SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
The AVR product family integrates a high-performance airflow and temperature controller with
the revolutionary award winning AccuValve®.Accutrol has applied years of experience,
technology and innovation to make the AVR AccuValve®not only the most advanced airflow
control valve in the industry, but also the most reliable and intuitive room airflow and
temperature control system 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 setpoint.
The AVR combined with the Accutrol Room Temperature Sensor provides the foundation for a
comprehensive airflow and temperature control system that is designed specifically for critical
laboratory applications that may include numerous VAV fume hoods within the controlled
space. The AVR communicates with the building automation network via EIA-485 supporting
BACnet MS/TP as a Full Master Node state machine. Field programming is accomplished
through the AccuValve Insight user-interface software which runs on a Windows 10 computer
or tablet. Communication between the configuration computer and the AVR is provided
through a USB connection 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.

6.4.1 Power Source Switch
The AVR6000 control module includes a Power Source Switch which should always be in
the “24v” position for the controller to function normally. The “USB” 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 AVR prior to
having 24v field power.
24v Position
USB Position
This is the normal operational
position for the AVR6000 controller.
If the Power Source Switch is not in
the 24v position, the AVR controller
will not function properly.
The USB position shall only be used
to temporarily power the AVR6000
from the computer’s USB 5vdc
power source when 24v filed power
is not connected. The AVR controller
will not fully function with the Power
Source Switch in the USB position.
Note: The Power Source Switch must be returned to the 24v Position
otherwise the controller will not function properly.

6.5.1 Configuring USB Driver
If you are attempting to connect through the USB port and you receive the following
message after selecting the “Locate Accutrol Devices” button, you may have a defective
USB cable or your computer does not have the required USB drivers.
First verify the USB cable is firmly plugged in at both ends and confirm the USB cable is a
data cable and not a charging cable. Charging cables will not work. If the cable and
cable connections are correct, then load the USB drivers as follows.
•Go to the “AccuValve Insight” folder that
was previously downloaded and unzipped to
your computer during the install process.
Locate the file CP210x_Windows_Drivers.zip
and extract the contents.
•In the extracted folder, locate the two
executable files:
CP210xVCPInstaller_x64.exe and
CP210xVCPInstaller_x86.exe.
•Run the appropriate file depending on the operating system installed on your
computer. Use the x64.exe for 64-bit OS and x86 for 32-bit OS.
•After installing the USB driver, connect to the controller by selecting the “Locate
Accutrol USB Devices” button.
Note: It may be necessary to restart your PC after installation of the CP2120x driver for
