Commissioning and parameterization
Parameterization of the VAV application
The OEM generally provides the basic configuration to VAV Compact Controllers, especially
the parameter Vn and the opening direction. The setting of all other parameters depends on
the actual application and can be obtained from the ventilation planner or similar.
The following parameters must be checked or set prior to commissioning:

Interpretation of setpoint
VAV = setpoint controls volume flow [%]

Operating mode “Volume flow control”
Variable air volume (VAV) control
The operating point is determined by the setpoint value and the Vmin / Vmax settings.
1 Setpoint range
2 Actual value range
3 Controlled area
Constant air volume (VAV) control
A constant air volume flow can be achieved by sending a constant setpoint value or by set-
ting Vmin = Vmax.
Operating mode “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”.
