire system against such catastrophic
failures. Tampering with the devices or unintended application of the
devices will result in a void of warranty.

4 | 028-0298-09 November 2015
2 or 4 pipe only with electric reheat can be configured and wired for the following:
oCooling only
oHeating only
oCooling / Heating with network or local auto changeover
oOn-Off electric reheat only
oCooling with On-Off or modulating VDC pulsed electric reheat
(model dependent)
oHeating with On-Off or modulating VDC pulsed electric reheat
(model dependent)
oCooling / Heating with network or local changeover with On-Off
or modulating VDC pulsed electric reheat (model dependent)
The VC3xxxX Relay Pack supplies power to the wall VTR73xxA Room
Controller.
The VTR73xxA Controller controls the VC3xxxX Relay Pack(s) via a simple
communication bus.
A maximum of 10 VC3xxxX Relay Pack can be used under a single VTR73xxA
Room Controller.
3 wires minimum are required between the VTR73xxA Controller and the first
VR7300 Relay Pack.
The 3 wire functions are known as the following:
o1 Tx / Rx Communication
o2 Power Hot 7.0 VDC 4 Watts maximum ( required for the
VTR73xxA Controller power)
o3 Power common
Commands for fan speed and valve operation are issued from the VTR73xxA
Room Controller to the VC3xxxX Relay Pack(s)
Network ready
All Viconics VTR7300 series Room Controllers are designed for stand-alone
operation.
They can be fully integrated into your choice of automation systems using the
available communication adapter options.
If required, stand-alone (Network Ready) Room Controllers can be field
retrofitted with the following communication adapters:
oVCM7000V5000W, Room Controller wireless communication adapter
oVCM7300T5000B, Room Controller BACnet™ MS-TP communication
adapter

COMMUNICATION WIRING TO VC3XXXXRELAY PACK
Only ONE VC3xxxX Relay Pack with remote monitoring inputs can be used under a single
VTR73xxA Controller. All other slave units must be VC3xxxX Relay Pack(s) WITHOUT
remote inputs. A maximum of 10 VC3xxxX Relay Packs can be used for a single
VTR73xxA Room Controller.
From the VTR73xxA to the first VC3xxxX Relay Pack
Uses existing or new field wires
A minimum of 3 wires are required 14-22 Ga Solid or Stranded. Shield not
necessary.
From the first VC3xxxX to all other slave VC3xxxX Relay Pack(s)
Uses existing or new field wires
A minimum of 2 wires are required 14-22 Ga Solid or Stranded. Shield not
necessary.
Connect only wires #1 Power Common and #2 Tx/Rx Communication

CONFIGURING AND STATUS DISPLAY INSTRUCTIONS
Status display
The VTR73xxA Room Controller features a two-line, eight-character display. There is a
low-level backlight that is always active and can only be seen at night.
When left unattended, the Room Controller has an auto scrolling display that shows the
status of the system. There is an option in the configuration menu to lockout the scrolling
display and to only display the room temperature and conditional outdoor temperature to
the user. With this option enabled, no local status of mode, occupancy and relative
humidity is shown.
Each item scrolls individually with the back lighting in low level mode. Pressing any key
will cause the back light to come on to high level. When left unattended for 10 seconds
after changes are made, the display will resume automatic status display scrolling.
To activate the back light to high level, press any key on the front panel. The back light
display will return to low level when the Room Controller is left unattended for 45 seconds.
