OVERVIEW
System Features
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
Variable Air Volume Unit
The VCCX2 Controller can control VAV units that are typically
designed for occupied Cooling Mode only, where VAV boxes
equipped with reheat satisfy heating demands in individual
spaces. In this application, unit heat is typically used for Morning
Warm-Up. Morning Cool-Down is also available. The controller
can be configured to control the supply fan VFD to maintain a
Duct Static Pressure Setpoint.
The VCCX2 can also control VAV units that may require
Occupied Heating operation to “temper” the outdoor air if it is
too cold outside for the mixed air to maintain the Cooling Supply
Air Setpoint.
Constant Air Volume Unit
The VCCX2 Controller can be configured for Constant Volume
applications that are typically Space Temperature or Return Air
Temperature controlled.
The VCCX2 can also be used for restaurant kitchen or lab
applications that are 100% outdoor air part of the time and
Recirculating Air part of the time. A Hood On binary input
forces the VCCX2 to switch to 100% outdoor air control based
on an Exhaust Hood Switch activation. The VCCX2 requires
Outdoor and Indoor Air Temperature (and Humidity) Sensors
to accomplish this application.
Single Zone VAV
This is a hybrid CAV/VAV application for a unit serving a single
space and using Space Temperature Setpoints to enable Heating
and Cooling Modes. Heating and cooling are controlled to their
respective Supply Air Setpoints while the supply fan modulates
to maintain the Space Temperature Setpoints. Single Zone VAV
applications can be configured for VAV Cooling and either VAV
or CAV Heating. Single Zone VAV operation requires the use of
modulating heating or cooling sources.
Space Temperature Control of High
Percentage Outdoor Air Units
This application allows the unit to be configured to use the space
temperature to initiate Cooling and Heating Modes on units that
are high percentage outdoor air or 100% outdoor air units. Before
entering the Space Vent Mode, the VCCX2 will first determine if
the Outdoor Air Temperature is above or below special Outdoor
Air Cooling and Heating Setpoints. If so, the unit will leave
stages of cooling or heating on as necessary to achieve a neutral
Supply Air Temperature – thus avoiding dumping very hot or
cold air into the space.
Make-Up Air Unit
The VCCX2 can be configured for 100% Outdoor Air control
for Make-Up Air units. All HVAC Modes are determined from
the Outdoor Temperature and Humidity Sensors. The Outdoor
Air Volume should be at least 50% or higher to be configured
for Outdoor Air control.
AAON® Return Air Bypass Control
This control scheme can only be used on Constant Volume
HVAC units that are equipped with a Return Air Bypass Damper
and that use Space Temperature and Humidity Sensors as the
controlling sensors.
AAON® Return Air Bypass Control provides improved moisture
removal capabilities while utilizing internal space loads for
reheat by redirecting Return Air from the upstream side of the
DX Evaporator Coil to the downstream side of the coil during
Dehumidification.
Zone Voting
The VCCX2 can be configured to be the unit controller in a
zone voting system where the individual zones vote to put the
unit into occupied Cooling or Heating Mode. To be used in this
application, Orion zone controllers must also be used in order to
allow communication between the zones and the VCCX2. Duct
Static Pressure Control can be accomplished with a supply fan
VFD or a bypass damper.

VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
General
Correct wiring of the VCCX2 Controller is the most important
factor in the overall success of the controller installation process.
In general, most VCCX2 Controllers are factory installed and
wired at the AAON® factory. It is also possible to purchase
these controllers through your local AAON® representative
for installation in the field. Some of the following information
pertains to field wiring and may not apply to your installation if
it was pre-wired at the factory. However, if troubleshooting of
the controller is required, it is a good idea to be familiar with the
system wiring, no matter if it was factory or field wired.
Controller Mounting
When the controller is to be field mounted, it is important to
mount the controller in a location that is free from extreme high
or low temperatures, moisture, dust, and dirt. See Table 1, this
page for a list of the required operating conditions for the VCCX2
Controller and associated expansion modules.
The VCCX2 Controller is housed in a plastic enclosure. It is
designed to be mounted by using the three mounting holes in
the enclosure base. The VCCX2 Controller needs to be installed
in an environment which can maintain a temperature range
between -22°F and 158°F not to exceed 95% RH levels (non-
condensing). Be careful not to damage the electronic components
when mounting the controller.
Wiring
The VCCX2 Controller and expansion modules must be
connected to a 24 VAC power source of the proper size for the
calculated VA load requirements. All transformer sizing should
be based on the VA rating listed in Table 1, this page.
Please carefully read and apply the following information when
wiring the VCCX2 Controller, RSMs, and Expansion Modules.
1. All wiring is to be in accordance with local and
national electrical codes and specifications.
2. All 24 VAC wiring must be connected so that all
ground wires remain common. Failure to follow this
procedure can result in damage to the controller and
connected devices.
3. Minimum wire size for 24 VAC wiring should be
18-gauge.
4. Minimum wire size for all sensors should be 24-gauge.
Some sensors require two-conductor wire and some
require three-or four-conductor wire.
5. Minimum wire size for 24 VAC thermostat wiring
should be 22-gauge.
6. Be sure that all wiring connections are properly
inserted and tightened into the terminal blocks. Do
not allow wire strands to stick out and touch adjoining
terminals which could potentially cause a short circuit.
7. When communication wiring is to be used to
interconnect VCCX2 Controllers together or to
connect to other communication devices, all wiring
must be plenum-rated, minimum 18-gauge, two-
conductor, twisted pair with shield. AAON can supply
communication wire that meets this specification and
is color coded for the network or local loop. Please
consult your AAON distributor for information. If
desired, Belden #82760 or equivalent wire may also
be used.
8. Before applying power to the VCCX2 Controller,
be sure to recheck all wiring connections and
terminations thoroughly.
Powering Up
When the VCCX2 and connected modules are first powered
up, the POWER LED should light up and stay on continuously.
If it does not light up, check to be sure that you have 24 VAC
connected to the controller, that the wiring connections are tight,
and that they are wired for the correct polarity. The 24 VAC power
must be connected so that all ground wires remain common. If
after making all these checks, the POWER LED does not light
up, please contact AAON Controls Support for assistance.

Building Pressure Control Output
The Building Pressure Control Output is a 0-10 VDC or 2-10
VDC signal sent from the VCCX2 Controller. When using the
output for direct building pressure control (output signal rises on
a rise in building pressure), the output signal can be connected to
either a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) controlling an exhaust
fan or to a damper actuator controlling an exhaust damper
(both by others). When used in this manner, the output signal
must be configured for direct acting operation. See Figure 23,
this page for detailed wiring of the Building Pressure Control
Output Signal.
When using this output for Reverse Building Pressure Control
(output signal rises on a fall in building pressure), a damper
actuator controlling an OA damper or supply fan VFD would
be used.
When using the OA damper for Reverse Building Pressure
Control, the output signal must be configured for reverse acting
operation. A building pressure sensor connected to AI5 on the
VCCX2 Controller is used to sense and control the signal to the
building pressure output. The Building Static Pressure Sensor
must be connected in order for the building pressure output to
operate correctly.
CAUTION: VFD units can cause large transient noise spikes
that can cause interference to be propagated
on other electronic equipment. Use shielded
wire wherever possible and route all sensor
and controller wiring away from the VFD and

Suction Pressure Transducer
The ASM02222 Suction Pressure Transducer must be wired as
shown in Figure 32, page 51. It is required for all compressorized
VCCX2 applications.
The Suction Pressure Transducer is used to measure suction
pressure at the HVAC unit’s DX evaporator coil suction line.
This suction line pressure is converted to saturated refrigerant
temperature by the RSMV Controller. This temperature is used
by the RSMV to accurately control the expansion valves to
maintain Superheat. The Saturated Refrigerant Temperature is
used to properly control the compressors to maintain a given
Suction Coil (Saturated) Temperature Setpoint. In Cooling and
Heat Pump Mode, the VCCX2 resets the Suction Coil (Saturated)
Temperature Setpoint to maintain a given Supply Air Temperature
Setpoint. In Dehumidification Mode, the Suction Coil (Saturated)
Temperature Setpoint is a user configurable setpoint that does
not reset.
Head Pressure Control
The RSMV can monitor a Head Pressure Transducer and control
condenser fans to maintain a Head Pressure Setpoint. The
condenser fan will be controlled with a 0-10 VDC output signal.
Coil Temperature Sensors
The Coil Temperature sensors are used to measure Coil
Temperature after each evaporator coil line. This temperature
combined with the calculated Saturated Refrigerant Temperature
is used to calculate the Superheat of each individual evaporator
coil. The Superheat is used to drive the expansion valves to
maintain a given Superheat Setpoint.
CAUTION: The Shraeder port used for installation of the
suction pressure transducer should be located
in a vertical position of the suction line to
prevent refrigerant oil from accumulating in
the sensor.

PREHEAT-X and PREHEAT-X-EXT
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
Before Applying Power
In order to have a trouble free start-up, it is important to follow a
few simple procedures. Before applying power for the first time,
it is very important to run through a few simple checks.
Power Wiring
One of the most important checks to make before powering up
the system for the first time is to confirm proper voltage and
transformer sizing for each controller. Each VCCX2 Controller
requires 15 VA of power delivered to it at 24 VAC. You may
use separate transformers for each device (preferred) or power
several devices from a common transformer.
WARNING:
Observe Polarity! All boards must be wired
with GND-to-GND and 24 VAC-to-24
VAC. Failure to observe polarity will result
in damage to one or more of the boards.
Check all wiring leads at the terminal block for tightness. Be sure
that wire strands do not stick out and touch adjacent terminals.
Confirm that all sensors required for your system are mounted
in the appropriate location and wired into the correct terminals
on the VCCX2 Controller.
After all the above wiring checks are complete, apply power to
the VCCX2 Controller.
Configuring the Controller
The next step is configuring the controller for your specific
requirements. In order to configure the VCCX2 Controller, you
must use an operator interface. Four different operator interfaces
are available for programming and monitoring of the VCCX2
Controller. See Figure 45, this page. They are as follows:
• Modular Service Tool SD
• Modular System Manager SD
• PC with Prism 2 Software installed and CommLink 5
• System Manager TS-L (Touch Screen - Limited Access)
Any of these devices or a combination of them can be used to
access the status, configuration, and setpoints of any controller
on your communications loop.
If using the Modular Service Tool SD or the Modular System
Manager SD for programming, refer to the VCCX2 Controller
Operator Interface SD Technical Guide. If using a computer
and the Prism 2 software for programming, refer to the Prism 2
Technical Guide.
If using the System Manager TS-L for monitoring, please see
the System Manager TS-L Technical Guide.
No matter which operator interface you use, we recommend that
you proceed with the programming and setup of the VCCX2
Controller in the order that follows:
1. Configure the controller for your application.
2. Program the controller setpoints.
3. Program the controller operation schedules.
4. Set the controller current time and date.
5. Review the controller status screens to verify system
operation and correct controller configuration.

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
VCCX2 Controller and EM1 Module Input/Output Maps
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
VCCX2 Controller Inputs
AI1 - Space Temperature Sensor Input
The Space Temperature Sensor will initiate Occupied Heating and
Cooling modes if the unit is configured for Space Temperature
control. It is always the sensor used to initiate Unoccupied
Heating and Cooling modes. If the Space Temperature Sensor
used is equipped with the optional Push-Button Override feature,
this input will detect user overrides and switch the unit from the
Unoccupied Mode back to the Occupied Mode operation for a
user-adjustable amount of time. The Space Temperature can
also be configured to reset the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
AI2 - Space Temperature Sensor Slide Adjust
If the Space Temperature Sensor being used has the optional
Slide Adjust feature, its AUX output is connected to this input.
The Slide Adjust control is used to vary the HVAC Mode Heating
and Cooling Setpoints by a user-configured maximum amount.
If the Space Temperature is configured as the SAT Reset Source,
the Slide Adjustment adjusts both the HVAC Mode Enable
Heating and Cooling Setpoints and the SAT Reset Source Heating
and Cooling Setpoints simultaneously by a user-configurable
maximum amount.
AI3 - Supply Air Temperature (SAT) Sensor
Input
Once the unit is in the Heating or Cooling Mode (based on the
temperature at the mode enable sensor), the unit will control
the staging or modulation of the heating or cooling sources to
maintain a Heating or Cooling SAT Setpoint. The HVAC unit
must always have a SAT Sensor installed.
AI4 - Return Air Temperature Sensor Input
If you want to generate occupied Heating and Cooling demands
based on Return Air Temperature, select this sensor as the HVAC
Mode Enable Sensor. The Return Air Temperature Sensor is also
used to initiate or cancel the Morning Warm-up / Cool-down
Period on VAV-configured units. If the Return Air Temperature
Sensor is connected, the Outdoor Air Temperature must be at
least 5°F below the Return Air Temperature to allow Economizer
Cooling operation.
AI5 - Building Static Pressure Sensor Input
This Sensor is only required if you wish to configure the VCCX2
Controller for Building Pressure Control. Building Pressure
Control can be accomplished by using one of two main control
methods. One control method uses the 0-10 VDC signal to control
an Exhaust Fan VFD or an Exhaust Damper Actuator for Direct
Acting Pressure Control applications. In addition, for Reverse
Acting Pressure Control applications, it can control an Outdoor
Air Damper Actuator (or in certain cases, the VFD Supply
Fan). The other available control method is to configure one of
the output relays as an exhaust fan output that will activate the
exhaust fan any time the building pressure is above the Building
Pressure Setpoint.
AI6 - Remote Supply Air Temperature Reset
Signal
If a Remote SAT Reset Signal is configured as the Reset Source,
this input can be used to accept a configurable voltage input
between 0-10 VDC (Direct or Reverse Acting) to reset the
SAT Setpoint. See the SAT Reset section in the Sequence of
Operations for more details.
AI7 - Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor Input
The Outdoor Air Temperature is used to lock out Heating or
Cooling to conserve energy at whatever temperature you deem
appropriate for each Mode of Operation. This sensor is also
used to initiate Heating and Cooling modes on a Make Up Air
unit. The Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor can also be used for
Preheater operation and for Low Ambient Protection operation.
NOTE: For AI1, AI3, AI4 and AI7, all Temperature Sensors
must be Thermistor Type III which provide 77.0°F
@ 10K ohms resistance.
AI8 - Supply Duct Static Pressure Sensor
Input
This jack-style input connection accepts a Duct Static Pressure
Sensor modular cable input. The Duct Static Pressure Sensor
reading is used to determine current Duct Static Pressure. This
Static Pressure reading is used to control the output signal
supplied to the Supply Fan VFD or Zoning Bypass Damper
Actuator. If you have configured the HVAC unit for Constant
Volume operation, this sensor is optional. If it is installed on
a Constant Volume unit, it can be used for filter loading VFD
control or used for a status-only reading.
BIN1 - Proof of Flow Input
A Proof of Flow Switch (by others) that provides a wet contact
closure whenever the HVAC unit Supply Fan is operating can
be connected to this input. If the Proof of Flow Switch contact
opens while the Supply Fan is operating, all Heating and Cooling
is suspended or disabled.
BIN2 - Dirty Filter Contact Closure Input
This wet contact input is required for Filter Status Indication
and requires a Differential Pressure Switch to initiate a Dirty
Filter alarm.
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
VCCX2 Controller Inputs
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
BIN3 - Hood On/Off Input
When this wet contact input closes (Hood On), the VCCX2
Controller switches from Indoor Air Control to Outdoor Air
Control. This is typically used on CAV applications requiring
CAV/MUA Dual Damper (Hood On/Off) Modes.
BIN4 - Remote Forced Occupied Mode Input
When this wet contact input closes, it will force the VCCX2
Controller into the Occupied Mode. When the Remote Forced
Occupied Signal is removed, the controller will revert to the
Unoccupied Mode of operation if no internal or external schedule
has been configured or is in effect when this occurs.
NOTE: If Remote Forced operation is used, it must apply
to Cooling, Heating, and Dehumidification. The
unit must be configured for Mode Set By Remote
Contact.
BIN5 - Remote Forced Cooling Mode Input
A wet contact closure on this input is used to provide a means
for another BAS or control device (by others) to force the unit
into Cooling Mode.
BIN6 - Remote Forced Heating Mode Input
A wet contact closure on this input is used to provide a means
for another BAS or control device (by others) to force the unit
into Heating Mode.
BIN7 - Remote Forced Dehumidification Input
A wet contact closure on this input is used to provide a means for
another BAS or control device (by others) to force the VCCX2
Controller into Dehumidification Mode.
BIN8 - Emergency Shutdown Input
This wet contact input is used to initiate shutdown of the HVAC
unit when a normally closed Smoke Detector (by others), Firestat
(by others), or other shutdown condition (by others) contact is
opened. The controller remains active and can initiate alarm
relays.
NOTE: The binary inputs require wet contacts (24
VAC only) to recognize an active input. If you
provide dry contacts, the contact closure will not
be recognized. All binary inputs are optional.
This means that you must configure the VCCX2
Controller to recognize these input signals.
VCCX2 Controller Outputs
AO1 - Main Supply Fan VFD Control Signal or
Bypass Damper Control Signal
This user-adjustable voltage signal is used to modulate the Supply
Fan VFD in VAV, Single Zone VAV, Filter Loading applications,
or Reverse Acting Building Pressure Control using the VFD. In
a VVT Zoning application, this output would be used to control
a Bypass Damper.
AO2 - Outdoor Air Damper Economizer Control
Signal or Waterside Economizer Valve Signal
Outdoor Air Damper Economizer Control Signal
This user-adjustable voltage signal is used to control the Outdoor
Air Damper during Economizer operation. It is also used to
maintain the Outdoor Air Damper at its minimum position during
Occupied Mode when the Outdoor Air Temperature is not suitable
for Economizer cooling purposes. This minimum position can
be reset based on CO2 override conditions.
This output is also used to control the Outdoor Air Damper based
on an Outdoor Airflow Setpoint if using an Outdoor Airflow
Monitoring station. This position can be overridden during
Economizer Control.
Finally, this output can be used to control the Outdoor Air Damper
during Reverse Acting Building Pressure Control to maintain a
Building Pressure Setpoint.
Waterside Economizer Valve Signal
This 2-10 VDC signal is used to modulate the Waterside
Economizer valve during Waterside Economizer operation.
AO3 - Modulating Heat Control Signal
This output can be configured with a user-adjustable voltage
range of operation which can be set up to provide either a direct
or reverse acting operation. This output is used to operate a
modulating heating device to maintain the Heating Supply Air
Setpoint during the Heat Mode of operation.
AO4 - Exhaust Fan VFD Signal / Building
Pressure Control Signal
This user-adjustable voltage signal is used to provide Direct
Acting Building Pressure Control using an Exhaust Fan VFD
or a modulating Exhaust Damper.
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
VCCX2 Controller Outputs

configuration options, see Table 4, page 69.
VCC-X EM1 Expansion Module
T1 - Entering Water Temperature Sensor Input
The Entering Water is used to determine when to initiate
Waterside Economizer operation. If the unit is in Cooling Mode
and the Entering Water Temperature drops 10˚F (adj.) below the
Entering Air Temperature, the unit will begin to modulate the
Waterside Economizer Valve as part of the cooling operation.
See Waterside Economizer (page 87) for a full description of
this operation.
SIG1 - Return Air Plenum Pressure Sensor
Input
The sensor is only required when controlling a motorized exhaust
damper to maintain the Return Air Plenum Pressure Setpoint.
SIG3 - Economizer Feedback
If Title 24 Economizer operation has been configured, this
input will be used for the 2-10 VDC Feedback Signal from the
Economizer actuator.
Exhaust Duct Static Pressure Sensor Input
This jack-style input connection accepts a Duct Static Pressure
Sensor modular connector input used for Exhaust Duct Static
Pressure Control. This Static Pressure reading is used to control
the output signal (AO4 on the VCCX2 Controller) supplied to
the Exhaust Fan VFD.
BIN 1 - Return/Exhaust Proof of Flow
A Proof of Flow Switch that provides a wet contact closure
whenever the HVAC unit Return Fan or Exhaust Fan is operating
can be connected to this input.
AOUT1 - Modulating Chilled Water Valve
Actuator
This output is used to control a Modulating Chilled Water Valve
Actuator to maintain the Cooling Supply Air Temperature
Setpoint. This output provides a 0-10 or 2-10 VDC direct acting
signal.
AOUT2 - Return Air Damper Actuator Signal
This output signal is a direct acting 2-10 VDC output signal that
is used to modulate a Return Air Damper Actuator in conjunction
with a Return Air Bypass Damper Actuator for AAON® Precise
Air Control (PAC) or Digital Precise Air Control (D-PAC)
applications.
AOUT3 - Return Air Bypass Damper Actuator
Signal
This output signal is a direct acting 2-10 VDC output signal
that is used to modulate a Return Air Bypass Damper Actuator
in conjunction with a Return Air Damper Actuator for AAON®
Precise Air Control (PAC) or Digital Precise Air Control (D-PAC)
applications.
AOUT4 - Motorized Exhaust Damper Actuator
Signal
This output signal is a direct acting 2-10 VDC output signal that
is used to modulate the Motorized Exhaust Damper Actuator.
R1-R5 - User-Configurable Relays
These relays are configurable by the user. For all the available
configuration options, see Table 4, page 69.
12 Relay E-BUS Expansion Module
Please refer to the user-configurable relays in Table 4, page 69
for relay definitions.
NOTE: For Reverse Acting Building Pressure Control
using the Outdoor Air Damper or Supply Fan
VFD, the VCCX2 Controller will use the outputs
specific to those devices. On the main VCCX2
Controller, AO2 would control the Outdoor Air
Damper and AO1 would control the Supply Fan
VFD to maintain the Building Pressure Setpoint.
Alternatively, this AO4 output will mirror those
outputs and can be used as well.

VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
Supply Fan Operation
Any time the Supply Fan is requested to start, a one-minute
minimum off timer must be satisfied. If the timer is satisfied, the
Supply Fan relay is activated while all other outputs are held off
until their minimum off timers have been met.
Upon going into the Occupied Mode or upon power-up, the
controller will initiate a user-adjustable Fan Starting Delay to
provide a staggered start for systems with several HVAC units.
In Fan Cycle Mode or when going unoccupied, the Supply Fan
is held on for 10 seconds after Cooling has staged off or after
Leaving Vent Mode and 90 seconds after the Heating has staged
off.
Purge Mode
When going into Occupied Mode, an optional “Purge Mode”
is initiated. The fan runs with the Economizer closed, and all
Cooling and Heating is de-energized. The length of the Purge
Mode is user-adjustable.
Occupied Mode
The Supply Fan can be configured to run continuously (default)
or to cycle with Heating, Cooling, or Dehumidification.
Unoccupied Mode
Upon going Unoccupied, the Cooling or Heating will turn off
immediately. The Fan will then turn off in 30 to 60 seconds.
Typically, thereafter, the Supply Fan will cycle on a call for
Heating, Cooling, or Dehumidification. The Supply Fan can also
be configured for continuous operation during Unoccupied Mode.
HVAC Source Configuration Options
The VCCX2 Controller can be configured to have various
HVAC Source options that will determine the mode of operation
(Heating, Cooling, or Vent Mode) of the unit. The following are
descriptions of those options.
Space Temperature—Typical selection for CAV recirculating
units.
Return Air Temperature—Optional selection for CAV
recirculating units.
Single Zone VAV—Selected for a Space Temperature
controlled Single Zone VAV application.
Outdoor Air Temperature—Typical selection for 100%
Outdoor Air (MUA) or High Percentage Outdoor Air units.
Supply Air Temperature—Selected for Cooling Only. VAV
units with optional Morning Warm-Up/Cool-Down.
Supply Air Tempering—Selected for VAV units maintaining
a Cooling Setpoint with Cooling or Heating as required that may
need heat to temper the Supply Air Temperature during very
cold conditions.
Space Temperature with High Outdoor Air %— Provides
Space Temperature (instead of Outdoor Air Temperature) control
of 100% or high percentage Outdoor Air units by tempering the
air during the Space Vent Mode of operation to prevent dumping
of hot or cold air into the space.
HVAC Mode Set by Remote Contact— Provides for wet
contact closures to force the unit into Heating, Cooling, and
Dehumidification modes. If this option is selected, it applies to
all three modes, and all three modes will only be initiated by
these contact closures. If both the Heating and Cooling contacts
are made, the unit will be in the Vent mode.
Occupied/Unoccupied Mode of
Operation
The VCCX2 Controller can utilize several methods for
determining the Occupied Mode of Operation. These are as
follows:
• Forced Schedule
• Remote Forced Occupied Signal
• Internal Week Schedule
• Push-Button Override Signal
• Broadcast Week Schedule from GPC-XP
The VCCX2 Controller can be forced into the Occupied Mode
by inputting a Forced Schedule from any operator interface.
Remote Forced Occupied Signal
This Forced Occupied Input can be used in place of, or in
conjunction with, the internal VCCX2 schedule. When this wet
contact input closes, it will force the VCCX2 Controller into the
Occupied Mode. When the Remote Forced Occupied Signal is
removed, the controller will revert to the Unoccupied Mode of
operation, or if an internal VCCX2 schedule is also being used,
it will revert back to the current scheduled mode.
Setting the Internal Week Schedule to ‘0’ will cause the
controller to only look for the Remote Forced Occupied Signal
for Occupied/Unoccupied commands.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Supply Fan and Occupied/Unoccupied Operation
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
Internal Week Schedule
An Internal Week Schedule, which supports up to two start/stop
events per day and allows scheduling of up to 14 holiday periods
per year is available for determining Occupied and Unoccupied
schedules. It also allows for daylight saving configuration.
Broadcast Schedule
Eight external broadcast schedules are available with use of the
GPC-XP Controller.
Unoccupied Operation
Uses Unoccupied Setback Offset Setpoints for heating and
cooling calls. If Unoccupied Setback Setpoints are left at the
default 30°F, no Unoccupied Setback operation will occur and
the unit will be off.
The Outdoor Air Damper will be closed except if the unit is in
unoccupied Economizer Free Cooling Mode.
If there is no call for Heating or Cooling, the unit will be off.
HVAC Modes of Operation
There are eight possible HVAC Modes of Operation. They are
as follows:
• Cooling Mode

Cooling Mode
Occupied Cooling is enabled when the temperature at the Mode
Enable Sensor rises one deadband above the Cooling Setpoint.
Cooling is disabled when the Mode Enable Temperature falls
one deadband below the Cooling Setpoint. The setpoint and
deadband are user-adjustable.
Unoccupied Cooling operation is enabled when the Space
Temperature rises above the Cooling Mode Enable Setpoint plus
the Unoccupied Cooling Offset.
Mechanical cooling is disabled if the Outdoor Air Temperature
(OAT) falls 1°F below the Cooling Lockout Setpoint and will
remain disabled until the OAT rises 1°F above the Cooling
Lockout Setpoint.
If the OAT disables mechanical cooling while it is currently
operating, mechanical cooling will stage off as minimum run
times and stage down delays are satisfied.
If the economizer is enabled, it will function as the first stage of
cooling (page 73).
Cooling with the Refrigerant System Modules
(RSMs)
On units with digital or VFD compressors, the VCCX2 Controller
will utilize one or more Refrigerant System Modules (RSMs).
Units with only fixed staged compressors that are doing
dehumidification or that require head pressure control would
also utilize an RSM. Each RSM will control the compressors,
condensers, and EXVs (on Bitzer VFD compressor units) for
one or two refrigeration circuits. Up to four RSMs may be used
in controlling up to eight circuits.
The RSMD is used for digital compressor units, including heat
pumps. The RSMV is used for Bitzer VFD compressor units (non
heat pumps). The RSMV-HP is used for Bitzer VFD compressor
units that are heat pumps. The RSMVC-P is used for Copeland
VFD compressor units.
In Cooling Mode, as the Supply Air Temperature (SAT)
rises above the Active Cooling SAT Setpoint (page 80), the
compressors will stage on and modulate to maintain the Active
Supply Air Cooling Setpoint. Each RSM will independently
control its compressors to achieve the most efficient cooling
control. Each stage must meet its Minimum Off Time (adj.)
before it is allowed to energize. Successive stages are subject to
a Cooling Stage Up Delay (adj).
Cooling stages will continue to run until the SAT falls below
the Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint minus the Cooling
Stage Control Window and the cooling will begin to stage off.
Each stage must meet its Minimum Run Time (adj.) before it is
allowed to stage off. Successive stages are subject to a Cooling
Stage Down Delay (adj.). See the appropriate RSM Technical
Guide for a more detailed sequence of operation.
Staged Cooling without the Refrigerant
System Modules (RSMs)
An RSM will not be used on units with fixed stage compressors
that are not doing dehumidification and that do not require head
pressure control, or on units with On/Off Chilled Water.
In Cooling Mode, as the Supply Air Temperature (SAT) rises
above the Active Supply Air Cooling Setpoint (page 80), cooling
will begin to stage on. Each stage must meet its Minimum Off
Time (adj.) before it is allowed to energize, and successive stages
are subject to a Cooling Stage Up Delay (adj).

Cooling stages will continue to run until the SAT falls below the
Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint minus the Cooling Stage
Control Window at which point the cooling will begin to stage
off. Each stage must meet its Minimum Run Time (adj.) before
it is allowed to stage off and successive stages are subject to a
Cooling Stage Down Delay (adj.).
Modulating Chilled Water Cooling Control
In the Cooling Mode, as the Supply Air Temperature (SAT) rises
above the Active Supply Air Cooling Setpoint (page 80). The
Modulating Cooling Proportional Window is used to determine
the signal to the Chilled Water Valve and is user-adjustable. The
Modulating Cooling signal is calculated based on the differential
between the Supply Air Temperature and the Active Supply
Air Temperature Setpoint based on the Modulating Cooling
Proportional Window.
The Maximum Signal Adjustment per time period is 10% and is
not user-adjustable. The Minimum Signal Adjustment per time
period is based on the Modulating Cooling Proportional Window.
The larger the Modulating Cooling Proportional Window, the
smaller the signal adjustment will be per time period. The time
period is the delay between another increase or decrease in
the Chilled Water Cooling Signal and is user-adjustable. For
example, if the Modulating Cooling Proportional Window is
5°F, the signal would adjust 2% per °F each time period above
or below the Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint. When the
Supply Air Temperature is above or below the Active Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint by 5°F or more, the signal would adjust
10% each time period.

Economizer Operation (Standard)
NOTE: For Waterside Economizer Operation, see page
87.
Economizer operation is enabled when the Outdoor Air
(OA) drybulb, wetbulb, or dewpoint temperature falls below
the Economizer Enable Setpoint by 1°F and if the Outdoor
Temperature is at least 5°F below the Return Air Temperature (if
that value is available). Economizer operation is disabled when
the OA temperature rises 1°F above the Economizer Enable
Setpoint.
The Economizer acts as the 1st stage of cooling and controls
to the Active Supply Air Cooling Setpoint. An Economizer
Minimum Position can be programmed into the controller. During
Economizer Operation, the economizer will modulate between
this minimum position and 100%. If the economizer reaches
100% for two minutes and the Supply Air Temperature is still
above setpoint, mechanical cooling is then allowed to stage up
while the economizer is held at the full open position. Any time
cooling stages are currently running, and the economizer becomes
enabled, it will immediately open to 100%.
During Heat and Vent Modes, the Economizer will remain at
its minimum position. The only exception to this can occur
during VAV Operation with Outdoor Air Temperature Control
(VAV Tempering) (page 85). During Unoccupied Mode, the
Economizer can be used for night setback free cooling; otherwise
it will remain closed.
IAQ (CO2) Override of the Economizer simply resets the
Economizer Minimum Position higher. See IAQ (CO2) Control
Operation section for more details.
If utilizing the Title 24 Economizer option, an Economizer
Feedback Signal (0-10 VDC) can be wired into the VCC-X EM1
Expansion Module for status monitoring. Several Title 24 alarm
conditions can also be displayed and are listed in the Alarms
section of this manual.
Economizer Override Via BACnet®
As stated above, the economizer must reach and remain at 100%
before compressors will be allowed to stage on to meet the
Cooling Supply Air Setpoint. Because of this 100% requirement,
if a value of less than 100% is written to BACnet® point AV:70
(Outdoor Air Damper Override) while compressors are operating,
the controller effectively recognizes this as the economizer being
active at less than 100% – so the compressor(s) will disable.
To avoid the economizer being disabled but compressors
are enabled, AV: 49 (Minimum Economizer Position) can be
used. This will change the minimum position, while allowing
compressors to remain on. However, if using AV:49 and the
economizer operation is enabled, the damper can open more than
the minimum position for true economizer operation.
Comparative Enthalpy Economizer
Operation
A Comparative Enthalpy Economizer option is also available.
The E-BUS Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Sensor and the
E-BUS Return Air Temperature/Humidity Sensor must be used
for this operation to be available. If the Outdoor Enthalpy is
below the Comparative Economizer Enable Setpoint by the
Comparative Economizer Enable Deadband amount, and the
Outdoor Enthalpy is less than the Return Air Enthalpy by the
Comparative Economizer Enable Deadband amount, then
Economizer Operation will be enabled to act as the first stage of
Cooling. If the Outdoor Enthalpy rises above the Comparative
Economizer Enable Setpoint by the Comparative Economizer
Enable Deadband amount or if the Outdoor Enthalpy rises above
the Return Air Enthalpy by the Comparative Economizer Enable
Deadband amount, then Economizer Operation will be disabled.

VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
Dehumidification Mode
On VAV, CAV, Single Zone VAV, and High Percentage Outdoor
Units with Space Temperature Control, the Dehumidification
Mode is initiated when the Indoor Humidity rises above the
Indoor Humidity High Reset Source Setpoint. The unit will leave
the Dehumidification Mode when the humidity falls below the
Indoor Humidity Low Reset Source Setpoint.
On 100% Outdoor Air (MUA) units with Outdoor Air
Temperature Control, Dehumidification is initiated when the
Outdoor Air Dewpoint rises above the Outdoor Air Dewpoint
Setpoint by 2°F. The unit will leave the Dehumidification Mode
when the humidity falls 2°F below this setpoint. The Outdoor
Air Dewpoint is calculated using the Outdoor Air Temperature
and the Outdoor Air Humidity
There are four configuration options for Dehumidification
operation.
Occupied Vent Mode Only: Dehumidification can only be
initiated in the Occupied Mode when there is no call for Heating
or Cooling. This creates a Vent Dehumidification Mode.
Both Occupied and Unoccupied Vent Mode: Dehumidification
can be initiated in the Occupied and Unoccupied Modes when
there is no call for Heating or Cooling. This creates a Vent
Dehumidification Mode.
NOTE: Do not use this option on a MUA unit that does
not have return air and is not configured for space
controlled Night Setback operation. Damage to
the unit could occur since the OA damper remains
closed in the Unoccupied Mode.
All Modes while Occupied: Dehumidification can be initiated
anytime in the Occupied Mode during Cooling, Heating, or
Vent Mode. This can create a Cooling Dehumidification Mode,
a Heating Dehumidification Mode, or a Vent Dehumidification
Mode.
All Modes while Occupied and Unoccupied: Dehumidification
can be initiated anytime in the Occupied or Unoccupied Mode
during Cooling, Heating, Vent, or Off Mode. This can create a
Cooling Dehumidification Mode, a Heating Dehumidification
Mode, or a Vent Dehumidification Mode. Any calls for
Unoccupied Dehumidification use the same Dehumidification
Setpoint as during the Occupied Mode since you never want
humidity to get out of control.
Dehumidification Operation on DX
Compressor Units
Any DX unit doing dehumidification will utilize one or more
Refrigerant System Modules (RSMs). Each RSM will control the
compressors, condensers, and EXVs (on Bitzer VFD compressor
units) for one or two refrigeration circuits. Up to four RSMs may
be used in controlling up to eight circuits.
The RSMD is used for digital compressor units, including heat
pumps. The RSMV is used for Bitzer VFD compressor units (non
heat pumps). The RSMV-HP is used for Bitzer VFD compressor
units that are heat pumps. The RSMVC-P is used for Copeland
VFD compressor units.
In the Dehumidification Mode, the compressors are controlled
to maintain the Suction (Saturation) Temperature Setpoint. Each
RSM will independently control its compressors to achieve the
most efficient dehumidification control.
See the appropriate RSM Technical Guide for a more detailed
sequence of operation.
CAUTION: If the Coil Saturated Temperature drops below
32˚F, any cooling remaining on will be forced
to stage off.
During Dehumidification, the Economizer will be held to its
minimum position. If the unit will be using the CAV/MUA Dual
Mode (Hood On/Off) Operation, Dehumidification will require
the use of an Outdoor and Indoor Humidity Sensor.
Dehumidification Operation on Chilled Water
Units
For Chilled Water units, the VCCX2 Controller will open the
Chilled Water valve to a fixed 100% position to provide full
moisture removal capability.
NOTE: Do not use this option on a MUA unit that does
not have return air and which is not configured for
space controlled Night Setback operation. Damage
to the unit could occur since the OA damper
remains closed in the Unoccupied Mode.
NOTE: Compressor operation is subject to the Outdoor
Air Temperature Cooling Lockout during
Dehumidification.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Dehumidification Mode
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
Reheat
During the Dehumidification Mode, the VCCX2 activates
Cooling to extract moisture from the Supply Air and utilizes
either Modulating Hot Gas Reheat, On/Off Hot Gas Reheat, or
Heating to reheat the Supply Air. Hot Gas Reheat is the standard
form of Reheat.
Reheat is always controlled to the Active Supply Air Setpoint (see
the Supply Air Temperature Setpoint Reset section for further
explanation) which will be different depending on whether
the unit is in Cooling Mode Dehumidification, Heating Mode
Dehumidification, or Vent Mode Dehumidification.
During Cooling Dehumidification, Reheat is controlled to
the Active Cooling Supply Air Setpoint. During Heating
Dehumidification, Reheat is controlled to the Active Heating
Supply Air Setpoint. During Vent Dehumidification, Reheat is
controlled to a calculated setpoint that is halfway between the
Heating and Cooling Mode Enable Setpoints.
If the unit is equipped with a MHGRV-X, then during
Dehumidification, it will modulate the reheat valve to maintain
the Supply Air Temperature at the Active Supply Air Temperature
Setpoint.
If the unit is equipped with an On/Off Hot Gas Valve, then one of
the relays will be configured for Reheat. The Reheat Relay will
be activated if the SAT is less than the SAT Setpoint. The Hot
Gas Reheat Relay will remain on during the Dehumidification
Mode regardless of the Supply Air Temperature. This is to ensure
a steady Supply Air Temperature.
The HVAC unit’s Heat Source, Heat Pump Auxiliary Heat, or
a Heat Source located in the Supply Air Duct (which is used as
the unit’s Heat source) can be used for Reheat if the unit is not
equipped with Hot Gas Reheat or to supplement Hot Gas Reheat.
WARNING:
Simultaneous Heating and Cooling cannot
be approved unless the HVAC unit has
been specifically designed for this purpose.
A Special Price Authorization (SPA) must
be obtained from the AAON® factory for
these applications to avoid warranty and/
or rating problems. AAON assumes no
liability for any Simultaneous Heating and
Cooling application if a SPA is not obtained
from the AAON® Factory at the time the
HVAC unit is ordered.
When Unit Heat is used for Reheat instead of Hot Gas Reheat,
the VCCX2 can activate the Heat Source(s) discussed in the
Heating Mode section to maintain the Supply Air Temperature at
the Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint. When Unit Heat is
used to supplement Modulating Hot Gas Reheat, the Modulating
Hot Gas Reheat Signal must reach 100% before Heating will be
enabled to add additional Reheat.
Coil Suction (Saturated) Temperature
Reset
The Indoor Humidity can be used to reset the Coil Saturated
Temperature Setpoint. A user adjustable range of Indoor
Humidity values can be used to reset the Coil Saturated
Temperature Setpoint between a user adjustable range of values.
As the Indoor Humidity rises within its range the Coil Saturated
Temperature Setpoint will be lowered within its range.
Return Air Bypass Damper Control
The Return Air Bypass (RAB) Damper is only used on constant
volume units with space temperature or return air temperature
configured as the HVAC Mode Enable sensor. The RAB Damper
is only active during the Dehumidification Mode and is used
as the first form of Reheat. If the HVAC unit is equipped with
Modulating Hot Gas Reheat, the RAB Damper needs to be at
100% before the Modulating Hot Gas Reheat can be used. The
RAB Damper modulates from 0-100% as the Space (or Return
Air) Temperature falls below the Cooling Setpoint. When the
Space (or Return Air) Temperature is equal to the Cooling
Setpoint, the RAB Damper will be at 0%. When the
Space (or Return Air) Temperature falls to halfway between the
Cooling and Heating Setpoints, the RAB Damper will be at 100%.
If the HVAC unit is equipped with separate actuators for the
Outdoor Air and Return Air Dampers, the Return Air Damper
will proportionally close more as the RAB Damper opens. The
rate at which the Return Air Damper closes is user-adjustable.
The purpose of closing the Return Air Damper more as the RAB
Damper opens is to allow more air to bypass the evaporator coil
through the RAB Damper. If you want more air to pass through
the RAB Damper, enter a larger number in the Return Air
Damper Factor Setpoint. If you want less air to pass through the
RAB Damper, enter a smaller number in the Return Air Damper
Factor Setpoint.

Heating Mode
Available heating options are Staged Gas, Modulating Gas,
Staged Electric, On/Off Hot Water, Modulating Hot Water, and
Modulating SCR Electric.
Occupied Heating is enabled when the temperature at the Mode
Enable Sensor falls one deadband below the Heating Setpoint.
Heating is disabled when the Mode Enable temperature raises
one deadband above the Heating Setpoint.
Unoccupied Heating operation is enabled when the Space
Temperature falls below the Heating Mode Enable Setpoint
minus the Unoccupied Heating Offset.
In the Heating Mode, as the Supply Air Temperature falls below
the Active Supply Air Heating Setpoint (page 80), the heating
will begin to stage on or to modulate. Each stage must meet its
Minimum Off Time (adj.) before it is allowed to energize, and
successive stages are subject to a Heating Stage Up Delay (adj).
Heating stages will continue to run until the Supply Air
Temperature rises above the Active Supply Air Temperature
Setpoint plus the Heating Stage Control Window at which point
the heating will begin to stage off. Each stage must meet its
Minimum Run Time (adj.) before it is allowed to stage off, and
successive stages are subject to a Heating Stage Down Delay
(adj.).
Mechanical heating is disabled if the Outdoor Air Temperature
(OAT) rises 1°F above the Heating Lockout Setpoint and will
remain disabled until the OAT falls 1°F below the Heating
Lockout Setpoint. If the OAT disables mechanical heating while
it is currently operating, mechanical heating will stage off as
minimum run times and stage down delays are satisfied.
Modulating Heating
The VCCX2 supports various forms of Modulating Heat such as
SCR Electric Heat, Modulating Hot Water Heat, and Modulating
Steam Heat. This references Modulating Heat that is controlled
from AOUT3 on the VCCX2 Controller with a user-adjustable
voltage range between 0-10 VDC. Modulating Gas, which is
controlled by the MODGAS-X Module, is not included in this
section. Whichever form of Modulating Heating is used, the
VCCX2 will modulate the Heat Source to achieve the Active
Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
The Modulating Heating Proportional Window is used to
determine the signal to the Modulating Heating Source and is
user-adjustable. The Modulating Heating Signal is calculated
by the differential between the Supply Air Temperature and the
Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint based on the Modulating
Heating Proportional Window. The maximum signal adjustment
per time period is 10% and is not user-adjustable.
The minimum signal adjustment per time period is based on
the Modulating Heating Proportional Window. The larger the
Modulating Heating Proportional Window, the smaller the signal
adjustment will be per time period. The time period is the delay
between another increase or decrease in the Modulating Heating
Source Signal and is user-adjustable.
For example, if the Modulating Heating Proportional Window
is 5°F, the signal will be adjusted 2% per °F each time period
above or below the Active Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
When the Supply Air Temperature is above or below the Active
Supply Air Temperature Setpoint by 5°F or more, the signal will
adjust 10% each time period.
Hot Water Coil Protection
NOTE: Unless the following sequence is utilized, the Hot
Water Valve is closed (regardless if configured for
direct or reverse acting control) when not being
used for Heating.
Fan On Mode
If anytime the fan is on, the Supply Air Temperature falls below
the user-adjustable Low Supply Air Temperature Cutoff Setpoint
for at least one minute, the Hot Water Valve will move to a
user-adjustable position configured with the Hot Water Valve
Protection Position Setpoint. If the Supply Air Temperature rises
above the Low Supply Air Cutoff by 5°F, the valve will return
to its normal position.
If the Supply Air Temperature remains below the Low Supply Air
Temperature Cutoff Setpoint for ten minutes, the unit will then
shut down and the Low Supply Air Temperature Cutoff Alarm
will be generated. If the Supply Air Temperature rises above the
Low Supply Air Cutoff by 5°F, the alarm (if generated) will clear
and the unit will attempt to restart and resume normal operation.
Fan Off Mode
If anytime the fan is off, the Outdoor Air Temperature falls
below the user-adjustable Low Ambient Setpoint, the Hot
Water Valve will move to the user-adjustable Hot Water Valve
Protection Position Setpoint. If the Outdoor Temperature rises
above the Low Ambient Setpoint, the valve will return to its
normal position.
If the Hot Water Valve Protection Position setpoint is left at
the default of 0%, the controller will not initiate this protection
sequence. This operation works during Emergency Shutdown.

Primary Modulating Heat with Secondary
Staged Heat
The Modulating Heat source can be Modulating Gas, Modulating
Hot Water, Modulating Steam, or SCR Electric Heat. In this case
the Modulating Heat will be the first form of heat used and will
e to attempt to achieve the Active Supply Air Heating Setpoint.
If the modulating heat reaches 100%, the Heating Stage Up
Delay begins. If the Primary Heat Source is still at 100% after
the Heating Stage Up Delay expires, the Secondary Heat Source
will activate. The Primary Heat Source can then modulate as
necessary to achieve the Active Supply Air Heating Setpoint. If
there are additional stages of heat, they will stage up as described,
with the Primary Heat Source modulating as necessary.
If the Secondary Heat Source is activated and the Primary Heat
Source has modulated to 0%, the Heating Stage Down Delay
will begin. If the Primary Heat Source is still at 0% after the
Heating Stage Down Delay expires, the Secondary Heat Source
will deactivate. If there are multiple stages of Secondary Heat,
they will stage off in the same manner. Then, if the Supply Air
Temperature rises above the Active Supply Air Heating Setpoint
plus the Heating Stage Control Window, the Primary Heat Source
will modulate to 0% to allow the Supply Air Temperature to
cool off.
Ventilation Mode
This mode is only available in the Occupied Mode of operation
on units configured for continuous Supply Fan operation and is
generated anytime there is no demand for heating or cooling.
The fan will operate at the configured Minimum Vent speed.
Off Mode
Off Mode occurs in the Unoccupied Mode when there is no
heating or cooling demand. The Supply Fan is off and the outside
air damper is closed.
Off Mode can only occur in the Occupied Mode if the fan is
configured to cycle with heating and cooling and there is no call
for heating or cooling.
Remote Contact Control
A Remote Contact Control option can be configured on the
VCCX2 Controller to initiate the HVAC Modes of operation.
If this option is configured, all Heating, Cooling, and
Dehumidification modes will only be initiated based on 24 VAC
wet contact closures on the Forced Heating, Forced Cooling, and
Forced Dehumidification inputs on the VCCX2 Controller. This
is a single configuration option that applies to all three modes.
If both the Forced Heating and Forced Cooling inputs are inactive
or if both are simultaneously active, then the unit is in Vent Mode
state. In this condition in the Occupied Mode, only the fan would
be on for ventilation. In this condition in the Unoccupied Mode,
the unit would just be off.
If Forced Dehumidification is also being used, it will operate
in conjunction with the Forced Heating and Forced Cooling
inputs according to which Dehumidification option you have
configured. The four configuration options are described in the
Dehumidification Mode section on page 74.
Space Sensor Operation
Space Sensors are available as a Plain Sensor, Sensor with
Override, Sensor with Slide Adjust, and Sensor with Override
and Slide Adjust (this is the version that is factory supplied).
An E-BUS Digital Space Sensor is also available with override
and setpoint adjustment capability.
Sensors with Slide Adjust can be programmed to allow Space
Setpoint adjustment of up to ± 10° F.
If the Space Temperature is the SAT/Reset Source, then the Slide
Adjust will adjust the HVAC Mode Enable Setpoints and the
SAT/Reset Source Setpoints simultaneously.
During Unoccupied hours, the Override Button can be used to
force the unit back into the Occupied Mode (by pressing the
button for less than three seconds) for a user-defined override
duration of up to 8.0 hours. Pressing the button between three
to 10 seconds cancels the override.

VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
Multiple Digital Space Sensors
Multiple (up to 10) digital space sensors can be connected to the
VCCX2 Controller in applications where multiple spaces (not
utilizing VAV boxes) could be served by a single unit. These
sensors can be either the E-BUS Digital Space Temperature
Sensor or the E-BUS Digital Space Temperature/Humidity
Sensor.
The VCCX2 can be configured to use temperature (high and
low) to determine the Cooling or Heating Mode or average
the space temperature values and use that value to determine
the mode of operation – in both cases relative to the VCCX2
Space Temperature Setpoints. It would use the highest humidity
value relative to the Space Humidity Setpoint to initiate
Dehumidification Mode.
The digital sensors each need to be configured with unique
addresses (#1 -10) for this operation. In this arrangement, only the
sensor at address #1 can utilize the slide adjust. All push-button
overrides on the sensors will function. Each sensor can have its
own calibration offset, if required.

IAQ (CO2) Control Operation
If you have configured the VCCX2 Controller to monitor and
control CO2 levels, the Economizer operation will be modified
as follows:
1. If the CO2 levels remain below the Low CO2 Level
Setpoint, the Economizer Minimum Position (or
Airflow Minimum) will remain at its configured value.
2. As the level of CO2 increases above the Minimum CO2
Level Setpoint, the Economizer Minimum Position (or
Airflow Minimum) will begin to be reset higher. The
Economizer Minimum Position (or Airflow Minimum)
will be proportionally reset higher as the CO2 rises
within the range set by the Minimum CO2 Level
Setpoint and the Maximum CO2 Level Setpoint. If the
CO2 level reaches the High CO2 Level Setpoint, the
Economizer Minimum Position (or Airflow Minimum)
will be reset to the Maximum Reset Position.
3. The Maximum Reset Position Setpoint is the highest
the Economizer Minimum Position (or Airflow
Minimum) can be reset to during CO2 Control
Operation. This setpoint is user-adjustable and does
not keep the Economizer from opening further during
Economizer operation.
Morning Warm-Up Mode Operation
NOTE: Morning Warm-Up can be configured for any
application but should not be used on 100%
Outdoor Air Units, since the Outdoor Air Damper
remains closed during Warm-Up.
When the VCCX2 Controller is configured for Morning Warm-
Up and switches to the Occupied Mode of Operation (not
Override or Force Mode from an operator interface device), the
unit compares the Return Air Temperature to a Morning Warm-
Up Target Temperature. If the Return Air Temperature is below
this setpoint, the Warm-Up Mode is initiated. Heating will then
be controlled to the Warm-Up Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
This mode remains in effect until the Return Air Temperature
rises above the Target Temperature or a user-adjustable time
period expires. Warm-Up Mode is not initiated by Push-Button
Overrides or Unoccupied Heating demands. The Outdoor Air
Damper remains closed during Warm-Up Mode.
Once the Warm-Up Mode has been terminated, it cannot resume
until the unit has been through a subsequent Unoccupied Mode.
Only one Warm-Up Mode is allowed per Occupied cycle.
If you have stand-alone VAV boxes that need to be forced wide
open during the Warm-Up Mode, you can configure one of the
relay outputs to be used during this Mode. If the Warm-Up Mode
is active, the relay is activated. This relay then becomes the Force
Open Command for all VAV boxes to which it is wired.
Morning Cool-Down Mode Operation
When the VCCX2 Controller is configured for Morning Cool-
Down and switches to the Occupied Mode of Operation (not
Override or Force Mode from an operator interface device), the
unit compares the Return Air Temperature to a Morning Cool-
Down Target Temperature. If the Return Air Temperature is above
this Setpoint, the Cool-Down Mode is initiated. Cooling will then
be controlled to the Cool-Down Supply Air Temperature Setpoint.
This mode remains in effect until the Return Air Temperature
drops below the target temperature or a user-adjustable time
period expires. Cool-Down Mode is not initiated by Push-Button
Overrides or Unoccupied Cooling demands. The Outdoor Air
Damper remains closed during Cool-Down Mode.
Once the Cool-Down Mode has been terminated, it cannot resume
until the unit has been through a subsequent Unoccupied Mode.
Only one Cool-Down Mode is allowed per Occupied cycle.
If you have stand-alone VAV boxes that need to be forced wide
open during the Cool-Down Mode, you can configure one of
the relay outputs to be used during this mode. If the Cool-Down
Mode is active, the relay is activated. This relay then becomes
the Force Open Command for all VAV boxes to which it is wired.
Single Zone VAV
Single Zone VAV is an application where the Supply Fan VFD
modulates to maintain the Space Temperature Setpoint while
heating or cooling is modulated to maintain the Supply Air
Setpoint. This application can be configured to use VAV Cooling
and either VAV Heating or CAV Heating. There is no Supply Air
Temperature Setpoint reset function on a Single Zone VAV Unit.
VAV Cooling and VAV Heating require modulating cooling
and heating sources in order to maintain a constant Supply Air
Temperature no matter what the fan speed is. CAV Heating must
be configured if using a staged form of heat.
The Space Temperature Sensor (cannot use Return Air
Temperature) determines the heating or cooling mode of
operation. Heating and cooling are enabled and disabled as
described previously in the Heating (page 76) and Cooling
sections (page 71).
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
IAQ Control, Morning Warm-Up and Cool-Down, and Single Zone VAV
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
In the Cooling Mode, the modulating cooling source will
modulate to maintain the Cooling Supply Air Setpoint. The
Supply Fan VFD will begin operation at a user-adjustable
Minimum VFD Cooling Speed (30% default) and modulate
between this setpoint and 100% as needed to maintain the Space
Temperature within the Space Cooling Reset Window created
by configuring a Space Cooling High and a Space Cooling Low
Reset Source Setpoint.
If the unit is configured for VAV Heating, then in the Heating
Mode the modulating heating source will modulate to maintain
the Heating Supply Air Setpoint. The Supply Fan VFD will
begin operation at a user-adjustable Minimum VFD Heating
Speed (50% default) and modulate between this setpoint and
the Maximum VFD Heating Speed (100% default) as needed to
maintain the space temperature within the Space Heating Reset
Window created by configuring a Space Heating High and a
Space Heating Low Reset Source Setpoint.
If the unit needs to be configured for CAV Heating, set the
Minimum VFD Heating Speed to be the same as the Maximum
VFD Heating Speed desired during heating (page 76). Once the
unit enters the Heating Mode, the Supply Fan will run at the set
Maximum VFD Heating Speed (100% default).
In the Vent Mode of operation, the Supply Fan will operate at
the VFD Vent Speed (user-adjustable).
During Dehumidification, the fan will operate as described above,
depending on if the Space Temperature is calling for Cooling
Dehumidification or Heating Dehumidification.
When the controller is in the Vent-Dehumidification Mode,
the Supply Fan VFD will still modulate based on the Space
Temperature. It looks at a temperature half way between the
Cooling and Heating setpoints and modulates between the
Cooling minimum and 100% as the Space Temperature goes from
the midway value to 0.5°F above that value. For example, if the
Cooling Enable Setpoint is 74°F, the Heating Enable Setpoint
is 70°F, and the Space Temperature is 72°F or less, the Supply
Fan will be running at the cooling minimum. As the Space
Temperature rises to 72.5°F, the fan will go to 100%.
Night Setback operation uses the same SZ VAV fan control logic;
however, since the setbacks would normally be larger than the
space reset range for the fan speed, the fan will typically always
be at 100%.
If the Hood On/Off operation is used on a SZ VAV unit, then
during Hood On, the mode enable will switch to the Outdoor Air
Temperature Sensor using Hood On Mode Enable Setpoints and
the Outdoor Air Damper will modulate to 100%. The Supply Fan
VFD will modulate to 100%.
Supply Air Temperature Setpoint Reset
Various sources can be configured to reset the Supply Air
Temperature (SAT) Setpoint. Since the Supply Air Temperature
Setpoints are not fixed during reset, we refer to them as “Active
Supply Air Temperature Setpoints.” The following Reset Source
options are available in this release:
1. Space Temperature
2. Outdoor Air Temperature
3. Return Air Temperature
4. Fan VFD Signal
5. Remote SAT Reset Signal
For whatever option is selected, a High and a Low Reset Source
Setpoint must be configured that will correspond to configured
Low and High SAT Setpoints. This must be done separately for
the Cooling Mode Setpoints and for the Heating Mode Setpoints.
When the Reset Source is at its highest configured setpoint,
the SAT Setpoint will be reset to its lowest configured setpoint.
When the Reset Source is at its lowest configured setpoint, the
SAT Setpoint will be reset to its highest configured setpoint.
In all cases, as the Reset Source value moves within its range
established by the configured High and Low Reset Setpoints, the
Supply Air Setpoint will be proportionally reset within its range
established by the configured Low and High SAT Setpoints.
If a Remote SAT Reset Signal is configured as the Reset Source,
a configurable voltage signal (between 0 and 10 VDC, direct or
reverse acting) can be used to reset the Supply Air Temperature
Setpoint. You can configure what voltage will correspond to
the Low SAT Setpoint and what voltage will correspond to the
High SAT Setpoint in both the Heating and the Cooling Modes.
NOTE: This Supply Air Temperature reset cannot be used
on a Single Zone VAV Unit.

Airflow Monitoring
Outdoor, Supply, Return and Exhaust Airflow can be monitored
using the EBTRON® GTC116 or HTN104 series, Paragon
MicroTransEQ series, or GreenTrol™ GA-200-N Module in
conjunction with a GreenTrol™ GF series of airflow station.
Contact AAON Controls for information on other airflow station
options. The VCCX2 will control the Outdoor Air Damper to
maintain an Outdoor Air CFM Setpoint. This operation can be
overridden higher by normal Economizer control.
On an MUA unit or a unit configured for Space Control of High
Percentage Outdoor Air, since the damper is typically at 100%,
the VCCX2 can be configured to modulate the Supply Fan VFD
to maintain an Outdoor CFM Setpoint.
Preheater Operation
A Preheat Relay can be configured to energize anytime the Supply
Fan is operating and the Outdoor Air Temperature is below the
Preheat Setpoint. This option allows preheating of cold outside
air before it reaches the evaporator coils and is useful in Hot
Water/Chilled Water applications or during CO2 control of the
economizer in low temperature conditions. This operation only
occurs in the Occupied Mode.
If using the PREHEAT-X, an SCR Preheater and/or stages of
Preheat can be controlled. If the Entering Air Temperature (sensor
connected to the PREHEAT-X) falls below the Preheat Setpoint,
then Preheat will be controlled to either a Cooling, Heating or
Vent Mode Preheater Leaving Air Setpoint - depending on if
the VCCX2 is currently in the Cooling, Heating, or Vent Mode.
These setpoints are all set in the VCCX2 Controller. If using
the PREHEAT-X in conjunction with the VCCX2 Controller,
the Entering Air Temperature on the PREHEAT-X (instead of
the Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor connected directly to the
VCCX2 Controller) will be used as the temperature that locks
out compressors. See the PREHEAT-X Controller Technical
Guide for more details.
Low Ambient Operation
A Low Ambient Relay can be configured. Whenever the Outdoor
Air Temperature falls below the Low Ambient Setpoint, this Low
Ambient Relay will energize. This operation occurs in both the
Occupied and Unoccupied Modes of Operation.
Heat Wheel
One of the relay outputs can be configured as a Heat Wheel Relay.
This relay will enable the Heat Wheel when the unit goes into
the Occupied Mode. If the unit is a recirculating unit configured
to use Economizer free cooling, the relay will disable during
Economizer operation.
If the unit is a 100% outdoor air unit configured to use the Outdoor
Air Sensor as the controlling sensor, then the Heat Wheel Relay
will disable in between the Outdoor Air Cooling and Heating
Mode Enable Setpoints (Outdoor Air Vent Mode). Similarly, on
a unit configured for Space Control of High Percentage Outdoor
Air, and the unit is in Outdoor Air Vent Mode, the wheel is
disabled. The controller can also be configured to disable the
Heat Wheel Relay between High and Low Outdoor Air Enthalpy
Setpoints.
Heat Wheel Defrost
A Defrost Mode will occur if the Heat Wheel relay is active, the
Outdoor Temperature is below the Heat Wheel Defrost Setpoint,
and 30 minutes have elapsed since the last Defrost Mode. The
Defrost Mode will disable the Heat Wheel Relay for 2 minutes.
Before the Heat Wheel Relay disables, a 2-minute delay will
occur while the Economizer closes to a 10% position to allow
the return air to have maximum defrost effect on the wheel. At
the end of the Defrost Mode, the Heat Wheel Relay will enable,
and the economizer will return to its normal position. This 10%
re-positioning will not occur on units configured for MUA control
(outdoor air is the controlling sensor), or for units in Hood-On
operation, or for units that are configured for Space Temperature
Control of a high percentage of outdoor air.
Duct Static Pressure Control
If the VCCX2 Controller has been configured for Duct Static
Pressure Control, then anytime the Supply Fan is operating, the
unit will be controlling to a Duct Static Pressure Setpoint. The
Static Pressure Control Output Signal can be used to control
a Supply Fan VFD (Direct Acting Operation), or a Zoning or
Bypass Damper Actuator (Reverse Acting Operation).
The Duct Static Pressure Setpoint, the Setpoint Deadband, the
Static Pressure Control Signal, and the Static Control Rate are
all user-adjustable. The Static Control Rate is the amount of time
that elapses between each adjustment to the Duct Static Pressure
Control Output Signal. The default period is 10 seconds and
should not be changed unless close observation reveals that the
Supply Fan or Bypass Damper is hunting and not maintaining a
stable pressure reading.
For Supply Fan VFD operation, the Output Signal increases
(increases the VFD speed) if the Duct Static Pressure is below
the Duct Static Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount, and
the Output Signal decreases (decreases VFD Speed) if the Static
Pressure is above the Setpoint by the Deadband amount.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Airflow Monitoring, Preheater, Low Ambient and Duct Static Press
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
For Bypass Damper operation, the VCCX2 will reverse the logic
of the Output Signal. The Output Signal decreases (closes the
Zoning Bypass Damper) if the Duct Static Pressure is below the
Duct Static Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount, and the
Output Signal increases (opens the Zoning Bypass Damper) if the
Duct Static Pressure is above the Duct Static Pressure Setpoint
by the Deadband amount.
If the Static Pressure ever rises 0.5” W.C. above the Duct Static
Pressure Setpoint, the Duct Static Pressure Control Output
Signal value will be cut by .15” W.C. every control period until
the Static Pressure is brought under control. This is to prevent
damage to the ductwork if all the VAV boxes are closed or some
other blockage occurs in the ductwork.
WARNING:
The manufacturer does not assume
responsibility for protecting the equipment
from over-pressurization. You should
always install mechanical high static
protection cutoffs to protect your system.
Any time the Supply Fan is off, the Duct Static Pressure Control
Output Signal will remain at 0 V. If Duct Static Pressure Control
is not configured, the Static Pressure can still be monitored if a
Static Sensor is installed, however, no control will occur.
Duct Static Setpoint Reset
If the VCCX2 Controller is being used with AAON VAV box
controllers in a VAV system, the Duct Static Pressure Setpoint
can be dynamically reset based on the most-open VAV box
associated with that unit. As long as the most-open box is less
than 80% open, the Duct Static Setpoint will be decrease at a
user-adjustable Reset Rate from the Max Static Pressure Reset
Limit Setpoint down to the Minimum Static Pressure Reset Limit.
Once the most-open box exceeds 80%, the setpoint will increase
toward the Maximum Static Pressure Reset Limit Setpoint. A
MiniLink PD 5 is required in order to poll the VAV boxes for
their damper position.
Duct Static Pressure Control for Filter
Loading
In order to maintain a constant CFM through the supply air
ducts on a mixed air CAV unit, the VCCX2 can utilize a Duct
Static Pressure Sensor (used to monitor the discharge pressure)
in conjunction with a Supply Fan VFD. If the filters are getting
dirty, the VCCX2 will ramp up the VFD to compensate for
the decrease in airflow. To utilize this feature, the unit must be
configured to use VFD Fan Control. This feature cannot be used
if this is a VAV or Zoning application with typical Duct Static
Pressure Control, or if this unit has been configured for Single
Zone VAV operation.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Duct Static Setpoint Reset and Duct Static Pressure Control
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
Building Pressure Control
The VCCX2 can maintain Building Static Pressure anytime the
Supply Fan is operating. A Building Pressure Transducer must
be connected to the VCCX2 Controller. The following are the
available control options.
Direct Acting Building Pressure Control
• On/Off Exhaust Fan: If an On/Off Exhaust Fan is being
used, a relay output must be configured for “Exhaust
Fan”. This relay will energize whenever the Building
Pressure rises above the Building Pressure Setpoint by
the Deadband amount. The relay will de-energize when
the Building Pressure falls below the Building Pressure
Setpoint by the Deadband amount.
• Exhaust Fan VFD or Modulating Exhaust Damper: If
configured for Modulating Exhaust, a user-adjustable
voltage output (AOUT4 – Building Pressure Output)
will be used to control this fan or damper. An Exhaust
Relay can be configured if necessary to enable the fan or
damper. Whenever the Building Pressure rises above the
Building Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount,
the Exhaust Fan Relay will energize and the Modulating
Signal will activate to control to the Building Pressure
Setpoint. If the Building Pressure falls below the
Building Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount,
the Modulating Signal will modulate towards 0% as it
attempts to maintain the Building Pressure Setpoint.
The Exhaust Fan Relay is energized whenever the
Modulating Signal is above 0%.
Reverse Acting Building Pressure Control
• Outdoor Air Damper: If this option is configured,
the VCCX2 will use the user-adjustable Economizer/
Outdoor Air Damper output signal (AOUT2 – Economizer
Control Signal) to maintain the Building Pressure
Setpoint. Whenever the Building Pressure falls below
the Building Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband
amount, the modulating Economizer Output Signal will
modulate the damper open to control to the Building
Pressure Setpoint. If the Building Pressure rises above
the Building Pressure Setpoint by the Deadband amount,
the damper will modulate towards closed as it attempts
to maintain the Building Pressure Setpoint. When this
option is selected, no Economizer free cooling or CO2
IAQ operation will be available.
NOTE: If Reverse Acting Building Pressure Control using
the Outdoor Air Damper is configured, the Hood
On Input is ignored and will not drive the Outdoor
Air Damper open.
• Supply Fan VFD: Careful consideration should be made
regarding the effects of potential reduced airflow when
using this option. If this option is selected, the Supply
Fan VFD Output (AOUT1 - Main Supply Fan VFD)
will be used to control the Supply Fan VFD to maintain
the Building Pressure Setpoint in similar fashion to the
Outdoor Air Damper control described above.
Return Plenum Pressure Control
The VCCX2 Controller can control the Return Plenum Pressure
using a motorized exhaust damper. This is used on certain RNZ
units that have a return fan that will be used to control Building
Static Pressure. This sequence will require the use of the VCC-X
EM1 Expansion Module which has an input for a Return Plenum
Pressure Transducer (the same transducer used for the Building
Pressure control) and an analog output that is wired to the actuator
used to control the motorized exhaust damper. When the return
fan is active (based on Building Pressure) the motorized exhaust
damper will modulate to control the Return Plenum Pressure
Setpoint. If the pressure is above the setpoint the modulating
signal will move towards 100%. If the pressure is below setpoint
the modulating signal will move towards 0%.
Exhaust Duct Static Pressure Control
of Exhaust Fan
The VCCX2 Controller can control an exhaust fan based off of
exhaust duct static pressure. This sequence will require the use
of the VCC-X EM1 Expansion Module which has a modular
jack that the Duct Static Pressure Sensor will plug into. The
building pressure output will be used to control the exhaust fan
for this operation.
A standard pull-through exhaust fan creates negative duct static
pressure. Since a duct static pressure sensor reads positive
pressure, this sequence requires the tubing for the sensor to be
reversed so that the low side is in the exhaust ductwork. So,
although the user is actually controlling to a negative pressure, the
VCCX2 will be configured to use (and will display) an equivalent
positive Exhaust Duct Static Pressure Value and Setpoint. So,
if the duct static pressure is below setpoint, the control signal
will ramp up.
See the VCCX2 Controller Operator Interfaces SD Technical
Guide for the Setpoint and Deadband ranges associated with
this control. The Control Rate is the same as the Control Rate
configured for the Supply Duct Static Pressure control.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
Building Pressure Control and Exhaust Duct Static Pressure Control
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
MUA Operation
Occupied Mode: The VCCX2 will use the normal Cooling and
Heating Mode Enable Setpoints (not the Hood On Setpoints)
in conjunction with the Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor to
determine the mode of operation. The Outdoor Air Dewpoint
Setpoint will initiate the Dehumidification Mode. The Outdoor
Air Damper will be modulated to the Economizer Minimum
Damper Position (normally set at 100% for a MUA unit).
Unoccupied Mode: Normally, an MUA unit is off during the
Unoccupied Mode. However, if the unit has Return Air, it can be
configured to operate as a recirculating Night Setback controlled
unit during unoccupied hours. This is accomplished by simply
configuring Night Setback Temperature Setpoints (anything other
than the default 30ºF) on a unit that is also configured for outdoor
temperature control (MUA). With this configuration, when the
unit goes Unoccupied, it will close the Outdoor Air Damper and
begin to use a Space Temperature Sensor in conjunction with
the existing Heating and Cooling Setpoints, offset by the Night
Setbacks, to make Night Setback calls. If a Space Humidity
Sensor is installed, and the unit is configured for Night Humidity
control, the VCCX2 Controller will use the Space Humidity
Setpoint for Unoccupied Dehumidification calls.
CAV/MUA Dual Mode (Hood On/Off
Operation)
The VCCX2 Controller can be configured as a CAV controller
but switch to MUA operation when an exhaust hood is energized.
This MUA Force Mode occurs when a 24 VAC wet contact
closure is received on the Hood On binary input on the VCCX2
Controller. Under normal operation (CAV), the unit will operate
as a recirculating Space Temperature (and Space Humidity)
controlled unit. This sequence should not be used on a VAV unit.
When the Hood On contact is made, the unit will open the
Outdoor Air Damper to its full open position. The Heating and
Cooling Modes will then be determined by the Outdoor Air
Temperature Sensor using the Hood On Outdoor Air Heating and
Cooling Setpoints which are used only in Hood On operation.
Dehumidification would then be initiated by an Outdoor
Dewpoint Setpoint. If using Reverse Building Pressure Control
using the Outdoor Air Damper, the Hood On Input will not affect
the damper position.
When the Hood On Force Mode is removed, the unit will revert
to CAV operation with the Outdoor Damper returning to its
minimum position (unless economizer operation is enabled)
and with mode control initiated by the Space Temperature and
Humidity Sensors.
Space Temperature Control of High
Percentage Outdoor Air Units
This option allows for Space Temperature control of 100%
outdoor air units or units with a high percentage of outdoor
air (normally 50% or greater). For this application you would
configure “Space Temperature w/High Percentage OA” for
the Controlling Sensor option. The intent of this sequence is
to allow Space Temperature and Humidity control of the unit
while preventing the dumping of hot or cold outside air into the
space during the Space Vent Mode of operation. If a Return Air
Humidity Sensor is available, it can be configured to initiate
Dehumidification.
As long as there is a Space Temperature call for Cooling or
Heating or if there is a Space Dehumidification call, the unit will
remain under Space Control. During this Space Control operation,
if the configured minimum Outdoor Air Damper (Economizer)
position is less than 100%, the Economizer can open farther
for free cooling during Space Cooling Mode. Additionally, the
Economizer minimum position can be overridden by IAQ CO2
conditions.
If both the Space Temperature and the Space Humidity are
satisfied, before switching to the Space Vent Mode, the controller
compares the Outdoor Air Temperature to the Hood On HVAC
Setpoints (Hood On MUA Setpoints) to determine if a continued
demand for heating or cooling is required to prevent dumping.
If there is no demand, the VCCX2 Controller switches to Vent
Mode. If the Outdoor Air Temperature is greater than the Hood
On HVAC Cooling Setpoint or less than the Hood On HVAC
Heating Setpoint, plus the Occupied Deadband, the VCCX2
Controller will continue mechanical cooling or heating operation
and stage or modulate it as necessary to maintain the Vent Mode
Supply Air Setpoint (Calculated to be halfway between the
Space Heating and Cooling Mode Enable Setpoints). During this
outdoor control, if the configured minimum Outdoor Air Damper
(Economizer) position is less than 100%, the minimum position
can be overridden by IAQ CO2 conditions.
While the unit is under Outdoor Air Temperature control,
Dehumidification Mode is then initiated based on an Outdoor
Air Dewpoint Setpoint with reheat controlling to the Vent Mode
Supply Air Setpoint.
Any call for space Cooling, Heating, or Dehumidification will
cancel the outdoor operation and return the unit to Space Control.
NOTE: All Minimum Run times must be satisfied before
mechanical cooling or heating is de-energized.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
MUA, CAV/MUA, and Space Temperature Control
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
VAV Operation with Supply Air
Tempering (VAV Operation with
Outdoor Air Temperature Control)
On a VAV unit that may need daytime heating in order to
maintain the Cooling Supply Air Setpoint, previous controllers
used a Supply Air Tempering sequence with the Supply Air
Temperature Sensor configured as the controlling sensor. The
VCCX2 Controller accomplishes the same result using the Hood-
On Outdoor Air (OA) Setpoints to initiate Cooling and Heating.
To utilize this sequence, the HVAC Mode Enable Source must
be configured as Supply Air Tempering. Then, configure the
Hood On HVAC Setpoints for the OA temperature values that
will enable Cooling and Heating. The Hood On Heating Setpoint
should be set at or above the OA Temperature, that when mixed
with the Return Air (with the Economizer at its minimum
position), will require Heating in order to achieve the Heating
Supply Air Setpoint. The Hood On Cooling Setpoint would be
set above that, which will allow a Vent Mode in between.
Then, configure the Cooling and Heating Supply Air Setpoints.
While not set at the same value, those would normally both be set
at or near 55°F to allow the box heat to keep spaces comfortable.
With this configuration, as the OA Temperature rises above the
Hood On Cooling Setpoint, the unit will be in Cooling Mode,
controlling to the Cooling Supply Air Setpoint. The Economizer
can operate as normal for free cooling to maintain the Cooling
Supply Air Setpoint.
During the Vent Mode, when the OA Temperature is between
the Hood On Cooling and Heating Setpoints, the economizer
can modulate if necessary to maintain the Cooling Supply Air
Setpoint.
Whenever the OA Temperature falls below the Hood On Heating
Setpoint, the unit will be in Heating Mode controlling to the
Heating Supply Air Setpoint. The Economizer can still modulate
during Heating Mode if the Supply Air Temperature is too warm,
and it will control to a setpoint calculated to be 2°F above the
Heating Supply Air Setpoint. In this way, the Economizer will
have time to close to its minimum position before the Supply
Air Temperature falls below the Heating Supply Air Setpoint
and Heating is initiated.
During Morning Warm-Up, heating will be controlled to the
Morning Warm-Up Supply Air Setpoint.
In this operation, if Night Setback operation will be initiated
by a space sensor connected to the VCCX2 Controller, then the
Night Setback Cooling and Heating Offsets will be applied to
the normal Occupied HVAC Mode Enable Setpoints (not the
Hood On Setpoints). During Night Setback operation, Heating
will be controlled to the Morning Warm-Up Supply Air Setpoint.
Finally, configure the VCCX2 for Duct Static Pressure Control
(see the Duct Static Pressure Control section for complete
details).
Air to Air Heat Pump Operation
Cooling Mode will operate in the same manner as described in
the Cooling section.
A reversing valve relay output can be configured to activate with
the first compressor stage in the Heating Mode or the Cooling
Mode of operation.
In the Heating Mode, Compressor Heat, Auxiliary Heat, and
Emergency Heat can be used to achieve the Active Supply Air
Heating Setpoint. Auxiliary Heat can be either a modulating
or staged form of heat, or it can be a modulating form of heat
followed by staged heat.
When Auxiliary Heat comes on in conjunction with a digital
compressor heat stage, the digital compressor will be locked at
100% until the Supply Air Temperature (SAT) rises above the
SAT Heating Setpoint plus the Heat Staging Window. At that
point, the Auxiliary Heat will stage off (after a stage-down delay)
and the digital compressor heat will be allowed to modulate.
When the Outdoor Air Temperature (OAT) is below the Heating
Lockout but above the OAT Compressor Heating Lockout,
Compressor Heat will be used and can be supplemented by
Auxiliary Heat.
When the OAT is below the OAT Compressor Heating Lockout,
Compressor Heat is locked out. Auxiliary Heat will then be
the primary heat and can be supplemented with stage(s) of
Emergency Heat (if available). Emergency heat is only available
when the OAT is below the OAT Compressor Lockout.
Heat Pump Standard Defrost
Operation
If using the VCCX2 Controller with an installed Defrost Coil
Temperature Switch, a Defrost Cycle is available.
If the compressor(s) are operating in the Heating Mode and the
Defrost Coil Temperature Switch closes, the unit will enter the
Defrost Mode, provided the user-adjustable Defrost Interval
Timer has elapsed since the last Defrost Cycle.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
VAV w/SA Tempering, Air to Air Heat Pump and Standard Defrost
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
In the Defrost Cycle, the Reversing Valve Signal is switched
to the opposite operation, and the compressors are brought to
maximum capacity. Auxiliary Heat will be used to attempt to
maintain the Heating SAT Setpoint. Emergency Heat cannot be
used because it is locked out because the compressors are on.
The unit will leave the Defrost Mode after 10 minutes have
elapsed or the Defrost Coil Temperature Switch opens.
If the unit leaves the Compressor Heating Mode, the Defrost
Interval will restart once the unit re-enters the Compressor
Heating Mode.
Heat Pump Adaptive Defrost Operation
The Adaptive Defrost operation adjusts the time interval
(Adaptive Defrost Timer) in between Defrost Mode cycles.
As stated above, the unit will leave the Defrost Mode after 10
minutes have elapsed or the Defrost Coil Temperature Switch
opens. If the Defrost Cycle is terminated because the 10 minute
timer runs out, this could be an indicator that the unit may need
more defrost time. To address this issue, the Adaptive Defrost
Timer value will be subtracted from the original Defrost Interval.
If the Defrost Cycle is terminated between the 8th and 9th minute,
the Defrost Interval will not be changed.
If the Defrost Cycle is terminated before the 8th minute, this
could be an indicator that the unit may need less defrost time.
To address this issue, the Adaptive Defrost Timer value will be
inversely proportionally added to the original Defrost Interval as
the termination time moves from 8 minutes to 0 minutes.
Adaptive Defrost can be disabled by setting the Adaptive Defrost
Timer Setpoint to 0.
Water Source Heat Pump Operation
A reversing valve relay output can be configured to activate with
the first compressor stage in the Heating Mode or the Cooling
Mode of operation.
In Heating Mode, Auxiliary Heat can be used with Compressor
Heat to achieve the Active Supply Air Heating Setpoint. Auxiliary
Heat can be:
• Modulating Heat
• Staged forms of Heat,
• A modulating form of heat followed by staged heat.
When Auxiliary Heat comes on in conjunction with a digital
compressor heat stage, the digital compressor will be locked at
100% until the Supply Air Temperature (SAT) rises above the
SAT Heating Setpoint plus the Heat Staging Window.
At that point, the Auxiliary Heat will stage off (after a stage-
down delay) and the Digital Compressor Heat will be allowed
to modulate.
There is no Defrost Mode on a Water Source Heat Pump Unit.
The unit can be configured for a percentage of glycol. The options
are 0%-40% in 5% increments.
Electronic Expansion Valve (EXV)
Operation
If using EXVs with Bitzer VFD Compressors and the RSMV
Module, then a Coil (Suction Line) Temperature Sensor
will measure the Coil (Suction Line) Temperature after each
Evaporator Coil line for each compressor, and this sensor will
be connected to an RSMV Module. This temperature will be
used in conjunction with the calculated saturated refrigerant
temperature to calculate the Superheat of each evaporator coil.
The EXV for each coil will then be controlled to maintain the
Superheat Setpoint.
Head Pressure Control
The Refrigerant System Module (RSM) can monitor a Head
Pressure Transducer and control a Condenser Fan to maintain a
Head Pressure Setpoint.
In Cooling Mode, the Condenser Signal will modulate to maintain
the Cooling Head Pressure Setpoint.
In Dehumidification Mode, the Condenser Output Signal controls
to the Reheat Head Pressure Setpoint. High Head Pressure
conditions produce the same effects as in the Cooling Mode.
See the appropriate RSM Technical Guide for a more detailed
sequence of operation.

Evaporative Condenser Operation
If the unit has been configured for Evaporative Condenser Control
and the Outdoor Air Temperature is above the Evaporative/
Modulating Condenser Low Ambient Setpoint, the Evaporative
Condenser Pump relay will energize to be used as the first
stage of head pressure control when the compressors are active.
Modulating condenser fan control will be the second stage.
If the Outdoor Air Temperature is below the Evaporative/
Modulating Condenser Low Ambient Setpoint, the modulating
condenser fan will be used as the first stage of head pressure
control, and the Evaporative Condenser Pump relay will energize
as the second stage.
If the head pressure is above the Cooling Head Pressure Setpoint
by the Evaporative Head Pressure Deadband Setpoint, the second
stage of head pressure control will be enabled. At this level below
the Cooling Head Pressure Setpoint, the second stage of head
pressure control will be disabled.
Sump Heater Operation
The Sump Heater relay activates if the sump temperature is below
the Sump Heater Enable Temperature Setpoint. The Sump Heater
relay deactivates once the Sump Temperature rises 10ºF above
the Sump Heater Enable Temperature Setpoint or if the Sump
Drain relay is active.
Sump Drain Enable Operation
If the Sump Temperature is below the Sump Drain Enable
Setpoint for one minute, the Sump Pump Drain relay will enable.
The Sump Drain Enable relay can be disabled in one of two ways:
1. Cycle power to the VCCX2 when the Sump Temp is
above the Sump Drain Enable Setpoint or
2. Use BACnet® point AV: 94 Sump Drain Override.
The BMS needs to set AV: 94’s value to 1 and back
to 0 when the Sump Temp is above the Sump Drain
Enable Setpoint.
Waterside Economizer (WSE)
Operation
If the unit is equipped with a Waterside Economizer (WSE), the
following describes the operation of the WSE Valve, the WSE
Bypass Valve, and the Condenser Valve operation during the
different modes.
Unit Off Mode and Unit Vent Mode
The WSE, Bypass, and Condenser Valves will be closed.
Unit Cooling Mode
If in Cooling Mode, the Entering Water Temperature is below the
Entering Air Temperature (measured by the sensor connected to
the Outdoor Temperature Sensor input), by the Entering Water
Control Deadband amount, the WSE Valve will modulate to
maintain the Cooling Supply Air Setpoint. The Bypass and
Condenser Valves will remain closed.
If the WSE Valve opens to 100% and cannot maintain the Cooling
Supply Air Setpoint, then the unit will enable and stage/modulate
compressors to maintain the Cooling Supply Air Setpoint, while
the WSE Valve is locked at 100%. The Bypass Valve will remain
closed, while the Condenser Valve will modulate to maintain the
Head Pressure Setpoint.
If the Outdoor Air Temperature is cooler than the Entering Water
Temperature, the WSE Valve will remain closed, and compressor
cooling will stage/modulate to maintain the Cooling Supply Air
Setpoint. The Bypass Valve will modulate to maintain the Head
Pressure Setpoint, and the Condenser Valve will be open.
Unit Heating Mode
The WSE Valve is closed, while the Bypass Valve and Condenser
Valves are open.
NOTE: For WSE Bypass Wiring, please see the Refrigerant
System Module for Digital Compressors (RSMD)
Technical Guide.
Waterside Economizer Flush Cycle
If the Economizer has been closed for 72 hours, a Flush Cycle
will be initiated the next time the compressor is activated or at
the next 6:00 AM time slot, whichever happens first. During the
Flush Cycle, the Economizer Valve will open for five minutes
and then close again. The 72-hour timer will restart once the
Flush Cycle is completed or the Economizer has been activated
and has closed again.
Temperature Protection
Temperature Protection is activated when the Supply Air
Temperature (SAT) rises above the High Cutoff Temperature
(immediate) or drops below the Low Cutoff Temperature (for 10
minutes). Both cutoff setpoints are user-adjustable. This mode
shuts off the unit.
This mode is canceled when the SAT drops 5ºF below the High
Cutoff Temperature Setpoint or rises 5ºF above the Low Temp
Cutoff Temperature Setpoint or when the unit changes back into
Occupied Mode.

The VCCX2 Controller continuously performs self diagnostics
during normal operation to determine if any operating failures
have occurred. These failures (alarms) can be reported to a Touch
Screen System Manager, a Hand Held Modular Service Tool, or
to a computer running Prism 2 software.
The following are the available alarm designations for the
VCCX2 Controller:

Sensor Failure Alarms
Supply Air Temperature Sensor Failure Alarm
The Supply Air Temperature Sensor Failure Alarm is generated
when the controller detects an open or short circuit on the Supply
Air Temperature Sensor input. Once the alarm is generated, the
unit will be completely shut down. If a sensor is properly detected
after the unit has alarmed, the alarm will be cleared and the unit
will restart operations.
Space Temperature Sensor Failure Alarm
If the Space Sensor is configured as the controlling sensor (Mode
Enable Sensor) or as the Reset Sensor, and if the controller
detects an open or short circuit on the Space Sensor Input, or
if the controller detects a missing E-BUS digital space sensor,
then a Space Temperature Sensor Failure Alarm is generated. If
the Space Sensor is configured as the controlling sensor and the
Failure Alarm is generated, the unit will shut down. If the Space
Sensor is only configured as a Reset Sensor and the Failure Alarm
is generated, the Space Temperature will default to a value half
way between the Heating and Cooling Mode Enable Setpoints,
and the unit will continue to run.
Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor Failure
Alarm
The Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor Failure Alarm is generated
when the controller detects an open or short circuit on the Outdoor
Air Temperature Sensor input. When this occurs, the outdoor
air reading will be artificially set to the half point between the
Cooling and Heating Lockout Setpoints. This will allow cooling
and heating to continue operating. If the Outdoor Air Temperature
Sensor is the controlling sensor (Mode Enable Sensor), this alarm
will also shut down the unit.
Return Air Sensor Failure Alarm
This alarm is generated if the controller is configured to have a
Return Air Sensor, but does not detect it.
CO2 Sensor Failure Alarm
This alarm is generated if the controller is configured to have a
CO2 sensor, but does not detect it. IAQ Mode is disabled when
this occurs. If a sensor is properly detected after the unit has
alarmed, the alarm will be cleared and the unit will return to
CO2 control.

If the controller is configured to have any of the above airflow
sensors, but the controller does not detect that the sensor is
connected, then the applicable alarm will occur. If the sensor
is properly detected after the unit has alarmed, the alarm will
be cleared.
Missing Expansion Module Alarm
Preheat-X Board Missing
EM1 Expansion Missing
RSM Modules #1 - #4 Missing
Reheat Board Missing
ModGas Board Missing
12 Relay Board Missing
If the controller is configured to have any of the above Expansion
Boards (Modules), but the controller does not detect that board,
then the applicable alarm will occur. If the board is properly
detected after the unit has alarmed, the alarm will be cleared.

Alarm Detection and Sensor Failure Alarms
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
Mechanical Failure Alarms
Mechanical Cooling Failure
Fixed Stage Cooling: The Mechanical Cooling Failure Alarm is
generated if the Supply Air Temperature fails to drop 5ºF (within
a user-adjustable time period) from the temperature the supply
air was at when the cooling was activated and the Supply Air
Temperature is not within 5ºF of the setpoint. The alarm will be
cleared when the Supply Air Temperature drops the 5ºF and sets
the failure timer back to zero.
Variable Capacity Compressors (Utilizing RSMs): This alarm
is not generated; instead, the user has to monitor the Compressor
Module Alarms for Mechanical Cooling issues.
This alarm is also not generated if using a modulating chilled
water valve.
Mechanical Heating Failure
For units with Fixed Stage Heating, the Mechanical Heating
Failure Alarm is generated if the Supply Air Temperature
fails to rise 5ºF (within a user-adjustable time period) from
the temperature the supply air was at when the heating was
activated and the Supply Air Temperature is not within 5 degrees
of Setpoint. The alarm will be cleared when the Supply Air
Temperature rises the 5ºF and sets the failure timer back to zero.
If using the PREHEAT-X, any alarm on the PREHEAT-X will
generate this alarm, also. This alarm is not generated if using a
modulating hot water valve.
Supply Fan Proof of Flow Interlock Alarm
A Proof of Flow Switch provides a 24 VAC wet contact closure
when the Supply Fan is operating. If this contact opens while the
fan is being called to run, all heating and cooling is disabled, the
Outdoor Air Damper closes (if it is not configured for Outdoor
Temperature Control or Space Control with high percentage
outdoor air), and a Fan Proving Alarm is generated. Fan Proving
needs to be configured for this alarm to occur. There is a 30
second delay for this alarm.
Return/Exhaust Fan Proving Alarm
There are configuration options for Return Fan Proving and
Exhaust Fan Proving Alarms. If the unit is configured for Return
Fan Proving, it is assumed that the Return Fan is wired in parallel
with the Supply Fan Relay. In this case, if the Supply Fan Relay
is energized, but the Return/Exhaust Fan Proving Binary Input
on the VCC-X EM1 Module does not see 24 VAC, a Return/
Exhaust Fan Proving Alarm will occur. If the unit is configured
for Building Pressure Control of the Exhaust Fan, if the Exhaust
relay is energized, but the Return/Exhaust Fan Proving binary
input on the VCC-X EM1 Module does not see 24 VAC, a Return/
Exhaust Fan Proving Alarm will occur.
Dirty Filter Alarm
A differential pressure switch is used to provide a 24 VAC wet
contact closure to indicate a Dirty Filter status. A Dirty Filter
Alarm is then generated. Dirty Filter needs to be configured for
this alarm to occur.
Emergency Shutdown Alarm
A 24 VAC wet contact input is available to be used when a
Normally Closed Smoke Detector, Firestat, or other shutdown
condition occurs. If this contact opens, it will initiate shutdown of
the VCCX2 and will generate an alarm condition. If an Occupied
relay is configured, it will remain energized. BACnet® override
commands are canceled if the Emergency Shutdown Alarm is
activated.
Failure Mode Alarms
High and Low Supply Air Temperature Alarms
If the Supply Air Temperature rises above the user-adjustable
High Supply Air Temperature Cutoff Setpoint, heating will be
immediately deactivated, and a High Supply Air Temperature
Cutoff Alarm will be generated. The fan will continue to run. This
mode and alarm will be canceled if the Supply Air Temperature
falls below the High Supply Air Temperature Cutoff Setpoint
by 5ºF.
If the Supply Air Temperature falls below the user-adjustable
Low Supply Air Temperature Cutoff Setpoint, all Mechanical
Cooling will be immediately deactivated. If, after 10 minutes, the
Supply Air Temperature is still below this setpoint, the fan will
be deactivated, the Outdoor Air Damper will close, and a Low
Supply Air Temperature Cutoff Alarm will be generated. This
mode and alarm will be canceled if the Supply Air Temperature
rises above the Low Supply Air Temperature Cutoff Setpoint
by 5ºF.
High and Low Space Temp Failure
When the Space Temperature rises above the Cooling Mode
Enable Setpoint plus the Control Mode High Alarm Offset
Setpoint for 30 seconds, the controller will generate a High
Control Temp Failure Alarm. When the Space Temperature drops
below the Heating Mode Enable Setpoint minus the Control
Mode Low Alarm Offset Setpoint for 30 seconds, the controller
will generate a Low Control Temp Failure Alarm. Both offset
setpoints are user-adjustable.
Preheat Low Temperature
This alarm indicates a Leaving Air Temperature Cutoff Alarm
condition which is activated if the Controlling Leaving Air
Temperature has dropped below 35ºF for more than two minutes.
The alarm will be disabled if after a fixed delay period the
Leaving Air Temperature has risen above 35ºF.

RSM Trend Logs
There can be as many as four RSMVs, four RSMDs, or six
RSMZs on a unit, with each RSM controlling up to two
compressors and condensers. These can be referred to as modules
1, 2, 3, and 4 or as modules A, B, C, and D. Various items
in the trend logs can refer to different modules and different
compressor/condensers on each module. For instance:
• 1A1: Stat refers to the status of Module 1/Compressor 1
• 4D1 would be Module 4/Compressor 1.
Likewise, 1SuctTmp1 refers to the suction (saturation)
temperature of Module 1/Compressor 1, while 3SucTmp2 refers
to the suction (saturation) temperature of Module 3/Compressor
2. Several trend log items will use this pattern to identify the
status of values related to certain modules and the compressors or
condensers on those modules. See Table 7, this page for RSMV
/ RSMD trend logs and Table 6, this page for RSMZ trend logs.

RSMZ Trend Logs and Trend Log Enumerated Values
VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
Trend Log Bit String Decoding
Bit String values allow the manipulation of binary data in useful
ways. For instance, a single trend log item may need to represent
multiple simultaneous true conditions. An example would be a
trend log item indicating what binary inputs are currently active,
what relays are currently active, or what alarms are currently
active. A single bit string value can be decoded to determine
which multiple conditions might be simultaneously true. This
section is not intended to be a full explanation of how bit strings
work, but just to explain how to decode the VCCX2 trend log
items that are indicated as being bit string values.
Example
Binary Inputs Bit String Values
0 = No Binary Inputs Active
1 = Fan Proving
2 = Dirty Filter
4 = Hood On/Off
8 = Remote Occupied
16 = Remote Cooling
32 = Remote Heating
64 = Remote Dehumidification
128 = Emergency Shutdown
If the trend log bit string value was 22 for Binary Inputs, you first
identify the highest value shown above that can be subtracted
from 22. That would be 16 (Remote Cooling). So, the Remote
Cooling binary input is currently active. From the remainder of
6 (22 - 16 = 6) you then subtract out the next highest possible
number. That would be 4 = Hood On/Off. So, the Hood On/Off
binary input is also currently active. From the remainder of 2
(6 – 4 = 2) you subtract out the next highest possible number
which is 2 = Dirty Filter. So, the Dirty Filter binary input is also
currently active. There is no remainder (2 – 2 = 0), so there are
no more inputs that are active. From the one value of 22 you are
able to determine that three binary inputs were active when that
trend item was recorded.
With a value of 86, you would have started with 64 = Remote
Dehumidification. This would have left a remainder of 22 (86 –
64 = 22) and you would then continue on to get the same three
additional binary inputs in the previous paragraph.
With any trend log value that is designated to be a bit string value
you simply identify from the trend log section in this technical
guide what the bit string values are for each status condition and
perform the same calculation.
The table that follows provides the Bits, values and descriptions
for the various points on the VCCX2 Controller and associated
modules.
RSMZ VFD Status Decoding
For the RSMZ VFD status, instead of just one set of bit string
values, there are two. The trend log bit string value represents
the values in the BIT=1 column. All other values not represented
in the trend log bit string are then active in the BIT=0 column.
Example
If the trend log bit string was 5, then the following
status would be true
0 = Timer Okay
0 = Torque Okay
0 = Voltage Okay
0 = Drive Okay
0 = No Operation
0 = Out of Frequency Limit
0 = Local Operation
0 = Speed Not Equal Reference
0 = No Warning
0 = No Error
0 = No Error
1 = Enable (Bit Value = 4)
0 = Drive Not Ready
1 = Control Ready (Bit Value = 1)

VCCX2 Controller Technical Guide
VCCX2 Controller LEDs
The VCCX2 Controller is equipped with LEDs that can be used
to verify operation and perform troubleshooting. There are LEDs
for communication, operation modes, and diagnostic codes. The
VCCX2 Controller has 26 LEDs—10 used for operation and
status, eight are used for relays, and eight are used for binary
inputs. See Figure 46, page 101 for the LED locations. The
LEDs associated with these inputs and outputs allow you to see
what is active without using a voltmeter. The LEDs and their
uses are as follows:
Operation LEDs - Factory Troubleshooting
POWER - This green LED will light up to indicate that 24 VAC
power has been applied to the controller.
APP HB - This green LED will light up and blink continuously
to indicate the application software is working properly.
OS HB - This green LED will light up and blink continuously
to indicate the operating system is working properly.
WDOG - This green LED will light up and stay lit to indicate
the operating system is working properly.
Diagnostic LEDs
ALARM - This red LED is a diagnostic blink code LED. It will
light up and stay lit when there is an alarm present. The type of
alarm will display on the LCD display.
STATUS 1 - This red LED is a diagnostic blink code LED.
Under normal operation, it should not be blinking. If the LED
is blinking non-stop along with Status 2 LED, the controller is
resetting factory defaults.
STATUS 2 - This red LED is a diagnostic blink code LED. If the
software is running, this LED should blink at a rate of one blink
every 10 seconds. If there is an override, the LED will blink two
times every 10 seconds. And finally, if one of the outputs is in
Force Mode, the LED will blink three times every 10 seconds.
Communication LEDs
EBUS - This yellow LED will blink to signal E-BUS
communications.
LOOP COMM - This yellow LED will light up and blink
continuously to indicate the VCCX2 Controller is communicating.
BACnet®- This yellow LED will light up and blink continuously
to indicate BACnet® communications.
Relay LEDs
RLY1 - This green LED will light up when the Supply Fan is
enabled and will stay lit as long as the Supply Fan is active.
RLY2 - RLY8 - These green LEDs will light up when the relays
are enabled and will stay lit as long as they are active.
Binary Input LEDs
BIN1 - This green LED will light up when the Proof of Flow
Contact is closed.
BIN2 - This green LED will light up when the Dirty Filter
Switch is closed.
BIN3 - This green LED will light up when the Hood On/Off
Switch is closed.
BIN4 - This green LED will light up when the Remote Occupied
Switch is closed.
BIN5 - This green LED will light up when the Remote Cooling
Contact is closed.
BIN6 - This green LED will light up when the Remote Heating
Switch is closed.
BIN7 - This green LED will light up when the Remote
Dehumidification Switch is closed.
BIN8 - This green LED will light up when the Emergency
Shutdown Contact is closed.
VCC-X EM1 Expansion Module LEDs
The VCC-X EM1 Expansion Module is equipped with 4 LEDs
that can be used as very powerful troubleshooting tools. See
Figure 47, page 101 for LED locations. The LEDs and their
uses are as follows:
PWR - This LED will light up to indicate that 24 VAC power
has been applied to the controller.
ALARM - If the module does not receive communications for
more than 1 minute, this LED will light up, the relays will turn
off, and the Analog Outputs will go to 0 VDC.
STAT - If the software is running, this LED should blink at a
rate of 1 blink per second.
COMM - Every time the module receives a valid E-BUS request
from the VCCX2 Controller, this LED will blink on and then
off, signifying that it received a valid request and responded.
Binary Input LEDs
BIN1 - This green LED will light up when the Return/Exhaust
Proof of Flow contact is closed.
RSM LEDs
The RSM LEDs are described in the RSM Technical Guides.
