Precautions
When installing the MNB-Vx controller, be sure to
follow the guidelines outlined in "Precautions" on
page 4.
Location
The MNB-Vx controllers are suitable for indoor use only.
Caution:
• Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive
fumes, vibration, or explosive vapors are present.
• Avoid electrical noise interference. Do not install near
large contactors, electrical machinery, or welding
equipment.
• Locate where ambient temperatures do not exceed
131°F (55°C) or fall below 32°F (0°C) and relative
humidity does not exceed 85% or fall below 5%,
non-condensing.
Mounting location must clear the maximum dimensions of the
controller case and allow the controller to be mounted flush to
the surface of the terminal box and perpendicular to the
damper shaft.
MountingMount the controller to the damper according to the instructions in Figure-2.

Warning: Electrical shock hazard! Disconnect power before installing or removing the
cover.
1 Slide the controller onto the damper
shaft and mount the controller as
shown, making sure it is on a plane
that is perpendicular to the damper
shaft. See notes through .

3 Press the manual override button and turn the
output shaft to the full CCW position. If necessary,
rotate the output shaft slightly to return the button
to the fully extended position.
For CW (closed) position, turn the output shaft
fully CW.
2 Turn the damper shaft to the
full CCW (closed) position.
For CW (closed) position,
4 Finish mounting the controller to
the damper as shown, referring
to notes and .
turn the damper shaft fully CW.
1 Check that the position selected for the mounting
hole does not interfere with the operation of the
damper.
2 Some terminal boxes have sheet metal screw
heads or other protrusions near the damper shaft.
In these cases, add a spacer or shim (not provided)
under the controller's anti-rotation bracket to make
the controller perpendicular to the shaft.
3 The anti-rotation bracket is pre-installed in the
controller slot when shipped.
4 Caution: Use the anti-rotation bracket when direct-
mounting the controller onto a damper shaft. Do not
rigidly mount the controller to the damper. Position
the anti-rotation bracket so that the controller can
float, to ensure that the controller's output shaft can
turn freely through its full stroke, without binding.
5
If necessary, loosen and slide the CW travel
adjustment screw to the desired position, and then
tighten the screw.
For CW (closed) position, reposition the CCW
travel adjustment screw.
6 If preloading the damper for closed position is
required, set the controller as follows:
a. Rotate the controller CW approximately 3/16"
(4 mm) off the centerline of the damper (see
view below) and then tighten the output shaft set
screws 60 - 70 lb-in. (6.8 - 7.9 N-m), using an
1/8" allen wrench.
For CW (closed) position
, rotate the controller
CCW (see view below).
b. Rotate the controller back into alignment with
the centerline of the damper. This should ensure
closure of the damper.

c. Release the manual override button. If the button does not fully extend, it
will do so automatically once power is applied to the controller. The button
may also be made to fully extend by rotating the output shaft slightly.

and verify that the central system is providing adequate
pressure. The diagram, below, shows connections for
attaching the gauge. When removing the gauge, be sure
to plug the restrictors or remove them from the tubing.

Controller Addressing
DIP Switch
Each MicroNet BACnet controller is equipped with a DIP switch for setting the controller’s
MS/TP network address. Once the address is set, the network is properly wired, and all
routers are configured, WorkPlace Tech Tool (must be version 5.0 or greater) and other
Schneider Electric tools will be able to “see” and work with all the networked BACnet
devices. For guidance in assigning a DIP switch setting that will optimize system
performance, refer to the WorkPlace Tech Tool 5.0 Engineering Guide Supplement,
F-27356.
Other BACnet Devices
The UNC and other BACnet devices on the network can work with the MicroNet BACnet
controller once they are assigned unique identifiers and names. MicroNet BACnet
controllers are configured in this way through the Commissioning Tool.
Note: The logical addressing of devices (i.e. the assignment of unique identifiers and
names) is not a prerequisite for using Schneider Electric network management tools. It is,
however, a prerequisite for using the UNC and third-party BACnet devices with MicroNet
BACnet controllers.
EOL Termination
If the controller is at the end-of-line on the MS/TP trunk, set termination according to the
MicroNet BACnet Wiring and Networking Practices Guide, F-27360, using an end-of-line
termination resistor kit, 120 ±5%, part number 40-1758.
Finish installing the MNB-Vx controller by performing the wiring and network configuration
tasks outlined in the MicroNet BACnet Wiring and Networking Practices Guide, F-27360.

PrecautionsGeneral
Warning: Electrical shock hazard! Disconnect power before installing or removing the
cover.
• Follow Static Precautions (below) when installing this equipment.
• Use copper conductors that are suitable for 167°F (75°C).
• Make all connections according to electrical wiring diagram, national and local electrical
codes.
Static Precautions
Static charges damage electronic components. The microprocessor and associated circuitry
are extremely sensitive to static discharge. Use the following precautions when installing,
servicing, or operating the system.
• Work in a static-free area.
• Discharge static electricity by touching a known, securely grounded object.
• Use a wrist strap connected to earth ground when handling the controller’s printed
circuit board.
