The VVT Zone II (#OPN-VVTZC-02), a component of the i-Vu® Control System, controls zone temperature in single
duct, fan powered, Variable Volume and Temperature (VVT
The VVT Zone II is available in both English or Metric units. The metric version has (-M) appended to the
part number. Everything in this document applies to both versions.
The VVT Zone II with actuator maintains zone temperature by operating the terminal fan and regulating the flow of
conditioned air into the space. Buildings with diverse loading conditions can be supported by controlling the air
source heating and cooling sources or supplemental heat. The VVT Zone II provides dedicated control functions for
single duct and fan box terminals with modulating heat, up to 3 stages of ducted heat, or combination baseboard
and ducted heat.
The i-Vu Control System uses linkage to exchange data between the zone terminals and their air source to form a
coordinated HVAC system. The system's air source controller, zone controllers, and bypass controller are linked so
that their data exchange can be managed by one zone controller configured as the VVT Master.
You can disconnect the actuator from the controller and mount them separately, connecting them with just the
actuator cable or using an additional extension cable, up to a maximum distance of 300 feet.
The following illustration shows the VVT Zone II in a typical i-Vu® Control System.
This document gives instructions for field-installation of a VVT Zone II in an i-Vu® Control System. However,
VVT Zone IIs are available factory-mounted to Carrier’s round and rectangular dampers. Damper assemblies have
an integrated duct temperature sensor.

Pressing the actuator release button and moving the damper or disconnecting the actuator ribbon
connector while the bypass controller is powered will cause the damper position to be out of calibration. To
recalibrate the damper position, you must perform steps 1a–1c above or power cycle the controller.
Most VVT system airflow designs are based on cooling requirements which require a greater CFM (liters/second)
flow than heating requirements. Using this balancing procedure, you will adjust the cooling airflow first. If the
heating and cooling maximum airflow requirements are the same, you will not need to balance the heating airflow.
We recommend that the heating minimum airflow settings for all the zones in the system be set to maintain
the air source’s design minimum heat CFM (liters/second) airflow across its heat exchanger to prevent damage to
the equipment.
There are two methods of balancing the system:
• Use the i-Vu application or Field Assistant – Complete the following 3 steps to perform the system balancing.
• Use the Test & Balance program – Test & Balance can perform the 3 steps below, including shutting down
the linked air source and performing global commands to all zones in the system. Do items 1–5 in Step 1
below prior to using Test & Balance. See Test & Balance's Help for required steps to complete the balancing
procedure.

The air source fan must have been tested and certified that it can deliver the above requirements.
The sum of the maximum CFM (liters/second) requirements of all zones will generally exceed the air source's
maximum CFM (liters/second) rating by 10 to 20%. This is by design and based on a factor known as diversity. It
works on the basis that under normal design heating and cooling conditions, not every zone will be 100% open.
Knowing this, you will need to force open only zones whose sum CFM (liters/second) is equal to the unit design
CFM (liters/second) . With the bypass damper fully closed (0%) or supply fan VFD at 100%, the bypass controller's
static pressure should be the controlling setpoint.
To set the static pressure:
1 Starting with zone furthest from the air source and working towards it, add up the maximum design CFM
(liters/second) airflow of the zones until the sum equals the air source’s design CFM (liters/second) (+/-5%).

If the zone does not have ducted reheat, install a DAT sensor on the
inlet of the damper.
If the zone has ducted reheat, install an SAT sensor downstream of the
reheat source. The SAT is used in controlling the reheat.
The DAT/SAT determines the air source mode if Linkage
communication fails or if the controller is stand-alone. See Air Source Mode Determination (page 54) for details.

The VVT Zone II provides pressure-dependent zone temperature control by modulating its built-in damper actuator
to control the flow of primary air into the zone. The controller uses PID control to calculate the damper position
based on the difference between the zone’s temperature and setpoints.
The air source mode determines if the primary air can meet the zone’s need. If the zone controller is in a linked
system, the air source mode is determined by the air source. If the zone controller is stand-alone or if linkage
communication fails, the mode is determined by the controller's SAT. See Air source mode determination (page
54). If the air source mode is the same as the zone’s local mode, the damper is positioned between the mode’s
configurable minimum and maximum damper position. If not, the damper is positioned at the mode's minimum
damper position to insure sufficient minimum airflow at the air source.
When the air source mode is Vent and the zone’s temperature demand is satisfied, the damper moves to its
to increase airflow and ventilation to the space.
– The
allows an increase of primary airflow across the
terminal’s ducted heating coil when the terminal is operating its local heat while the air source mode is Cool. This
provides the ability to lower the cooling minimum airflow limits while providing the necessary airflow when the
terminal is heating to ensure design load conditions and electric heater minimum airflow.
– The controller's
determines when the fan turns on to increase
airflow at the zone’s diffusers and prevent cold air from dumping into the zone when the system mode is Cool.
This is achieved by increasing the volume and temperature of the air exiting the diffusers. Should the zone’s
damper close below the
, the parallel fan is energized to mix ceiling plenum air with the
primary air to increase total airflow and ventilation to the zone. The fan turns off when the damper position opens
to 1% above the setpoint.
The fan also starts in Heat mode if the zone is configured for ducted heat as described in Zone reheat control
(page 48).
– The fan energizes when the air source fan is on if the zone controller is part of a linked
system or in the unoccupied heat mode and the equipment fan is off. If the zone controller is stand-alone, the fan
runs continuously. There is a fan start delay on transition to occupied, based on the
the fan starts, the damper closes. The damper position must be less than 5% for 10 seconds before the fan starts
to prevent the fan from starting backwards.
See Appendix B: VVT terminal modes (page 92).
– The VVT Zone II's built-in 35 in/lb (4 Nm) actuator has a 205 second full travel time for 90°
operation. For field retrofit applications, the actuator can be adjusted for a damper stroke between 30° and 90°,
and it can be configured to move clockwise (default) or counterclockwise.
If the built-in actuator's torque is insufficient for large damper applications, the VVT Zone II's analog output can
drive an external, 0-10 volt, high-torque actuator. Or, the controller can drive one or more additional slave
actuators. A slave actuator must be mounted and configured to fully close the damper when the output signal is 0
volts. See Wiring field-supplied actuators to the analog output. (page 37)

The VVT Zone II's operation depends on the zone's occupancy state as determined by occupancy schedules or a
remote occupancy override.
• A local schedule set up directly in the controller using a touchscreen device or Field Assistant.
• A network schedule from an i-Vu internal router. The VVT Zone II must be networked to an i-Vu Open Router or
an i-Vu internal router.
•A System Occupancy network point. This point links the controller occupancy to another controller in the
network so that multiple zones can follow the occupancy of another VVT Zone or other controller on the
network.
To set up occupancy schedules, you first define a schedule for each day of the week and then define schedules
for the exceptions, such as holidays. The exceptions can be based on a date, a date range, or a week and day.

Demand limiting is a cost-saving strategy to reduce energy consumption. The strategy expands the setpoints when
the system reaches one of 3 levels of consumption. With the expanded setpoints, the equipment works less,
thereby saving energy.
If the VVT Zone II receives a demand limit signal through the network, it expands its setpoints based on the
demand level. The default amounts are:
• Demand Level 1: 1
• Demand Level 2: 2 °F (1.1 °C)
°F (.6 °C)
•Demand Level 3: 4
The i-Vu Control System uses linkage to exchange data between the zone terminals and their air source to form a
coordinated HVAC system. The system's air source controller, zone controllers, and bypass controller are linked so
that their data exchange can be managed by one zone controller configured as the VVT Master.
The VVT Master gathers the following information from the slave zone controllers: occupancy status, setpoints,
zone temperature, relative humidity, CO
mathematical calculations and algorithms on the data and then sends the composite information to the air
source. The VVT Master receives information from the air source such as mode, supply air temperature, and
outside air temperature, if present, and passes that information to all linked controllers.
The VVT Master determines system operation by prioritizing heating and cooling requirements from all the zones
based on their occupancy and demand. The VVT Master scans the system continuously to determine if any zones
are occupied. Occupied zones are a higher priority than unoccupied zones. The VVT Master evaluates all the
occupied zones' heating or cooling demands and sends a request to the air source for:
• Cooling, if the number of occupied zones with cooling demands exceeds the number of occupied zones with
• Heating, if the number of occupied zones with a heating demand exceeds or is equal to the number of

The VVT Master then gathers the following information and sends it to the air source:

• The system occupancy status
• Most open damper position from any zone
• RH and CO
values (if applicable)

The air source responds by sending the air source mode, supply air temperature, and outside air temperature. The
air source verifies the mode by comparing its supply air temperature to the space temperature received through
Linkage. See the air source documentation for operation and parameters used to verify its mode. This verification
allows the VVT system to determine if the desired air source mode is actually being provided. For example, if the
VVT Master sends a request for heating and the air source does not have heat or it’s heat has failed, the air
source's actual mode indicates that and its current mode is sent to the zones so that they can control accordingly.
The system remains in that mode until all zones of that demand are satisfied or until the System Mode Reselect
Timer (factory default is 30 minutes) causes a forced re-evaluation of the system. If there is no demand for the
opposite mode, the reselect timer starts again and the current mode continues until all zones are satisfied or until
the reselect timer expires, repeating the process. If there is a demand for the opposite mode, the VVT Master
sends the reference zone's space temperature and setpoints to the air source and restarts the reselect timer. The
air source re-evaluates its demand based on the new information and goes to the Vent mode until the new mode
can be verified as described above. The amount of time this takes is determined by the air source’s operating
parameters.
The VVT Master continuously evaluates the system and updates the air source with the most current system
demand. Based on the evaluation, the reference zone can change from one zone to another. The evaluation
process continues until there is no demand from any zone or the 30 minute timer causes a re-evaluation of the
system conditions.
If no heating or cooling is required or the current air source mode is satisfied, the VVT Master calculates the
weighted average of the occupied and unoccupied heating and cooling setpoints. It also calculates a zone
temperature that is midway between the setpoints (occupied or unoccupied based on the system’s current
occupancy status). This information, plus the occupancy status, is sent to the air source so that its current mode is
disabled and the unit ceases heating or cooling operation. If the system is occupied, the air source fan and OA

The occupied setpoints described below are the setpoints under normal operating conditions. The Demand Level 1–3
setpoints apply if demand limiting is used.
Demand limiting is a cost-saving strategy to reduce energy consumption. The strategy expands the occupied heating and
cooling setpoints when the system reaches one of 3 levels of consumption. With the expanded setpoints, the equipment
works less, thereby saving energy. By default, Demand Level 1 expands the occupied heating and cooling setpoints by
1
°F ( .5°C), Demand Level 2 by 2 °F (1.1 °C), and Demand Level 3 by 4 °F (2.2 °C). If the occupied heating or

Options:
– Unit will not change to occupied setpoint until the scheduled time or the unit
goes into an occupied mode. Setpoints do not ramp, but change immediately from
unoccupied to occupied values.
– Unit changes to occupied setpoints at a variable time prior to
the occupied time, which is calculated by the current difference between space
temperature and the appropriate heating or cooling setpoint. At that time, the setpoints
do not ramp, but change immediately from unoccupied to occupied values.
– Unit gradually changes to occupied setpoints by adjusting the
unoccupied setpoints over a specified period of time to achieve the occupied setpoint
by the time scheduled occupancy begins.
