Motor HP Changes: 

Connect the keypad to the VFD you wish to re-program. Using the above instructions, 

navigate to parameter P320.06. This will display the HP in Kw that the VFD has been set to for that fan motor. If the 
fan HP needs to be changed, depress the “Scroll Up” or “Scroll Down” button to change the setting to the correct 
Kw for the HP desired 

(See HP to Kw conversion chart Pg. 15)

. Depress “Enter” button and hold for 3 seconds 

until “Save” is no longer flashing. Depress “Return” to return to main screen.

  

 
The startup is now complete. To test the systems fire suppression interlock, and Auto Fan Control for IMC 507.1.1 
compliance follow the Test Procedures in the next section. For operation information and system adjustments see 
System Operation section. 

 

                                                    

Test Procedures 

 

Testing of the System for IMC 507.1.1  Compliance:  Please read  complete  test  procedures  prior to 
attempting function test for Fire Marshal.  
 
Note: For timely automatic de-activation, the test should be done in the following order: 1) Auto-
Activation, 2) Fire System Activation, 3) Auto-Shut Down. When the test is done in this sequence, the 
Micro-Switch trip will bypass the 30-minute run timer initiated on start-up and the system will Auto-Shut 
Down in 3-5 minutes. If not, the system will run for approximately 33 minutes before shutting down 
automatically.   

 

1. 

Cycle all control power to the Control Box and VFD’s to reset the system prior to test. Fan(s) and light(s) should 
be de-energized prior to initiating the test procedures below.  

 

2. 

Conduct the test by applying heat to any one of the hood sensor(s)  located  in the center of  the hood(s),  in 
between  and in line with  the light(s) and in front of the grease filters. 

Note:

 It does not require much heat. The 

palm of your hand or hot water should be enough. 

DO NOT USE A TORCH!  

When the hood sensor(s) detect a 

rise in temperature the fan(s) and light(s) will automatically energize. Both Fan and Light buttons will illuminate on 
the display indicating that  power  is going to  the fan(s)  and  light(s).  For multiple  hood systems, when any  hood 
sensor(s) detects a temperature rise, the fan(s) and light(s) will automatically energize for all hoods connected to 
that  Control  Box. 

Note:  Allow the system to continue operating after the  automatic  activation  to perform 

fire system test described below. 

3. 

For this portion of the test, the system should still be operating in automatic mode, described above. The system 
is designed  to shut down the  lights and  MUA  fan(s),  continue to run  the  Exhaust  fan(s), and  provide 120V for 
shunt trip breaker(s) in Fire Mode. To conduct this test, simply trip the fire suppression Micro-Switch to simulate 
Fire Mode. The Exhaust fan(s) should continue to run, the light(s) and MUA fan(s) should shut off, the Auxiliary 
Contacts should change state and 120V should be provided for shunt trip breaker(s). “FIRE” will be on the display 
indicating that the system is in Fire Mode. After testing, place the Micro-Switch back to the normal position. The 
light(s) and MUA fan(s) should re-energize. Shunt trip breaker(s) will need to be reset, if applicable. The system 
will shut down automatically after the sensor(s) have cooled to the factory pre-set Low End Turn Off temperature 
of 88° F. (may be accomplished with cool water), and the system detects no additional rise in temperature within 
3-5 minutes. This will complete the test procedure. 

 

If the Fan and or Light button has been manually depressed and the system is running in manual mode it must be 
manually shut down. In normal operation there will be a factory set 30-minute Initial Safety Timer that must elapse 
before the system  will de-energize. For  multiple hood systems, the warmest sensor must cool to  the factory set 
point before automatic de-activation will occur. 

                                                   

 

 

System Operation 

 

To comply with the International Mechanical Code 507.1.1 the commercial kitchen exhaust system shall operate 
during the cooking operation and have automatic controls that will activate the fan(s) no more than 15 minutes 
after the first appliance under the hood has been turned on. 
 
The AFC-DCV (Auto Fan Control with Demand Control Ventilation) will accomplish this by automatically activating 
the fan(s) and light(s) anytime a hood sensor detects a rise in temperature.
