    CHAPTER 1 - INSTALLATION 1. GENERAL This document provides you the necessary information to install and operate the SVIM-1 . The document is presented as follows: • Introduction • Installation • User’s Guide • Appendix 1.1 DESCRIPTION The SVIM-1 is a positioner which controls motorized air inlets.
  • Page 6 SVIM-1 allows to be aware of the system general status and error messages, if it happens. Security The SVIM-1 has several security features. In case it loses communication with the master control, the SVIM- is able to operate autonomously the air inlet by using his own temperature probe or by positioning itself to a preprogrammed position.

    SVIM-1 2.5 POWERING UP AND CALIBRATION Before powering up the SVIM-1 , attach the faceplates to the casing of the control panel using the screws previously removed. The SVIM-1 has to be calibrated the first time it is started. This calibration enables the SVIM-1 evaluate the maximum and minimum positions of the curtain / inlet.

    SVIM-1 3.1 FACEPLATE The SVIM-1 ’s faceplate (refer to figure 5) has 4 LED indicators, 3 selection buttons, 2 adjustment buttons and a 4-digit LED status window. Below is a brief description of those features: 3.1.1 LED Indicators Refer to figure 5 (2,3,4) On the left-hand side of the faceplate are four LED indicators showing four different modes: 1.

  • Page 22: Parameters

    SVIM-1 3.2 PARAMETERS The current section gives a description of the SVIM-1 parameters and how to operate them. 3.2.1 ACTUAL POS Refer to figure 5 (5) The Actual Position parameter makes it possible for users to know the exact curtain position (CLO, 1, 2..., 99, OPEN).
  • Page 23: Minimum Position (Lo)

    CHAPTER 3 - USER’S GUIDE 3.2.3.1 MINIMUM POSITION (Lo) The minimum position parameter is the minimum opening which may be reached in auto mode. The curtain will not close beyond this value. Range: CLo, 1 ... 99. This parameter is not available when DIP switch #4 is set to SVC mode.
  • Page 24: Auto-Calibration (A.cal)

    SVIM-1 3.2.3.5 AUTO-CALIBRATION (A.CAL) This parameter only appears if DIP switch #1 is OFF. With the Auto-calibration, users can determine after how many changes in direction the auto-calibration will occur. Users can select a value from 10 and 250 (and OFF) adjustable by increments of 10.
  • Page 25: Delay Before Opening (Del O.)

    CHAPTER 3 - USER’S GUIDE 3.2.3.7 DELAY BEFORE OPENING (dEL. O) If there is an opening request, the SVIM-1 will wait until the delay is completed before opening. Thus, the LED OPEN (refer to figure 5 (3)) will flash during the delay.
  • Page 26: Resolution (Res)

    SVIM-1 3.2.3.10 RESOLUTION (rES) This parameter enables the SVIM-1 to move by steps of more than 1% to avoid small unnecessary movements of the actuator. Operating range :1% to EXAMPLE: The inlet position is 50% and the resolution is set at 4%.
  • Page 27: Automatic Calibration

    CHAPTER 3 - USER’S GUIDE 3.3 AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION Auto-calibration is a feature of the SVIM-1 that is only operational when in time mode ( DIP switch #1 is OFF). When in potentiometer mode, auto-calibration is always deactivated. This function enables the SVIM-1 reevaluate its position and precision either by opening or closing completely the curtain.
