(for 90° VAV boxes). For 45° and 60° VAV

boxes, the actuator stroke time must be

adjusted. Refer to the 

Controller Tool Help

(LIT-12011147)

 for instructions on setting

the actuator stroke time in the application.

7.  Tighten the square coupler bolt to the shaft

using an 8 mm (5/16 in.) wrench or 10 mm (3/8

in.) 12-point socket. Tighten to 10.5 to 11.5 N·m

(95 to 105 lb·in).

8.  Loop the pneumatic tubing to include a trap for

condensation. If needed, use the included brass

fittings and attach the included pieces of tubing

to the tubing of the VMA controller. Attach the

tubing from the VMA controller to the dual port

fitting on the VMA controller and the other ends

of the tubing to the pressure transducer in the

VAV box application (Figure 1). The VMA1826

does not come with the tubing pieces.

Note: 

The VMA uses a digital non-flow

pressure sensor with bidirectional flow

operation, which allows the high- and

low-pressure DP tube connections to

be made to either barbed fitting on the

VMA controller. You do not need to make

a specific high- or low-side connection

when you attach the tubing to the barbed

fittings on the VMA.

9.  Push the manual release button, and turn the

actuator coupling manually to ensure that the

actuator can rotate from full-closed to full-open

positions without binding.

10.  Complete the mounting by rotating the damper

to the full-open position.

 CAUTION

Risk of Property Damage

Rotate the damper to the full-open position before

starting the air handler. Failure to rotate the damper to

the full-open position may result in damage to the VAV

box or ductwork when the air handler is started.

 ATTENTION

Mise En Garde: Risque de dégâts matériels

Faire pivoter le registre pour le placer en position

d'ouverture complète avant de démarrer l'unité de

traitement d'air. Le non-respect de cette directive

risque d'endommager le caisson de l'unité à volume

d'air variable (VAV) ou le réseau de conduites au dé-

marrage de l'unité de traitement d'air.

Wiring

 WARNING

Risk of Electric Shock

Disconnect the power supply before making electrical

connections to avoid electric shock.

 AVERTISSEMENT

Mise En Garde: Risque de décharge électrique:

Débrancher l'alimentation avant de réaliser tout rac-

cordement électrique afin d'éviter tout risque de

décharge

Important: 

Do not connect supply power

to the controller before finishing wiring and

checking all wiring connections. Short circuits

or improperly connected wires can result

in damage to the controller and void any

warranty.

Important: 

Do not exceed the controller

electrical ratings. Exceeding controller electrical

ratings can result in permanent damage to the

controller and void any warranty.

Important: 

Use copper conductors only. Make

all wiring in accordance with local, national, and

regional regulations.

Important: 

Electrostatic discharge can

damage controller components. Use proper

electrostatic discharge precautions during

installation, setup, and servicing to avoid

damaging the controller.
