Sequence of Operations
Unoccupied Ventilation Flow Control
The controller closes the air valve. Local electric heat and hot water heat are disabled. The
hot water valves open if needed for freeze protection. The operation of freeze protection
for local hot water heat depends on whether the controller is operating as a network
controller or a stand-alone controller. Table 43 shows unoccupied VFC control freeze
prot
ect
ion for hot water reheat.

Flow Tracking Control Mode
Flow tracking control (FTC) is one of three supported control algorithms. Two Tracer®
VV550/VV551 controllers work together to provide flow tracking control (see Table 44).
The spa
ce temperature controller outputs the airflow (reported airflow). The space
temperature controller airflow output (reported airflow) is bound to the flow tracking
controller airflow setpoint input (communicated airflow setpoint). The flow tracking
controller adds the configured airflow tracking offset (positive or negative) to the airflow
setpoint (communicated airflow setpoint) and controls the airflow to this setpoint. The
flow tracking controller does not require a space temperature sensor or a discharge air
temperature sensor. For more information on flow tracking control and flow tracking
operation, refer to Table 63 on page 95.
a. Place the discharge temperature sensor in close proximity to the hot water coil discharge. The sensor effectively reports coil
temperature when there is no airflow through the coil. Therefore, the coil can be freeze protected by the discharge air
temperature sensor.
