AMD-xx-TD Series Damper Without a 
Factory Supplied Controller

Units ordered without a factory supplied controller are 
supplied with a standard modulating actuator. The Vari-
Green transmitter and actuator are wired to a factory 
supplied terminal block.

 Figure 1

 shows the field wiring 

side of the terminal block.

The 0-10 VDC analog output at terminals 3 and 4 comes 
from the Vari-Green transmitter and is proportional 
to the velocity going through the AMD-xx-TD. A 10 
VDC signal represents the maximum velocity that was 
selected at the time the unit was ordered. The selected 
maximum velocity and the area of the AMD-xx-TD 
are listed on a label adjacent to the terminal block. An 
example of how you can determine the velocity and/or 
cfm going through the unit is shown below.

AMD-xx-TD Series Ordered with a 
Factory Supplied Controller

When you order a factory supplied controller, it comes 
with a Greenheck exclusive VAF24-BAC-GTD actuator 
which has the controller integrate inside of it. The 
actuator/controller is configured by the factory at the 
time the unit was ordered for either analog or BACnet 
operation. This selection is made by setting the Setpoint 
Source datapoint to Local AI or BACnet. A complete list 
of all the BACnet datapoints is listed in Table 1 (page 7).
