1.1 Installation Information
Important
The ARV 2000 uses single-stage regulation to control pressure in non-critical processes. The valve
compensates for house exhaust fluctuations, reduces potential for contamination, and provides quick
response, as well as being low maintenance and self-cleaning. The ARV 2000 has been manufactured
to provide pressure control in the range of 0-498.2 Pascal’s (50.8 mm H2O). The total ARV 2000 system
is comprised of the tool Interface module (TIM-100 FSP) controller, the ARV 2000 valve, and
associated interface cables. The TIM-100 FSP controls a stepper-motor driven throttling-type valve,
which regulates the pressure drop across the valve, resulting in tighter controls of airflow and pressure
at the valve input (i.e., process) pressure.
Comparison with Traditional Butterfly Valves and Double-Acting Gate Valves
The ARV 2000 differs from traditional valves in several ways. The most important feature is its linearity,
which derives from the vane configuration. As a butterfly valve or gate valve reaches its nearly closed
position, small rotational increments create large differences in the open area through the valve
resulting in large changes in the flow through the valve. As the valve opens, the flow changes less and
less with each rotational step. The ARV 2000, on the other hand, closes off the same amount of area
with each step, so the flow is reduced by the same amount at each step.
The non-linearity of the traditional valve prevents it from controlling well at the maximum and minimum
of its range. The ARV 2000, on the other hand, controls well throughout its range.
The second major difference between a butterfly valve and an ARV 2000 is Fast Set Point control
technology that creates a rapid response to set point not achievable with conventional PID control.
System compatibility
The ARV 2000 system electronics provide significant flexibility. Since the same electronics, with
minimal configuration changes entered from the keypad, can be used to control Progressive
Technologies’ automated VRV and automated SENTRY products, the pressure control technology can
be upgraded at any time with minimal effort and expense.

2.1 Guidelines
Installation Guidelines
Before beginning to design an installation layout, one should consider the following general
installation features, guidelines, and limitations.
1. The ARV 2000 can be mounted in any configuration—horizontal, vertical, with any rotation.
2. Only the process exhaust to be controlled should be plumbed to the ARV 2000. Other
sources of exhausted airflow or manifolds should not be connected prior to the ARV 2000
input.
3. If a drain is used for fluid separation, an isolation device must be used. A p-trap is an
example of one such isolation device.
4. To maintain CE certification, if applicable, the TIM-100 FSP must be installed at a height
greater than 24” (0.6 meter) above the floor.
Installation Layout
Design an installation layout and mounting strategy for the ARV, TIM-100 FSP, cables, and
grounding connections. See Appendix E.

Section 3: Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting
12755 Rev 04 Page 1of 3
3.1 Operation
Introduction
The ARV 2000 is a single stage regulator designed to control and maintain a constant pressure for
process exhaust by compensating for fluctuating exhaust conditions. It has been designed to operate
with minimal operator involvement.
Operational Theory
The ARV Auto Resistor Valve contains two sets of vanes that have been designed to align with one
another. The solid area of the input vane matches the solid area of the output vane and slightly overlaps
the open area of the output vane. If the vanes are aligned so that the solid area of the input vane
completely closes off the open area of the output vane, the valve will be in a closed position, with
minimal1airflow through it. As the input vane rotates with respect to the output vane, the combined open
area will increase linearly with the amount of rotation, maintaining concentricity about the center of the
air flow path. When the solid area of the two vanes is aligned, the valve is at its fully open position,
allowing maximum flow.
The unique geometric configuration of the ARV vanes provides an aerodynamic path for the
exhaust gas, resulting in negligible resistance across the valve in the fully open position.
A stepper motor controls the rotation of the input vane. A 0-2" (498.2 Pascal) pressure transducer inside
the valve measures the resulting pressure at the inlet of the ARV 2000.
To control pressure using the ARV 2000 requires the TIM-100 FSP. The user interfaces with the TIM-
100 FSP directly or through the tool controller to enter set points and other critical information. With
feedback from the transducer, the TIM-100 FSP commands the stepper motor through unique adaptive
fast set point software.
TIM-100 FSP Fast Set Point Control
The TIM-100 FSP includes a fast step software, which shortens the time it takes the valve to reach any
known set point. The TIM-100 FSP maintains a table for up to four operator programmable set points.
Whenever the ARV 2000 achieves one of those set points, the TIM stores the stepper motor position in
the table. After setup (see the TIM-100 FSP Manual for more information about the setup) each time the
process requires that set point, the TIM commands the ARV directly to that stepper motor position,
achieving the set point almost immediately. Once at that motor position, a standard PID loop is activated
to fine tune the system and maintain set point. Any adjustments made to the stepper motor position are
updated to the table. By updating these set point records in the table, the ARV 2000 system can be
considered an adaptive controller. The ARV 2000 will adapt to changes in the process exhaust line, and
to changes in the facility exhaust pressure while maintaining fast transitions from one set point to the
next.
Auxiliary Sense Ports
The ARV 2000 has two pressure test ports, one each on the inlet and outlet of the valve. The ARV 2000
is shipped with these ports plugged with screws. To use them, remove the screw, insert a barbed fitting
into the hole, and run 1/8" ID tubing from the fitting to an auxiliary transducer.
1For typical ARV applications, the flow is essentially zero through the closed vanes.

3.2 Maintenance
Scheduled Maintenance
Except for the preventative maintenance cleaning noted below, there is no scheduled maintenance for
either the ARV 2000 or the TIM-100 FSP. The innovative and simple design of the ARV 2000 system
allows for years of dependable operation with minimal maintenance required.
Preventative Maintenance (PM)
Inspection & Cleaning Schedules
All process environments and production usage vary greatly from site to site. Therefore, PTI recommends
checking the ARV 2000 transducer inlet for foreign material after eight weeks and adjusting the cleaning
frequency as necessary, based on this inspection. If particles or foreign matter appear to be interfering
with proper operation of the ARV 2000 system, follow the preventative maintenance cleaning procedure
described below.
Preventative Maintenance (PM) Cleaning Procedure
Tools Required
1. Vacuum cleaner
2. clean room wipes
3. Alcohol, solvent, or water
Procedure
1. Remove the ARV 2000 from the exhaust line.
2. Vacuum first the interior and exterior of the ARV 2000.
3. Clean exterior surfaces with a clean room wipe moistened with water (use of alcohol or solvent on the
exterior labels and painted surfaces is not recommended).
4. Clean interior flow surfaces with a clean room wipe and either alcohol , solvent, or water.
