TruVu™ Dual IP Zone Controller
TV-VAVB3-E2
The TruVu dual IP zone controller provides zone level control for a variety of pressure independent VAV and pressure dependent VVT applications. This completely programmable advanced controller features an integrated actuator for easy installation onto fan-powered or single-duct air terminals. It ships with Carrier factory engineered and tested applications for single zone and fan powered terminal control. The daisy chained BACnet IP communications deliver plug-and-play connectivity to the Carrier i-Vu building automation system.
