SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
The AVC product family integrates a high-performance controller with the revolutionary award
winning AccuValve®product. The Engineers at Accutrol have used technology and innovation
to make the AVC AccuValve®not only the most advanced airflow control valve in the industry,
but also the most reliable and intuitive airflow control valve available.
1.1 Theory of Operation (Reference the Diagram Below)
The AccuValve®divides the airflow into two equal chambers using an airfoil shaped
compression section. Each chamber is comprised of a vortex shedding airflow sensor, a
modulating control blade and a static regain section. As air enters the chambers it accelerates
and compresses, creating an ideal zone for measuring airflow velocity. The vortex shedding
airflow sensors provide a highly repeatable digital pulse-train with a frequency that is directly
proportional to the air flow velocity in each chamber of the AccuValve®.
The digital signal generated by each vortex shedding sensor provides a direct measurement of
the volumetric flow rate in each chamber of the AccuValve®. The airflow measurement
provides closed-loop feedback to the ePI®controller which modulates the valve actuator to
maintain the desired airflow set point. The airflow set point can be provided from either,
analog input, digital input, communications over BACnet MS/TP or AVC internal program
memory. The AVC also provides analog output signals and alarm outputs which can be used to
indicate abnormal airflow conditions.
For network communications, the AVC provides an EIA-485 port supporting BACnet MS/TP as a
Full Master Node state machine. Field programming is accomplished through AccuValve
Insight, which is an intuitive user-interface software. Connection between the AVC and
computer is provided through a USB port located on the AVC control module, optional monitor,
or through an optional wireless Bluetooth connection.

SECTION 4 - INSTALLATION
Read all instructions and review the installation diagrams provided on the following pages prior
to beginning installation.
CAUTION: Wear eye protection, cut-resistant gloves, and clothing suitable for working
with sheet metal. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
1. Verify the tag number located on the valve label matches the HVAC schedule.
2. Locate the duct section which the valve is servicing and select a suitable mounting
location for the valve.
NOTE: Though the AccuValve does not require straight-run inlet conditions to operate
properly, it’s always best to follow HVAC Best Practices for Commercial Buildings during
installation which includes locating the valve away from transitions and bends to
minimize impact on system static pressure. Also, be sure to select a location that will
provide a minimum clearance of 14” (356mm) unobstructed access to the control
module, actuator and valve access cover.
3. Provide an opening in the duct section sized appropriately for the valve being installed.
NOTE: A slip-fit valve will require an opening approximately 2” smaller than the valve
length and a flanged valve will require an opening the same as the valve length. For
valve dimensions, reference Section 3.
4. Install duct hangers within 12” (305mm) from each end of the valve connections.
Reference Section 3 for valve weights.
WARNING:Use duct hangers and hardware designed to support the total load of the
valve and associated duct sections. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury
or death.
5. Install the valve into the duct in accordance with the airflow direction label located on
the valve. Position the valve for easy access to the control module side. Since the
AccuValve is not position sensitive, it can be installed in any plane or rotational axis
without having impact on the performance.
NOTE: Screws, nuts, fasteners, duct sealant, hangers, companion flanges and gaskets
are NOT provided by Accutrol.

Note: If 24VAC is applied then the USB is connected beforehand, or if
the switch position is changed while a USB connection is active, the
controller will revert to bootloader mode and will not function properly.
Note: If a controller is in bootloader mode, disconnect the USB,
disconnect the 24VAC power, ensure the power source switch is set to
the “operational position”, and wait 5 seconds. After these steps,
reconnecting 24VAC power first will resume normal operation.

6.4.1 Connecting to a standard AVC6000 using USB cable
6.4.1.1 Power Source Switch
The AVC6000 controller has a Power Source Switch which should always be in the
“Operational Position” for the controller to function normally. The “Nonoperational
Position” is provided so the controller can be programmed or configured when there is no
24v power source available. This is a convenient feature for configuring the BACnet
parameters or the controller’s analog output prior to having the 24v power source wired.
Operational Position
Nonoperational Position
24v power is provided to the controller
through the 24v connector. This is the
normal position for the Power Source
Switch.
5vdc power is provided to the controller
through the computer connected to the
USB Configuration Port. This is a
temporary position only.
Note: The Power Source Switch must be returned to the Operational Position after
completing the configuration otherwise the controller will not function.

6.5.1 Configuring USB Driver
In some instances, the Windows 10 machine being used to run Insight may not be equipped
with the appropriate USB driver package needed to connect. This is a possible occurrence with
new machines which have never downloaded this driver package. This can be fixed by now
downloading the driver package which Accutrol has provided.
If the correct driver is missing, insight will likely display “No Accutrol Device Located” after
clicking Locate Accutrol USB Devices despite the PC being connected to the controller board.
Should troubleshooting indicate that a missing driver is the problem; follow the steps listed
below:
1. Navigate to the unzipped Zip file named “Accuvalve Insight”that was already
downloaded to your pc.
2. Within this folder is another Zip file called CP210x_Windows_Drivers.

3. Extract the contents of this .zip file and enter the unzipped folder.
4. Find the .exe files called “CP210xVCPInstaller” and run the x64 version or x86 version
depending on the type of operating system that’s on your pc.
5. After installation, clicking the locate Accutrol USB Device button should successfully
locate a COM port when connected to an AccuValve Controller.
Note: It may be necessary to restart your PC after installation of the CP2120x driver for
the install to take effect.
