The tool commands the controller to the manual flow override
mode and sets the flow setpoint as the configured maximum
flow setpoint. The tool then continuously checks/monitors the
controller to see whether the box flow reaches the setpoint.
After the setpoint is attained, the Measured Flow field is
enabled and the actual measured flow value can be specified.
Note that the device remains in manual flow override mode
(Open Maximum) after maximum balancing is complete.
To start minimum calibration, click 'Start Minimum Balancing'.
The tool commands the controller to the manual flow override
mode and sets the flow setpoint as the configured minimum
flow setpoint. The tool then continuously checks/monitors the
controller to see whether the box flow reaches the setpoint.
After the set point is attained, the Measured Flow field is
enabled and you can specify the actual measured flow value.
Note that the device remains in manual flow override mode
(Open Minimum) after minimum balancing is complete.
To start K factor calibration method, click 'Start K Factor
Balancing'.
(Note that when K-factor balancing is started, the two point
calibration data is returned to factory defaults automatically by
the tool before proceeding with the K-factor procedure.)
The tool commands the controller to manual flow override
mode to try and attain the maximum flow setpoint. The tool
then continuously checks/monitors the controller to see
whether the box flow reaches the setpoint After the setpoint is
attained, the Measured Flow field is enabled and the actual
measured flow value can be specified.
Based on actual the measured flow that is entered, the K
factor value is calculated by the tool and displayed. The tool
prompts you to write this value to the device. You can choose
to calculate the K factor without using the tool and set the
calculated value in the K factor field. Note that the device
remains in manual mode (Open Maximum) after K factor
balancing has been completed.
Heating coil water flow calibration
When modulating reheat or modulating peripheral heat is
configured, the Niagara tool allows you to override hot water
valve positions.
To override the reheat valve position, type the reheat value in
percentage and click the Override button next to Reheat Valve
Override field.
To override the peripheral heat valve position, type the
peripheral heat value in percentage and click the Override
button next to the Peripheral Heat Valve Override field.
NOTE: Click the Auto button to set the reheat and
peripheral heat valve into automatic operation.
