MERLIN NX IP AND MST/TP VAV CONTROLLER - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Service Button
Fig. 5. Service Button
The service button is used to trigger dedicated events. It is 
important to distinguish different controller behaviors 
elicited depending upon whether the service button is 
pressed when the controller is powering up or when it is in 
normal operation. 
See the following dedicated events:
Pressing Service Button during Power-Up
If the service pin is pressed and the controller is switched 
on (while the service pin is still pressed), a reset to factory 
delivery is performed. 
• The application is cleared from the controller.
• The MAC address will be set to 0xFF, meaning that the 
controller will now search for a new mac address (Auto-
MAC will be automatically triggered after controller 
power-up).
• The maxMaster setting will revert to its default value 
(See “AutoMAC limitation:” on page 24. for default 
values).
• The Max info frames will revert to 10.
• The device instance will revert to its default of 4194302.
• The device name will revert to CLMEVA[ModelName].
• The values of Auto MAC, Min MAC and Max MAC will be 
reset to default (See “AutoMAC limitation:” on page 24. 
for default values).
• The Modbus, Ethernet, and BLE settings will revert to 
their factory settings. The user settings for Modbus and 
BLE will be erased, the IP address will be reset to 
default, and the device will enter DHCP IP configuration.
Pressing Service Button during Normal 
Operation
During normal operation of the controller, a short press (< 1 
sec) of the Service Button will cause a Service Pin 
Message (BACnet WhoAmI as a Private Transfer 
(SerialNo. = 130)) to be sent. This can be used in tools to 
verify devices (Tool can do a ranking of multiple service pin 
messages received).
MOUNTING
To mount the MERLIN NX IP and MSTP VAV controllers, 
refer to the mounting instructions provided with the 
controller.
Before mounting the controller on the damper shaft, review 
the power, inputs, and output specifications. See 
“Specifications” on page 4.
Hardware driven by the analog current outputs must have a 
maximum resistance of 550 Ohms.
NOTE:
Avoid mounting in areas where acid fumes or other 
deteriorating vapors can harm the metal parts of the 
controller or in areas where escaping gas or other 
explosive vapors are present.
Before Mounting Actuator onto the 
Damper Shaft
MERLIN NX IP and MSTP VAV controller include a direct-
coupled actuator with Declutch mechanism, which is 
shipped hard-wired to the controller.
1. Determine the direction in which the damper shaft 
rotates to open the damper. Typically, there is an 
etched line on the end of the damper shaft that indi-
cates the position of the damper.
