Description
The MS-VMA1620-0 monitors and operates variable air volume boxes, running pre-engineered and user-programmed applications for cooling with reheat and fan control. It combines a digital controller, a 4 N·m damper actuator, and a differential pressure transducer in one assembly, reducing field wiring and separate component mounting on the VAV box.
It carries a 1 UI, 3 BO, 2 CO point configuration and operates on an RS-485 BACnet MS/TP bus as a BACnet Application Specific Controller within the web-based Metasys system. Power comes from a 24 VAC Class 2 supply drawing 10 VA typical, and inputs and outputs land on 1/4" spade-lug terminations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the MS-VMA1620-0 require a separate actuator?
No. The actuator is integral, delivering 4 N·m of torque to drive the VAV box damper directly, so no external actuator is needed.
What network does the MS-VMA1620-0 communicate on?
It operates on an RS-485 BACnet MS/TP bus as a BACnet Application Specific Controller and integrates into the web-based Metasys system.
What is the minimum damper shaft length for installation?
The integral actuator requires a minimum shaft length of 44 mm (1-3/4") to mount directly onto the VAV box damper shaft.
