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, three different types of valve. The three types of valve can 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 producing a commissioning report.
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 for 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 and so 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 ProComm unit. PcomPRO gives the user the option of preparing a ‘project’ on a computer
prior to commissioning the system. The data from the commissioning process can be saved to the
ProComm unit for later use.
