DISCLAIMERS
• The VTR8300 series Room Controller is only to be used in conjunction with the VC3000 line voltage switching relay pack.
Together they are used as operating controls for high voltage fan coil units.
• If replacing an existing Line Voltage FCU Controller, label the wires before removal of the Room Controller.
• Electronic controls are static sensitive devices. Discharge yourself correctly before manipulating and installing the Room Controller.
A short circuit or wrong wiring may permanently damage the Room Controller or equipment.
• All VTR8300 series Room Controllers 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 switches, thermal protections, and/or an alarm
system to protect the entire system against any catastrophic failures. Tampering with the devices or unintended application of the
devices results in a void of warranty.
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
• These devices are not serviceable and must be returned to the supplier for any repair.
• A switch or circuit breaker must be installed. It must be suitably located, easily reached, and marked as the disconnecting device
• This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.

2. Read the FCC ID and IC label installed in the cover before installing any
wireless product.
3. Ensure the correct side of the base faces up.
4. Pull the cables 6 in (15 cm) out from the wall.
5. Align the base and mark location of the two mounting holes on the
wall(Figure2).
6. Install the anchors in the wall.
7. Insert the cable in the central hole of the base.
8. Insert the screws in the mounting holes on each side of the base.
9. Strip each wire 1/4 in (0.6 cm) from the end.
10. Insert each wire according to the wiring chart (see next page).
11. Gently push excess wiring back into the hole.
12. Gently align the cover with the top of the base and snap into place from the

TERMINAL, IDENTIFICATION AND FUNCTION
Only ONE VC3xxxE Relay Pack with remote
monitoring inputs can be used under a single
VTR83xxA Controller. All other slave units must be
VC3xxxE Relay Pack(s) WITHOUT remote inputs. A
maximum of 10 VC3xxxE Relay Packs can be used
for a single VTR83xxA Room Controller.
From VTR83xxA to first VC3xxxE Relay Pack
• Uses existing or new field wires
• A minimum of 3 wires are required
• Solid or Stranded, Shield is not necessary
• Distance between the two units must not exceed
15 m (49 ft)
• Wire gauge depends on available distance:
<= 10 m (33 ft): AWG 16-18 (1.31 - 0.823 mm²)
> 10 m (33 ft): AWG 16 (1.31 mm²)
From first VC3xxxE to all other slave
VC3xxxE Relay Pack(s)
• Uses existing or new field wires
• 2 required wires AWG 16-18 (1.31 - 0.823 mm²):
Tx/Rx (1)
Power Common (3)
• Solid or Stranded, Shield is not necessary
