Installation
!
The following section describes how to field install a new BACnet VAV Actuator or replace an existing
BACnet VAV Actuator on a McQuay VAV unit.
Expected Install Time: 25 minutes
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge hazard. Can cause equipment damage.
This equipment contains sensitive electronic components that may be damaged by
electrostatic discharge from your hands. Before you handle a communications module, you
need to touch a grounded object, such as the metal enclosure, in order to discharge the
electrostatic potential in your body.
Required Tools and Materials
• 4 mm hex wrench
• Small, flat-blade screwdriver
• 1/4-inch Hex drill/driver set
• Marker or pencil
• Torque Wrench
Installing a new BACnet VAV Actuator
Follow these steps to install a BACnet VAV Actuator on the VAV unit.
To Install the BACnet VAV Actuator
WARNING
!
Electric shock hazard. Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
This equipment must be properly grounded. Only personnel knowledgeable in the operation of the
equipment being controlled must perform connections and service to the BACnet VAV Actuator.
1. Determine the size of the damper shaft.
•If the damper shaft is 1/2-inch, proceed to Step 2.
NOTE: The actuator comes with a factory-installed 1/2-inch damper shaft guide.
•If the damper shaft is 5/8-inch:
a. Remove the 1/2-inch shaft guide, Figure 3.

b.
Use the 3/8-inch adapter, provided in the actuator packaging, Figure 4. Hold the shaft insert so
that the raised tabs are inserted last when placing the insert into the back of the actuator.

To Wire the BACnet VAV Actuator
WARNING
!
Electric shock hazard. Can cause personal injury or equipment damage.
This equipment must be properly grounded. Only personnel knowledgeable in the operation of the
equipment being controlled must perform connections and service to the BACnet VAV Actuator.
WARNING: Installations requiring CE Conformance
•All wiring for CE rated actuators must be Separated Extra Low Voltage (SELV) or Protective Extra
Low Voltage (PELV) per HD384-4-41.
•Use safety-isolating transformers (Class III transformer) per EN 61558. They must be rated for 100%
duty cycle.
•Over current protection for supply lines is maximum 4A.

Digital Outputs (DO):
The Digital Outputs on the VAV Actuator are dry output Triac type outputs. 24 VAC must be applied to the
“C” pin of the DO connector. The side view of the Actuator shows output pin details.
By providing dry output Triac DO’s, the application can switch either Phase or Neutral depending on
application needs. In a 24 VAC circuit, neutral is determined by which side of the transformer is earth
grounded. If neither side is earth grounded (at the transformer) then the 24 VAC is considered a floating
(isolated) source.
