In a single duct or fan-powered application, the TV-VAVB3-E2 controls airflow using the built-in airflow sensor and
internal actuator.
In a dual duct system, the TV-VAVB3-E2 controls airflow for one duct using the built-in airflow sensor and internal
actuator. For the other duct, the TV-VAVB3-E2 uses the VAV Zone II Secondary Duct, which has its own airflow
sensor and actuator. Connect the VAV Zone II Secondary Duct to the TV-VAVB3-E2
Act Net
port.
To connect duct tubes to the airflow sensor
NOTE
Tubing should be at least 2 ft. (.61 meters) long for stable airflow measurement. The combined high and
low tubing length should not exceed 16.4 ft. (5 meters) in order to ensure accurate measurements.
For a single duct system
1
Turn off the TV-VAVB3-E2's power.
2
Connect the tubes to the TV-VAVB3-E2's airflow sensor port. Then connect those tubes to the duct's high and
low pressure tubes. Avoid sharp bends in the tubing.
NOTE
You can connect the duct's high and low pressure tubes to either port. The TV-VAVB3-E2 automatically
determines the polarity and calculates for positive flow. The
Driver Properties

Flow Calibration Archive
page displays the tubes' polarity.
For a dual duct system
1
Follow the single duct procedure above to connect the TV-VAVB3-E2 to the cold duct's tubes.
2
To connect the VAV Zone II Secondary Duct to the second duct's tubes, turn off the VAV Zone II Secondary
Duct's power.
3
Connect the secondary tubes to the duct's high and low pressure tubes. Avoid sharp bends in the tubing.
NOTE
Be sure to match the high and low pressure VAV Zone II Secondary Duct airflow sensor and tubes.
