VCM (Transducer) Calibration. The VCM has an auto-
zero function that recalibrates the transducer once every
minute. When troubleshooting, allow for the recalibration
time before making any measurements.
Input Power. The only input the VCM needs is the 24 Vac
power connected to the J2 plug (green and black wires).
Output Velocity Signal. The 2 to 10 Vdc linear output
signal from the VCM represents air velocity. This voltage
can be converted to represent airflow (cfm or L/s) using the
formula below and Table 42.
In Table 43 through Figure 50, the cfm at 10Vdc is a
calculated value based on area and peak velocity. In certain
situations, it can be advantageous to raise the velocity of
air through the remaining Traq dampers by closing off one
or more dampers in the unit. The cfm at 10Vdc can be
recalculated based on the proportion of remaining Traq
dampers or by multiplying the remaining area of dampers
by peak velocity. Calculations are based on VCM voltage
versus airflow at sea level. Setup details are available on
the HUB - DOC-106531.
Figure 167. Traq damper terminal connections
Airflow = k (cfm @ 10V)
or
Airflow = k (L/s @ 10V)
For example, if the VCM on a size 30 air handler at sea
level (k=1) has a 10-volt signal, it would represent
24,492 cfm (11,559 L/s) through the Traq damper. If
the voltage were 6 volts, airflow through the Traq
damper would be 12,246 cfm (5779 L/s).
