2 | PIR Ready VT76x7 Series-Installation Guide

11. Gently push excess wiring back into hole (fig. 3).

 If replacing an existing Terminal Equipment Controller, label the wires

before removal of the Terminal Equipment Controller.

 Electronic controls are static sensitive devices. Discharge yourself

properly before manipulating and installing the Terminal Equipment
Controller.

 A short circuit or wrong wiring may permanently damage the Terminal

Equipment Controller or the equipment.

 All VT7000 series Terminal Equipment Controllers are designed for use

as operating controls only and are not safety devices. These instruments
have undergone rigorous tests and verification prior to shipping to ensure
proper and reliable operation in the field. Whenever a control failure
could lead to personal injury and/or loss of property, it becomes the
responsibility of the user / installer / electrical system designer to
incorporate safety devices (such as relays, flow switch, thermal
protections, etc…) and/or an alarm system to protect the entire system
against such catastrophic failures. Tampering with the devices or
unintended application of the devices will result in a void of warranty.

12. Re-Install wiring terminals in their correct locations (fig. 3).

13. Re-install the cover (top side first) and gently push extra wire length back into
the hole in the wall.

14. Install security screw.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The VT7600 uses a Viconics proprietary adaptive logic algorithm to control the space
temperature. This algorithm controls the heating / air conditioning system to minimize
overshoot while still providing comfort. It provides exceptional accuracy due to its unique
PI time proportioning control algorithm, which virtually eliminates temperature offset
associated with traditional, differential-based on/off Terminal Equipment Controllers.

There is a default profile set in the Terminal Equipment Controller from the factory.
This enables the Terminal Equipment Controller to operate as a non-scheduling unit in

day mode operation at start up.

There will be a 1 minute unoccupied period every night at 11:59 PM with this default
configuration.

A) Override an unoccupied period

This menu will appear only when the Terminal Equipment Controller is in unoccupied
mode. The unoccupied mode is enabled either by the internal timer scheduling or by a
remote NSB contact via DI1 or DI2.

If DI1 or DI2 is configured to operate as a remote temporary override contact, this menu
will be disabled.

Answering yes to this prompt will cause the Terminal Equipment Controller to go into
occupied mode for an amount of time equal to the parameter “TOccTime” (1 to 12 hours).

B) Resume regular scheduling

This menu does not appear in regular operation. It will appear only when the Terminal
Equipment Controller is in unoccupied override mode.

Answering “Yes” to this question will cause the Terminal Equipment Controller to resume

Permanent setpoint changes

This menu permits the adjustment of all permanent temperature setpoints (occupied and
unoccupied) as well as the desired temperature units (°F or °C). Permanent setpoints are
written to RAM and EEPROM.

Temporary setpoint changes

Temporary setpoints can be modified through the Up arrow key (▲) and the Down arrow

keys (▼).

User will be prompted with the present mode (Heating or Cooling) of the Terminal
Equipment Controller and its setpoint.

The Up (▲) arrow key will increment the setpoint by 0.5 degree (F or C).
The Down (▼) arrow key will decrement the setpoint by 0.5 degree (F or C).

Press the Yes key to accept the new setpoint.
Local changes to the heating or cooling setpoints made by the user directly using the up

or down arrow are temporary.
They will remain effective for the duration specified by ToccTime.
Setpoints will revert back to their default value after internal timer ToccTime expires.
If a permanent change to the setpoints is required, use the Temperat set ? menu

D) Humidity setpoints

This menu permits the adjustment of humidification and dehumidification setpoints.

To prevent overlap, a minimum fixed deadband of 5% RH will always prevail between the
humidification and dehumidification setpoints. For example, if the humidification setpoint is

15 | PIR Ready VT76x7 Series-Installation Guide

50% RH and the dehumidification setpoint is changed from 70% RH to 45% RH, the
humidification setpoint will be modified to 45% RH by the Terminal Equipment Controller.

Humidification process

Humidification process will only be allowed when the Terminal Equipment Controller is in
heating mode (System Mode = Heat or System Mode = Auto and effective mode at the
Terminal Equipment Controller is heat). If there is a humidification demand and the fan is
OFF, the fan is first turned ON and the humidifier output is then activated.
Other than having the RH setpoint, the following events can stop the humidification
process at any time: RH sensor is out of range, System Mode is switched to Off or Cool
and the System Mode = Auto but the room’s effective mode changes from Heat to Cool

Dehumidification process

If (Dhu LCK) Dehumidification Lockout Functions is set to On (Enabled):

Dehumidification process will only be allowed when the Terminal Equipment Controller is
in cooling mode (System Mode = Cool or System Mode = Auto and effective mode at the
Terminal Equipment Controller is cool). If there is a dehumidification demand and the fan
is OFF, the fan is first turned ON and the dehumidification output is then activated.

Other than having reach the dehumidification setpoint, the following events can stop the
dehumidification process at any time:

 RH sensor is out of range
 System Mode is switched to Off, Heat or System Mode = Auto and effective

mode at the Terminal Equipment Controller is Heat

 The room temp drops below the cooling setpoint minus the deadband value
 The Outside air temp is below the Dhu OALK parameter

If (Dhu LCK) Dehumidification Lockout Functions is set to Off (Disabled):
Other than having reach the dehumidification setpoint, the following events can stop the

dehumidification process at any time:

 RH sensor is out of range
 System Mode is switched to Off
 The Outside air temp is below the Dhu OALK parameter

Dehumidification process is allowed when the Terminal Equipment Controller operates in
all system modes except Off. If there is a dehumidification demand. If the fan is OFF, the
fan is first turned ON and the dehumidification output is then activated.

There is NO active temperature lockout protection in this mode. If the dehumidification
process causes the room temperature to rise or fall, the Terminal Equipment Controller
will react by either activating the cooling or heating outputs based on its current system
mode settings.

Equipment Controller in unoccupied mode

Ex. #2 Residential

* Scheduling consecutive events to the same time will cause the Terminal Equipment

Controller to choose the last event as the time at which it will set its schedule. In the above
example for Saturday, the Terminal Equipment Controller will control to the occupied set
point from 8:00 AM until 11:59 PM. Since it is desired to be in occupied mode throughout
the night, then it is necessary to schedule the first event on Sunday at 12:00 AM. The
Terminal Equipment Controller will force a one minute unoccupied period for a one minute
period (between 11:59 PM and 12:00 AM on Saturday)

I) Clock/Day Settings

This section of the menu permits the user to set the time and day.

J) Schedule hold

 This menu will only appear on stand-alone (Network Ready) Terminal

Equipment Controller, i.e. without a BACnet™ / Echelon™ module.

 This section of the menu permits the user to set a permanent schedule

hold, which bypasses the internal Terminal Equipment Controller
scheduling.

 The permanent schedule hold function is typically used for non-

scheduled events that extend for various periods of time.

Humidity reset

Humidity setpoint reset by outside air temperature

The setpoint decrease from original setpoint to the lowest setpoint determined by the
parameter RE Sp. In the example, Figure 8, RE Sp was set to 20%, therefore the
humidity setpoint dropped from 45% to 20%.

If you don’t want to use this feature, set the RE Sp parameter to 90% RH.

If an outdoor air sensor is
connected at the Terminal
Equipment Controller or a value
is received from the network, it
can be used to reset the
humidity setpoint during the cold
season to minimize
condensation on windows and
building structures.

When the outdoor temperature
falls below the selected high
temperature, parameter RH HT
(32F in the example Figure 8),
the humidity setpoint will start to
decrease. The lowest humidity
setpoint will be reached at
selected low temperature,
parameter RH LT (-20F).

High limit humidity sensor

The VT76x7 series
includes a high limit
sequence. This allows the
use of a remote 0 to 10
VDC humidity sensor to
limit the humidity in the
supply air. If no sensor is
detected at the HL
connector, this sequence
is disabled at the
Terminal Equipment
Controller.

Note: this high limit
function is not a safety
device. For critical
situations, provide
installation with normal
protections required to
ensure a safe operation.
