H1 COMMUNICATION SET-UP
CAUTION
Parameters are pre-set at the manufacturer.
Step 1
Connect Industrial Ethernet cable between actuator and DHCP
server or DHCP router
Step 2
Launch flash enable internet web browser.
Step 3
Type in web address found on actuator.
Step 4
Follow set-up procedures.
NOTE
DHCP “Dynamic Hosting Configuration Protocol” is a method that automatically
assigns IP addresses to devices connected to a network without manually
configuring everything connected to a computer or server. Due to the wide variety of
computers, networks, servers, routers and operating systems, a “DHCP” device is
highly recommended for a quick and easy set-up. The “DHCP” device is either a
server or router depending upon the end users network configurations.
If an end user is manually configuring their network, they should contact their IT
department.

Caution
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
CAUTION
IMPROPER INSTALLATION AND START-UP MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
IMPORTANT
This is especially important for valves configured to flow less than 5 lph

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.
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.
PROCEED with CAUTION
This is very important, especially at high system pressures to prevent potential
damage to seals and other internal components 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.

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.
