FX-PCV1826/1832 Programmable VAV Box
Controller Installation Instructions
Applications
FX-PCV1826 controllers are well-suited for commercial zoning applications and can be used
for pressure dependent VAV box applications where no differential pressure tranduser (DPT) is
required.
Note:
At Controller Configuration Tool (CCT) 13.0 or later, using Release Mode 10.1, the PCV18
Series controllers can be configured as either N2 devices or as standard BACnet
®
MS/TP
devices. This ability provides a potential cost-effective protocol upgrade path for existing
customers and should be considered when you install the controller.
Important:
When you receive an FX-PCV18 Series controller from the factory or upgrade the
firmware or main code, the controller defaults to using the MS/TP communications protocol.
The Load Summary screen of CCT shows the connection as
Wired Field Bus
, indicating that
the MS/TP protocol is in use. If you have an N2 application, the Load Summary screen indicates
that you need to switch the communications protocol to N2.
These FX-PCV controllers feature an integral digital pressure sensor (FX-PCV1832 model only), a
damper actuator, and a 32-bit microprocessor. The controller's small package size facilitates quick
field installation and efficient use of space for field replacements, while still enabling precision
control performance.
Note:
Connecting an FX-PCX to the FX-PCV via the SA Bus connection is not supported.
