Folder Structure
Importing Standard Applications
All standard applications will use a consistent folder

Building Operation Custom Type XML import files. The files
contain the entire XPX controller including a SmartX Sensor
Device and a full application folder. To import, ensure the
Workspace is set to Engineering with Custom Types. This
will enable the Custom Type Library pane.

XML import files can then be imported under the Custom

Type Library window with a right-click > Import. The resulting
Custom Type can then be applied to one or many XPX
controllers in the network tree with the option to download
immediately. Using Custom Types allows for the greatest
efficiency in updating or modifying the standard application.

Initial Setup
Following the creation of a default standard VAV, the
following temperature and air flow setpoints and
configuration parameters should be adjusted, at a minimum,
according to the design engineer’s scheduled values:
Variable Air Volume Data Object
Maximum flow setpoint Air Flow Cooling Max Setpoint
Minimum flow setpoint Air Flow Cooling Min Setpoint
Rated box flow Rated Box Flow

and 10%, and/or disable the occupancy sensor in strategic
zones to ensure a constant path for air flow. ImpMultStPr Static Pressure Importance Multiplier
