INSTALLATION Controls: Valve There are two controls used to operate the AM7E-001 flow control valve: The first control is the SWITCH by which the operator can select a high or low flow range. The second is the flow rate ADJUSTMENT KNOB. This control knob allows the operator to set a desired flow rate in either the high flow or low flow range.

WIRING ELECTRICAL SET-UP: Actuator Board Both power cable and 4-20mA cable must be connected. First, remove the electrical panel cover by loosening the four (4) screws on the electrical box and removing the panel. Be careful not to lose the screws. ACTUATOR WIRING: 4-20mA 1. Connect 24VDC Power to Terminal Block 1. 2. Connect Ground to Terminal Block 2. 3. Connect the positive side of the 4-20mA cable to Terminal Block 3. 4. Connect the negative side of the 4-20mA cable to Terminal Block 4. WARNING Incorrect wiring may damage the unit! Figure 1 Each terminal block is positioned next to the wire it should be connected to in order to interface with the actuator. 00000329-0900-014 * Rev. A, 07/16 Page 10 of 20
COMMUNICATIONS ETHERNET COMMUNICATION SET-UP: OPTIONAL Additionally, if an Ethernet connection is desired a cable must be connected according to the diagram. 1. Connect TX + to Terminal Block 13. 3. Connect TX - to Terminal Block 14. 3. Connect RX + to Terminal Block 15. 4. Connect RX - to Terminal Block 16. CAUTION Parameters are pre-set at the manufacturer. CONNECTION TO DEVICE: STEPS: 1. Connect Ethernet lines to actuator (this must be done before power up). 2. Connect PC and Actuator to DHCP Router (WIFI must be disabled). 3. Connect power supply lines to actuator. 4. Apply +24VDC power. 5. Connect to website with the address http://acmxxxx, where xxxx is the serial number of device. The serial number may be found in two (2) locations: a. Front of actuator cover b. Junction box. 6. When prompted enter user name and password. 7. Allow device page to load; you should see the Link LED graphic blinking. 8. Click on all pages, one at a time, to load initially; this may take several seconds the first time pages are opened, after that navigation between pages should be faster. 00000329-0900-014 * Rev.

CAUTION Caution CAUTION IMPROPER INSTALLATION AND START-UP MAY CAUSE DAMAGE VALVE INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATION The purge port on an Amflow valve should be connected to a return to tank line with a needle valve. This aids in the following: Helps remove air from valve upon start-up. Provides a means of cleaning jets with high pressure in the event of chemical build-up. IMPORTANT Proper filtration is critical for low flow applications. RECOMMENDATION: 50 micron filter VALVE START-UP Step 1 Turn adjustment knob counter-clockwise to a soft Stop. Then, turn one (1) revolution clock-wise. Step 2 Close Inlet Isolation valve of each valve in system Step 3 Start pump Adjust system pressure to accommodate pressure requirements IMPORTANT This is especially important for valves configured to flow less than 5 lph 00000329-0900-014 * Rev. A, 07/16 Page 16 of 20
CAUTION PROCEED with CAUTION This is very important, especially at high system pressures to prevent potential damage to seals and other internal components of valve. Step 4 VERY SLOWLY open Outlet Isolation Valve. Step 5 VERY SLOWLY open Inlet Isolation Valve. This allows fluid to be introduced gradually. Once Amflow valve has been filled with fluid, there is little risk of damage. Step 6 Allow sufficient time for media to flush any trapped air out of valve. IMPORTANT: On valves that are configured to meter less that 10 liters per hour it is very important that at least 20 minutes be allowed for this step. Trapped air can cause the set flow rate of valve to diminish slowly. Step 6 Once all air is eliminated, begin system operation. Step 7 Turn valve adjustment handle to ensure that it turns easily. WARRANTY Amflow warranty does not cover Amflow valves if proper chemical filtration is not provided. Reference full warranty at back of Installation and Service Manual provided with your Amflow product. 00000329-0900-014 * Rev. A, 07/16 Page 17 of 20
SAFETY Safety SAFETY INFORMATION Usage Use products only within range of pressure and temperature conditions indicated on product data sheet. Do not use with chemicals which are incompatible with 316SS or with seal materials. Equipment is certified for Group 2 Category II. Equipment should not be used in systems requiring a higher level of certification. Faults and Damage The safety features and integrity of products may be compromised by any of the following: External damage to body. Exposure to pressure loads in excess of maximum rated pressure. Maintenance performed by improperly trained personnel. Protection from Pressure Releases To avoid injury due to release of high pressure, use only adaptors and fittings rated to withstand appropriate pressure. Ensure all adaptors and fittings are securely connected. To avoid a violent release of pressure, slowly bleed off pressure before attaching or removal from pressure line. Avoid Mechanical Damage Caution must be observed not to damage any threaded components during maintenance procedure. Such damage could compromise the pressure safety factor of filter. When replacing seals, care must be exercised to avoid damage to sealing surfaces. Damage could lead to a sudden release of pressure during operation. 00000329-0900-014 * Rev. A, 07/16 Page 18 of 20
