Minimum and Maximum Airflow Settings

REFER TO THE CONTROLS MANUAL CM-1 FOR THE PROPER FIELD ADJUSTMENT
OF THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM AIRFLOW SETTINGS ON TERMINALS PROVIDED
WITH PRESSURE INDEPENDENT CONTROLS.

Some adjusting tips:

1. Allow sufficient time for the controller to respond to adjustments.

2. Cycling of the thermostat to check maximum and minimum airflow settings is often

required.

3. On units with pneumatic controls, do not turn the adjustment knobs excessively.

Example: Determine the airflow sensor signal of a 6” unit at 500 CFM located
at an elevation of 5000 ft., for a 3000 series pneumatic controller.

To use the correction factor:
Correction factor X CFM at unit location = .86 x 500 = 430 CFM

Referencing the 6” flow curve, shown on page 10, find 430 CFM @ .80” w.c.
sensor signal pressure. The velocity controller set at .80” signal pressure will
result in 500 CFM at 5000 ft. elevation.

Notes:
1. Minimum and maximum airflow with pressure independent controls based on the

following
flow sensor signals:

Model 51 Controller - 1 VDC – 10 VDC
Model 31 Controller - 0.03” w.g. – 1.0” w.g.
Models 23, 24 Controllers - 0.04” w.g. – 1.0” w.g.

2. Settings below the minimum are not recommended for accurate control when using

pressure independent controls. Minimum airflow for pressure dependent applications is
0 cfm.

3. Pressure independent controls may be set for 0 CFM, at or above the minimum airflow

shown in table 4, but not between.

4. Model 23 controller available as direct acting for normally open or model 24 controller

available as reverse acting for normally closed damper positions. Factory set non-field
adjustable start point and reset span.

5. Model 31 controller can be used either as direct or reverse acting for normally open or

normally closed damper positions. Field adjustable start point and reset span.

6. Models 23, 24, 31 controllers equipped with separate adjustable knobs for maximum

and minimum airflow settings.

7. Model 51 electronic analog controller maximum and minimum airflow settings field

adjustable at the thermostat.
