Installing MP-V on a Damper that Rotates Counter-Clockwise (CCW) to Open

You install the MP-V directly over the VAV damper shaft for damper positioning control and air flow sensing. When you install the MP-V on a damper that rotates counter-clockwise (CCW) to open, use WorkStation or the eCommission SmartX Controllers mobile application to ensure that the configured direction of the actuator rotation matches the damper type.

Déclaration

VAV DAMPER NOT PROPERLY CONTROLLED

Ensure that the VAV controller damper actuator can rotate freely between the fully open and fully closed positions.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in the VAV damper not being properly controlled by the controller.

The MP-V incorporates an integral actuator and the device is designed for over-the-shaft damper installation.

Figure : MP-V installed over the damper shaft

The MP-V can be used with dampers that are opened in clockwise (CW) position as well as dampers opened in counter-clockwise (CCW) position. You use WorkStation or the eCommission SmartX Controllers mobile application to configure the MP-V actuator direction of rotation accordingly.

The MP-V is typically installed with the air flow sensor barbed fittings pointing down (orientation B in the figure below). The MP-V can also be installed with the barbed fittings pointing left (A), right (C), or up (D).

 
action_zoom_plus_stroke Supported installation orientations

With a downward extension, the available area around the damper shaft must measure:

  • 160 mm (6 inches) down from the lower edge of the shaft,

  • 120 mm (4.5 inches) to the right,

  • 45 mm (1.75 inches) to the left, and

  • 45 mm (1.75 inches) above the shaft.

Ensure that the location allows enough clearance for servicing.

The MP-V actuator is designed to be installed over a 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) diameter round damper shaft with a minimum of 54 mm (2.125 inches) exposed damper shaft length.

When the damper shaft diameter is less than 12.7 mm (0.5 inch), an adapter is required. An adapter with part number AM-135 can be ordered from Schneider Electric to enable installation on a 9.5 mm (0.375 inches) diameter damper shaft.

Déclaration

The cutout section of the shaft adapter must be positioned such that the damper shaft mounting screws are tightened against the damper shaft and not the adapter cylinder.

When the exposed damper shaft length is less than 54 mm (2.125 inches) but greater than 22.2 mm (0.875 inch), you move the damper shaft mounting screws from the actuator collar to the alternative screw holes on the MP-V actuator.

The MP-V also has two mounting brackets, which allow you to choose the mounting bracket that best accomodates the available access space in the VAV mounting area. You position the anti-rotation clip in the desired mounting bracket.

The MP-V onboard air flow sensor is connected to an air velocity probe in the VAV box using two tubes. A dip in the tubing helps prevent moisture from entering the MP-V and damaging the air flow sensor. The dip should extend below the elevation of the barbed fittings. This applies to all MP-V orientations, but especially C and D.

The MP-V is delivered with terminal blocks installed on the device. Spare terminal blocks can be ordered separately using the part number SXWMPVCON10001.

The terminal blocks are removable. You can quickly and easily replace an MP-V because no terminal wiring is affected.

When the MP-V is powered up for the first time, the MP-V software automatically performs an actuator travel and damper position calibration. The calibration operation drives the damper actuator in the close direction and registers the position when the actuator encounters the stop. The software then drives the actuator in the open direction and registers the position when the stop is encountered. The software uses that information to scale the 0 to 100% span. Mechanical obstructions hindering the damper actuator rotation during the calibration process can adversely affect the calibration results and thus the VAV damper operation. In that case, you can manually run a recalibration. Pour plus d'informations, voir Configuring an MP-V Damper Command .

Déclaration

Initial calibration of actuator travel and damper position is performed automatically when the MP-V is powered up for the first time. If you subsequently press the manual override button, you must recalibrate the MP-V manually. Pour plus d'informations, voir Configuring an MP-V Damper Command .

Déclaration

VAV DAMPER NOT PROPERLY CONTROLLED

  • Ensure that the MP-V is properly installed and secured prior to application of the 24 VAC power.

  • Ensure that the MP-V damper actuator can rotate freely between the fully open and fully closed positions.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in the VAV damper not being properly controlled by the MP-V.

To install MP-V on a damper that rotates counter-clockwise (CCW) to open

  1. Refer to the dimensional drawing before installing the MP-V.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  2. Ensure that the damper is of the type that opens by turning the damper shaft counter-clockwise (CCW).

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  3. Determine the damper shaft length (L) and diameter (D).

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  4. If the exposed damper shaft length (L) is less than 54 mm (2.125 inches) but greater than 22.2 mm (0.875 inch), move the two damper shaft mounting screws to the alternative screw holes for shorter damper shaft lengths.

    Pour plus d'informations, voir Moving the Damper Shaft Mounting Screws to the Alternative Positions for Short Shafts Only on MP-V .

  5. If the damper shaft diameter (D) is equal to 9.5 mm (0.375 inch), install an AM-135 shaft adapter on the damper shaft.

    Pour plus d'informations, voir Installing an AM-135 Shaft Adapter on a 9.5 mm (0.375 inch) Diameter Damper Shaft .

  6. Rotate the damper shaft to fully closed (CW) position.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  7. Press and hold the manual override button and rotate the actuator collar to fully closed (CW) position.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  8. Release the manual override button. If necessary, rotate the actuator collar slightly to make the button return to the fully extended position.

  9. Loosen the two damper shaft mounting screws using a 1/8-inch hex key and slide the controller over the damper shaft until the anti-rotation clip comes in close contact with the mounting area on the VAV box.

    Déclaration

    When necessary due to mounting area restrictions or obstacles, the anti-rotation clip can be moved from the mounting bracket at the bottom of the controller (factory delivered location) to the mounting bracket on the side of the controller (alternative location).

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  10. To preload the damper for closed position, rotate the controller counter-clockwise (CCW) about three degrees or 10 mm (0.4 inch) off centerline of the damper.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  11. Tighten the two damper shaft mounting screws to the recommended torque using a torque wrench. For steel damper shafts, 6.8 to 7.9 Nm (60 to 70 lbf.in) is recommended. For aluminum damper shafts, 4.0 to 5.1 Nm (35 to 45 lbf.in) is recommended.

    Déclaration

    When using the alternative positions for shorter damper shaft lengths, tighten the mounting screw that can be accessed, rotate the hub 90 degrees counter-clockwise (CCW) and tighten the other screw, then rotate the hub back 90 degrees clockwise (CW). Recommended screw tightening torque:

    • Steel damper shafts: 4.5 to 5.6 Nm (40 to 50 lbf.in)

    • Aluminum damper shafts: 4.0 to 5.1 Nm (35 to 45 lbf.in)

    Déclaration

    When using an AM-135 shaft adapter, position the cutout section of the adapter cylinder to match the damper shaft mounting screw positions, before you tighten the screws against the damper shaft through the cutout section. Do not tighten the screws against the adapter cylinder.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  12. Rotate the controller clockwise (CW) back into alignment with the centerline of the damper. The damper should now be tightly closed.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  13. Using the controller's anti-rotation clip as a template, mark and drill a pilot hole in the VAV box.

  14. Ensure the mounting hole position does not affect the performance of the VAV terminal unit. If the damper movement is affected, install the anti-rotation clip in the mounting bracket on the side of the controller (alternative location).

  15. Secure the anti-rotation clip to the VAV box using a #10 self-tapping sheet metal screw.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  16. Press and hold the manual override button and rotate the damper counter-clockwise (CCW) to fully open position by rotating the damper shaft.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  17. Release the manual override button. If necessary, rotate the actuator collar slightly to make the button return to the fully extended position.

  18. Loosen the CCW travel adjustment screw using a 1/4-inch hex key, slide the screw to the damper position indicator, and tighten the screw to 1.4 to 2.0 Nm (12 to 18 lbf.in) using a torque wrench.

    Déclaration

    Loosen the screw only a quarter of a turn.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  19. Verify that damper can rotate freely between the fully open and fully closed positions. There must be no binding between the actuator and damper, or obstructions hindering the damper operation.

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke

  20. In WorkStation, ensure that Counterclockwise to open is the chosen direction of the actuator rotation to open the damper.
