PCV1617 and PCV1632 VAV Box Controllers
Installation instructions
Applications
The PCV1617 and PCV1632 are programmable digital controllers designed for VAV box applications
that communicate through the BACnet
®
MS/TP protocol. The controllers feature an integral digital
pressure sensor, a damper actuator, and a 32-bit microprocessor. The controllers' small package
size facilitates quick field installation and efficient use of space without compromising high-tech
control performance. The PCV controllers connect easily to either the networked or to the non-
communicating sensor for zone air temperature sensing.
Communications Protocol
The PC family controllers and network sensors communicate using the standard BACnet protocol,
based on the ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2008. The BACnet protocol is a standard for ANSI, ASHRAE, and the
International Standards Organization (ISO) for building controls.
PCV field controllers are BTL-listed as BACnet Application Specific Controllers (B-ASCs).
North American Emissions Compliance
United States
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when this equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause harmful
interference, in which case the users will be required to correct the interference at their own
expense.
Canada
This Class (A) digital apparatus meets all the requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la Classe (A) respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le
matériel brouilleur du Canada.
Installation
Observe these guidelines when installing the PCV1617 and PCV1632 controllers:
• Transport the PCV controller in the original container to minimize vibration and shock damage to
the PCV controller.
• Do not drop the PCV controller or subject it to physical shock.
