Sequence of operationVVT Zone II Controller CARRIER CORPORATION ©2019Installation and Start-up Guide All rights reserved50OccupancyThe VVT Zone II's operation depends on the zone's occupancy state as determined by occupancy schedules or aremote occupancy override.Occupancy Schedules – An occupancy schedule can be one of the following:• A local schedule set up directly in the controller using a touchscreen device or Field Assistant.• A network schedule from an i-Vu internal router. The VVT Zone II must be networked to an i-Vu Open Router oran i-Vu internal router.• A System Occupancy network point. This point links the controller occupancy to another controller in thenetwork so that multiple zones can follow the occupancy of another VVT Zone or other controller on thenetwork.To set up occupancy schedules, you first define a schedule for each day of the week and then define schedulesfor the exceptions, such as holidays. The exceptions can be based on a date, a date range, or a week and day.NOTES• The Occupancy Schedules property must be enabled (default).• A network schedule downloaded from the i-Vu application will overwrite a local schedule that was set up in atouchscreen device or Field Assistant.Remote Occupancy Override – The controller monitors its Remote input that is typically connected to the isolated,dry contact of an occupancy sensor located in the zone. The controller can override the occupancy state based onwhether or not the space is actually occupied. If the occupancy sensor contact is in the same state as OccOverride Normal Logic State setting, the zone follows its normal occupancy schedule. If the contact is in theopposite state, it overrides the zone into the unoccupied mode. The input can be configured for normally closed ornormally opened contact types and is set to Open by default so that it does not affect the controller occupancyoperation if left unused.Learning Adaptive Optimal Start – This function gradually adjusts the unoccupied setpoints over a specifiedperiod of time to achieve the occupied setpoint by the time scheduled occupancy begins. This learning adaptivealgorithm uses the learned heating capacity and learned cooling capacity values to calculate the effectivesetpoints prior to the occupied start time. The algorithm calculates a learned cooling and heating capacity duringthe previous unoccupied time. Set the Learning Adaptive Optimal Start recovery period from 1 to 4 hours inOptimal Start. When the Learning Adaptive Optimal Start routine runs, adjustments are based on the color that isachieved when occupancy begins. Adjustment amounts are defined in the thermographic color fields locateddirectly above the Effective Setpoints graph under Setpoints.BAS On/Off – This function allows third party control of the controller occupancy. Occupancy Schedules must beset to Disable to use this function. When set to Occupied or Unoccupied, Optimal Start is automatically disabled.For additional information on ZS Sensor occupancy and override settings, see Maintenance (page 83) Points andProperties.
