Description
The Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) VT7656B5031B is a feature-rich rooftop unit (RTU) and heat pump controller engineered for commercial HVAC applications requiring precise scheduling, economizer management, and open-protocol building automation integration. Designed for 2 Heat / 2 Cool rooftop configurations, this programmable controller delivers reliable, flexible comfort management right out of the box.
Key Features
- Local scheduling and programmable operation for on-site configuration flexibility
- Economizer scheduling and programmable control for energy-saving free cooling strategies
- Supports 2 Heat / 2 Cool rooftop unit and heat pump applications
- PIR (Passive Infrared) occupancy sensor ready for demand-controlled operation
- BACnet MS/TP communications for seamless integration with building automation systems (BAS)
- Open-protocol design compatible with major BAS platforms
- Cover sold separately — does not include cover
Application
The VT7656B5031B is ideally suited for commercial rooftop unit installations where building automation integration, energy efficiency, and occupancy-based control are priorities. Its BACnet MS/TP communication capability allows facility managers and controls contractors to monitor and manage the unit remotely through a centralized BAS, reducing energy waste and improving occupant comfort.
Economizer Control
Built-in economizer scheduling and programmable logic enables the controller to take full advantage of favorable outdoor air conditions, reducing mechanical cooling loads and lowering operating costs — a critical feature for ASHRAE 90.1 compliance in commercial buildings.
PIR Occupancy Ready
The PIR-ready design allows integration of a passive infrared occupancy sensor (sold separately) to enable demand-controlled HVAC operation, automatically adjusting setpoints based on space occupancy for maximum energy efficiency.
