PIR Ready VTR7300 Series
Terminal Equipment Controllers
For Commercial and Lodging HVAC Fan Coil Applications
(Issue Date: March 29, 2010 – 028-0298_R0)
Product overview
The VTR73XX Series Fan Coil Terminal Equipment Controller used in conjunction with
the VC3000 Series Line Voltage Switching Relay Packs is specifically designed for fan
coil control applications. They can be used both for new or retrofit applications. In
retrofit applications, they can re-use the existing wires between the old line voltage
switching thermostat and the fan coil thus saving on the installation of any new wires.
Stand-alone and network operation are available.
The VTR73XX Series Fan Coil Terminal Equipment Controller features a backlit LCD
display with dedicated function menu buttons for simple operation. Accurate
temperature control is achieved due to the product’s PI proportional control algorithm,
which virtually eliminates temperature offset associated with traditional, differential-
based Terminal Equipment Controllers. All models feature configurable System and
Fan button functions to meet all possible applications The VTR73XX Terminal
Equipment Controllers are powered and communicate with the associated VC3000 Series Transformer Relay Pack(s) using
only 3 wires.
2 types of interfaces for the user can be ordered. The VC73x5 models are typically used for hotel and lodging applications
where the middle button of the interface is for the user to select the local displayed scale in ºF or ºC. The VC73x0 models are
typically used for commercial and institution applications where the middle button of the interface is defined for the local
unoccupied override function.
The VTR73XX Terminal Equipment Controllers are also compatible with the new Viconics PIR cover accessories. Terminal
Equipment Controllers equipped with a PIR cover provide advanced active occupancy logic, which will automatically switch
occupancy levels from Occupied to Stand-By and Unoccupied as required by local activity being present or not. This advanced
occupancy functionality provides advantageous energy savings during occupied hours without sacrificing occupant comfort. All
Terminal Equipment Controllers can be ordered with or without a factory installed PIR cover ( see ordering notes below ).
The compatible VC3000 Series Line Voltage Switching Transformer Relay Pack(s) operate as slave unit(s) under the control of
a single master VTR73XX Terminal Equipment Controller. A single VTR73XX Terminal Equipment Controller can control up to
10 VC3000 Series Relay Pack. The VC3000 Series Relay Packs are line-powered units. They locally contain all the relay
outputs for fan switching and valve control. Models are also available for extra monitoring / control inputs of the Fan Coil Units.

Programming and status display instructions
Status display
The VTR73xxA Terminal Equipment Controller features a two-line, eight-character display. There is a low-level backlight
level that is always active and can only be seen at night.
When left unattended, the Terminal Equipment Controller has an auto scrolling display that shows the actual status of
the system. There is an option in the configuration menu to lockout the scrolling display and to only present the room
temperature and conditional outdoor temperature to the user. With this option enabled, no local status is given of mode,
occupancy and relative humidity.
Each item is scrolled one by one with the back lighting in low level mode. Pressing any key will cause the back light to
come on to high level. When left unattended for 10 seconds after changes are made, the display will resume automatic
status display scrolling.
To turn on the back light to high level, press any key on the front panel. The back lit display will return to low level when
the Terminal Equipment Controller is left unattended for 45 seconds

(Window) EMS: Forces the system to disable any current heating or cooling action
by the Terminal Equipment Controller. The mode stays the same and the current
setpoints are the same Occupied setpoints. Only the outputs are disabled. There is
a Door/Window alarm displayed on the Terminal Equipment Controller to indicate
to the local tenant that the door/window needs to be closed for cooling or heating to
resume.

(Door Dry) Door contact & Motion detector: This configuration is only functional
if binary input #1 is set to Motion NO or Motion NC or a PIR accessory cover is
used.
With this sequence enabled, the occupancy is now dictated through those 2 inputs.
Any motion detected will set the zone to occupied status. The zone will remain
permanently in occupied mode until the door contact switch opens momentarily.
The Terminal Equipment Controller will then go in stand-by mode. If more
movements are detected, the occupied mode will resume. While the door is
opened, any movements detected by the remote PIR sensor or the PIR accessory
cover will be ignored. Use a Normally Closed contact switching device.
