3.3. Wired/Wireless intelligent motorized round damper (AZZBS [06-08-10] [W/R]) 3.3.1. Installation Follow the local recommendations to insulate and seal the ductwork with the damper. Keep the motor outside of the insulation.

3.3.2. Damper setting The motorized dampers included a control system that allows you to manually set the maximum and minimum opening of each damper. Maximum opening (REG) The Motorized damper offers maximum aperture adjustment which balances the airflow of each damper to the real needs of the installation. By default, the dampers are configured with a maximum opening at Position I. To adjust the control of the dampers proceed as follows:

The damper must be completely closed to mechanically adjust its flow. To make this adjustment create demand in all zones, so that the indoor unit runs at maximum capacity. Then deactivate the zone to be adjusted, and verify that there is no air supplied to that zone.

With the damper closed, place the lever marked REG in the actuator to the desired open position. There are 4 position - I, II, III, and IV, with position I being completely open and position IV having the slightest opening.

Using an anemometer verify that the flow in each grille is within the installation requirements.

Minimum Air (A-M) Similarly, the motorized damper allows a minimum air opening, if needed. By default, the “a” damper is configured in the full-close position. To adjust minimum air for any damper, proceed as follows:

Check that the dampers are completely opened to set the minimum air. To do so, set the system to STOP mode, from the Blueface main thermostat.

With the damper opened, place the handle A-M in the desired open position. It has 4 positions - a, b, c, d-, where "a" is fully closed and is "d" is the fully open for minimum air.

Check with an anemometer that the flow in each grille is within the installation requirements.
