2 | VZ7656E1000W Installation Guide

10. Insert each wire according to wiring diagram.

 When 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 improper 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 or installer or 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.

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

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 VZ7656 series uses a Viconics proprietary adaptive logic algorithm to control the
space temperature. This algorithm controls the heating and or 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 thermostats.

Fig.2 - On-Off mechanical control vs. PI electronic control.

Features overview

 7 day schedule models, 2 or 4 events.
 Supports up to 120 zones per system WITHOUT any network wires.
 C02 control logic based on fresh air volume or fresh air damper position.
 Fresh air damper output for building C02 level control.
 Gas, oil or electric system compatibility.

3 | VZ7656E1000W Installation Guide

 Remote outdoor sensing capability for added flexibility.

- System mode heating and cooling lockout.

- Zone perimeter reheat lockout.

 Remote discharge air sensor input for monitoring and control purpose.

- System efficiency feedback.

- Discharge high limit heating lockout.

- Discharge low limit cooling lockout.

 Remote return air sensor input for monitoring control.

- System efficiency feedback.

- Return high limit heating lockout.

- Return low limit cooling lockout.

- Communication lost control function.

 Password protected configuration menu and lockable keypads for security.
 A configurable digital input for added flexibility. The input can be configured as the

following:

 None: No function will be associated with the input.
 Service: a backlit flashing Service alarm will be displayed on the Terminal

Equipment Controller LCD screen when the input is energized. It can be tied in
to the AC unit control card, which provides an alarm in case of malfunction.

 Filter: a backlit flashing Filter alarm will be displayed on the Terminal

Equipment Controller LCD screen when the input is energized. It can be tied to a
differential pressure switch that monitors filters.

 RemNSB: remote NSB timer clock input. Will disable the internal scheduling of

the Terminal Equipment Controller. The scheduling will now be set as per the
digital input. The menu part related to scheduling is disabled and no longer
accessible. It provides low cost setback operation via occupancy sensor or from
a dry contact.

 RemOVR: temporary occupancy contact. Disables all override menu function of

the Terminal Equipment Controller. . The override function is now controlled by a
manual remote momentarily closed contact. When configured in this mode, the
input operates in a toggle mode.

 With this function enabled it is now possible to toggle between unoccupied &

occupied setpoints for the amount of time set by parameter (TOccTime)
temporary occupancy time.

 Automatic smart fan operation saves energy during unoccupied periods.
 Non volatile EEPROM memory prevents loss of parameters during power shortage.
 Configurable SPST output relay on scheduling models for lighting, exhaust fan or

fresh air control.

 6 hour typical reserve time for clock in case of power loss.
 Built in 0 to 10 VDC by-pass damper / VFD output logic for static pressure control.

- Built in static pressure loop control.

- 0 to 5 VDC static pressure input.

Easy configuration and self-binding operation

 Easy configuration without using any special software or additional tools.
 Can be used as stand-alone or with supervision controller for monitoring purposes.
 Truly scalable in terms of supported number of zones and RTU units.

WIRELESS SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Viconics VZ7260X5X00W Zone controllers are used in conjunction with the
VZ7656X1000W roof top controllers. Combined, they are designed for operating typical;
single or multistage RTU’s and their associated local zones. For example, a typical job
layout system may feature 3 RTU controllers and a total of 31 zones. This would bring to
total number of nodes (individual Com addresses) to 34. RTU 1 would have 10 zones
under its command, RTU 2 would have 10 zones under its command and RTU 3 would
have 11 zones under its command.
