Commissioning Field Controllers

To commission the VMA1617 or VMA1632 controller,

use the following procedure:

1.  Download the control application to the

controller using the Controller Configuration

Tool (CCT). Refer to the 

Controller Tool Help

(LIT-12011147) 

 and 

Controller Provisioning with

Tools (LIT-12013247)

 .

2.  Commission the VAV Box.

3.  Perform airflow balancing on the VAV box.

Refer to the 

VAV Balancing Tool Technical Bulletin

(LIT-12011087)

.

4.  Perform commissioning checkout procedures.

Refer to the 

Controller Tool Help (LIT-12011147) 

and 

Controller Provisioning with Tools

(LIT-12013247)

.

You commission controllers with the CCT software.

The controller can be connected in one of four

ways; either through NxE Passthru, MAP 4.2+/

BACnet Router (Mobile Access Portal (MAP)

Gateway at version 4.2 or above), through Bluetooth

(using BTCVT), or Direct Ethernet connection to

the controller. Refer to the 

Controller Tool Help

(LIT-12011147) 

 and 

Controller Provisioning with

Tools (LIT-12013247)

 for detailed information about

commissioning field controllers.

Note:

• The MAP Gateway serves as a replacement

for the BTCVT, which is no longer available

for purchase, but continues to be supported.

Repair information

If the controller fails to operate within its specifications, replace the unit. For a replacement unit, contact the

nearest Johnson Controls representative.

Troubleshooting

Table 10 provides LED status indicator information

for troubleshooting the controllers.

Note: 

If you experience short circuits in the 24

VAC power supply causing protective devices

such as breakers or fuses to trip, make sure

that the power connections on the VMA are

not reversed. The most common cause of this

problem is when the 24 VAC power supply

on the VMA is reversed but not reversed on a

connected secondary device. Improper wiring

of this power terminal may cause a short circuit

across the 24 VAC power supply on -1 models.
