Balancing a dual duct system - Metasys - LIT-12011087 - NS-ATV7001-0 - NS-ATV7002-0 - NS-ATV7003-0 - NS-BTV7001-0 - NS-BTV7002-0 - Accessory - Handheld VAV Balancing Sensor/Tool

To balance a dual duct system:

Use Table 1 to navigate through the VAV Balancing Device menus.
To exit, press the Enter button when EXIT appears on the highest submenu.

Note: Exit the balancing mode before removing power from the handheld balancing tool; this exit returns the VAV controller to normal operation. If you do not exit balancing mode, a delay may occur (while the inactivity timer expires) before the VAV controller returns to normal operation, or if you try to reenter the balancing mode.

Note: Shaded portions of table indicate items that display only in certain applications. Un-shaded portions list items common to all applications.

Table 1. Dual Duct or Dual Duct Exhaust Balancing Sequence
Submenu 1	Submenu 2	Submenu 3	Data Range	Edit-able	Description
Controller Address [25]	--	--	000-127	No	DIP switch address of the Controller. Press the Enter button to move to the next action.
Balance Mode [BAL]	Cold Duct [Cd]	dP Offset [dPO]	00.00-99.99	No	Absolute value of offset in percent. If greater than 10%, the damper may not be closing completely. Verify that the damper shaft has not slipped and is moving freely. Then autocalibrate the dP.
		Auto Calibrate dP [ACAL]	No [NO] Yes [YES]	Yes	Select [YES] to close the box and recalibrate the dP Offset.
		Flow Setpoint Override [FLSP]	None [NONE] Cooling Max [CMAX] Cooling Min [CMIN] Closed [OFF]	Yes	Once entered, the controller drives to the selected setpoint. The override remains active for 30 minutes (configurable in the controller’s application). Select [NONE] to remove the override from all dampers. The Hot Duct damper is closed when Cold Duct is overriden to Min or Max Flow.
		Actual Flow [FLOW]	0001 - 9999	Yes	Displays measured flow until adjusted by user. When adjusted and entered, it triggers controller to recalculate the Gain. (Units may be CFM, L/S, and CM/Hr as determined by application; however, the range is limited to a maximum value of 9999 CM/Hr.)
		Box Gain - K Factor [K]	0.001 - 9.999	No	If actual flow is entered, this displays the new current gain (K).
		Exit [EXIT]	--	No	Press Enter button to return previous menu. Turn the knob to loop through the current menu.
Balance Mode [BAL] (Cont.)	Hot Duct [Hd]	dP Offset [dPO]	00.00-99.99	No	Absolute value of offset in percent. If greater than 10%, the damper may not be closing completely. Verify that the damper shaft has not slipped and is moving freely. Then autocalibrate the dP.
		Auto Calibrate dP [ACAL]	No [NO] Yes [YES]	Yes	Selecting Yes closes the box and recalibrates the dP Offset.
		Flow Setpoint Override [FLSP]	None [NONE] Heating Max [HMAX] Heating Min [HMIN] Closed [OFF]	Yes	Once entered, the controller drives to the selected setpoint. The override remains active for 30 minutes (configurable in the controller’s application). Select None to remove the override from all dampers. The Cold Duct damper is closed when Hot Duct is overridden to Min or Max Flow. The Heating Max Flow Setpoint is used only for variable volume dual duct applications. For constant volume dual duct applications, the Cooling Max Flow Setpoint sets the box flow (that is, total flow), and the Heating Max Flow Setpoint is ignored.
		Actual Flow [FLOW]	0001 - 9999	Yes	Displays measured flow until adjusted by user. When adjusted and entered, it triggers controller to recalculate the Gain. (Units may be CFM, L/S, and CM/Hr as determined by application; however, the range is limited to a max. value of 9999 CM/Hr.)
		Box Gain - K Factor [K]	0.001 - 9.999	No	If actual flow is entered, this displays the new current gain (K).
		Exit [EXIT]	--	No	Press the Enter button to return to the previous menu. Turn the knob to loop through the current menu.
Balance Mode [BAL] (Cont.)	Exhaust Duct [EXH]	dP Offset [dPO]	00.00-99.99	No	Absolute value of offset in percent. If greater than 10%, the damper may not be closing completely. Verify that the damper shaft has not slipped and is moving freely. Then autocalibrate the dP.
		Auto Calibrate dP [ACAL]	No [NO] Yes [YES]	Yes	Selecting Yes closes the box and recalibrates the dP Offset.
		Flow Setpoint Override [FLSP]	None [NONE] Cooling Max [CMAX] Cooling Min [CMIN] Heating Max [HMAX] Heating Min [HMIN] Closed [OFF]	Yes	Once entered, the controller drives to the selected setpoint. Hot Duct damper is closed when Cold Duct is overridden to Min or Max Flow. Similarly, the Cold Duct damper is closed when the Hot Duct is overridden to Min or Max Flow. Also note that if you select Close [OFF], then the Hot Duct, Cold Duct, and Exhaust dampers are all closed. Select None to remove the override from all dampers. The Heating Max Flow Setpoint is used only for variable volume dual duct applications. For constant volume dual duct applications, the Cooling Max Flow Setpoint sets the box flow (that is, total flow), and the Heating Max Flow Setpoint is ignored.
		Actual Flow [FLOW]	0001 - 9999	Yes	Displays the measured flow until adjusted by user. When adjusted and entered, it triggers controller to recalculate the Gain.
		Pickup Gain - K Factor [K]	0.001 - 9.999	No	If actual flow is entered, this displays the new current gain (K).
		Exit [EXIT]	--	No	Press the Enter button to return to the previous menu. Turn the knob to loop through the current menu.
	Exit [EXIT]	--	--	No	Press the Enter button to return to the previous menu. Turn the knob to loop through the current menu.
Parameter Mode [PARM]	Flow Setpoints [FLSP]	Cooling Max Flow [CMAX]	0001 - 9999	Yes	Occupied Setpoint Only. Units may be CFM, L/S, and CM/Hr as determined by application.

		Heating Max Flow [HMAX]	0001 - 9999	Yes	Occupied Setpoint Only. Units may be CFM, L/S, and CM/Hr as determined by application. The Heating Max Flow Setpoint is used only for variable volume dual duct applications. For constant volume dual duct applications, the Cooling Max Flow Setpoint sets the box flow (that is, total flow), and the Heating Max Flow Setpoint is ignored.
