i-Vu® Fan Coil Open

Product Integrated Controller

Integrated controller for fan coil units capable of stand-alone operation or integrated with Carrier’s or any Building Automation System using BACnet®, Modbus® or Lonworks® protocol

i-Vu® Fan Coil Open

Carrier’s Fan Coil Open Controller is an integrated component of a Carrier fan coil unit. The Fan Coil Open controller continuously monitors and regulates fan coil operation with reliability and precision. This advanced controller features a sophisticated, factory-engineered control program that provides optimum performance and energy efficiency. The Fan Coil Open controller also features plug-and-play connectivity to the Carrier i-Vu Building Automation System.

For added flexibility, the Fan Coil Open controller is capable of stand-alone operation, or it can be integrated with any Building Automation System utilizing the BACnet protocol.

i-Vu® Fan Coil Open

Flexible Heating Control

Controls modulating or two‑position hot water or steam valves, or up to one stage of electric heat, to maintain space temperature setpoints.

Flexible Cooling Control

Controls modulating or two‑position chilled water valves, or a single stage of DX cooling, to maintain space temperature setpoints.

Ventilation Control

Controls a two‑position outside air damper to meet ASHRAE® 62 ventilation requirements.

Compatible with Carrier 42D, 42C, 42S, and 42V fan coil units.
