Analog Global Dual Valve Mode
Valve 1 size:
One Valve/Pump fl ow size ratio may be a different size from the 
other. Example: An 6 inch pipe verse a 8 inch pipe—the total fl ow 
rate ratio would be 25% for valve 1 and 75% for valve 2. Both of 
the Valve sizes must add up to be 100%.
NOTE:
Valve 1 should always be the smaller of the 2 valves.
Valve 2 size:
One Valve/Pump fl ow size ratio may be different size from the 
other. Example: An 6 inch pipe verse a 8 inch pipe—the total fl ow 
rate ratio would be 25% for valve 1 and 75% for valve 2. Both of 
the Valve sizes must add up to be 100%.
NOTE:
Valve 1 should always be the smaller of the 2 valves.
Valve 1 proof of fl ow from:
This fi eld must have a valid WCC III binary input value and is 
used as a feedback mechanism to ensure that the valve/pump has 
actually turned on and is working properly. The proof of fl ow is 
checked when the valve opening is greater than 10.0%. There is a 
2 minute proof of fl ow delay, if after 2 minutes there is no proof of 
fl ow (and Valve 1 is open more than 10.0%), valve 1 will open to 
50.0% and valve 2 will modulate. If the proof of fl ow is fi xed and 
re-detected, the valve will return to normal operation.
Valve 2 proof of fl ow from:
This fi eld must have a valid WCC III binary input value and is 
used as a feedback mechanism to ensure that the valve/pump has 
actually turned on and is working properly. The proof of fl ow is 
checked when the valve opening is greater than 10.0%. There is a 
2 minute proof of fl ow delay, if after 2 minutes there is no proof of 
fl ow (and Valve 2 is open more than 10.0%), valve 2 will open to 
50.0% and valve 1 will modulate. If the proof of fl ow is fi xed and 
re-detected, the valve will return to normal operation.
Current State:
This fi eld displays the current state of the Dual Valves, and will be 
listed as Modulate Valve 1, Modulate Valve 2, V1 Open - Modulate 
V2, V1 Fail - Modulate V2, or V2 Fail - Modulate V1.
Modulate Valve 1, Valve 1 is modulating and Valve 2 is closed.
Modulate Valve 2, Valve 2 is modulating and Valve 1 is closed.
V1 Open – Modulate Valve 2, Valve 1 is fully open and Valve 2 is 
modulating.
V1 Fail – Modulate Valve 2, the proof of fl ow from Valve 1 has 
failed so Valve 1 opens to 50.0% and Valve 2 modulates.
V2 Fail – Modulate Valve 1, the proof of fl ow from Valve 2 has 
failed so Valve 2 opens to 50.0% and Valve 1 modulates.
Confi guration:
This fi eld displays the current condition of this global, it displays 
whether it is set up correctly or not. It will display either Normal, 
Next GA non-extern, Bad V2 Dn Threshold, BadV12 Dn 
Threshold, or Bad Valve Size.
Normal – Everything is basically set up OK.
Bad V2 Dn Threshold – the control input percentage for Valve 2 
to close is greater than the control input percentage for Valve 2 to 
open. The percentage for Valve 2 to open should be more than the 
percentage for Valve 2 to close.
Bad V12 Dn Threshold – the control input percentage for Valve 
1 to close and Valve 2 to continue to modulate is greater than 
the control input percentage for Valve 1 to open and Valve 2 to 
continue to modulate. The percentage for Valve 1 to close and 
Valve 2 to continue to modulate should be less than the percentage 
for Valve 1 to open and Valve 2 to continue to modulate.
Bad Valve Size – Valve 2 size is greater than Valve 1. One Valve/
Pump fl ow size ratio may be a different size from the other. 
Example: An 6 inch pipe verse a 8 inch pipe—the total fl ow rate 
ratio would be 25% for valve 1 and 75% for valve 2. Both of the 
Valve sizes must add up to be 100%. Valve 1 should always be the 
smaller of the 2 valves.
Next GA non-extern – this means the next global analog is not 
EXTERNAL mode. The Dual Valve mode has two outputs. The 
next global analog has to be set to EXTERNAL mode for this 
mode to run.
Modulation starts with Valve 1.
During Valve 1 modulation,
If the control input exceeds _____ % for more
than stage time, Valve 1 will close and Valve
2 will modulate.
This user input is a percentage, 0 – 100, for if the control input rises 
above this value for longer than the amount of stage time, then 
Valve 1 will close and Valve 2 will start modulating.
