What is the Air Source Interface application?
The Air Source Interface (ASI) application for the AppController interfaces between the i-Vu Control System (VVT
Open or VAV Open) and the air source that is providing the conditioned air, in cases where the air source is NOT directly compatible and does not support Carrier Airside Linkage. These requirements are addressed through 2 different modes of operation (Monitor mode and Control mode).
NOTE The Air Source Interface application is available in both English and Metric units. The metric version is
available on http://www.hvacpartners.com or http://accounts.ivusystems.com (http://accounts.ivusystems.com) > Support > Download > Custom Applications > Metric Applications.
You can use the ASI to control a 1 or 2-stage heating/cooling rooftop unit in a single zone application. The ASI
interfaces with the units electro-mechanical thermostat terminals, enabling the unit to become a part of the i-Vu Control System.
The AppController is a field-installed controller that mounts on the equipment. The controller must be downloaded in the field with the ASI application, available in EquipmentBuilder.

Mounting the controller
WARNING
When you handle the controller:
Do not contaminate the printed circuit board with fingerprints, moisture, or any foreign material. Do not touch components or leads.
Handle the board by its edges. Isolate from high voltage or electrostatic discharge.
Ensure that you are properly grounded. Screw the controller into an enclosed panel using the mounting slots on the coverplate. Leave about 2 in. (5 cm)
on each side of the controller for wiring. Mounting hole dimensions 5 9/16" (14.1 cm) between mounting slot center lines.

Wiring the controller for power
WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals.
CAUTIONS
The controller is powered by a Class 2 power source. Take appropriate isolation measures when mounting it
in a control panel where non-Class 2 circuits are present.
Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you:
Maintain the same polarity.
Use the power supply only for Carrier controllers.
To wire for power
1 Remove power from the power supply.
2 Pull the screw terminal connector from the controller's power terminals labeled Gnd and Hot.
3 Connect the transformer wires to the screw terminal connector.
NOTE If using a grounded transformer, connect the ungrounded lead to the Hot terminal to avoid damaging the transformer.
4 Apply power to the power supply.
5 Measure the voltage at the controllers power input terminals to verify that the voltage is within the operating range of 21.626.4 Vac.
6 Insert the screw terminal connector into the controller's power terminals.
7 Verify that the Power LED is on and the Run LED is blinking.

Addressing the controller
You must give the controller an address that is unique on the network. You can address the controller before or after you wire it for power.
1 If the controller has been wired for power, pull the screw terminal connector from the controller power terminals labeled Gnd and Hot. The controller reads the address each time you apply power to it.
2 Using the rotary switches, set the controller address. Set the Tens (10's) switch to the tens digit of the address, and set the Ones (1's) switch to the ones digit.
EXAMPLE If the controllers address is 25, point the arrow on the Tens (10's) switch to 2 and the arrow on the Ones (1's) switch to 5.

To wire ZS sensors to the controller
ZS Sensors are thermistor-based temperature sensors that may optionally sense humidity, CO2, or VOC. ZS
Sensors are wired to the Rnet port on i-Vu Open controllers. You can use the following ZS sensors:
ZS Standard
ZS Plus
ZS Pro
ZS Pro-F
NOTES
The ZS CO2 model uses 190 mA during sample period. Use auxiliary 12 Vdc, unless it is the only device on
the Rnet port.
A control program can use no more than 5 ZS Sensors
SPT sensors cannot share the Rnet with other devices.
For detailed instructions, see the ZS Sensor Installation Guide.
1 Remove power from the controller.
2 Partially cut, then bend and pull off the outer jacket of the Rnet cable(s). Do not nick the inner insulation. Strip about .25 inch (.6 cm) of the inner insulation from each wire.

CAUTION If multiple controllers share power but polarity was not maintained when they were wired, the
difference between the controller's ground and the computer's AC power ground could damage the USB Link and the controller. If you are not sure of the wiring polarity, use a USB isolator between the computer and the USB Link. Purchase a USB isolator online from a third-party manufacturer.
Select or create a custom control program and graphic
The field-installed AppController does not come from the factory with a control program or graphic. You must load a control program and graphic as part of the installation/commissioning of the AppController. You can select a
control program and graphic from EquipmentBuilder that has all the configurations that are currently available on a factory-installed ASI for AppController.
After creating your control program, save and download it to the AppController. If desired, create a custom graphic using ViewBuilder. See ViewBuilder Help for details.
NOTE Third party integration information for current Carrier PIC products, whether on a factory-installed controller
or selected from EquipmentBuilder, can be found on the Carrier Control Systems Support Site http://www.hvacpartners.com/, https://accounts.ivusystems.com/ under Support Center > Controls Support > Controls Product Information.

To start up the controller, configure your necessary points/properties in the following:
