C) TO EXIT THE CONFIGURATION MODE
Follow the same steps as explained in Section 5C (TO EXIT
THE ENGINEERING MODE).
After all wiring and plumbing has been completed, and the
Engineering and Configuration parameters have been
confirmed, the system is ready for startup. After exiting
the Configuration Mode, the SMARTVALVE will be in the
OPERATIONAL MODE of the selected Control Scheme.
Once the system is up and running, the TOP LINE of the
SMARTVALVE display screen will read either the water FLOW
rate or the chlorine residual (RES) level, depending on the
active Control Scheme. The ball float in the remote metering
tube should read the same gas feed rate as shown on the
bottom line of the SMARTVALVE display screen. ALWAYS
READ THE CENTER OF THE BALL FLOAT.
IMPORTANT:
The REGAL 7500 Remote Meter Panel MUST
be configured for AUTOMATIC control.
A) LINEARIZING (CALIBRATING) THE
SMARTVALVE
IMPORTANT: As previously mentioned, the SMARTVALVE
has been calibrated (linearized) at the factory, however, it is
still recommended that the user/installer checks and becomes
familiar with the linearization process at startup, especially if all
system components HAVE NOT been supplied by Chlorinators
Incorporated. To check the linearization, proceed as follows:
1) ENTER THE ENGINEERING MODE as explained in
Section 5.0.
2) Once in the Engineering Mode, scroll to the CAL VALVE
parameter.
NOTE:
This Linearization process will be based upon
the factory set, 5-point linearization curve. To confirm
this setting, check the previous Engineering parameter,
VALVE CAL PTS (Valve Calibration Points).
3) While observing the ball float in the Remote Metering
Tube, press the ADJ (adjust) keypad button and the
SMARTVALVE will start to drive to the ZERO feed rate
position. The ball should come to rest on the bottom
stop of the metering tube at exactly the same time the
motor stops driving.
4) The Top Line of the SMARTVALVE display screen will
show a ZERO VOLTAGE reading of 0.45 V.
NOTE:
A voltage reading from 0.41 to 0.49 is acceptable.
IMPORTANT:
If for some reason the voltage reading
falls outside of the acceptable range, contact
Chlorinators Incorporated for assistance.
5) Once the correct ZERO voltage reading has been
confirmed, press the NEXT keypad button and the
SMARTVALVE will automatically open to the second
linearization point which represents 25% of the system’s
Full Scale (capacity). e.g.- For a 50 PPD system, 25%
would be 12.5 PPD.
6) If the reading on the metering tube panel equals the
r
eading on the SMARTVALVE display screen, press
ENTER and proceed to step 8.
7) If the readings DO NOT match, press ADJ (adjust). Use
the UP and DOWN keypad buttons to move the ball float
to the correct (12.5 PPD) reading on the metering tube.
Once the value matches the reading on the display,
press ENTER to accept.
8
) Press NEXT and the SMARTVALVE will automatically
open to the third linearization point representing 50% of
the valve’s capacity. e.g.- 50% of a 50 PPD system
equals 25 PPD.
NOTE:
Follow the same procedure described in steps 6
and 7 to complete the 50% point. Then continue on to the
fourth linearization point (75%) and the fifth linearization
point (100%).
9) Linearization is now complete. Press ESC (escape)
which accepts the Linearization and returns you to the
Engineering parameter, CAL VALVE. Press ESC
(escape) a second time to exit the Engineering Mode.
IMPORTANT:
IF THE SYSTEM IS BEING USED FOR
FLOW PROPORTIONAL CONTROL OR FEED
FORWARD DECHLORINATION, ALL NECESSARY
STEPS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED TO START
OPERATING THE SMARTVALVE. PROCEED TO
SECTION 8.0 (OPERATIONAL MODE). HOWEVER, IF
THE SYSTEM IS TO BE USED FOR RESIDUAL ONLY
OR COMPOUND LOOP CONTROL, THE CONTROL
PARAMETERS LISTED BELOW MUST BE SET
PRIOR TO OPERATION.
B) SETTING CONTROL PARAMETERS
As mentioned, the Control Parameters are used exclusively for
system’s using COMPOUND LOOP (CL) or RESIDUAL ONLY
(RO) Control and are accessible from the OPERATIONAL
MODE of either of these Control Schemes. To access these
parameters, proceed as follows:
Press and hold the far left (#1) keypad button for approximately
5 seconds until the first Control Parameter, RES CTRL GAIN
(Residual Control Gain), is displayed. NOTE:
Make sure you
have UNLOCKED the Control Parameters in the Configuration
Mode.
Use the following list to view and/or make changes to this and
all other Control Parameters. They are listed in the order they
will appear with a complete explanation including the settings
and applicable Control Scheme(s). ONLY the parameters for
the active Control Scheme will be accessible. Setting these
parameters is done the same as described for the
Configuration parameters: Press ADJ (adjust). Scroll UP or
DOWN to the desired selection. Press ENTER to accept.
