Powers MM430 2 Valve HiLo - Manual (Page 2)

Set Up Procedure
n
You must follow these procedures in order to properly adjust your Hi/
Lo System. You need flow greater than the minimum shown in capac-
ity table across the valve in order to set a maximum temperature.
1. Close the low flow valve on the outlet of the low flow valve.
2. Open the ball valve at the discharge of the high flow valve.
3. Open enough fixtures to meet the minimum flow requirement as
per capacity table.
4. Set valve temperature. Refer to IS-P-LFMM430.
5. Set the PRV as follows for a 15psi differential.
a) Loosen the locknut at the top of the PRV. This must be all the
way out or you will be limiting the range of the adjustment. b)
Adjust the PRV so the outlet pressure gauge (top) reads 15psi
less than the supply pressure gauge (bottom). Turning the
adjustment screw counterclockwise will increase the differential
across the PRV (allowing the PRV to open later).
6. Close the ball valve at the discharge of the high flow valve and
open the low flow side ball valve by rotating the handle fully
counterclockwise.
7. Open enough fixtures to meet the minimum flow requirement as
per capacity table.
8. Set the temperature for the low flow valve. Refer to
IS-P-LFLM490-LFLM490-10.
9. Open the ball valve at the discharge of high flow valve.
10. Open additional fixtures to create a 20psi differential between
supply and outlet pressure gauges.
11. When water is at desired outlet temperature, verify temperature
remains at set point.

CW: Increases outlet pressure and
decreases differential across PRV or
CCW: Decreases outlet pressure and
increases differential across PRV.

12. Gradually start to close fixtures to verify that the temperature
remains constant through the full range of flow.
13. For any problem, refer to Troubleshooting section of the docu-
ment or contact Powers' Technical Support Department at
1.800.669.5430 or [email protected].
1. Flush all piping thoroughly before installing.
2. Make sure all ball valve handles are in "OFF" position.
3. In order to make any temperature adjustment to the valves,
you must open end-of-line fixtures to ensure you have ade-
quate flow across the valve.

4. Use a thermometer at the showerhead or install an in-line
thermometer at the point-of-use.
