F4-CVM VAV Terminal Equipment
Controllers Installation Instructions
Application
The CVM03050 equipment controllers are designed for variable air volume (VAV) box applications.
CVM03050 controllers operate on an RS-485 BACnet® MS/TP bus as BACnet Advanced Application
Controllers (B-AACs) and integrate into Johnson Controls® and third-party BACnet systems.
CVM03050 controllers feature an integral damper actuator, a digital Differential Pressure
Transmitter (DPT) sensor, and a 32-bit microprocessor. The CVM03050-0P model features an
integral potentiometer to sense actual VAV box damper position. These controllers also include an
integral real-time clock, which enables the controllers to monitor and control schedules, calendars,
and trends, and operate for extended periods of time as stand-alone controllers when offline
from the Facility Explorer® system network. These controllers connect easily to the wired and
wireless network sensors for zone and discharge air temperature sensing. Their small package
size facilitates quick field installation and efficient use of space without compromising control
performance.

Communications protocols
The CVM03050 controllers can communicate using BACnet MS/TP, N2, or wireless Zigbee®. By
default, the CVM controllers communicate using the BACnet MS/TP protocol. The BACnet protocol
is a standard for ANSI, ASHRAE, and the International Standards Organization (ISO) for building
controls.

F4-CVM VAV Terminal Equipment Controllers Installation Instructions2
• One self-drilling No. 10 x 25 mm (1 in.) screw
Materials and special tools needed
• Small, straight-blade screwdriver for securing wires in the terminal blocks
• 8 mm (5/16 in.) wrench or 10 mm (3/8 in.) 12-point socket to tighten the square coupler bolt
• Several shims or washers to mount the CVM
• Power screwdriver, 100 mm (4 in.) extension socket, punch, drill, and 3.5 mm (9/64 in.) drill bits to
mount the CVM
• Pliers to open and close the damper
• Required length of 3.97 mm (5/32 in.) ID pneumatic tubing and barbed fittings
Mounting
Observe the following guidelines when mounting a CVM controller:
• Ensure that the mounting surface can support the CVM and any user-supplied enclosure.
• Mount the CVM on a hard, even surface whenever possible.
• Use shims or washers to mount the CVM securely and evenly on the mounting surface.
• Mount the CVM in an area free of corrosive vapors that matches the ambient conditions specified
in the Technical specifications section.
• Provide sufficient space around the CVM for cable and wire connections and adequate ventilation
through the controller (at least 50 mm [2 in.] on the top, bottom, sides, and front of the
controllers).
• Do not mount the CVM in areas where electromagnetic emissions from other devices or wiring
can interfere with controller communication.
• Avoid mounting the CVM on surfaces with excessive vibration.
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 CVM
electronics. Mount the CVM vertically above the damper shaft to allow any shaft condensation
to fall away from the controller. Additional measures may be required in some installations.
On panel or enclosure mount applications, observe these additional guidelines:
• Do not install the CVM in an airtight enclosure.
• Mount the CVM so that the enclosure walls do not obstruct cover removal or ventilation through
the controller.
• Mount the CVM so that the power transformer and other devices do not radiate excessive heat to
the controller.
To mount the CVM controllers, complete the following steps:
1. Set all the switches on the equipment controller to their known settings.
3F4-CVM VAV Terminal Equipment Controllers Installation Instructions
2. Place the CVM controller in the proper mounting position on the damper shaft so that the
wiring connections are easily accessible. Make sure 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 CVM
movement in either direction.
3. Secure the self-drilling No.10 screw through the captive spacer with a power screwdriver and
100mm (4in.) 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 3.5mm (9/64in.) drill bit. Insert the
mounting screw and tighten against the spacer.
Important: Do not overtighten the screw, or the threads may strip. If mounting to the VAV
box, make sure the screws do not interfere with damper blade movement.
4. Locate the damper position using the typical marking on the end of the damper shaft as
shown in the figure below.
Figure 2: Typical damper end shaft icons
5. 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.
6. Push down and hold the Manual Override button and turn the CVM 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. If you install the CVM 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.
8. All models are compact in size and are easily installed on VAV boxes. The models have either a
round shaft up to 13 mm in diameter or a 10 mm square shaft. 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).
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 CVM controller and the other ends of the tubing to the pressure transducer in the
VAV box application .
F4-CVM VAV Terminal Equipment Controllers Installation Instructions4
Note: The CVM uses a digital pressure sensor with bidirectional flow operation, which
allows you to connect the high- and low-pressure DP tubes to either barbed fitting on the
CVM 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 CVM.
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. Complete the mounting by rotating 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.
