Performing Manual Checkout of Air Flow

After completing the automated flow balancing process, you can use manual checkout to verify and command the air flow values for one or multiple MP-V controllers.

eComission Application MP-V Controller Flow Balancer Workflow

Start eCommission application

Start the eCommission application and log in as either a Technician or Flow Balancer.

For more information, see Downloading and Starting the eCommission SmartX Controllers Mobile Application .

Start flow balance process

Start the flow balance process for an MP-V controller installed on a VAV unit. The direction of damper rotation is verified automatically during this process.

Configure air balancing setpoints

You configure the MP-V controller setpoints to set up the parameters by which the controller is flow balanced. These setpoints include the maximum flow setpoint, selected by default, and the intermediate and minimum flow setpoints, which are optional.

For more information, see Configuring MP-V Controller Setpoints .

Balance at the selected flow setpoints

Using the eCommission application, you flow balance a VAV unit at each designated setpoint to achieve the desired air flow.

For more information, see Flow Balancing at Maximum, Intermediate, or Minimum Flow Setpoint .

Perform optional tasks as needed

After flow balancing the MP-V controller, you can perform other tasks as needed:

  • Manual checkouts of air flow

    After completing the automated flow balancing process, you can optionally verify and command the air flow values by performing manual checkout.

    For more information, see Performing Manual Checkout of Air Flow .

  • Create, append, view, or delete flow balance reports

    After completing flow balancing, you can use the eCommission application to create, append, view, or delete flow balance reports.

    For more information, see Managing Flow Balance Reports .

  • Capture device information from the controller

    You can use the Controller List Creator function of the eCommission application to capture device information from the Digital Matrix symbol on the tear-off product info labels of SmartX IP controllers.

    For more information, see Using Controller List Creator .

To perform manual checkout of air flow

  1. In the Flow balance function, in the Manual checkout view, tap one of the flow or position options. If you want to use either the Drive to % position or Drive to flow option, first type a value in the text box and then tap the option.

  2. Tap the information icon

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke
    to expand the Current Status pane and then monitor the response in the terminal box.

You have manually verified the performance of the terminal box following flow balancing. Next you can view, create, append, or manage the flow balance reports.
