INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR

OMEGA®PRESSURE VOLUME CONTROLLERS,

MODELS AVC-1000 AND AVC-3000

INSTALLATION (see figure)

Step 1 –

Install a valve to the vent port on the pres­sure balance valve assembly.

Step 2 –

Install a valve to the inlet port on the pres­sure balance valve assembly.

Step 3 –

Install a tee fitting to the rear of the
AVC unit.

Step 4 –

Connect a pressure standard, for example a
dial gauge or digital indicator to one side of
the tee. To the other side
of the tee connect the device to be
calibrated or tested.

NOTE (Installation) –

All plumbing connections are made to

1

⁄8NPTF ports.

OPERATION

Step 1 –

Open the pressure balance valve.

Step 2 –

Open the vent valve.

Step 3 –

Turn the control knob to approximately
midrange. This will allow for increase and
decrease of system pressure. Alternatively,
the starting position of the knob may be at
the counterclockwise
or clockwise stop. This will allow for maxi­mum pressure increase (knob at the coun­terclockwise stop) or maximum pressure
decrease (knob at clockwise stop).

Step 4 –

Close the vent valve.

Step 5 –

Open the inlet valve to provide pressure to
approximately the desired pressure level.

Step 6 –

When the appropriate pressure has been
achieved, close the inlet valve.

Step 7 –

Close pressure balance valve.

Step 8 –

Turn control knob clockwise to increase sys­tem pressure or counterclockwise to
decrease system pressure.

NOTE (Operation) –

During operation the pressure balance
valve will automatically open if the pres­sure across the piston exceeds safe levels.
This is factory set at a nominal pressure dif­ferential of 150 psi.
