AMD-xx-TD’s Ordered with a Factory Supplied Controller

When you order a factory supplied controller, it comes with a Greenheck exclusive VAFB24-BAC-GTD actuator
which has the controller integrated inside of it. The actuator/controller is configured by the factory at the time
the unit is ordered for either analog or BACnet operation. This selection is made by setting the Setpoint Source
datapoint to Local AI or BACnet. A complete list of the all the BACnet datapoints is listed in Table 1 (page 7).

AMD-xx-TD Series Dampers with an Analog Factory Supplied Controller

Figure 2 shows field wiring for an AMD-xx-TD ordered with a factory supplied controller configured for analog
operation.

Units ordered without a factory supplied controller
are supplied with a standard modulating actuator.
The Vari-Green transmitter and actuator are wired to
a factory supplied terminal block. Figure 1 shows the
field wiring side of the terminal block.

The 0-10 VDC analog output at terminals 3 and
4 comes from the Vari-Green transmitter and is
proportional to the velocity going through the
AMD-xx-TD. A 10 VDC signal represents the
maximum velocity that was selected at the time the
unit was ordered. The selected maximum velocity
and the area of the AMD-xx-TD are listed on a label
adjacent to the terminal block. An example of how
you can determine the velocity and/or cfm going
through the unit is shown below.
