The VAV1717 and VAV1732 controllers are designed for Variable Air Volume (VAV) applications. These controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet® MS/TP bus as BACnet Application Specific Controllers (BASCs).
These controllers feature 10 preloaded standard applications that operate standard VAV box equipment with a proven energy-efficient sequence of operation, without the need for programming. However, the controllers are also fully programmable using the Controller Configuration Tool (CCT), which provides the flexibility to create custom control sequences.
These controllers feature a combination of an integral digital differential pressure transducer (DPT), a damper actuator, and a 32-bit microprocessor. The small package size of the controllers facilitates quick field installation and efficient use of space without compromising hightech control performance. The controllers connect easily to sensors for zone air temperature sensing.
A wide variety of network sensor models are available to measure and display zone temperature, occupancy detection, zone humidity, and CO2level.
The VAV1717 and VAV1732 controllers can communicate using BACnet MS/TP, N2, or wireless Zigbee®. The default communications protocol for all new controllers is BACnet MS/TP.
You can use the VAV1717 and VAV1732 controllers as functional replacements for the following controllers:
• VMA1617 and VMA1632 • PCV1617 and PCV1632
• Legacy N2 controllers
These N2-capable MS/TP equipment controller models provide a cost-effective upgrade and modernization path for customers with existing N2 controllers.
