Introduction

This two component retrot option consists of the VTR8300 room
controller and the VC3000 relay pack. Together, they provide an
easy solution for retrotting fan coil unit thermostats without requiring
other components such as relays, transformers, controllers, sensors,
and network wiring to be upgraded. Existing line voltage wiring
between the fan coil unit and room controller can be reused to further
minimize overall labor and installation costs for both retrot and new
construction control projects. Additional exibility and energy savings
can be achieved with optional wireless door and window switches.

Application specic and programmable

The VTR8300 room controllers are both application-specic AND
programmable. This enables the modication of pre-congured
control sequences, or the creation of entirely new control sequences

line-voltage fan coil

•

On-board PIR occupancy sensor (optional)

• RH sensor with dehumidification control

(optional)

•

Can be used with ZigBee Pro wireless sensors

• Free downloadable Uploader VT8000 tool

for the upload of Lua Scripts, standby screen

images, and firmware upgrades, using a USB/

Micro-USB cable

Integration

•

Multiple options for integration to Building

Management Systems (BMS)

for HVAC, lighting and other applications. The room controllers are
specically designed to provide exceptional temperature control of
multi-speed fan coil units. When compared to traditional building
automation room controllers, the VTR8300 series fan coil room
controllers provide unmatched return on investment.

Touch screen with customizable user experience

The touch screen of the VTR8300 offers a customizable user
experience with selection of languages, units, buttons, and screen
colors. It also supports the upload of an image or logo that becomes
the default standby screen of the device. Custom messages can also
be displayed on-screen using BACnet objects when the VTR8300 is
integrated to a BACnet system.

Optional passive infrared motion sensor

All models can be equipped with a discrete optional Passive Infrared
(PIR) motion sensor. With the embedded sensor, the VTR8300 uses
advanced occupancy routines to generate automatic energy savings
during occupied and unoccupied periods without sacricing occupant
comfort.

Programming the VTR8300 with Lua

The VTR8300 room controllers are programmable
using the open programming language Lua.
Although building management systems often
use open protocols and standards, their program
BACnet objects and scripting features remain
proprietary and incompatible with third party
devices. The VTR8300 use of an open language
enables interopreability with all systems.

Programming with BMS integration

When integrated into a BACnet MS/TP building
management system, the VTR8300 offers 10
Program BACnet objects, each able to contain 480
characters. No special software, license or tool is
required.

• BACnet MS/TP integration into BMS

• 10 Program BACnet objects (Lua scripts)

• Each object can contain 480 characters max

Programming without integration

When there is no BACnet MS/TP integration, a Lua
script can be uploaded directly to the VTR8300 using
the Uploader VT8000 tool. Unlike the 10 PG objects

used when the unit is integrated via BACnet MS/TP,
there is only one script, which can contain up to 16KB.

• No BACnet MS/TP integration

• 1 Lua script of 16KB max

• Uploader VT8000 to upload scripts using PC

software tool and a USB/Micro-USB cable

HVAC applications and beyond

Programming can be used to go beyond the
pre-congured control sequences of the VTR8300 to
create customized HVAC applications. It can also be
used to comply with specic project requirements and
manage other applications, such as lighting and other
equipment.

Using Lua scripts enables you to take advantage
of the extra inputs and outputs of the VTR8300 to
manage other devices, such as sensors and relays.

Uploader VT8000

Lua scripts, standby screen images and rmware
upgrades can be loaded to the VTR8300 using the
Uploader VT8000 tool and a USB/Micro-USB cable.
