TAC I/NETTM
MR-VAV-AX
Application Specific MicroRegulator
TAC’s MR-VAV-AX Application Specific MicroRegulatorTM has an
extensive range ofpre-engineered VAV control sequences, which
combined with a fully integrated actuator and airflow transducer,
makes it a low “Total Installed Cost” solution for most VAV
terminal unit control applications.

Operation
The MR-VAV-AX has been designed to minimize
the total installation, setup, configuration and
commissioning costs typically associated with
VAV controllers.
Installation costs have been reduced by
integrating the actuator, airflow transducer and
controller into a single, low profile, plenum-rated
package that can be completely mounted and
secured with one box screw and two damper shaft
screws.
Setup costs have been reduced by the
provision of DIP switches that can be set during
installation and before power is applied. For most
applications, default parameters will allow the
controller to run immediately from startup based on
these switch settings.
The MR-VAV-AX is also supplied with an
extensive range of pre-engineered and tested
control sequences and therefore, no application
programming is required. All configuration
parameters are pre-installed with the most typical
default values. However, they can be overwritten
either by an I/STAT, an M/STAT (a portable I/
STAT) or the Operator Station PC. Heating stage
setpoints, proportional bands and delays are
automatically calculated and set in the controller
based on the controller setup selection.
Commissioning costs have been reduced
by the use of several automated processes.
Airflow conversion parameters are automatically
calculated once the box duct diameter and the
manufacturer’s K-factor are entered. By measuring
and entering the low and high airflow values for the
box, automatic calibration of the installed airflow
transducer is then performed. Automatic calibration
of the temperature sensor is also initiated once a
measured value is entered into the controller.
