Figure 1: Typical TEC Zoning Control System Installed on a Single MS/TP Bus
The TEC Zoning Control System features a fully scalable network architecture
using BACnet MS/TP communication capability that operates with a supervisory
controller, or it can operate as a stand-alone system. This cost-effective zoning
control system provides efficient space temperature control for constant volume,
pressure-dependent systems in multi-zone heating and cooling applications.
The TEC Zoning Control System uses standard BACnet objects for automatic
self-binding zone-controller-to-rooftop-controller configuration, communicating
in a peer-to-peer manner. Pre-configured sequences reduce the need for
programming and eliminate flash downloading. Plain text menus, backlit display,
and multiple interface keys make setup and operation quick and easy.

Combined, this system delivers a simple yet efficient way to operate and control
pressure-dependent Variable Air Volume (VAV) zones with rooftop units.
System control implementation is based on demand. The system is designed to
work with small- to medium-sized staged heating and cooling rooftop unit
equipment (2 to 20 tons typical).
A local BACnet MS/TP Bus between all devices provides effective
communication and smooth data exchange of all required information between the
zone controllers and the rooftop controllers for proper system operation.
Integration into any BACnet supervision system is seamless.
The zone controller and rooftop controller feature a backlit Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) with dedicated function menu buttons for simple user operation. Accurate
temperature control is achieved through a unique, Proportional-Integral (PI)
time-proportioning algorithm that virtually eliminates temperature offset
associated with traditional, differential-based thermostats.
The zone controller is specifically designed for local pressure-dependent VAV
zone control within Johnson Controls zoning system product family. The primary
damper output uses an off-the-shelf, standard 0 to 10 VDC VAV actuator for
control.

size the installed equipment for the properly calculated heating and/or cooling
peak loads. Oversizing the installed capacity more than what is required is not
advantageous, as it simply leads to short cycling of the equipment during small
load periods.
properly size and lay out the duct work (including the bypass damper) in
accordance with local, national, and regional regulations. The TEC Zoning
Control System is a low static pressure system, and it must be designed so the
failure of the bypass damper subsystem does not cause failure of the ducts.
properly size the capacity of the zone versus its true requirements. Square
footage calculations can cause the installed total deliverable load to be
insufficient for the actual use of an area (for example, a conference room,
computer room, or a cafeteria).
Although the TEC Zoning Control System does not correct for a wrong initial
mechanical layout and associated load calculations, the control system does
dramatically help deliver the load required by voting zones. The control system
accomplishes the delivery by appropriately distributing the total available capacity
of the installed equipment to the required voting zones. If the equipment is
undersized for the peak load, the control system distributes the available capacity
according to the priorities requested, to improve the comfort level of the majority
of zones.
Proper planning and design plays a critical role in getting an installation up and
running faster, and with fewer service calls during the initial occupancy period.

In colder climates, VAV system heating operation without terminal reheat typically
results in colder walls on the outer perimeter of the zone. Although the dry bulb
temperature of the zone is well maintained, occupants may be uncomfortable
simply because of the lower outer wall temperature. In addition, heating delivery
from the ceiling in outside zones is not as efficient as heating delivery directly
where the losses occur, such as when a perimeter electric baseboard or a perimeter
hydronic baseboard is used.
In regions where the heating load is low and only required for a short period of the
year, a properly sized VAV system can deliver the required heating comfort
without the use of terminal reheat. Ideally, the design of the ductwork and area
diffusers should be the most efficient arrangement possible, with the heating
delivery concentrated close to the outer walls of the zone.
In problematic situations where efficient heating delivery is an issue, fan powered
VAV systems can reduce occupancy discomfort by providing a constant flow to the
zones, to maximize heating delivery.
Exception Areas
An office installation typically requires that a single VAV system service multiple
areas or zones. These areas are likely a mix of internal and external zones. Verify
the requirements of each zone to determine a true total peak load before
committing to a final VAV system design and size.
It may be necessary to intentionally oversize or undersize the VAV system to meet
the daily load demands. The following are examples where oversizing may be
required:
areas with large windows that are exposed to the sun for long periods of time
conference rooms
cafeterias
Areas such as computer rooms, kitchens, or large meeting rooms may require an
independent VAV system, and should not be included with other zones that are
networked to the rooftop controller. Certain critical areas may call for cooling all
year long and, based on the VAV system settings, could provide proper occupancy
comfort for only a portion of the year. Knowing in advance the critical areas of the
building, and designing for these zones appropriately, results in a more
comfortable environment for all building occupants.

Zone MAC is the unique device address of the zone controller (from 004 to 127) on the MS/TP network.
RTC MAC is the unique device address of the rooftop controller (from 004 to 127) on the MS/TP network.
The standby setpoints are used in the standby mode. The PIR Func parameter must be set to on, or the BI1 parameter
must be set to either MotionNO or MotionNC to enable the standby mode.
The settings for this parameter are valid only if the analog reheat sequences are enabled.
The settings for this parameter can only be enabled if an outside air temperature sensor is connected and ready for
operation.
The MaxHTPos value should never be lower than the Min Pos value; likewise, the MaxHTPos value should never be
higher than the Max Pos value.
The setting for this parameter does not change the PI demand used locally at the zone controller to maintain the setpoint;
instead, it only adjusts the PI demand transferred to the rooftop controller for its highest/average demand calculations.

The PIR onboard occupancy sensor allows for automatic switching between fully
adjustable occupied and standby temperature setpoints without user interaction.
This feature results in incremental energy savings during scheduled occupied
periods when the space is not being used.
Demand-Based Heating and Cooling System
The system operation determines which zone controllers have heating and cooling
weighted votes used by the associated rooftop controller. The rooftop controller
uses the weighted heating and cooling demand values from selected zones to
determine if heating or cooling action is required for the system.
Internal and external zones are typically serviced from the same rooftop controller.
As a result, the system may be exposed to conflicting mid-season heating and
cooling demands. The conflicting demands are addressed with the heating and
cooling lockouts, based on the outside air temperature at the rooftop controller.
The heating or cooling action at the zone depends on how the rooftop controller
treats and calculates what is delivered to the zones. Many factors influence the
delivery and availability of hot or cold air to satisfy the current zone demand.
Table 3 through Table 5 shows the rooftop controller system mode calculation
based on the highest demand of the zones, the average of the three highest
demands, or the average of the five highest demands.

Table 5 shows that the resulting heat and cool weight used by the rooftop controller
for the five voting zones is different, meaning different heating and cooling action
based on the configuration of the rooftop controller. The heating or cooling action
delivered to the zones also depends on the heating and cooling lockout functions,
which are based on the outside air temperature and the supply air temperature.
Overrides and Zone Controller User Interface Lockouts
Specific functions on each zone controller can be locked out by the local user. This
interface lockout prevents unauthorized inputs to the system, typically in public
areas or other areas where certain interface functions need to be prevented. The
lockout level is accessed via the Lockout parameter in the Installer Configuration
Menu. Simply set the appropriate lockout level for each zone according to the
system requirements. See Table 6 for details regarding the various lockout levels.

Pressing local keys that have their function locked out causes a keypad lock
message to appear on the zone controller display. If a global override is required
for the entire system and all of the zones go into the occupied mode, the override
must be enabled at the rooftop controller. To accomplish this override, use the local
user menu at the rooftop controller or configure the extra digital input for a remote
override button (if it must be installed centrally).
Zone Setpoint Limits
Note that a demand-based heating and cooling system is designed to respond to the
actual local demand of a number of selected zones; this is the case even if the local
demand cannot be met by the central system.
Limit the setpoint adjustments of all zone controllers, especially if they have
demand voting capability at the rooftop controller. Doing so prevents any local
setpoint adjustments from creating heating or cooling lockout conditions at the
rooftop controller, when local setpoints are unattainable. This scenario also
prevents a voting zone controller from having unreasonable authority over the
system.
Example: If a local user sets the current occupied setpoint to 62F (17C), the
PI weighted demand sent by this zone to the rooftop controller is always at its
maximum value.
See Table 7 for recommended local heating and cooling setpoint limits.

For any system to operate properly, carefully determine which zones drive the
system and their weight for demand calculations. The recommendations included
in Table 8 are provided as a general rule, and should be re-evaluated on a per-job
basis depending on the specifics of the system design and layout.

Choose a practical number of zones per rooftop controller, to allow comfort in all zones.
Not all zones in the system need to be voting zones. Generally, anywhere from
a third to half of the total number of zones in the system should be voting
zones.
For larger installations where internal zones (zones not exposed to an outside
wall) are included in the system, there should be a ratio of approximately four
external voting zones for every one internal voting zone.
areas that are exposed to the highest peak heating and cooling loads.
areas that include a significant portion of the equipment peak load capacity.
For example, if a system has five zones where one of the zones represents
half of the peak load capacity, that zone should be selected as a voting
zone.
areas that are subject to momentary spikes in occupancy (if those zones are
expected to respond during increased occupancy periods). Typical
examples include conference rooms, cafeterias, or other common areas.
Consider the following regarding weight parameter values of the voting zones:
26
Internal zones do not affect the heating demand calculation; instead, they only
affect the cooling demand calculation. Internal zones typically call for cooling
during occupied periods, even during the winter months. If the internal zones
ever call for heating, then it is certain that the surrounding external zones are
already in the heating mode.

This parameter sets the minimum position of the zone damper to deliver the
minimum amount of air to the zone in all conditions. When powered up, the
damper never closes below the minimum position setting.

This parameter sets the maximum position of the zone damper to deliver the
maximum amount of hot or cold air to the zone in all conditions. When powered
up, the damper never opens above the maximum position setting.
Note: Use the Max Pos parameter to set the maximum amount of hot air
delivered to the zone; not the MaxHTPos parameter. See Maximum Heat
Flow Adjustment (MaxHTPos Parameter) on page 28 for a description of
the MaxHTPos parameter.
The Max Pos parameter is also used to set the maximum amount of cold air
delivered to the zone.
Maximum Heat Flow Adjustment (MaxHTPos Parameter)
Many assume the MaxHTPos parameter sets the maximum amount of hot air
delivered to the zone, but that is not a correct assumption. Instead, the Max Pos
parameter sets both the maximum amount of hot air and the maximum amount of
cold air delivered to the zone. See Maximum Position Adjustment
(Max Pos Parameter) on page 28 for a description of the Max Pos parameter.
The MaxHTPos parameter sets the minimum heating position of the zone damper,
to maximize hot airflow on a call for reheat with cold supply air. The MaxHTPos
function is only used if the local reheat configuration (RehtConf parameter) is set
to any value other than (0): None (no local reheat). Table 9 includes the maximum
heat flow adjustments for the various reheat stages and reheat output time bases.

The selected minimum position of the zone damper has a direct impact on the
temperature stability within certain zones. Having a minimum position selected
can produce an overcooling and/or overheating effect. This effect is created by the
minimum position, when the primary air temperature is in the opposite mode than
what the zone currently requires (for example, an internal zone that is calling for
cooling in the winter, while the rooftop controller is supplying hot air for the
external zones).
Depending on the application, setting a minimum position for a zone damper may
be mandatory. Eliminating this minimum position, or at least lowering it to a value
below the standard, may resolve certain system design issues. A good example of
this is an internal zone with a grossly oversized VAV unit.

Terminal Reheat Lockout
It is desirable to lock out the local terminal reheat of the zones during the summer
months when reheat is not required. Locking out the local terminal reheat prevents
calls for local reheat simply based on a configured outside air temperature value.
Table 11 includes the terminal reheat lockout adjustments for the various reheat
stages.

RTC MAC is the unique device address of the rooftop controller (from 004 to 127) on the MS/TP network.
Local Unocc Override appears only when in the Unoccupied mode.
When adjusting the numeric value, press the UP/DOWN arrow key to change the value by single increments; press and

When adjusting the temperature, press the UP/DOWN arrow key to change the value in 0.5F/0.5C increments; press and
hold the UP/DOWN arrow key to change the value in 5.0F/5.0C increments.
When adjusting the temperature, press the UP/DOWN arrow key to change the value in 5.0F/5.0C increments; press and

This value is adjustable in 0.1 in. W.C./25 Pa increments.
Heating and cooling demand is first exchanged from the zone controllers to the
rooftop controller. These output values are based on the PI heating weight
configuration and the PI cooling weight configuration. Each voting zone also
calculates its demand values based on the occupancy mode and setpoints currently
in use: either Unoccupied, Standby, or Occupied.

The rooftop controller calculates the resulting PI heating and cooling demands
based on the control type configuration (CntrlTyp parameter setting). See
Demand-Based Heating and Cooling System on page 22 for more information.
Many factors can limit action to the heating and cooling stages, including:
fixed 2-minute delay when the rooftop controller toggles between heating and
cooling
The rooftop controller forwards the following data to the zone controllers:
current zone sequence required (either hot or cold air delivered to the zone)
The occupancy mode of all the zones in a system is typically dictated by the
rooftop controller schedule. If the schedule output value is unoccupied (as
displayed on the rooftop controller), then the zones in the system are in the
unoccupied mode. If the schedule output value is occupied (as displayed on the
rooftop controller), then the zones in the system are either in the occupied mode or
the standby mode if the local PIR function is used.
It is possible to use a remote schedule via the DI1 parameter with a time clock
input, an occupancy sensor, or from a voltage-free contact. Doing so disables the
local schedule occupancy function to the zones.
Global override for the entire system including all zones is initiated at the rooftop
controller level only. Set the override using the Main User Menu at the rooftop
controller, or by configuring the extra digital input (DI1 parameter) for a remote
override button if it is required to be installed centrally.
Any zone overrides trigger the necessary heating or cooling action for the required
zone only. All other zones in the system that do not require an override remain in
the unoccupied mode.

The rooftop controller can be set to lock out specific functions performed by the
local user. This interface lockout prevents unauthorized inputs to the system,
typically in public areas or other areas where certain interface functions need to be
prevented. The lockout level is accessed via the Lockout parameter in the Installer
Configuration Menu. Simply set the appropriate lockout level for each zone
according to the system requirements. See Table 13 for details regarding the
various lockout levels.

One problematic aspect of any VAV zoning control system is high heating or
cooling demand when most of the zone dampers are closed. As a result of this
situation, most of the supply air is recirculated through the pressure bypass,
leading to extremely hot or cold supply air conditions.
To prevent high supply air temperatures (specifically with gas heating systems), set
the discharge air high limit temperature (Dis HL parameter) to the required value.
Default: 120.0F/49.0C
When adjusting the temperature, press the UP/DOWN arrow key to change the
value in 0.5F/0.5C increments; press and hold the UP/DOWN arrow key to
change the value in 5.0F/5.0C increments.
To prevent low supply air temperatures (specifically to guard against coil freeze-up
when a high bypass ratio is in effect), set the discharge air low limit temperature
(Dis LL parameter) to the required value.

Default: 45.0F/7.0C
When adjusting the temperature, press the UP/DOWN arrow key to change the
value in 0.5F/0.5C increments; press and hold the UP/DOWN arrow key to
change the value in 5.0F/5.0C increments.

Technical Bulletin
Use the C lock parameter to disable cooling operation in response to the outside air
temperature. Likewise, use the H lock parameter to disable heating operation in
response to the outside air temperature. Both the heating and cooling outside air
temperature lockouts require that an outside air temperature sensor be installed and
connected.
The installer is responsible for setting the rooftop controller mode lockouts
properly to minimize heating and cooling equipment cycling while considering
occupancy comfort. The lockout settings are also dependent on the load
requirements for the specific geographical region:
In cool climate regions, the installer may allow the rooftop controller to deliver
heating up to a 75F (24C) outside air temperature due to the amount of the
time it takes for building mass to heat up when transitioning from a cold night
into a hot, mid-season day.
In warm climate regions, the installer may allow the rooftop controller to
deliver cooling without a cooling mode lockout, while imposing strong
restrictions on the heating side of the system.
Heating and cooling equipment cycling occurs only in the overlapping deadband
between the C lock and H lock parameter settings as illustrated in Figure 5. The
tighter the deadband between these two parameter settings, the less heating and
cooling equipment cycling occurs.

Typically, the number of rooftop controller heating and cooling switchover cycles
during conflicting demand periods is approximately the same as the number of
heating and cooling cycles per hour (Heat cph and Cool cph parameters). The
default for Heat cph and Cool cph is four cycles per hour, meaning two heating
cycles and two cooling cycles within a 1-hour period.
The recorded rooftop controller change in supply temperature and demand
variances is always higher when using the Highest demand control-type operation
versus the Average demand method calculations. Energy consumption is also
higher with the Highest demand control-type operation versus the Average demand
method calculations.
Bypass Damper Control and Operation
The rooftop controller has a built-in static pressure control loop with an analog
0 to 10 VDC bypass damper output. For proper operation, the static pressure
control loop must have a static pressure sensor connected to the static pressure
input (Terminal SP) on the rooftop controller. Typically, the static pressure sensor
probe is installed approximately two-thirds the way down the main ventilation
trunk.
The required static pressure transducer needs to be a voltage type (0 to 5 VDC
input range) with a 24 VAC half-wave (rectifier) power supply. Set the static
pressure transducer range (using the SP range parameter) to one of the following:
Set the static pressure transducer setpoint is using the Pressure parameter. The
default setpoint is 0.8 in. W.C./200 Pa, and is adjustable from 0 in. W.C./0 Pa to
2 in. W.C./500 Pa in 0.1 in. W.C./25 Pa increments.
The static pressure scale automatically changes from inches of water column
(in. W.C.) to Pascals (Pa) when the Units parameter is changed from
(Imp): Fahrenheit/in. W.C. to (Si): Celsius/Pa.
Operation of the static pressure control loop depends on whether the fan is
running. For proper operation of the static pressure control loop, the static pressure
control actuator must be installed properly. When the control signal is 0 VDC, the
static pressure damper is fully closed with no air recirculating from the supply to
the return. Conversely, when the control signal is 10 VDC, the static pressure
damper is fully open with maximum air recirculating from the supply to the return.
TEC Zoning Control System for Stand-Alone and BACnet MS/TP Networked Applications
Technical Bulletin
41
When the fan output is off (Terminal G), the static pressure control loop is also off
and the bypass damper is fully open to the 10 VDC output. This condition
minimizes the air pressure related noise during initial fan startup. Be aware that the
fan is always on during occupied periods, and that it only cycles on demand with
the heating and cooling stages during unoccupied periods.
When the fan output is on (Terminal G), the static pressure control loop is enabled
and the bypass damper modulates to maintain the desired static pressure setpoint
based on the static pressure input reading at the rooftop controller. Use the Manual
Scroll Display feature at the rooftop controller to locate the Pressure parameter
and determine the current static pressure value.

If a local PIR occupancy sensor cover is installed, the PIR Func parameter
must be set to on.
If a remote PIR occupancy sensor is attached to BI1, the BI1 parameter must
be set to MotionNO or MotionNC.

The PIR occupancy sensing function is only used during occupied periods. If
occupancy is desired during an unoccupied period, simply press the local override
button (if allowed by the local lockout level configuration). The local occupancy
toggles to override (local occupied) per the TOccTime parameter setting for
overrides.
If the PIR occupancy sensor detects no motion, the zone controller remains in the
standby mode. If motion is detected, the zone controller switches to the occupied
mode for a period of 60 minutes after the last motion was detected. When the
60-minute period expires and no additional motion is detected, the zone controller
switches back to the standby mode.

System Commissioning
For the TEC Zoning Control System to operate properly, proper system
commissioning must be accomplished at all levels of the control system. A
properly operating control system depends heavily on both the demand and the
response functions being fully functional at the rooftop controller level, as well as
at the zone controller level.
Proper Commissioning of the Zone Controllers
54
Properly design and size the VAV zone damper and the air distribution system
to accommodate peak load demands when the rooftop controller delivers the
capacity.
Check that the full span of the damper blade rotation is available to the VAV
actuator and the zone controller. There should be no mechanical limits on the
damper blade rotation, since those limits are set by the zone controller
parameters.
Set the VAV actuator for either Direct Acting (DA) or Reverse Acting (RA). If
the actuator is reversed, the zone demand can never be satisfied. If the zone is a
voting zone, it continuously sends demand signals to the rooftop controller.
TEC Zoning Control System for Stand-Alone and BACnet MS/TP Networked Applications
Technical Bulletin
Properly set the Min Pos, Max Pos, and MaxHTPos parameters during zone
damper balancing. If the local VAV trunk is equipped with a main trunk-side
takeoff directional adjustment blade, additional adjustments are also required.
Evaluate and set the parameters for the reheat lockouts, setpoint limits, user
interface lockouts, and demand weight adjustments to the rooftop controller,
according to the installation requirements.
Set all zone controllers associated with the same rooftop controller to the same
RTC MAC parameter setting as the rooftop controller.
Size the heating and cooling capacity of the rooftop controller to respond to the
highest instantaneous peak loads from the associated zones.
Incorporate the proper strategy and system layout into the mechanical system
architecture.
Properly commission and verify the bypass damper system. A wrongly set up
bypass damper system may result in all of the zones being properly
commissioned and sized, but the rooftop controller still may not deliver the
capacity to the zones.
Evaluate and set the parameters for the heating and cooling lockouts, control
type strategy, discharge air high and low limits, static pressure transducer
range, and static pressure transducer setpoint, according to the installation
requirements.

Note: We recommend that all zone controller and rooftop controller configuration
parameters be set as desired prior to mapping the objects into the controller.
If any zone controller or rooftop controller configuration parameters are
altered after the objects are mapped into the controller, we recommend that
all objects be remapped. We also recommend caution when mapping
configuration parameters, as they should only be mapped if the operator is
fully familiar with their use.
2. Verify that a Field Bus is defined in the NAE. BACnet MS/TP devices attach to
a Field Bus. Refer to the BACnet MS/TP Integration with NAE Technical
Bulletin (LIT-12011013) for instructions on how to define a Field Bus.
3. For Metasys system software prior to Release 4.0, verify that a BACnet
Integration is defined for the Field Bus. The zone controller and rooftop
controller are mapped as BACnet devices under a Field Bus BACnet
Integration. Refer to the BACnet Controller Integration with NAE/NCE
Technical Bulletin (LIT-1201531) for instructions on how to define a BACnet
Integration.
Note: For Metasys system Release 4.0 or later software, this step is not
required.
At this point, the zone controller and rooftop controller (and the required point
objects inside the zone controller and rooftop controller) can be mapped.

Device object instances used with BACnet communication must be unique to fully
satisfy the requirements of BACnet MS/TP network guidelines. The zone
controller automatically selects a device object instance for itself using the format
72aaa, where aaa designates the device address selected (from 004 to 127) on the
MS/TP network (for example, 72004, 72005). If you need to change this instance
by writing a new one into the zone controller device object, do so before any point
objects are mapped. This number goes into the Instance Number field, Network
section, Hardware tab, of the Configure step in the Insert Field Device Wizard.

Ground the circuit if required. The common side of the circuit is connected to
earth (0 V ~ Com). To prevent ground loops, grounding is required at only one
location.

design-phase tasks such as load calculations, ductwork layout and sizing, and
equipment selection
Proper planning and design plays a critical role in getting an installation up and
running in an efficient manner, with fewer service calls during the initial
occupancy period.
Occupancy Operation
Users are able to override the entire occupancy status of the TEC Zoning Control
System from the rooftop controller. When keypad lockout Level 0 or Level 1 is
enabled and the user presses the Override key, the occupancy object of the rooftop
controller changes to Temporary Occupied. All associated zone controllers with
their network handle set to Default Zone Handle also have their occupancy object
change to Temporary Occupied.

Occupancy Schedule
When viewing the rooftop controller schedule from the FX User Interface, the
screen may initially appear as scrambled. If this condition occurs, simply click the
left mouse button and the screen refreshes properly. It may be necessary to assign
text to the states of the schedule. If this is the case, assign Ordinal 2 to Occupied
and Ordinal 3 to Unoccupied via the Facets button of the Property Sheet.
For proper display when viewing the rooftop controller schedule from the
NAE User Interface, check that the schedule for each day does not have identical
Occupied and Unoccupied times. For example, a day that has both the Occupied
and Unoccupied times scheduled for 12:00 A.M. does not display correctly. If the
states of the displayed schedule do not show as Occupied and Unoccupied, it may
be necessary to edit the states text and/or default schedule command. It may take a
few minutes for the revised schedule to display at the NAE User Interface,
following schedule updates at the rooftop controller.
Scheduled commands that cross over midnight may show a gray background for
the next day. This gray background represents the continuation of the command
that existed prior to midnight.
