Tip
• Numeric values are stored in the application in a defined
unit. When these values are loaded in the configuration
wizard they may be displayed in a different unit. Each unit
has a defined precision. Because of this difference in the
precision and the unit, there may be loss of data when
loading the numeric values into the wizard and when
saving the numeric values. This loss of data is of very small
magnitude and will not affect the functioning of the
controller.
You may experience this loss during the following
scenarios.
— Setting the unit system to English and entering values
in fields such as flow set points and temperature set
points.
For Example:
— Predefined configuration: A Series Fan configuration should be combined with the Pressure Independent air flow con-
trol.
— Actual Configuration: If the user combines the Series Fan configuration with the Pressure Dependent air flow control,
the wizard displays the following warning message.
— Entering numeric values that are very close to the
valid range for a given field.
• When the configuration is uploaded from the device, if the
input and output configuration in the device is different from
the input and output configuration in the database then the
user configured input and output names will be lost. The
default input and output names will be displayed.
• The progress bar indicates the current progress in the
wizard. Sometimes it may take few minutes to load the
progress bar, and the progress bar will not give the
accurate progress during loading.
• Each unit has a pre-defined configuration. If the user
configures the device different from the pre-defined
configuration, the wizard displays a warning message. The
warning message is just to notify the user about the
configuration. The user can ignore the warning message
and continue with the configuration.
• To view all the warning messages displayed during the configuration, click the button. The warning
messages are displayed as shown in the following image.

Wall Module TypeDisplays the type of wall module to be used for this application. This selection determines the type of
Pressure Type and Box Type selected. Valid selections for this field are:
Flow Normal: The flow is controlled to satisfy the temperature control algorithm.
Flow Tracking: This VAV Terminal type consists of a single inlet air connection receiving its primary
source from the conditioned space. The outlet of the terminal is connected to a return air (or exhaust
air) system. The temperature control is turned off and the air flow is controlled to balance the flow
between several input vav boxes and one exhaust vav box in a room. This flow type is selectable
only when the Pressure Type is set to pressure independent.
Shared Wall Module: The temperature control loop is turned off and the flow is controlled by the
wall module at another master node. The NV nviShare of this controller must be bound to nvoShare
of the master node and the information received in nviShare is used to control the air flow. The
master node must have the temperature sensor connected to it and controls the space temperature
using its own damper and the other dampers of all nodes bound to it. This feature is used when only
one temperature sensor is used in a large area to control several boxes or when there is a need to
reprogram multiple satellite controllers based on flexible floor plans.
