b3865/866/885-V VAV
Controllers with Built-in Actuator
The Andover ContinuumTM b3865-V, b3866-V and b3885-V are
native BACnet controllers that communicate on an RS-485 field
bus as Master devices using the MS/TP BACnet protocol.
BACnet b3865/866/885-V VAV Controllers
with Built-in Actuator
Features
The controllers are highly intelligent,
low-cost VAV box controllers that come
equipped with a built-in actuator to
streamline hardware installation and save
commissioning time. Universal inputs, an
airflow sensor, Form A triac-based outputs,
and an integrated damper actuator
make these controllers perfect for VAV
applications. The b3865/866-V models
feature a room sensor input, which supports
our Andover Continuum Smart Sensor, or
any standard room temperature sensor.

Features
As native BACnet controllers, the b3865/866/885-V
models can communicate with other BACnet
devices on the MS/TP network, in strict
accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE standard 135-
2004. By connecting to the Andover Continuum
bCX1, the controllers, or other MS/TP devices can
share and gather data from the wider Ethernet/
IP network of controllers. Among those Ethernet
controllers can be Andover Continuum controllers
(BACnet or Andover Continuum Infinet) or third
party BACnet IP devices. All Andover devices,
both BACnet and Andover Continuum Infinet,
are fully compatible with the Andover Continuum
CyberStation front-end software, a fully native
BACnet Operator Workstation (B-OWS) application.

A Highly Intelligent Controller
Andover Continuum field controllers are highly
intelligent and the VAV models are no exception.
TAC designs the Andover Continuum field
controllers to handle schedules, alarms and trends
locally so there is no reliance on any supervisory
controllers. Since each controller is programmable
and can operate independently, the Andover
Continuum is highly reliable. Furthermore, each
controller is “peer-to-peer” and can share data
with any Andover Continuum or third party BACnet
controller.
Optional Wireless BACnet
The b3865/866/885-V BACnet controllers can
also communicate using a wireless mesh BACnet
network. Simply plug Andover Continuum Wireless
Adapters into the service ports of the BACnet
controllers with wireless compatible firmware to
create a wireless mesh network that sends and
receives BACnet messages. Because the native
BACnet communications are used wirelessly, the
bCX1 connects the entire wireless BACnet network
to the wired BACnet networks in your system,
regardless of manufacturer.
Increased Reliability with Flash Memory
The non-volatile Flash memory stores your
operating system and application programs, so
that in the event of a power loss, your application
is restored when power is returned. In addition,
the Flash memory allows for easy upgrades of
your operating system via software downloads,
eliminating the need to swap out memory chips.
Each controller, except the b3885-V, includes an
on-board battery to safeguard your runtime data —
Dimension Drawing
protecting all point data and log data from being
lost if power is removed.
Inputs
The inputs consists of two or four full-range
Universal inputs that accept voltage (0-5VDC),
digital (on/off), counter signals (up to 4Hz), or
temperature signals, plus an on-board air flow
sensor. The b3865/866-V models also offer
an additional input to support the Andover
Continuum Smart Sensor, or any standard room
temperature sensor.
Outputs
The b3865/866-V controllers contain three Form
A Triac-based outputs. The b3885-V controller
contains two Form A Triac-based outputs. These
outputs can be used separately for on/off or
pulsed control of lighting, heat, and fan units or
for bi-directional control of dampers and valves;
or configured into one Form K Tri-state output and
one Form A output. (Note: Any two consecutive
Triac outputs can be configured as a Form K
output.) Outputs are rated for AC loads only. The

Features
(continued)
b3866-V controller also offers two (0-10V) analog
outputs.
Damper Actuator
The integrated damper actuator allows simple
direct mounting of the controller directly over the
existing damper shaft. This eliminates the need
for separate mounting, wiring, and positioning
of the damper motor. Also, the actuator has a
built-in clutch button to temporarily disengage
the direct-drive gears during commissioning. The
controller actuator may be preset for a limited
range of motion using the mechanical “stops”
provided.
Software Capabilities
The dynamic memory of the b3865/866/885-V
controllers can be allocated for any combination
of programs, scheduling, alarming, and data
logging using the powerful Andover Plain
English programming language. Our objectoriented Plain English language with intuitive
keywords provides an easy method to tailor
the controller to meet your exact requirements.
Programs are entered into the controller using
Andover Continuum CyberStation. Programs
are then stored and executed by the controller.
Programming multiple b3865/866/885-V
controllers is inherently easy with Plain English.
A complete copy of one controller’s programs
can be loaded directly into other controllers
without changing any point names or programs.

Smart Sensor. The Smart Sensor provides a
two-character LED display and a six-button
programmable keypad that enables operators
and occupants to change setpoints, balance
VAV boxes, monitor occupancy status, and turn
equipment on and off. An enhanced version of
the Smart Sensor is also available with a four-digit
custom LCD that provides the following icons:
PM, %, °, Setpoint, Cool, Heat, CFM, Fan, OA,
and SP.
