Product Overview Introduction The BACnet VAV Actuator is the Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. FLN controller used in pressure independent Variable Air Volume applications (Figure 1). It provides Direct Digital Control (DDC) for eight applications, and can operate independently as a stand-alone DDC room controller or networked with a field panel. The controller provides all input/output, system, and local communication connections.

This chapter describes corrective measures you can take should you encounter a problem when using a BACnet VAV Actuator. You are not required to do any controller troubleshooting. You may want to contact your local Siemens Building Technologies representative if a problem occurs or you have any questions about the controller. NOTE: When troubleshooting, record what the problem is and what actions were performed immediately before the problem occurred.
