PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS Coming Soon to Controls Central! A new cost effective solution is available for upgrading line-voltage fan coil unit thermostats! The new Viconics fan coil unit requires installation of only two components: The VTR7300 terminal equipment controller and the VC3000 relay pack, which allows reuse of existing line-voltage wiring between the fan coil unit and temperature controller to be reused thereby reducing overall costs, labor and installation time for both retrofit and new construction control projects. The controllers are available as stand-alone, network-ready, BACnet MS/TP, Lontalk or wireless ZigBee networked models. The pack features an onboard universal voltage power supply and line-voltage relays which directly drives fractional horsepower fan motors and valves. This eliminates the need to install and wire costly pilot relays and transformers. The VTR7300 wall mounted controller features a digital display and built-in commissioning and configuration utility, temperature sensor and optional humidity and passive infra red occupancy sensor.
