Using the SAVE command will overwrite the location with the current valve data.
The Quick Valve feature allows the user to save the selected valve to a memory location which is
quickly accessible without having to use the ‘Select Valve’ option. The purpose of this is to reduce
time when commissioning a system with, for example, 3 different types of valve. The 3 types of
valve could be saved to the Quick Valve memory including the design flow designated for that valve.
When recalled, the valve will be loaded to the unit including the design flow.
Follow the on-screen instructions to save the current selection or delete the existing saved valve.
An additional use for this feature is the ability for the user to save the commissioned data for up to
100 valves for later reference.
When the data for the selected valve has been saved, the following screen appears. The example
shown is for a variable orifice double-regulating valve (all other valve types have a simpler screen).
When using automatic balancing valves, the procedure for using ‘Quick Valve’ is the same as if
traditional balancing valves but the screen showing saved data is different as shown below.
The above example shows that the actual DP is greater than the design DP therefore the flow
status is displayed as FLOW OK.
Further options for saving valve data are available if PcomPRO Project Application Software is
purchased with the AC6 unit – see Chapter 7.
