Setting the rotation limits
SimplyVAV controllers are manufactured for a damper that rotates 90 degrees from open to
close. If the VAV damper is not a 90 degree damper, set the rotation limits to 45 or 60
degrees before mounting the controller.
Before setting the rotation limits on the controller, refer to the
damper position specifications in the VAV control box to which
the controller will be attached. Setting rotation limits that do not
match the VAV damper may result in improper operation or
equipment damage.

Sec tion 5:Balan c i n g airf l o w
Topics in this section are for control technicians or engineers who will be balancing the
airflow in the controllers.
The airflow balancing procedure described in this section requires the following items.
l A flow hood or other accurate method to measure airflow.
l An STE-8001 orSTE-8201 wall sensor. If the system does not include one of these
sensors, temporarily disconnect the installed sensor and connect an STE-8001 as a
service tool.
l The engineering design specifications for the minimum and maximum airflow
setpoints.
l Password 2 which is described in the topic Getting started with configuration on
page 21.
Note:If the VAV unit is a heat only or cooling only unit, the airflow setpoints for the unused mode
must be set within the range of the mode in use. Failure to set the unused setpoints
correctly will result in unpredictable or erroneous air balancing settings. See Set the
airflow setpoints on page 29 for the procedure to adjust the setpoints.
Note:Starting the balancing procedure erases all previous airflow correction factors. The airflow
readings displayed by the digital sensor are the actual uncorrected airflow readings as
measured by the controller.

The staged reheat 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.
l For one-stage, electric reheat or hot water reheat with an on/off valve, use only output
terminal BO6.
l For two-stage reheat use output terminals BO6 and BO7.
l For three-stage reheat use output terminals BO6, BO7, and BO8.
For cooling and heating, a duct temperature sensor is required for Discharge Air Temperature
limiting and automatic changeover. See the topic Advanced optionson page 33 for
instructions to enable Discharge Air Temperature limiting.
When connecting the controller to a fan powered VAV unit, the fan circuits must be
compatible with the following specifications.
l The fan start circuit is a 24 volt AC pilot duty output.

Floating reheat
The floating reheat application is for BAC-8005 orBAC-8205 controllers. Use this application
in hydronic systems that are controlled by an actuator with tri-state inputs. The reheat
outputs are triacs that can switch up to 1ampere at 24volts AC.
For cooling and heating, a duct temperature sensor is required for Discharge Air Temperature
limiting and automatic changeover. See the topic Advanced optionson page 33 for
instructions to enable Discharge Air Temperature limiting.
When connecting the controller to a fan powered VAV unit, the fan circuits must be
compatible with the following specifications.
l The fan start circuit is a 24 volt AC pilot duty output.
l The fan speed output is 0-10 volts DC.

Topics in this section cover the sequences of operation forthe 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.

Input sources
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.
l SimplyVAV digital wall sensors
l STE-6000 series discreet temperature sensors
l Discharge air temperature sensor
l Airflow sensors and pickups
SimplyVAV digital wall sensors—The SimplyVAV digital wall sensors include a room
temperature sensor, a digital display, and a push button interface for entering setpoints and
configuring the controllers. If a SimplyVAV digital wall sensor is detected, the sensor's
temperature is mapped to the Space Temperature Reference value object as the
temperature input value. See the topic BACnet objects on page 67 foradditional
information on value objects.
The SimplyVAV digital wall sensor model BAC-8201 includes also a motion sensor to detect
when the zone is temporary unoccupied. This is described in the topic Occupancy
sequence on page 50.
Revision H49
Page 50
Section 7: Sequences of operationKMC Controls, Inc.
STE-6000 series discreet temperature sensors—There are three models of the STE-6000
series sensors compatible with the SimplyVAV controllers. If one of the three sensors is
detected, the sensor's temperature is mapped to the Space Temperature Reference value
object as the temperature input value. See the topic BACnet objects on page 67 for
additional information on value objects.
Models STE-6014 and STE-6017 also include a dial for adjusting the setpoint . If either of
these two sensors is detected, the dial position sets the Active setpoint a few degrees
above or below the Occupied setpoint.
The STE-6017 includes a button that when pushed will override the unoccupied state. This
is described in the topic Occupancy sequence on page 50.
Discharge air temperature sensor—The DAT sensor is an optional Type-III, 10 kΩ
thermistor and is required forVAV heating applications. If the controller detects that this
sensor is connected, then the controller will use discharge air temperature to determine
when to change between heating and cooling. The DAT sensor input is used also to control
reheat. See the topics Discharge Air Temperature (DAT) limiting on page 53 and
Changeover on page 53.
Airflow sensors and pickups—VAV airflow is calculated by measuring the high and low
duct pressures with the built-in airflow sensor which is connected to airflow pickup tubes.
The high and low pressure measurements 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.
l Occupied on page 50
l Unoccupied
l Standby
Occupancy can also be commanded by another BACnet device or an operator workstation
connected the building automation network. See the topic System integration and
networking on page 63 for details.
Automatic occupancy
If Automatic Occupancy is enabled, the controller will automatically toggle between
Unoccupied, Occupied, and Standby based on the presence of primary airflow and
motion in the zone.
The default for Automatic Occupancy is Disabled. See the topic Advanced optionson
page 33 to change Automatic Occupancy.
Occupied
For controllers without a connected motion sensor, the controller changes to Occupied
upon the detection of primary airflow.
50Revision H
Page 51
SimplyVAVSection 7: Sequences of operation
Controllers with a connected motion sensor change to Occupied upon the detection of
primary airflow and motion in the space. The unit will remain in the OCCUPIED state as long
as periodic motion is detected and primary airflow continues. If motion stops, the controller
changes to STANDBY.
Unoccupied
The controller Occupancy mode changes to UNOCCUPIED when it detects a loss of
primary airflow. While in the UNOCCUPIED state, the controller will fully open the damper in
an attempt to reach the maximum airflow setpoint.
Loss of primary airflow is defined as less than 25% of the requested flow for at least 5
minutes. The Occupancy mode changes to Occupied or Standby once the actual airflow
is at least 30% of the requested flow.
Standby
In units with a connected motion sensor, the controller starts in STANDBY and changes to
OCCUPIED after detecting motion in the space. Motion in the space is 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 fourtemperature setpoints each for heating and cooling for a total of eight
setpoints.
l Active cooling
l Occupied cooling
l Unoccupied cooling
l Standby cooling
Types of setpoints
The SimplyVAV controllers may use any of the following setpoints based on a user entered
setpoint or the state of occupancy and standby which is described in the topic Occupancy
sequence on page 50.
l Active heating
l Occupied heating
l Unoccupied heating
l Standby heating
Revision H51
Page 52
Section 7: Sequences of operationKMC Controls, Inc.
Active setpoint—The active setpoint is the current setpoint. The active setpoint is
determined by the following.
l If the space is occupied, the controller uses the occupied setpoint as the active
setpoint.
l If an STE-6014 and STE-6017 is connected, the Active setpoint is set by the dial to be a
few degrees above or below the Occupied setpoint. The range of adjustment is set by
the variable STBY OFFSET. The dial setting does not change the setpoint when in the
Unoccupied or Standby state.
l If the space is unoccupied the controller uses the unoccupied setpoint as the active
setpoint.
l If controller is in standby, the controller calculates the standby setpoint.
l A user with Password 1 can enter an active setpoint from a SimplyVAV digital wall
sensor. This entry will change the occupied setpoint within the setpoint limits.
Occupied setpoint—A temperature setpoint entered by the controls technician during
controller setup and system commissioning. This is the setpoint used when the controller is
occupied which is determined by primary airflow and, on controllers equipped with motion
sensors, motion in the zone.
Unoccupied setpoint—A temperature setpoint entered by the controls technician during
controller setup and system commissioning. This is the setpoint used when the system is
unoccupied .
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 variable STBY OFFSET. The
standby offset value is entered by the controls technician during controller setup and system
commissioning. See the topic Occupancy sequence on page 50.
Setpoint limits
The programming in the controller limits the setpoint entry so that no heating setpoint is set
higher than its corresponding cooling setpoint.
If a user is adjusting a setpoint and it falls within the range set by the value of Minimum
Setpoint Differential, the corresponding setpoint will be changed to maintain the differential.
For example, the Minimum Setpoint Differential is 4°F and the Occupied Heating setpoint is
70°F. If the user lowers the Occupied Cooling setpoint to 71°F, the controller recalculates
the Occupied Heating setpoint and changes it to 67°F.
PID control loops
A PID control loop calculates an error value from the difference between the measured room
temperature and the active setpoint. The error value is expressed as a percentage and is
typically used in a BAS controller to control the state of an output. When the difference
between the setpoint and room temperature is large, the erroris large. As the system
reduces the difference between the setpoint and space temperature, the error becomes
smaller.
52Revision H
Page 53
SimplyVAVSection 7: Sequences of operation
The SimplyVAV controllers use up to three PID loops.
l The heating PID loop.
l The cooling PID loop.
l The discharge air temperature (DAT) loop.
For SimplyVAV controllers, the output of either the cooling and heating PID loop is used to
calculate the position of the damper. If present, the DAT input and DAT loop controls the
Reheat loop.
The PID loops in the SimplyVAV controllers are standard BACnetobjects and are described
in the topic BACnet objects on page 67.
Airflow setpoints sequence
Airflow Setpoint is calculated based on the demand for cooling or heating depending on
whether the Cooling loop or Heating loop is greater than zero.
If no room sensor is connected to the controller, the controller uses the Minimum Cooling
Airflow setpoint to maintain airflow.
Cool Air Sequence
As the Cooling loop increases from 0% to 100%, Primary Airflow Setpoint is proportionally
calculated between Minimum Cooling Airflow and Maximum Cooling Airflow.
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 53 and Input sources on page 49.
Changeover
The Discharge Air Temperature input is used by the controller to determine the type of air
that is being supplied by the AHU. The sensor is required for applications that require
automatic change over between cooling and heating.
When the Heating loop is inactive, the Discharge Air Temperature input is compared to the
SAT Changeover Temp. If the Discharge Air Temperature is below the SAT Changeover
Temp minus 2°, the SAT Changeover Mode is set to COOL. If the Discharge Air
Temperature is above the SAT Changeover Temp plus 2° Fahrenheit, the SAT Changeover
Mode is set to HEAT. The default changeover temperature is 74° Fahrenheit.
See the topic Discharge Air Temperature (DAT) limiting on page 53 and Input sources
on page 49.
Discharge Air Temperature (DAT) limiting
A Discharge Air Temperature senor and DAT limiting is required to control VAV units with
reheat. If a Discharge Air Temperature (DAT) sensor is detected and DAT Limiting is

enabled, the VAV terminal will be controlled by the DAT loop. The unit will also limit the
Discharge Air Temperature to within 15° F of the Space Temp Reference.
When there is a call for heat and the primary air is cool air, the reheat outputs are directly
controlled by the DAT Loop and the DAT Setpoint reset based on the output of the Heating
loop. As the Heating loop increases from 0% to 50%, DAT Setpoint is proportionally
calculated between Space Temp Reference and Space Temp Reference + 15° F up to
maximum 90° F. This allows the reheat to be controlled by the DAT loop over the first 50% of
a call for heating.
Illustration 7–1 DAT limiting operation
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.
If the unit has detected a DAT sensor and DAT Limiting is not enabled, the unit’s reheat is
controlled by the Heating loop instead of the DAT loop.
See also the topics Changeover on page 53 and Input sources on page 49.
System diagnostic indicators
The controller programming includes four system diagnostic indicators in the form of BACnet
value objects.
l NEED AHU (BV1)
l NEED COLDER SUPPLY (BV2)
l NEED MORE STATIC (BV3)
l NEED HOTTER SUPPLY (BV7)
These diagnostic indicators or flags are monitored by other BACnet devices, such as air
handling units, connected to the same building automation system as the controller. How
the indicators are used is beyond the scope of these instructions.
54Revision H
Page 55
SimplyVAVSection 7: Sequences of operation
NEED AHU (BV1)
The Need AHU Start value object is set to TRUE (1) for any of the following conditions.
l The system mode is UNOCCUPIED and the Cooling loop or the Heating loop is
greater than 100%for longer than 10 minutes.
l The system mode is OCCUPIED or STANDBY.
l Either of the Motion Override or Local Override variable objects are TRUE (1).
The Need for AHU Start object changes to FALSE (0) when both loops drop below 5% and
the system mod is not OCCUPIED or STANDBY and both override variable objects are
FALSE (0).
NEED COLDER SUPPLY (BV2)
The Need Colder Supply value object is set to TRUE (1) when the system mode is
STANDBY or OCCUPIED and the Cooling loop is greater than 95% for 30 minutes. The
indicator changes to FALSE (0) when the Cooling loop falls below 90% orwhen the system
mode is UNOCCUPIED.
NEED MORE STATIC (BV3)
The Need More Static value object is set to TRUE (1) when the controller has attempted to
drive the damper fully open for longer than 2 minutes 30 seconds and any of the following are
TRUE (1).
l The system mode is OCCUPIED or STANDBY.
l Either of the Motion Override or Local Override variable objects are TRUE (1).
When any of these conditions are no longer true, the indicator changes to FALSE (0).
NEED HOTTER SUPPLY (BV7)
The Need Warmer Supply value object is set to TRUE (1) when the system mode is
STANDBY or OCCUPIED and the Heating loop is greater than 95% for 30 minutes. The
indicator changes to FALSE (0) when the Heating loop falls below 90% or when the system
mode is no longer OCCUPIED.
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.
To improve stability near setpoint, the damper motor is pulsed when the actual flow rate is
within 15% of the requested flow rate. The pulse rate is 5 seconds and the duty cycle is
controlled by analog variable MOTOR PAUSE. In addition, the motor will pause for 10
seconds before the damper changes direction.

Fan operation
The SimplyVAV controllers support both series and parallel fan powered VAV units. For
either type of fan operation, the fan is controlled through the following terminals.
l A binary outputtriac controls a 24-volt fan starting circuit. See the topic Configuring
the VAV Box optionson page 27 for the procedure to configure the controller for a
fan.
l A 0-10 volt DC analog output controls the speed of the fan. The output controls fan
speed at either Min Fan Speed or Max Fan Speed. See the topic Set the airflow
setpoints on page 29 forthe procedure to set the fan speeds.
If the VAV unit is not configured for a fan, the two outputs are not used and remain inactive
regardless of the occupancy state.
Series Fan
If the controller is configured for a series fan, any time the Occupancy mode of the controller
is set to either OCCUPIED or STANDBY, the fan runs continuously. The fan speed is set to
Maximum Fan Speed when the state is OCCUPIED and set to Minimum Fan Speed when
the state is STANDBY.
When the Occupancy state is UNOCCUPIED, the fan starts and runs at minimum speed
only on a call for heating. The fan starts when the Heating loop is greater than 5% and stops
when the Heating loop is less than 1%.
Illustration 7–2 Series fan operation
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%.

Modulating reheat
If the controller is configured for modulating reheat, it controls an analog reheat unit with 010 volts DC at the analog reheat output. On a call for 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 44 for an application drawing.

Staged reheat
If the controller is configured for staged reheat, it can control up to three stages of reheat
through binary triac outputs. The reheat outputs are commanded On when the Reheat loop
rises above the ON threshold and OFF when the loop drops below the OFF threshold.
Thresholds are described in the following chart, Staged reheat thresholds on page 58.

Time proportioned reheat
For controllers configured for time proportional reheat, the duty cycle of a binary triac output
varies over a 10 second period. For example, if the Reheat 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 45 for an application drawing.

Floating reheat
If the controller is configured for floating reheat, it controls two binary triac outputs to drive
the inputs of a tri-state actuator connected to a valve. If the Reheat loop is less than 30%, the
valve is driven closed. If the loop is greater than 70%, the valve is driven open. If the loop is in
between 30% and 70%, no valve action is taken.

Balancing airflow sequence
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 orother measuring
instrument and then compared to the airflow measurements from the sensor in the
controller. The balancing process requires an STE-8001 or STE-8201 digital sensor as the
technicians setup tool for initiating the balancing sequence and entering actual flow
measurements.
When the balancing sequence starts, all other functions of the controller are locked out.
At the start of the sequence, the controller drives the damper open until the airflow reaches
the highest value of either the cooling or heating maximum airflow setpoints. An airflow
measurement is made with an airflow hood and the actual airflow value is entered into the
controller. Once the actual airflow is entered, the controller drives the damper closed to the
lower value of either the cooling or heating minimum airflow. Another measurement is made
with the flow hood and that measurement is entered into the controller.
After the minimum airflow measurement is entered, the programming in the controller
calculates airflow correction factors which are used to adjust measurements from the
internal airflow sensor. Balancing is complete and the controller is returned to normal
operation.
See the topic Balancing airflow on page 37 for the procedure to balance the airflow with a
digital sensor.

controls the cooling air (primary)damper and a TSP-8001 actuator controls the heating air
(secondary) damper.
l As the space temperature rises above the cooling setpoint, the primary airflow is
modulated from the Cooling Minimum flow to the Cooling Maximum Flow.
l As the space temperature falls below the heating setpoint, the secondary airflow is
modulated from the Heating Minimum flow to the Heating Maximum Flow.
l Between the heating and cooling setpoints, both the primary airflow and secondary
airflow are modulated to maintain the Dual Duct Minimum airflow.

Sec tion 8:System int egration an d networki ng
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. The topics in this section are reference material for control
technicians or engineers who are planning, installing, and setting up controllers that are
connected to a network.
In addition to the information in this section, you will also need the following information.
l Detailed plans and drawings for the building automation system.
l Information about the facility LAN including routers, switches, and network firewalls.
l Sequences of operation forother BACnet devices that will monitor orinteract with
SimplyVAV controllers.

Connecting to an MS/TP network
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 65.
Illustration 8–1 MS/TP network wiring and EOLswitches
Revision H63

Section 8: System integration and networkingKMC Controls, Inc.
Connections and wiring
Use the following principles when connecting a controller to an MS/TP network:
l Connect no more than 128 addressable BACnet devices to one MS/TP network. The
devices can be any mix of controllers or routers.
l For best network performance, limit the MS/TP network size to 32 controllers.
l Use twisted pair, shielded cable with capacitance of no more than 51picofarads per
foot for all network wiring. Belden cable model #82760 meets the cable requirements.
l Connect the -A terminal in parallel with all other - terminals.
l Connect the +B terminal in parallel with all other + terminals.
l Connect the shields of the cable together at each mid line controller. For SimplyVAV
controllers use the S terminal.
l Connect the shield to an earth ground at one end only.
l Use a KMD–5575 repeater if the cable length will exceed 4000 feet (1220 meters). Use
no more than four repeaters per MS/TP network.
l Place a KMD–5567 surge suppressor in the cable where it exits a building.
End of line termination switches
The controllers on the physical ends of the EIA-485 wiring segment must have end of line
termination added for proper network operation.
l For controllers at the end of the networkset the EOL switches to On
l For mid line controllers at the end of the network set the EOL switches to Off
Network bulbs
SimplyVAVcontrollers include network bulbs located near the MS/TP network connector.
These bulbs serve three functions:
l Removing both bulbs will disconnect the controller from the MS/TP network.
l If one or both bulbs are lit, it indicates the network connection or controller power is not
properly wired.
l If the voltage or current on the network exceeds safe levels, the bulbs may open and
protect the controller from damage.
Bulbs are illuminated If one or both bulbs are illuminated, it indicates the network is not
phased correctly. The ground potential of the controller is not the same as other controllers
on the network. The brighter the isolation bulbs on a controller are illuminated, the closer that
controller is to the source of the problem. Remove power and check the network and power
connections.

Append i x A:K-factors
To set up a VAV controller, a K-factor must be entered into the controller. Typically, this is
part of the airflow chart that the manufacturer places on the VAV unit. If this information is
missing and not available from the manufacturer, use the K-factor in the following chart.
