Operating modes 
Volume flow control (VAV or CAV) 
Variable air volume (VAV) control: the operating point is determined by the setpoint value 
and the Vmin / Vmax settings (cf. diagram below). Constant air volume (CAV) control is 
achieved by sending a constant setpoint or by setting Vmin = Vmax. 
1  Setpoint range 
2  Actual value range 
3  Controlled area 
Position control 
The VAV compact controllers can be operated as damper actuators, i.e. using the 0..100% 
setpoint as position damper setpoint, by setting the operating mode parameter to “POS”. 
Commissioning and parameterization 
Parameterization of the VAV application 
VAV application parameters are set by the OEM over the PPS2 interface (using ACS931 or 
AST20). Some of them can be adjusted during commissioning, operation, or maintenance 
and are accessible over a bus connection alternatively.
