Mounting
About this task:
Observe the following guidelines when you mount the
VAV controller:
Note: When the air supply to the VAV box is below
10°C (50°F), ensure that condensation on the VAV
box, particularly on the damper shaft, does not enter
the VAV controller.
• Ensure that the mounting surface can support the
controller and any user-supplied enclosure and
electronics. Mount the controller vertically above the
damper shaft to allow any shaft condensation to fall
away from the controller. Additional measures may be
required in some installations.
• Mount the controller on a hard, even surface whenever
possible.
• Use shims or washers to mount the controller securely
and evenly on the mounting surface.
• Mount the controller in an area free of corrosive vapors
that matches the ambient conditions specified in the
Technical specifications section.
• Provide at least 50 mm (2 in.) on the top, bottom,
sides, and front of the controller for cable and wire
connections and adequate ventilation through the
controller.
• Mount the controller vertically above the damper shaft
to allow any shaft condensation to fall away from the
controller.
• Do not mount the controller in areas where
electromagnetic emissions from other devices or wiring
can interfere with controller communication.
• Avoid mounting the controller on surfaces with
excessive vibration.
• When this installation replaces another controller,
plug the unused open hole in the duct work from the
original controller mounting, if possible. The preferred
option to plug the hole is to use the sheet metal screw
from the original installation.
For panel mounting or enclosure mounting, observe
these additional guidelines:
• Do not install the controller in an airtight enclosure.
• Mount the controller so that the enclosure walls do
not obstruct cover removal or ventilation through the
controller.
• Mount the controller so that the power transformer
and other devices do not radiate excessive heat to the
controller.
To mount the controller, complete the following steps:
1. Set all the switches on the controller to their known
settings.
2. Place the controller in the correct mounting
position on the damper shaft so that the wiring
connections are easily accessible. Ensure that
the controller base is parallel to the VAV box
(perpendicular to the damper shaft). If needed, use
a spacer to offset tipping of the controller caused
by the shaft bushings.
Note: Use the alignment marks to center the
captive spacer to ensure sufficient movement in
either direction.
3. Secure the self-drilling No. 10 screw through the
captive spacer with a power screwdriver and 100
mm (4 in.) extension socket. Alternatively, you can
use a punch to mark the position of the shoulder
washer, and then drill a hole into the VAV box with
a 3.5 mm (9/64 in.) drill bit. Insert the mounting
screw and tighten it against the spacer.
Important: Do not overtighten the screw,
or the threads may strip. If you mount the
controller to the VAV box, ensure that the
screws do not interfere with damper blade
movement.
4. Locate the damper position. Use the typical
marking on the end of the damper shaft as shown
in the following figure.
Figure 2: Typical damper end shaft markings
5. Note the direction, clockwise (CW) or
counterclockwise (CCW), required to close the
damper. Grasp the damper shaft firmly with pliers,
and choose one of the following options:
- For 90° boxes, manually close the damper.
- For 45° or 60° boxes, manually open the
damper.
6. Push down and hold the Manual Override button
(see Physical features) and turn the controller
coupler until it contacts the mechanical end-stop at
either the full-closed (90° boxes) or full-open (45°
and 60° boxes) position.
7. 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, you must provide hard stops
at both full-closed and full-open damper positions.
When you install the controller at the full-open
position, the controller provides the open stop for
45° and 60° boxes. The closed damper seal provides
the full-closed stop.
Note: The integrated actuator has a stroke time
of 60 seconds for 90° of travel. The stroke time
is the amount of time (in seconds) that it takes
the actuator to move from the fully closed to
the fully opened position or from the fully open
to the fully closed position.
8. Tighten the square coupler bolt to the shaft with an
8 mm (5/16 in.) wrench or 10 mm (3/8 in.) 12-point
socket. Tighten to 10.5 N·m to 11.5 N·m (95 to 105
lb·in).
VAV1507 VAV Controller Installation Guide 3
 Note: The models have either a round shaft up
to 13 mm in diameter, or a 10-mm square shaft.
9. Loop the pneumatic tubing (supplied by field
personnel) to include a trap for condensation.
Attach the needed length of tubing (supplied
and installed by field personnel) to the dual port
fitting on the controller and the other ends of the
tubing to the pressure transducer in the VAV box
application.
Note: The controller uses a digital differential
pressure sensor with bidirectional flow
operation. You can connect the high- and low-
pressure DP tubes to either barbed fitting
on the 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
controller.
10. Push the Manual Override button, and turn the
actuator coupling manually to ensure that the
actuator can rotate from full-closed to full-open
positions without binding.
11. Rotate the damper to the full-open position.
 CAUTION
Risk of Property Damage
Rotate the damper to the full-open position before
starting the air handler. Failure to rotate the damper to
the full-open position may result in damage to the VAV
box or ductwork when the air handler is started.
Wiring
 CAUTION
Risk of Electric Shock
Disconnect the power supply before making electrical
connections to avoid electric shock.
Important: Do not connect supply power to the
controller before you finish wiring and before
you check all wiring connections. Short circuits or
improperly connected wires can result in damage to
the controller and void any warranty.
Important: Do not exceed the controller electrical
ratings. Exceeding controller electrical ratings can
result in permanent damage to the controller and
void any warranty.
Important: Use copper conductors only. Make
all wiring in accordance with local, national, and
regional regulations.

Important: Electrostatic discharge can damage
controller components. Use proper electrostatic
discharge precautions during installation, setup, and
servicing to avoid damaging the controller.
Setting the device address
The VAV1507 controllers are master devices on BACnet®
MS/TP (SA or FC) buses. Before operating controllers on
a bus, you must set a valid and unique device address for
each controller on the bus.
Set the device address by setting the positions of the
switches on the device address DIP switch block at the top
of the controller (Figure 1). Device addresses 4 through
127 are the valid addresses for these controllers.
The DIP switch block has eight switches numbered 128,
64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1. Switches 64 through 1 are device
address switches. Set switch 128 to OFF for VAV1507. See
the following figure for an example of a DIP switch block
set to 21.
Figure 10: Device address switches set to 21
Note: Controllers ship with switch 128 ON and the
remaining address switches OFF. This renders the
controllers wired subordinate devices, which do
not interfere on MS/TP buses and do not interfere
with bus operation. Set a valid and unique device
address on the controller before applying power to
the controller on the bus.
8 VAV1507 VAV Controller Installation Guide
To set the device address on the controller, complete the
following steps:
1. Set all of the switches on the DIP switch block (128
through 1) to OFF.
2. Set one or more of the seven address switches (64
through 1) to ON, so that the sum of the switch
numbers set to ON equals the intended device
address. See Table 9 for valid controller addresses.
Set the highest number switch that is less than or
equal to the intended device address to ON. Then
continue setting lower numbered switches until the
total equals the intended address. For example, if the
intended device address is 21, set switch 16 to ON
first, then set switch 4 to ON, followed by switch 1
(16+4+1=21). See Figure 10.
3. Set a unique and sequential device address for
each of the controllers connected on the FC bus,
starting with device address 4. To ensure the best
bus performance, set sequential device addresses
with no gaps in the device address range (4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, and so on). The controllers do not need to be
physically connected on the bus in their numerical
device address order.
4. Write each controller’s device address on the white
label below the DIP switch block on the controller’s
cover.
Refer to the MSTP Communications Bus Technical Bulletin
(LIT-12011034) for more information on field controller
device addresses and how to set them on MSTP Buses.
The following tables describe the valid FC bus device
addresses for Johnson Controls MS/TP communications
bus applications.

Setting the EOL switch Configuring the software application

Each field controller has an EOL switch that you can set to
ON (up) to set the field controller as a terminating device
on the bus. See Figure 1 for the EOL switch location on
the field controller. The default EOL switch position is OFF
(down). The amber EOL LED illuminates to show that the
EOL is active.
Figure 11: EOL ON position
Figure 12: EOL OFF position
To set the EOL switch on a field controller:
1. Determine the physical location of the controller on
the FC bus.
2. Determine if the controller must be set as a
terminating device on the bus.
Note: Refer to the MS/TP Communications Bus
Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011034) for detailed
information regarding EOL termination rules
and EOL switch settings on SA and FC buses.
3. If the controller is a terminating device on the FC
bus, set the EOL switch to ON. If the controller is not
a terminating device on the bus, set the EOL switch
to OFF.
Note: When the EOL switch is set to ON,
the EOL LED on the face of the controller is
illuminated.
The controller comes with a configurable software
application that supports a single-duct, cooling-only
use for the controller. The software application has the
following features:
• Warm-up and cooldown mode supports the central
system warm-up or cooldown. Warm-up mode starts
when either of the following happens:
- If you write to the supply air temperature (SA-T)
network input when the AHU is commanded to
perform warm-up
- If the supply air temperature (SA-T) network
input is unreliable. In this case, the warm-up and
cooldown command (WC-C) is set to Warmup.
The control action on the flow setpoint control is
reversed to prevent overheating the spaces. You can
specify the minimum flow setpoint independently for
warm-up and cooldown.
• The controller supports the automatic configuration of
the connected sensors, including TE730 analog sensors
and NSA and NS series network sensors.
Note: The VAV1507 controller supports absolute
setpoint type sensors. The controller does not
support warmer/cooler type sensors.
• The controller supports a temporary occupancy request
from a sensor.
• You can configure the zone temperature offset of the
connected sensors.
• If the connected network sensors support CO2 and RH
% display, you can view the zone CO2 level through the
ZN-CO2 point, and the zone humidity level through the
ZN-H point.
• You can configure the controller to use a local or
remote zone temperature setpoint. The local setpoint
comes from a sensor, and the remote setpoint comes
from the BAS.
• You can view the airflow readings in cubic feet per
minute (CFM), liters per second (L/s), or cubic meters
per hour (CMH).
• The controller features a number of points that you can
use to get information from the sensors or to adjust
how the software application operates. The full list of
points that you can view and configure is shown in the
following table.

Troubleshooting
The following table contains troubleshooting information for the VAV controller. Table 12 provides LED status indicator
information for troubleshooting the controllers.
Note: If you experience short circuits in the 24 VAC power supply causing protective devices such as breakers or
fuses to trip, make sure that the power connections on the VAV controller are not reversed. The most common
cause of this problem is when the 24 VAC power supply on the controller is reversed but not reversed on a
connected secondary device. Improper wiring of this power terminal may cause a short circuit across the 24 VAC
power supply.

3. Reset the breaker/fuse or replace the

Note: When replacing the
transformer, it is best practice to
replace with a model that uses a
resettable circuit breaker. A circuit
breaker makes solving wiring
problems easier.
