Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PL-VC3000LT-BP used for?
The BP model is designated for bypass damper control. The VC3000 product selection table distinguishes it from the LT-PI model for VAV systems and the LT-PD model for changeover bypass / VVT systems.
Does this model include a pressure sensor?
Yes. The PL-VC3000LT-BP includes the built-in sensor listed in the datasheet as a flow sensor, with a range of 0-2 in. WC.
Does the PL-VC3000LT-BP support BACnet?
Yes. Its RS485 network port supports Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP, with up to 127 network nodes. A second RS485 port is provided for a digital sensor or computer interface.
What inputs and outputs are included?
Two universal inputs, one digital output and one configurable output. The LT-BP does not provide a DC power output.
What power supply is required?
24 VAC ±10%, 50/60 Hz, Class 2. Controller consumption is 2.0 VA typical and 2.5 VA maximum. The datasheet separately specifies 30 VA input at maximum rated specifications for the LT hardware.
How much torque does the integrated actuator produce?
The integrated Belimo actuator provides 45 in-lb of torque. It fits shafts 0.25-0.75 in. (6-20 mm) in diameter with a minimum usable shaft length of 1.5 in. (37 mm).
Can the controller operate standalone?
Yes. The VC3000 series supports standalone or networked operation. The datasheet describes separate firmware for standalone bypass damper control on the LT hardware.
