Applications
Basic Operation
The BACnet VAV Actuator provides Direct Digital Control (DDC) for Variable Air Volume
(VAV) terminal box applications. Temperature control varies with the application. If present,
heating can be provided by hot water, up to three stages of electric reheat, or optional
baseboard radiation.
Sequencing Logic (optional)

This application has the additional capability to sequence the flow and mechanical heating
when heated supply air is available.
Control Temperature Setpoints

The controller maintains a specified temperature setpoint based on Day/Night mode, or the
heating/cooling mode, or the setpoint dial (if used).
Day/Night Mode
The controller maintains the specified day setpoint temperature during daytime hours and the
specified night setpoint at night.
Night Mode Override Switch

If the ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR has an override switch, it can be used to command
the controller into day mode for an adjustable period of time. This only affects a controller in
night mode.
Control Loops
Temperature Loop – Heating Loop – Cooling Loop – maintain temperature setpoint by
changing the flow setpoint or modulating the heat source (valve/electric heat).
Flow Loop – maintains flow setpoint by modulating the damper actuator.

Calibration
Air Velocity Sensor - Calibration of the controller's internal air velocity sensor is periodically
required to maintain accurate air velocity readings. Calibration may be set to take place
automatically or manually.
Autozero Module (AZM) – Used when damper cannot be closed and constant airflow is
needed.
• For a controller used with an AZM, calibration occurs without closing the damper.
Application 2560, 2561, 2562, 2563.
• For a controller used without an AZM, the damper is briefly commanded closed to get
a zero airflow reading and an accurate damper position during calibration.
Application 2560, 2561, 2562, 2563.
Hot Water Valve – Calibration of a hot water valve (if used) is done by briefly commanding
the valve closed. Application 2562, 2565, 2567.
Damper Status Operation

When using an AZM it is possible, after a period of operation, for the calculated damper
position to differ from the actual (physical) damper position.
If this occurs, the controller will automatically compensate for any difference by readjusting
the calculated damper position. This calculated position may not match the actual position.
Fail-safe Operation
If the air velocity sensor fails, the controller uses pressure dependent control. The
temperature loop controls the operation of the damper.
If the room temperature sensor fails, then the controller operates using the last known
temperature value.
Heating and Cooling Switchover

The heating/cooling switchover determines whether the controller is in heating or cooling
mode by monitoring the room temperature and the demand for heating and cooling (as
determined by the temperature control loops).
Modulate Damper During Heating Mode (optional)

Applications that have a heating source (valve/electric) can be configured to modulate the
flow setpoint in sequence with the heating source.
CAUTION:
If the damper is set to modulate in heating mode, make sure the controller is in the
appropriate mode for the current supply air temperature.

Applications
Hot Water Reheat

• CAUTION:
Do not set HTG FLOW MIN to 0 cfm (0 lps). A minimum airflow should be provided
across the heating coils when the heating valve is open.
When the controller is in cooling mode, the heating valve(s) are closed.
The heating loop modulates the heating valve(s) to warm up the room. In cooling mode, the
heating valve is closed.
Electric Reheat
CAUTION:
Verify that the equipment is supplied with safeties by others to ensure that there is
airflow across the heating coils when they are to be energized.
The heating loop controls up to three stages of electric reheat to warm up the room. The
electric reheat is time modulated using a duty cycle. When the controller is in cooling mode,
the electric heat is OFF at all times.
Notes
1. If the temperature swings in the room are excessive or if there is trouble in maintaining
the setpoint, contact your local Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. representative for
more information.
2. The BACnet VAV Actuator, as shipped from the factory, keeps all associated equipment
OFF. The controller and its equipment are released to application control at start-up.
3. “Safeties by Others”: This note implies that the associated equipment has safety features
installed, for example adding mechanical stops to the dampers.

Application 2560 VAV Cooling Only
Overview
In Application 2560, the controller modulates the supply air damper of the terminal box for
cooling. In order for it to work properly, the central air-handling unit must provide cool supply

Application 2562 VAV with Electric Reheat or

Baseboard Radiation
Overview
In Application 2562, the controller modulates the supply air damper for the terminal box for
cooling and controls stages of electric reheat or baseboard radiation for heating. When in
heating, the terminal box either maintains minimum airflow or modulates the supply air
damper. In order for the terminal box to work properly, the central air-handling unit must
provide supply air. See Figure 7 and Figure 8.
Baseboard Radiation
Baseboard radiation can be a two-position valve or electrical resistance heating.
If the controller is in cooling mode, the heating valve is closed. When in heating mode, the
controller will operate the heating valve to maintain the heating setpoint.
Electric Heat Interlock

The electric heat stages will be disabled (turned off) when the electric heat airflow is less than
the defined minimum.
CAUTION:
Do not set EHEAT FLOW (the defined minimum) to less than 5%; otherwise, the
electric heat interlock will be disabled.

Application 2597 Slave Mode
Overview
Application 2597 is the slave mode application for the BACnet VAV Actuator (P/N 550-430
and 550-431). Slave mode is the default application that comes up when power is first
applied to the controller. Slave mode provides no control. Its purpose is to allow the operator
to perform equipment checkout before a control application is put into effect and to set some
basic controller parameters (CTLR ADDRESS, APPLICATION, etc.). A controller in default
state can also be used as a point extension device by unbundling spare I/O points at the field
panel.
Using Auxiliary Points

It is possible to have extra points available on a BACnet VAV Controller — Electronic Output
in addition to the ones used by the current application that is running in the controller. If these
extra points are to be controlled by a field panel, then they must be unbundled at the field
panel.
Using the Controller as a Point Extension Device

If the controller is only used as a point extension device, with no control application in affect,
its application must be set to slave mode and points must be unbundled at the field panel. All
points must be controlled from the field panel in order to be used.
DO 3, DO 4, DO 5, and DO 6 may be used as separate DOs or in pairs (DO 3 and DO 4, DO

5 and DO 6) to control a motor as shown in the example.
NOTE: If using either a motor or DOs as auxiliary points, be sure to set MTR SETUP to
the correct value. If using a pair of DOs to control a motor, then the DOs cannot
be unbundled. Only MTR1 COMD and MTR2 COMD can be unbundled to control
the motors.
Example
If using DO 1 and DO 2 as the physical terminations for a motor, follow these steps:
1. Set MTR SETUP to 1 to enable the motor.
2. Unbundle MTR1 COMD at the field panel to command the motor from the field panel.
Contact your local Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. representative for other combinations
of DOs and motors.

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes corrective measures you can take should you encounter a problem
when using a BACnet VAV Actuator.
You are not required to do any controller troubleshooting. You may want to contact your local
Siemens Building Technologies representative if a problem occurs or you have any questions
about the controller.
NOTE: When troubleshooting, record what the problem is and what actions were
performed immediately before the problem occurred. Being able to describe the
problem in detail is important, should you need assistance from your local
Siemens Building Technologies representative.
Basic Service Information

Always remove power to the VAV Actuator when installing or replacing it. Since the controller
does not have a power switch, the recommended method of removing power to a locally
powered controller is to turn OFF the power to the 24 Vac transformer. The recommended
method of removing power to a controller on a power cable (even to service a single
controller) is to turn OFF the power at the transformer.
NOTE: When removing power to a controller to perform maintenance or service, make

sure that the person in charge of the facility is aware of this and that appropriate
steps are taken to keep the building in control.
Never remove the cover from the VAV Actuator. There are no serviceable parts inside. If a
problem is found with this device, contact your local Siemens Building Technologies
representative for replacement. An anti-static wrist strap is recommended when installing or
replacing controllers.
Preventive Maintenance
Most controller components are designed so that, under normal circumstances, they do not
require preventive maintenance. Periodic inspections, voltage checks, and point checks are
normally not required. The rugged design makes most preventive maintenance unnecessary.
However, devices that are exposed to dusty or dirty environments may require periodic
cleaning to function properly.

Troubleshooting
Safety Features
The controller board stores the controller's address, applications, and point values. In the
event of a power failure or a reset, these values are retrieved from the controller's permanent
memory and are used by the controller unless overridden by a field panel. If one of the
following conditions occurs, the controller will activate safety features present in its fail-safe
mode.
• Sensor failure.
• Loss of power. Upon controller power loss, communication with the controller is also
lost. The controller will appear as failed (*F*) at the field panel.
Controller LEDs
To determine if the controller is powered up and working, verify that the Basic Sanity Test
(BST) Light Emitting Diode (LED) is flashing ON/OFF once per second. The controller
contains seven LEDs located on the circuit board. See the Controller LED lndicators section
of Chapter 1, Product Overview for more information about LEDs.
NOTE: The TX and RX LEDs indicate communication over the FLN.
Automated Checkout
The BACnet VAV Actuator has a built-in checkout procedure that can be manually initiated at
any time after the controller has been installed. The procedure tests all of the necessary I/O
and ensures the controller has the ability to operate within the set airflow range, between
CLG FLOW MIN and CLG FLOW MAX.
To perform the checkout procedure, set CHK OUT to YES. When the procedure is
completed, CHK OUT returns to NO and the results are displayed in CHK STATUS. See
Table 3.
Table 3. Possible Failure Value and Description.
CHK STATUS Description

Values
-1 Checkout procedure has not been run since last controller initialization.
0 No errors found.
1 Room temperature sensor failed.
2 Room setpoint dial failed [If STPT DIAL is set to YES].
4 Air velocity sensor failed.
8 Controller could not reach CLG FLOW MIN or below.
16 Controller could not reach CLG FLOW MAX or above.
NOTE: Multiple failures are added together and displayed as one value. For example, if the room temperature
sensor failed (1) and the controller could not reach CLG FLOW MAX, CHK STATUS displays 17.

Failure codes indicate the following possible problems.
Room temperature sensor failed—CHK STATUS = 1
1. The cable for the room temperature sensor may be unplugged or loose. Check both ends
to ensure that the cable is securely seated.
2. Connect directly to the controller through the room temperature sensor connection on the
BACnet VAV Actuator and check whether communication is possible. If so, the problem
lies in the room temperature sensor or its cable. If not, the problem is with the controller.
3. Contact your local Siemens Building Technologies representative.
Room setpoint dial failed—CHK STATUS = 2
1. The cable for the room temperature sensor may be unplugged or loose. Check both ends
to ensure that the cable is securely seated.
2. The controller may be incorrectly set to use a setpoint dial with a sensor that does not
have the dial. If the sensor has no dial, change STPT DIAL (Point 14) from YES to NO.
3. Connect directly to the controller through the room temperature sensor connection on the
BACnet VAV Actuator and check whether communication is possible. If so, the problem
lies in the room temperature sensor or its cable. If not, the problem is with the controller.
4. Contact your local Siemens Building Technologies representative.
Air velocity sensor failed—CHK STATUS = 4
1. The sensor tubing may be blocked, leaking, or disconnected. Check for pinched,
disconnected, or cracked sensor tubing. Correct as needed.
2. The tubing connections for the air velocity sensor may be reversed. Repipe if HI and LO
connections are incorrect.
The sensor or the BACnet VAV Actuator may be faulty.
Controller could not reach CLG FLOW MIN or below—CHK STATUS = 8
1. The actuator may be loose on the shaft. Check that the setscrew is fully tightened against
the damper shaft. Follow these torque guidelines:
• 70 ± 5 inch pounds—solid metal
• 37 ± 2 inch pounds—plastic, graphite, composite, or hollow metal (Hollow metal

shafts require an insert to prevent shaft damage.)
2. The tubing for the air velocity sensor may be pinched, disconnected, or cracked. Check
the tubing and correct as needed.
3. The tubing connections for the air velocity sensor may be reversed. Repipe if HI and LO
connections are incorrect.

Troubleshooting
4. Box sizing information may be incorrect. Check the values of the following points and
correct as needed:
• DUCT AREA
• FLOW COEFF
• CLG FLOW MIN
• CLG FLOW MAX
5. Motor setup information may be incorrect. Check the values of the following points and
correct as needed:
• MTR SETUP
• MTR1 TIMING
• DMPR ROT ANG
6. The box may not have been balanced correctly. Contact your local Siemens Building
Technologies Representative.
7. The air velocity sensor may need calibration. Set CAL AIR to YES to run the calibration
sequence. When CAL AIR returns to NO, indicating that the sequence is finished, run the
checkout procedure again to see whether the problem has been corrected.
Controller could not reach CLG FLOW MAX or above—CHK STATUS = 16
1. Check for the problems described immediately above for CLG FLOW MIN.
2. The box may be starved for air, either because the central air-handling unit is off or
because of low duct static.
