2.1.3 Version summary
Series identification and actuator data can be found in the top right corner of the
product label. As of Series F, the device data is also stored in a DMC (data matrix
code) in the top right corner. It can be read out with any QR Code / DMC scanner
or the Scan-to-HIT app available at ([7] resp. [8]).
VAV Compact Controllers series G are designed for using ETS device profile v2.x,
however ETS device profile v1.x is supported for backward compatibility reasons.

2.2 Design and device parts
The VAV compact controllers consist of a differential pressure sensor, actuator and
digitally configurable control electronics. They are intended for mounting on
damper shafts of a minimum length of 30 mm. They consist of base and 2-sectional
housing.
Components contained in the base:
∂ Steel base plate with damper drive shaft fixing for different drive shaft
diameters / cross-sectional areas (cf. section 2.3) and angular rotation limiter,
∂ maintenance-free, low-noise gear train,
∂ magnetic hysteresis clutch with practically contact-free force transmission; this
means that the actuator is locking- and overload-proof, also in continuous
operation.
Components contained in the housing (Note: the housing cover must not be
removed):
∂ Controller electronics,
∂ differential pressure sensor,
∂ synchronous motor for the damper actuator.

Manual control of the air dampers is possible by gear train disengagement (8)

The VAV compact controllers can be set into addressing/programming mode by
push-button:
ƒ Press push button (>0.1s and <1s)
ƒ KNX bus wiring OK ⇓ LED turns red until addressing/programming is finished
ƒ KNX bus wiring not OK ⇓ LED stays dark
The VAV compact controllers can be reset by push-button:
ƒ Press push button > 20s
ƒ LED flashes orange
ƒ Device restarts
All parameters which can be set by the OEM are reset to the OEM default values.

Terminal layout may differ for each device. Devices with twin-terminals or internally
connected terminals may be encountered as well as bus connection in junction
boxes. Please refer to the technical basic documentation for product specific
information.
∂ The operating voltage at terminals G and G0 must comply with the
requirements under SELV or PELV.
∂ Safety transformers with twofold insulation as per EN 61558 required; they
must be designed to be on 100 % of the time.
