User Interface Guide 6 VT8600 Series SCHEDULE SETTINGS There are 7 different schedule setting screens, one for each day of the week, titled accordingly. Each day can have different scheduled events where the room controller is set to Occupied status or back to Unoccupied status and use the appropriate setpoints, back and forth up to 3 times per day.
User Interface Guide VT8600 Series 7 WIRELESS ECOSYSTEM When wireless sensors are set up to communicate with a room controller, the functioning of each such sensor is described in a separate Zone screen, up to a maximum of 10 Zones. Select the appropriate type of sensor based on the required functioning using the up and down arrow keys.
User Interface Guide 8 VT8600 Series LUA SETTINGS The LUA settings screens show information about any custom LUA script uploaded to the controller. LUA scripts are not programmable on the controllers, and so must be uploaded to the controllers. 1/3 LUA L UA p r o g ram ’s n a m e : User p ro g r a m P ro g r a m : i f no t i n i t t h en init=true d el a y = 0 en d i f M E .

User Interface Guide VT8600 Series 9 LUA GENERIC PARAMETERS The LUA settings include six generic parameters that do not have predefined values. These can be used to represent LUA script variables. They are user configurable in their default state, but when they are assigned a value by a LUA script they become read only, and the display colour of the parameter changes to red. These parameters are also modifiable through BACnet as Analog Values (AVs).

User Interface Guide 14 VT8600 Series BACNET INSTANCE NUMBER The default BACnet® instance number is generated by the model number and COM address of the controller. For example, The instance number of a VT8600A5B00 with a COM address of 57 is generated as “86057”. The default instance number appears first. To change the instance number, use number pad and press Accept and save. Press Reset to automatic instance addressing to reset to automatic instance addressing.

Setpoint Adjustment for Cooling Mode In Cooling mode, the setpoint displayed in the bar is the current occupied cooling setpoint.
User Interface Guide VT8600 Series 37 Setpoint Adjustment for Heating Mode In automatic mode, setpoint showing at the top of the set point bar located directly under the blue line represents the actual occupied cooling setpoint. During occupied setpoints adjustment, large digits are temporarily used to display the occupied Cooling Setpoint or occupied Heating Setpoint. The actual setpoint is dependent on the last effective demand (heating or cooling).

User Interface Guide VT8600 Series 47 APPENDIX A: TERMINAL CORRESPONDENCE The terminals of an VT8600 are identified differently and have a wider range of possible functions compared to those of any of the VT7000 series Room Controllers. Nonetheless, there is a direct correspondence of functions between the terminals of the VT7000 series and the VT8600 series. Consult the table below to verify the appropriate terminal when replacing a VT7000 Room Controller with a VT8600 Room Controller.
