Chapter 2 Adjustment/Engineering AB-7497-U ACTIVAL + Standalone Model Instruction Manual Basic settings You must set the following parameters for control valves (FVY513/514). 1) Setting maximum flow Set the design flow of the AHU as the maximum flow value. Obtain the design flow of the AHU from the Equipment Table for the air conditioning facilities.
Page 25
Chapter 2 Adjustment/Engineering AB-7497-U ACTIVAL + Standalone Model Instruction Manual IMPORTANT The flow decimal point position is the value defined for maximum flow. For example, if you set the maximum flow to “2642”, and decimal point position to “1”, the actual maximum set flow will be “264.2”.
