The NS Series Network Sensor offering includes NS Series Network Zone Sensors and NS Series Network Discharge Air Sensors, see Figure 1.

Figure 1. Network Zone Sensors and Discharge Air Sensors

The NS Series Network Zone Sensors are designed to function directly with the controllers. Several models of network zone sensors monitor room temperature. Options are available to also monitor zone humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2), occupancy local temperature setpoint adjustments, and other variables. This data is transmitted to a controller on the SA Bus.

The NS Series Network Zone Sensors include models with a temperature setpoint dial and LCD that allows occupants to view the zone temperature and view and adjust the zone temperature setpoint. A fan mode pushbutton is included to set the fan speed (AUTO-OFF-low-medium-high). An occupancy override function allows the user to signal the controller that the zone is occupied to override the scheduled mode. Some models have DIP switches to set a unique address for applications that require multiple sensors.

For communication wiring flexibility, the wires connecting the network zone sensor to a controller can be terminated using a modular jack or screw terminals.

Each network zone sensor includes an SA Bus access port to allow accessories to access the SA Bus. This plug allows accessories to service or commission the connected controller or gain access to any other controller on the same FC Bus.

The NS Series Network Discharge Air Sensors are electronic duct sensors designed to function directly with the controllers. Models in this series monitor the duct temperature, typically at the discharge of the VAV box, and transmit this data to a controller on the SA Bus using the 305 cm (10 ft) wiring lead included with the unit. The 305 cm (10 ft) wiring lead consists of four 22 AWG trade size color-coded wires encased in a plenum-rated jacket. Each of the wires is stripped and tinned for easy connection to the SA Bus screw terminal block.

The NS Series Network Discharge Air Sensors are available with either a 102 mm or 203 mm (4 in. or 8 in.) temperature probe. All models include DIP switches for applications requiring multiple discharge air sensors, each with a unique DIP switch address.

When using the FX-PC18 as a replacement for an existing VMA1400, note the following:
  • FX-PCV18 is able to reuse existing TE-6xxx Series sensors.
  • FX-PCV18 is able to reuse existing TE-700 Series sensors.
  • FX-PCV18 is able to reuse existing TE-730 Series sensors.
  • FX-PCV18 is not able to reuse existing TMZ1600 Series sensors and requires replacement of the TMZ with a new sensor.
  • FX-PCV18 can be used with the NS Series Network sensors.
  • FX-PCV18 can be used with the WRZ Series wireless sensors and the WRZ78xx Series One-to-One wireless receiver.
