SimplyVAV Section 6: A p p l i c at i o n d r aw i n g s This section covers the drawings, materials, and instructions for specific VAV applications. Each SimplyVAV model is designed for a specific set of applications. The following topics are for control technicians and engineers that will plan for and install controllers for SimplyVAV applications. Submittal sheets for all of these applications are available from the Resources page at www.SimplyVAV.com.
Section 6: Application drawings Cooling or heating without reheat SimplyVAV The BAC-8001 is configured for single-duct cooling VAV control without reheat. Connect the controller as shown in the illustration Cooling or heating application drawing on page 50. A BAC-8005 or BAC-8205 may also be used for this application. For cooling and heating, a duct temperature sensor is required for Discharge Air Temperature limiting and automatic changeover.
SimplyVAV Section 6: Application drawings Staged reheat This application is for BAC-8005 or BAC-8205 controllers. The controllers are configured to switch reheat units that are controlled with 24 volts AC. Reheat units with up to three stages of reheat can be controlled by these controllers. For one-stage or electric reheat or hot water reheat with an on/off valve, use only output terminal BO6. For two-stage reheat use output terminals BO6 and BO7.
Section 6: Application drawings Modulating reheat SimplyVAV This application is for a BAC-8005 or BAC-8205 controller. The modulating option for reheat can control either an electric reheat unit with an analog input or a modulating hot water valve. The analog reheat output at output terminal AO3 varies between 0 and 10 volts DC. For cooling and heating, a duct temperature sensor is required for Discharge Air Temperature limiting and automatic changeover.
SimplyVAV Section 6: Application drawings Time proportional reheat This application is for a BAC-8005 or BAC-8205 controller. The time proportional reheat option is typically used in hydronic systems with a hot water reheat coil and a wax top control valve.The reheat output is a triac that can switch up to 1 ampere at 24 volts AC. For cooling and heating, a duct temperature sensor is required for Discharge Air Temperature limiting and automatic changeover.
Section 6: Application drawings Floating reheat SimplyVAV This application is for a BAC-8005 or BAC-8205 controller. Use the floating reheat option in hydronic systems that are controlled by an actuator with tristate inputs. The reheat outputs are triacs that can switch up to 1 ampere at 24 volts AC. For cooling and heating, a duct temperature sensor is required for Discharge Air Temperature limiting and automatic changeover.
SimplyVAV Dual-duct application Section 6: Application drawings This application is for a BAC-8007 controller. The controller is configured for dual-duct operation. Dual-duct VAV requires a TSP-8001 actuator to be used with the BC-8007 as shown in the illustration Dual-duct wiring diagram on page 55. Submittal sheets for several variations of this application are available from the Resources page at www.SimplyVAV.com.
Section 6: Application drawings 56 SimplyVAV Revision E
SimplyVAV Section 7: Se q u e n c e s o f o p e r at i o n Topics in this section cover the sequences of operation for the SimplyVAV controllers. These are advanced topics for control technicians and engineers. These sequences of operation are descriptions of each major component of the SimplyVAV programming. They are provided as an aid to understanding on how the controllers operate. This section covers the following sequences of operation.
Section 7: Sequences of operation Input sources SimplyVAV The SimplyVAV controllers require specific sensors to measure room temperature, airflow, and discharge air temperature. All sensors are automatically detected and the programming is automatically set up for the sensors.
SimplyVAV Section 7: Sequences of operation along with the K-factor of the VAV terminal unit are used to calculate the airflow through the VAV unit. Occupancy sequence A SimplyVAV controller is designed to operate as a stand-alone controller and determine occupancy based only on the availability of primary airflow and motion in the zone. The controller can be in any one of the following occupancy states.
Section 7: Sequences of operation SimplyVAV defined as two movements detected within 5 minutes. The controller will change back to Standby after a lack a lack of motion for the period specified by the variable Standby Time. Standby mode is not valid for controllers without a motion sensor, unless commanded by a building management system. Space setpoints There are four temperature setpoints each for heating and cooling for a total of eight setpoints.
SimplyVAV Section 7: Sequences of operation Standby setpoint—The standby setpoint is used when the controller is in the standby state. It is a value calculated from the occupied setpoint and the value of Standby Offset. The standby offset value is entered by the controls technician during controller setup and system commissioning. See the topic Occupancy sequence on page 59.
Section 7: Sequences of operation SimplyVAV If there is a call for reheat to maintain room temperature, the primary airflow is set to the value of Auxiliary Flow. Warm Air Available In the heating mode, as the Heating Loop increases from 0% to 100%, Primary Airflow Setpoint is proportionally calculated between Minimum Heating Airflow and Maximum Heating Airflow. See also the topics, Changeover on page 62 and Input sources on page 58.
SimplyVAV Section 7: Sequences of operation Illustration 7–1 DAT limiting operation ROOM TMP+15° (Max 90°F) DAT loop ROOM TMP 100% 50% HTG SPAN 0% HTG SP If DAT Limiting is enabled, and a DAT sensor is not connected, the controller will lockout reheat control only in the cooling mode. The unit will operate this way until a DAT sensor is detected or until the unit is commanded to control to the Active Heating Setpoint by a supervisory BMS.
Section 7: Sequences of operation System diagnostics SimplyVAV The controller programming includes four system diagnostic indicators in the form of BACnet value objects. Need for higher static pressure Need for cooler supply air Need for warmer supply air Need AHU start These diagnostic indicators or flags are monitored by other BACnet devices connected to the same building automation system as the controller. How the indicators are used is beyond the scope of these instructions.
SimplyVAV Section 7: Sequences of operation Damper operation Damper movement is determined by comparing the actual airflow reading to the airflow setpoints. If the actual airflow is within 5% of the setpoint, no damper action is initiated. Once within the 5% deadband, the actual airflow must be outside a 7% deadband before damper position changes. Fan operation The SimplyVAV controllers support both series and parallel fan powered VAV units.
Section 7: Sequences of operation SimplyVAV Parallel Fan If the controller is configured for a parallel fan, any time the Occupancy mode of the controller is set to either Occupied or Standby and there is a call for heat, the fan runs continuously. The fan starts when the Heating loop is greater than 5% and stops when the Heating loop is less than 1%. When the unit Occupancy state is Unoccupied, the fan starts and runs at minimum speed only on a call for heating.
SimplyVAV Section 7: Sequences of operation reheat, the reheat output is modulated over the span of the Reheat loop. If the Reheat loop is less than 10%, the reheat output remains at zero. The reheat is set to zero if the Cooling loop is active. See the topic Modulating reheat on page 52 for an application drawing.
Section 7: Sequences of operation SimplyVAV loop is at 50%, the reheat output is On for 5 seconds and Off for 5 seconds. If the Reheat loop is less than 10%, the reheat output remains at zero. See the topic Time proportional reheat on page 53 for an application drawing.
SimplyVAV Balancing airflow sequence Section 7: Sequences of operation Balancing airflow is the process of calibrating the internal airflow sensor to a known standard. In the field, airflow is measured with an airflow hood or other measuring instrument and then compared to the airflow measurements from the sensor in the controller. The balancing process uses an STE-8001 or STE-8201 as the technicians setup tool for initiating the balancing sequence and entering actual flow measurements.
Section 7: Sequences of operation SimplyVAV Illustration 7–7 Dual duct sequence Airflow increase Max.
SimplyVAV Section 8: Sy s t e m i n t e g r at i o n an d n e t w o r ki n g Topics in this section cover integrating the controllers into a building automation network. These are advanced reference topics for control technicians and engineers. The controllers can be installed as standalone controllers or they can be connected to a BACnet MS/TP network.
Section 8: System integration and networking Connecting to an MS/TP network SimplyVAV SimplyVAV controllers are BACnet MS/TP compliant controllers. Connect them only to a BACnet MS/TP network. To enter the BACnet device instance, MAC address, and network baud, see the topic Setting up network communications on page 75.
SimplyVAV Section 8: System integration and networking Connect no more than 128 addressable BACnet devices to one MS/TP network. The devices can be any mix of controllers or routers. To prevent network traffic bottlenecks, limit the MS/TP network size to 60 controllers. Use twisted pair, shielded cable with capacitance of no more than 51 picofarads per foot for all network wiring. Belden cable model #82760 meets the cable requirements. Connect the -A terminal in parallel with all other - terminals.
