VWA5000 Series
Wireless Accessories
For Commercial and Lodging HVAC VTR7000 Series Fan Coil Controller
(Issue Date: May 10, 2011 – 028-0321_R0)
Product overview
The VWA5000W series of ZigBee wireless switches is used in conjunction
with the Wireless versions of the VTR73XX Series Fan Coil Terminal
Equipment Controllers.
A typical hospitality application is where the VTR73xx wall terminal
equipment controller has an on-board PIR sensor and wireless switches are
used to monitor opening and closing of entry doors & windows.
Wireless door switches used with the local VTR73xx PIR cover provides
advanced local occupancy routine which provides advantageous energy
savings during occupied hours without sacrificing occupant comfort.
Wireless window switches are used to monitor outside windows being
opened or not. This allows for critical system shut-down of heating or cooling
by the FCU to prevent unwanted energy waste by tenants.
Typical applications of VTR73xx Series Fan Coil Terminal Equipment
Controllers with VWA5000W series of ZigBee wireless switches can be used
in stand-alone mode with or without integration to a central management
system for higher level functions such as central reservation occupancy
system.
A combination of up to 20 x VWA5000W door and / or window switches can be used simultaneously with a single VTR73xx Series
Fan Coil Terminal Equipment Controller.
The VWA5000W switches are factory delivered with 2 AAA batteries & are ready to be installed, configured & used right out of the
box. The expected battery life is around 10 years which is more or less equivalent to the shelf life of the battery due to the extremely
small current consumption of the switch themselves.
No tools are required for commissioning or servicing. A very simple interface with an on-board LED & a hidden switch provide all the
required functions for local interaction. Local information for battery life and connectivity ( heartbeat ) is provided also at the
VTR73xx Series Fan Coil Terminal Equipment Controller local display level or through the ZigBee wireless network with a Viconics
VWG-APP-1000 wireless communication card through Niagara AX™ software framework.
Each switch is also factory supplied with a magnet, a locking security tamper proof screw and self tapping mounting screws for
installation.
