Wiring specifications
The VVT Zone Controller requires a temperature sensor installed in the supply air stream. The Supply Air
Temperature (SAT) sensor is used when the zone controller is equipped with ducted heating.
Wiring specifications
The Duct Air Temperature Sensor (DAT) monitors the supply air temperature and is required for cooling and
heating air source applications on non-Carrier dampers and for stand-alone operation without ducted reheat.
Wiring specifications
A CO2 sensor monitors carbon dioxide levels. As CO2 levels increase, the VVT Zone Controller adjusts the
outside air dampers to increase ventilation and improve indoor air quality. A CO2 sensor can be wall-mounted
or mounted in a return air duct. (Duct installation requires an Aspirator Box Accessory - Part #33ZCASPCO2.)
The sensor has a range of 0–2000 ppm and a linear 4-20 mA output. This is converted to 1-5 Vdc by a 250
Ohm, 1/4 watt, 2% tolerance resistor connected across the zone controller's CO2 input terminals.
NOTE Do not use a relative humidity sensor and CO2 sensor on the same zone controller.

Wiring specifications
Disconnect electrical power to the VVT Zone Controller before wiring it. Failure to follow this warning could
cause electrical shock, personal injury, or damage to the controller.
Wiring specifications
To size output wiring, consider the following:
• Total loop distance from the power supply to the controller, and then to the controlled device
NOTE Include the total distance of actual wire. For 2-conductor wires, this is twice the cable length.
• Acceptable voltage drop in the wire from the controller to the controlled device
• Resistance (Ohms) of the chosen wire gauge
• Maximum current (Amps) the controlled device requires to operate
High-torque actuators
You can wire one of the following Belimo actuators to the VVT Zone Controller's analog output instead of using
the controller's built-in, 35 in.-lb actuator.
NMX24-MFT P-10028 90 in.-lb actuator with 0–10 Vdc control and 0–10 Vdc feedback
AMX24-MFT P-10028 180 in.-lb actuator with 0–10 Vdc control and 0–10 Vdc feedback
NOTE For proper operation and to prevent damage to the devices, use the same polarity for the actuator's
power and the VVT Zone Controller's power.
Linked actuators
You can wire up to 4 of the following Belimo actuators to the VVT Zone Controller's analog output. Use like
actuators so that travel times and other parameters coincide.
NOTE Maintain polarity if using the same power supply for more than one actuator.
Start-up
To start up the VVT Zone Controller, you need one of the following user interfaces to the controller. These
items let you access the controller information, read sensor values, and test the controller.
See Appendix A (page 46) for a complete list of the controller's points/properties.

Linkage is not active, the zone determines vent mode by verifying that its SAT R: 0 to 100%
sensor is between 65°F and 80°F.
Linkage properties
The i-Vu 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, zone controllers, and bypass controller are
linked so that their data exchange can be managed by one zone controller configured as the VVT Master. The
system can have a maximum of 31 zone controllers (VVT Master and slave controllers).
The linked controllers must be sequentially addressed. The VVT Master must have the highest address, the
bypass controller the next lower address, and then the slave zone controllers.
To set up linkage, you must define the properties below only for the VVT Master controller. If you are
configuring a slave controller, do not change any Linkage settings as the defaults are for a slave.
After you define the properties, the VVT Master immediately begins to send zone data to the air source and
receive information from the air source.
Address D: 0
R: 0 to 127
Linkage Zone Type – Determines if the controller is the VVT master or a slave. D: Slave
NOTE VAV Master is not used for VVT systems. R: Slave
VVT Master
VAV Master
Linkage Callers – The minimum number of zones required to make the air source go D: 1
into heating or cooling mode. 1 is typical for systems with 8 zones or less. For larger
systems, increase the number by 1 for each 6 zones. For example, 3 linkage callers R: 1 to 64
for a 20 zone system.
Before starting the air source fan, make sure the zone terminal dampers are not closed. Starting the fan
with dampers closed will damage the system ductwork.
CAUTION Pressing the actuator release button and moving the damper or disconnecting the actuator ribbon
connector while the bypass controller is powered will cause the damper position to be out of calibration. To
recalibrate the damper position, you must perform steps 1a–1c above or power cycle the controller.
6 Disable the air source heating and cooling outputs using one of the following methods:
○ Physically disconnect the air source controller’s output wiring to the unit, then enable the fan.
○ In the i-Vu or Field Assistant tree, select the RTU Open or WSHP Open controller. Go to Properties >
Configuration > Service Configuration > Service Test and enable Service Test and Fan Test. Make
sure all other outputs are disabled.
CAUTION You must complete steps 4 and 5 to prevent loss of temperature control to the space and to
maintain normal operation of the system.
Sequence of operation
The VVT Zone Controller supports 3 types of pressure-dependent terminal configurations:
• Single duct
• Series fan-powered
• Parallel fan-powered
The controller can operate as part of a linked VVT system or as a stand-alone controller.
Temperature sensors
The VVT Zone Controller supports the following temperature sensors:
Sensors Notes
Space temperature sensors:
• SPT Standard, Plus, or Pro You can average up to 5 SPT communicating sensors.
See the Carrier Sensors Installation Guide for details on these sensors.
linkage communication fails, the mode is determined by the controller's SAT. See Air source mode
determination (page 42). If the air source mode is the same as the zone’s local mode, the damper is
positioned between the mode’s configurable minimum and maximum damper position. If not, the damper is
positioned at the mode's minimum damper position to insure sufficient minimum airflow at the air source.
When the air source mode is Vent and the zone’s temperature demand is satisfied, the damper moves to its
Vent Position to increase airflow and ventilation to the space.
Single duct with reheat – The Reheat Min Damper Position allows an increase of primary airflow across the
terminal’s ducted heating coil when the terminal is operating its local heat while the air source mode is Cool.
This provides the ability to lower the cooling minimum airflow limits while providing the necessary airflow
when the terminal is heating to ensure design load conditions and electric heater minimum airflow.
Parallel fan terminals – The controller's Parallel Fan On Value determines when the fan turns on to increase
airflow at the zone’s diffusers and prevent cold air from dumping into the zone when the system mode is Cool.
This is achieved by increasing the volume and temperature of the air exiting the diffusers. Should the zone’s
damper close below the Parallel Fan On Value, the parallel fan is energized to mix ceiling plenum air with the
primary air to increase total airflow and ventilation to the zone. The fan turns off when the damper position
opens to 1% above the setpoint.
The fan also starts in Heat mode if the zone is configured for ducted heat as described in Zone reheat control
(page 37).
Series fan terminals – The fan energizes when the air source fan is on if the zone controller is part of a linked
system or in the unoccupied heat mode and the equipment fan is off. If the zone controller is stand-alone, the
fan runs continuously. Before the fan starts, the damper closes. The damper position must be less than 5%
for 10 seconds before the fan starts to prevent the fan from starting backwards.
See Appendix B: VVT terminal modes (page 61).
Damper Actuator(s) – The VVT Zone Controller's built-in 35 in/lb actuator has a 205 second full travel time
for 90° operation. For field retrofit applications, the actuator can be adjusted for a damper stroke between
30° and 90°, and it can be configured to move clockwise (default) or counterclockwise.
If the built-in actuator's torque is insufficient for large damper applications, the VVT Zone Controller's analog
output can drive an external, 0-10 volt, high-torque actuator. Or, the controller can drive one or more
additional slave actuators. A slave actuator must be mounted and configured to fully close the damper when
the output signal is 0 volts. See Wiring field-supplied actuators to the analog output. (page 25)
Modulating Hot Water / Steam Heating Heat – The controller modulates a normally closed or normally open
hot water or steam valve connected to the discharge air heating coil. The valve opens and closes as needed
to meet heating requirements. For ducted heat, the terminal’s heat supplements heat from the primary air
source if it is in heating mode and is controlled so that the SAT does not exceed the Maximum Heating SAT
(105°F default). For baseboard heating (non-ducted heat), the valve modulates to keep the zone’s
temperature at the heating setpoint.
Two-Position Hot Water / Steam Heating Heat – The controller operates a normally closed or normally open
hot water or steam valve connected to the discharge air heating coil. The valve opens and closes as needed
to meet heating requirements. For ducted heat, the terminal’s heat supplements heat from the primary air
source if it is in the heating mode and is controlled so that the SAT does not exceed the Maximum Heating
SAT (105°F default). For non-ducted (baseboard) heating, the valve is controlled to keep the zone’s
temperature at the heating setpoint.
Electric Auxiliary Heat – The controller operates 1 or 2 stages of electric heat. For ducted heat, the terminal’s
heat supplements heat from the primary air source if it is in the heating mode and is controlled so that the
SAT does not exceed the Maximum Heating SAT (105°F default). For non-ducted (baseboard) electric heat,
the stages are controlled as needed to keep the zone’s temperature at the heating setpoint.
Combination Modulating Baseboard / Electric Heat – The controller can modulate a normally closed or
normally open hot water or steam valve connected to a perimeter baseboard radiation system and control up
to 2 stages of ducted electric heat. The valve modulates as needed to meet heating requirements. If the valve
cannot meet the load, electric heat is used. The terminal’s electric heater supplements heat from the primary
air source if it is in heating mode and is controlled so that the SAT does not exceed the Maximum Heating
SAT (105°F default).
Parallel Fan Heat On Delay – For Parallel Fan terminals only, the controller has a configurable Parallel Fan
Heat On Delay to save energy. During the delay (15 minute default), only the fan operates to recycle heat
from the ceiling plenum. If the heating requirement is not met by the end of the delay, reheat is enabled.
Fan Heat Off Delay – For fan-powered terminals, the controller has a configurable Fan Off Delay. After the
heating coil de-energizes, the fan continues to run for the length of the delay to deliver to the zone any heat
stored in the coil. The default delay of 2 minutes is optimal for ducted hot water coils. For ducted electric heat
coils, the nominal delay is approximately 1 minute. For baseboard and non-ducted heat, the delay should be
set at 0.
This feature applies to parallel fan terminals in both occupied and unoccupied mode and series fan terminals
in the unoccupied mode if the air source fan is off.
and the air source is in cooling or ventilation mode, the controller increases airflow to the zone at a base rate
defined by ASHRAE, and then proportionally increases ventilation if the CO2 level continues to increase. If the
sensor's value exceeds the DCV Max Ctrl Setpoint, the controller modulates the damper to its DCV Max Vent
Damper Position.
When the zone is unoccupied, the Cooling Min Damper Position and Heating Min Damper Position provide
base ventilation.
If the controller is configured for reheat, the heating setpoint is temporarily increased to a value halfway
between the heating and cooling setpoints. If the zone temperature drops below the heating setpoint, the DCV
override is temporarily suspended and the damper returns to normal control until the zone temperature is
satisfied.
Occupancy
The VVT Zone Controller's operation depends on the zone's occupancy state as determined by occupancy
schedules or a remote occupancy override.
Remote Occupancy Override – The controller monitors its Remote input that is typically connected to the
isolated, dry contact of an occupancy sensor located in the zone. The controller can override the occupancy
state based on whether or not the space is actually occupied. If the occupancy sensor contact is in the same
state as Occ Override Normal Logic State setting, the zone follows its normal occupancy schedule. If the
contact is in the opposite state, it overrides the zone into the unoccupied mode. The input can be configured
for normally closed or normally opened contact types and is set to Open by default so that it does not affect
the controller occupancy operation if left unused.
Optimal Start – This function gradually adjusts the unoccupied setpoints over a specified period of time to
achieve the occupied setpoint by the time scheduled occupancy begins. This learning adaptive algorithm uses
Heating Capacity and Cooling Capacity to calculate the effective setpoints prior to the occupied start time.
The algorithm will calculate a learned cooling and heating capacity during the previous unoccupied time for
display purpose only but will not actually use them in the calculation. These values must be manually entered
into the Heating Capacity and Cooling Capacity. The Optimal Start adjustment period can be set from 1 to 4
hours, or set to 0 to disable this function.
Alarms
Space Temp Sensor Alarm – The VVT Zone Controller monitors each space temperature sensor and the
network input for space temperature. If no valid space temperature value is available, the controller
generates an alarm and disables all local heating or cooling. The controller modulates the damper to the
minimum heat, minimum cool, or ventilation position based on the air source mode. Normal operation
resumes when the controller detects a valid sensor value.
Space Temperature Alarm – The controller generates an alarm if the space temperature exceeds the alarm
setpoint. The occupied alarm setpoint is the configurable Occupied Alarm Hysteresis (5°F default) subtracted
from and added to the configured occupied heat and cool setpoints. The configurable unoccupied high and
low alarm setpoints have a fixed 10 minute alarm delay. When a transition from unoccupied to occupied
occurs or the occupied temperature setpoints are changed causing an alarm condition, the controller
automatically calculates an alarm delay of 10 minutes for each degree of change. The delay prevents
unnecessary alarms and gives the zone time to correct the alarm condition. The alarm returns to normal
when the space temperature goes between the current mode’s setpoints.
Supply Air Temperature Alarm – The controller generates an alarm if the SAT exceeds the configured High
SAT Alarm Limit (120°F default) or falls below the Low SAT Alarm Limit (45°F default) for more than 5
minutes. The hysteresis for return to normal is 1°F.
Space Relative Humidity Alarm – If a Space Relative Humidity (RH) sensor is installed, the controller
generates an alarm if the sensor's value exceeds the Occ High RH Alarm Limit (100% rh default) or the Unocc
High RH Alarm Limit (100% rh default). The controller provides a 30-minute alarm delay during unoccupied
periods. During occupied periods, the controller uses the Occ High RH Alarm Limit. When a transition from
unoccupied to occupied occurs or the occupied high alarm limit is lowered causing an alarm condition to
occur, the controller automatically calculates an alarm delay of 5 minutes per %RH multiplied by the amount
of the change. The delay prevents unnecessary alarms and gives the zone time to correct the alarm condition.
The hysteresis for return to normal is 3% RH.
Indoor Air Quality Alarm – If a CO2 sensor is installed, the controller generates an alarm during occupied
periods if the sensor's value exceeds the Occupied High CO2 Alarm Limit. When a transition from unoccupied
to occupied occurs, or if the occupied alarm limit is changed to a value that causes an alarm condition to
occur, the controller automatically calculates an alarm delay based on the error from setpoint (15 minutes
minimum, 4 hours maximum). The delay prevents unnecessary alarms and gives the zone time to correct the
alarm condition. To disable the IAQ alarm, set Occupied High CO2 Alarm Limit to 0. The default value is
1100ppm. The hysteresis for return to normal is 100ppm.
Filter Alarm – For series or parallel fan-powered terminals, the controller monitors the accumulated hours of
fan operation and generates an alarm when the Filter Runtime hours exceed the configured Filter Service
Alarm Timer limit. The default value is 0 hours which disables the alarm. The alarm can be reset by setting
Reset Filter Alarm to On or resetting the configured alarm limit to 0 hours.
Airside Linkage Alarm – The slave zone controller generates an alarm if it does not receive linkage
information for 5 minutes. If the controller is the VVT Master, it generates an alarm if it does not communicate
with its air source for 5 minutes. A return-to-normal is generated after successful Linkage communication
resumes.
Demand limiting
Demand limiting is a cost-saving strategy to reduce energy consumption. The strategy expands the setpoints
when the system reaches one of 3 levels of consumption. With the expanded setpoints, the equipment works
less, thereby saving energy.
If the VVT Zone Controller receives a demand limit signal through the network, it expands its setpoints based
on the demand level. The default amount is 1°F for demand level 1, 2°F for demand level 2, or 4°F for
demand level 3.
Linkage
The i-Vu 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, zone controllers, and bypass controller are
linked so that their data exchange can be managed by one zone controller configured as the VVT Master.
The VVT Master gathers the following information from the slave zone controllers: occupancy status,
setpoints, zone temperature, relative humidity, CO2 level, damper position, and optimal start data. The VVT
Master performs mathematical calculations and algorithms on the data and then sends the composite
information to the air source. The VVT Master receives information from the air source such as mode, supply
air temperature, and outside air temperature, and passes that information to all linked controllers.
The VVT Master determines system operation by prioritizing heating and cooling requirements from all the
zones based on their occupancy, demand, and damper size. The VVT Master scans the system continuously
to determine if any zones are occupied. Occupied zones are a higher priority than unoccupied zones. The VVT
Master evaluates all the occupied zones' heating or cooling demands and sends a request to the air source
for:
• Cooling, if the number of occupied zones with cooling demands exceeds the number of occupied zones
with heating demands, and the demand is greater than or equal to the number of configured Linkage
Callers.
• Heating, if the number of occupied zones with a heating demand exceeds or is equal to the number of
Linkage Callers.
If no zones are occupied or no occupied zones require heating or cooling, the VVT Master performs the
evaluation described above for the unoccupied zones.
The VVT Master then gathers the following information and sends it to the air source:
• The system mode
• The setpoints and zone temperature from the zone with the greatest demand for the requested air
source mode (heating or cooling). (This zone is called the reference zone.)
• The system occupancy status
• Most open damper position from any zone
• RH and CO2 values (if applicable)
The air source responds by sending the air source mode, supply air temperature, and outside air temperature.
The air source verifies the mode by comparing its supply air temperature to the space temperature received
through Linkage. See the air source documentation for operation and parameters used to verify its mode.
This verification allows the VVT system to determine if the desired air source mode is actually being provided.
For example, if the VVT Master sends a request for heating and the air source does not have heat or it’s heat
has failed, the air source's actual mode indicates that and it's current mode is sent to the zones so that they
can control accordingly.
The system remains in that mode until all zones of that demand are satisfied or until a fixed 30 minute mode
reselect timer causes a forced re-evaluation of the system. If there is no demand for the opposite mode, the
reselect timer starts again and the current mode continues until all zones are satisfied or until the reselect
timer expires, repeating the process. If there is a demand for the opposite mode, the VVT Master sends the
reference zone's space temperature and setpoints to the air source and restarts the reselect timer. The air
source re-evaluates its demand based on the new information and goes to the Vent mode until the new mode
can be verified as described above. The amount of time this takes is determined by the air source’s operating
parameters.
The VVT Master continuously evaluates the system and updates the air source with the most current system
demand. Based on the evaluation, the reference zone can change from one zone to another. The evaluation
process continues until there is no demand from any zone or the 30 minute timer causes a re-evaluation of
the system conditions.
If no heating or cooling is required or the current air source mode is satisfied, the VVT Master calculates the
weighted average of the occupied and unoccupied heating and cooling setpoints. It also calculates a zone
temperature that is midway between the setpoints (occupied or unoccupied based on the system’s current
occupancy status). This information, plus the occupancy status, is sent to the air source so that its current
mode is disabled and the unit ceases heating or cooling operation. If the system is occupied, the air source
fan and OA damper, if applicable, operate to maintain proper ventilation.
Local air source modes – If the zone controller is stand-alone or if linkage communication fails, the zone
controller monitors its SAT sensor to determine if the primary air source is providing heating, cooling, or
recirculating air in a fan-only or ventilation mode.
• HEAT – For Series or Parallel Fan controllers when the zone terminal fan is off or for single duct
controllers: The zone’s local heat has not operated for at least 5 minutes, and the SAT is more than 5°F
warmer than the space temperature. If the terminal fan is on, the SAT must be at least 8°F more than
the space temperature.
In all cases, Heat mode is maintained until the SAT drops 2°F below the space temperature.
• VENT – The zone’s local heat has not operated for at least 5 minutes and the SAT is between 65 and
80°F.
• COOL – The zone’s local heat has not operated for at least 5 minutes, the current mode is not Heat or
Vent, and the SAT is less than 65°F.

Occupied Setpoints
The occupied setpoints described below are the setpoints under normal operating conditions. The Demand Level 1–3
setpoints apply if demand limiting is used.
Demand limiting is a cost-saving strategy to reduce energy consumption. The strategy expands the occupied heating and
cooling setpoints when the system reaches one of 3 levels of consumption. With the expanded setpoints, the equipment
works less, thereby saving energy. By default, Demand Level 1 expands the occupied heating and cooling setpoints by 1°F,
Demand Level 2 by 2°F, and Demand Level 3 by 4°F. If the occupied heating or cooling setpoints change, the (effective)
demand level setpoints automatically change by the same amount. See Sequence of Operation (page 36) for more
information.
