Before You Begin
Loss of Control
WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
• The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for certain critical
control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure. Examples of critical control
functions are emergency stop and over travel stop.
• Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
• System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the implications of anticipated
transmission delays or failures of the link.1
• Each implementation of equipment utilizing communication links must be individually and thoroughly tested for proper
operation before being placed into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
1 For additional information about anticipated transmission delays or failures of the link, refer to NEMA ICS 1.1 (latest edition), Safety Guidelines
for the Application , Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control or its equivalent

Installation
NOTICE
INSTALLATION
• The VTR8350 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.
• The system must be installed correctly by a qualied technician.
• If replacing an existing Room Controller, label wires before removal of Controller.
• Electronic controls are static sensitive devices. Discharge yourself correctly before manipulating and installing Room
Controller.
• A short circuit or wrong wiring may permanently damage Room Controller or equipment.
• All Room Controllers are designed for use as operating controls only and are not safety devices. These instruments have
undergone rigorous tests and verication prior to shipping to ensure proper and reliable operation in the eld. 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, ow 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 will result in a void of warranty.
• If the equipment is used in a manner not specied 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.
• This device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 8in (20cm) from all persons and must not be
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
• Refer to the Room Controller User Interface Guide for information on how to congure the Room Controller.

• 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 the first VC3000 Relay Pack to all
other VC3000 Relay Packs:
• Uses existing or new field wires.
• 2 required wires AWG 16-18 (1.31 - 0.823
mm²):
▪Tx/Rx (1)
▪Power Common (3)

VTR8350 [ Installation Guide ]
APPENDIX A. DEPLOYMENT
Placement of the Room Controller must be given consideration. It is recommended to install the Room Controller as close to a
door as possible (but not so as to be blocked by the door), or in an area with high occupant movement.
Ideally the Room Controller should be installed 5 feet (1.5 meters) above the oor surface to ensure maximum detection range is
achieved. As well, Room Controller placement should ensure the occupant crosses the lens beam in a perpendicular path within
the prescribed detection zone.
A.1 EXAMPLE OF RECOMMENDED DEPLOYMENT
The below shows Room Controllers installed in ideal locations for two rooms.
The examination room shows one Room Controller installed adjacent to the door. In this area of the room, occupant trafc is high
and ensures the occupant will almost always cross the PIR detection path laterally and within the detection range.
The waiting room shows one Room Controller installed beside a door in the middle of the room. As shown in the diagram below,
occupant trafc is high in several areas of the room including the entrance, waiting room, access to the door and activity around
the reception desk. Moreover, for each case aforementioned, occupant movement almost always moves lateral to the PIR, which
ensures detection by the PIR, as well as respecting the PIR detection range of 20 feet (6 meters) at 140°, and 16 feet (5 meters)
between 15° to 30° laterally.
Recommended Installation

12 VTR8350 [ Installation Guide ]
A.2 EXAMPLE OF NON-RECOMMENDED DEPLOYMENT
The below shows four Room Controllers (two for each room) installed in non-ideal locations for the two rooms.
The examination room shows one Room Controller installed in a low trafc area near the door, and a second Room Controller
installed on the wall directly opposite the door. For the Room Controller installed in the corner wall, the PIR could be blocked by
the opened door, while occupant trafc cold also be minimal in this area of the room. For the second Room Controller installed
opposite the door, the PIR detection could fall outside the specied detection zone, while at the same time most occupant
movement would be not be lateral to the PIR, thereby not respecting optimal crossing patterns for PIR detection.
The waiting room shows one Room Controller installed in the corner of the room, and a second Room Controller installed beside
the reception area. For the Room Controller installed in the corner, the opening/closing of the door creates high probability that
the PIR would get blocked, and therefore, occupancy going undetected. For the Room Controller installed beside the reception
area, occupant trafc could fall outside the detection zone, and the receptionist would often be below the 5 foot recommended
installation height for the Room Controller.

A.3 ROOM CONTROLLER PIR SENSOR DETAILS
The internal Room Controller PIR sensor only detect lateral movement. It cannot detect movement when a person is moving
toward it. It will not detect someone seating on a chair and/or lying on the bed.

A.4 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATIONS
1. Install the Room Controller to cover more lateral movement.
2. Install a door sensor, the internal Room Controller occupancy logic works better with a door sensor. Once a motion is detected
after a door is opened, the room stays in occupied state until the door is opened again which put the Room Controller in
stand-by mode and if there is a motion then it goes back in occupied mode. It is also recommended to disable the unoccupied
mode, set the unoccupied time to 0, so there is only 2 modes in the Room Controller: stand-by and occupied for a stand-alone
solution. Please refer to the two(2) diagrams below for the Room Controller internal occupancy states transition.
