Commissioning procedure 

1.  Ensure the APV is connected to the PRV but with the control space tap either 

shut.  
 

2.  Open the upstream and downstream taps, this will pressurise the i2O APV and 

pipe  work.  Check  for  leaks  on  both  the  hoses  and  the  fittings  at  this  point, 
rectifying or repairing as necessary. 

 

3.  When you see pressures recorded on the i2O Configurator (“Live Data” Screen) 

that are within acceptable limits for the location, slowly open the control space 
tap.  

 

4.  The pilot will now take control of the valve and it is likely that some change in the 

downstream 

pressure 

could 

be 

registered 

at 

this 

point.  

Note:  Different  sized valves  can  react  to  changes  in their control  pressures  at 
different speeds, small valves can react almost instantly and can be very variable 
whereas larger valves tend to move more slowly but be more stable.

 

 

5.  Allow  the  pressures  to  stabilise  before  making  any  adjustments.  Given  the 

variability of installation, it is possible for set pressures to be +/- 2meters from the 
target  pressure  required.  If  this  occurs,  then  adjust  the  end  cap,  using  the  C 
spanner in the method described earlier, either in a clockwise or anti clockwise 
rotation 

to 

achieve 

the 

target 

start 

pressure. 

Do not change any other settings at this point; only adjust the APV end cap if 
necessary.

 

 

 

 

6.  At this stage, the pilot will work as a conventional hydraulic pilot and will attempt 

to maintain the set fixed outlet pressure.  

 

7.  In order for the system to begin controlling, this must be correctly configured in 

oNet,  the  oNet  settings  will  take  effect  the  next  time  the  device  dials  up. 

It  is 

recommended that  the installer forces a  dial-up to check the  behaviour before 
leaving site, as control settings could immediately change pressure

.  

 

8.  When  active  control  is  implemented  and  the  user  is  satisfied  with  the  correct 

operation of the i2O system, then it is important that service mode is deactivated 
before disconnection of the device from the Configurator.  

 

 
Installation  of  the  PRV  Control  System  is  now  complete.  If  you  experience  any 
difficulty  or  require  assistance  at  any  stage  please  email  photographs  of  the 
installation to 

support@i2owater.com

, stating the name and location of the site and 

device serial number.
