Initialization

On system power-up, the “STAT” LED is extinguished for a few seconds

and then the controller “flashes” its address switch setting. If the address

switch were set to 7, you would see 7 flashes. After the address is fin-

ished, the LED will extinguish for another 5 seconds. At the conclusion

of this 5-second delay, the LED will begin a continuous flashing while

the Damper Feedback limits are calibrated. If the Damper is driving

open, the LED will blink slowly. If the Damper is driving closed, the

LED will blink fast. When the calibration is completed, the normal di-

agnostic flashes will begin. These diagnostic flashes are described in the

Troubleshooting section of this guide. In addition, during the first few

seconds of power-up, all default setpoints are initialized and all outputs

are turned off. There is also a 30 second start-up delay to protect the

fan and other components from short cycling during intermittent power

conditions. If all inputs are operating correctly, the LED will blink once

every ten seconds.

Programming the Controller

The next step is programming the controller for your specific require-

ments. In order to configure and program the Modular VAV/Zone

Controller Actuator Package, you must have a central operator interface

or a personal computer with the Prism computer front end software

installed. Different operator interfaces are available for programming

of the VAV/Zone Controller. You may use the Modular Service Tool,

Modular System Manager, System Manager TS, or a personal computer

with Prism software installed to access the status and setpoints of any

Modular VAV/Zone Controller Actuator Package or VCM-X controller

on the system’s communications loop. See the Modular Service Tool

and System Manager Operator Interface Technical Guide, the System

Manager TS Technical Guide, or the Prism Computer Front-End Techni-

cal Guide for complete VAV/Zone Controller programming information.

No matter which operator interface you use, it is recommended that you

proceed with the programming and setup of the controller in the order

that follows:

1.

Configure The Controller For Your Application.

2.

Program The Controller Setpoints.

3.

Review Controller Status Screens To Verify System

Operation And Correct Controller Configurations
