FX-PCV1826/1832 Programmable VAV Box
Controller Installation Instructions
Applications
FX-PCV1826 controllers are well-suited for commercial zoning applications and can be used
for pressure dependent VAV box applications where no differential pressure tranduser (DPT) is
required.
Note: At Controller Configuration Tool (CCT) 13.0 or later, using Release Mode 10.1, the PCV18
Series controllers can be configured as either N2 devices or as standard BACnet® MS/TP
devices. This ability provides a potential cost-effective protocol upgrade path for existing
customers and should be considered when you install the controller.
Important: When you receive an FX-PCV18 Series controller from the factory or upgrade the
firmware or main code, the controller defaults to using the MS/TP communications protocol.
The Load Summary screen of CCT shows the connection as Wired Field Bus, indicating that
the MS/TP protocol is in use. If you have an N2 application, the Load Summary screen indicates
that you need to switch the communications protocol to N2.
These FX-PCV controllers feature an integral digital pressure sensor (FX-PCV1832 model only), a
damper actuator, and a 32-bit microprocessor. The controller's small package size facilitates quick
field installation and efficient use of space for field replacements, while still enabling precision
control performance.
Note: Connecting an FX-PCX to the FX-PCV via the SA Bus connection is not supported.

Mounting
Observe these guidelines when mounting an FX-PCV:
Important: When the air supply to the VAV box is below 10°C (50°F), make sure that any
condensation on the VAV box, particularly on the damper shaft, does not enter the FX-
PCV electronics. Mount the FX-PCV vertically above the damper shaft to allow any shaft
condensation to fall away from the FX-PCV. Additional measures may be required in some
installations.
• Ensure the mounting surface can support the FX-PCV and any user-supplied enclosure.
• Mount the FX-PCV on a hard, even surface whenever possible.
• Use shims or washers to mount the FX-PCV securely and evenly on the mounting surface.
• Mount the FX-PCV in an area free of corrosive vapors that matches the ambient conditions
specified in the Technical specifications section.
FX-PCV1826/1832 Programmable VAV Box Controller Installation Instructions2
• Provide sufficient space around the FX-PCV for cable and wire connections and adequate
ventilation through the controller (50 mm [2 in.] minimum on the top, bottom, sides, and front of
the controllers).
• Do not mount the FX-PCV in areas where electromagnetic emissions from other devices or wiring
can interfere with controller communication.
• Avoid mounting the FX-PCV on surfaces with excessive vibration.
On panel or enclosure mount applications, observe these additional guidelines:
• Do not install the FX-PCV in an airtight enclosure.
• Mount the FX-PCV so that the enclosure walls do not obstruct cover removal or ventilation
through the controller.
• Mount the FX-PCV so that the power transformer and other devices do not radiate excessive heat
to the controller.
To mount the FX-PCV18 Series controller, complete the following steps:
1. Place the FX-PCV18 Series controller in the proper mounting position on the damper shaft so
that the wiring connections are easily accessible.
Note: The line from the captive spacer and screw through the center of the damper shaft
must be either horizontal or vertical, and the wall plate must be wall-mounted to comply
with UL requirements. See the following figure for possible mounting positions.
Figure 1: Possible FX-PCV18 series controller mounting positions
Make sure the FX-PCV controller base is parallel to the VAV box (perpendicular to the damper
shaft). If needed, use a spacer to offset tipping of the FX-PCV controller caused by the shaft
bushings.
Note: Using the alignment marks to center the captive spacer ensures sufficient FX-PCV18
controller movement in either direction.
2. Secure the self-drilling No. 10 screw through the shoulder washer (Figure 3) with a power
screwdriver and 100 mm (4 in.) extension socket. Otherwise, use a punch to mark the position
of the shoulder washer, and then drill a hole into the VAV box using a 3.5 mm (9/64 in.) drill bit.
Insert the mounting screw and tighten against the washer.
Important: Do not overtighten the screws, or the threads may strip. If mounting to the
VAV box, make sure the screws do not interfere with damper blade movement.

3. Locate the damper position using the typical marking on the end of the damper shaft. See the
following figure.
Figure 2: Typical damper end shaft icons
4. Note the direction, clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW), required to close the damper.
Grasp the damper shaft firmly with pliers, and either manually close the damper (for 90°
boxes) or manually open the damper (for 45° or 60° boxes).
5. Push down and hold the Manual Override button (Figure 3) and turn the FX-PCV controller
coupler until it contacts the mechanical end-stop at either the fully closed (90° boxes) or fully
open (45° and 60° boxes) position.
6. If the damper for a 90° box closes CCW, rotate the coupler to the CCW mechanical limit. If the
damper for a 90° box closes CW, rotate the coupler to the CW mechanical limit. The open end-
stop is automatically set for 90° boxes. For 45° and 60° boxes, hard stops must be provided
at both fully closed and fully open damper positions. By installing the FX-PCV controller at the
fully open position, the FX-PCV controller provides the open stop for 45° and 60° boxes. The
closed damper seal provides the fully closed stop.
7. Tighten the square coupler bolt to the shaft using an 8 mm (5/16 in.) wrench or 10 mm (3/8 in.)
12-point socket. Tighten to 10.5 to 11.5 N·m (95 to 105 lb·in).
8. Loop the pneumatic tubing to include a trap for condensation. If needed, use the included
brass fittings and attach the included pieces of tubing to the tubing of the FX-PCV controller.
Attach the tubing from the FX-PCV controller to the dual port fitting on the FX-PCV controller
and the other ends of the tubing to the pressure transducer in the VAV box application (Figure
3). The FX-PCV1826 does not come with the tubing pieces.
Note: The FX-PCV uses a digital non-flow pressure sensor with bidirectional flow
operation, which allows the high- and low-pressure DP tube connections to be made to
either barbed fitting on the FX-PCV controller. You do not need to make a specific high- or
low-side connection when you attach the tubing to the barbed fittings on the FX-PCV.
9. Push the manual release button, and turn the actuator coupling manually to ensure that the
actuator can rotate from full-closed to full-open positions without binding.
10. Complete the mounting by rotating the damper to the full-open position.

spade terminal as shown in Figure 7. See Table 6 for more information.
FX-PCV1826/1832 Programmable VAV Box Controller Installation Instructions8
Figure 7: 24 VAC supply power spade terminal wiring
Important:
• The supply power terminal block on the FX18-PCV is a two-position spade lug (Figure 7).
Exercise caution while rewiring the power plug when replacing an existing controller. Stray
wire strands may make contact and cause a short circuit across the 24 VAC power supply.
• To maintain proper phasing when replacing the existing PCV14xx controller with the FX-
PCV18 controller, connect the power wire from 24 VAC: 1 terminal on the existing controller
to the HOT power terminal on the FX-PCV18. Also connect the power wire from the 24 VAC: 2
terminal on the existing controller to the COM power terminal on the FX-PCV18 controller.
The supply power wire colors may be different on transformers from other manufacturers. Refer to
the transformer manufacturer’s instructions and the project installation drawings for wiring details.
Important: Connect 24 VAC supply power to the FX-PCV and all other network devices so that
transformer phasing is uniform across the network devices. Powering network devices with
uniform 24 VAC supply power phasing reduces noise, interference, and ground loop problems.
The FX-PCV does not require an earth ground connection. However, when grounding the
secondary of the 24 VAC transformer is required, only one connection to ground should be
made near the transformer.
CAUTION
Risk of Personal Injury and Property Damage
Improper wiring of this terminal may cause a short circuit across the 24 VAC power supply on -1
models.
To wire the FX-PCV18 Series controller, complete the following steps:
1. Terminate wiring per engineering drawings.
2. Wire network sensors and other devices to the FX-PCV's SA Bus.
3. Wire the N2/FC Bus in a daisy chain (see Table 6).
4. Ensure that the FX-PCV’s device address DIP switches are set to the appropriate device address.
(See Setting the device address.)
5. Connect the FX-PCV controller to 24 VAC, Class 2 power.
Refer to the N2 FX-PCV Application Note (LIT-12011838) for more information about replacing an
existing controller with an FX-PCV18 controller.
