Installation
Commissioning must be carried out in accordance with these instructions by designated, qualified and competent
personnel.
Electrical
Digital-Flo requires electrical power to be supplied to the DRV80 and the Hot Water shut off valve. DRV80
is suitably rated (US NEMA 5) 12V DC electrical device which is supplied with a “smart” transformer capable of
receiving 110V or 220V service. The electrical cable from the DRV80 transformer terminates in a two pronged
plug suitable for insertion into a typical receptacle/outlet. A fused set of circuit blocks is provided in an enclosure
to power the safety solenoid valve.
Digital-Flo requires a secondary side circulating pump which is not supplied as standard by Armstrong.
If the Digital-Flo low surface temperature option is selected an optional Sauter valve will need to be powered/
wired.
A licensed electrician familiar with local code requirements should be engaged to install an outlet(s) with suitable
amperage and circuit protection to power both the DRV80 and the safety solenoid valve.
Installation
1. Before any installation or maintenance procedure, always ensure that all primary steam and condensate
return lines and secondary water lines are isolated.
2. Ensure any residual internal pressure in the system or connecting pipework is carefully relieved.
3. Allow hot parts to cool before commencing work, to avoid the risk of burns.
4. Always wear appropriate safety clothing before carrying out any installation or maintenance work.
5. Place Digital-Flo in its desired location ensuring that there is adequate space left for service and maintenance
access. Secure stand to floor if necessary.
6. Connect an appropriately sized inlet steam supply pipe to the inlet of the heat exchanger shell. Note: The
steam supply must be controlled such that the maximum operating conditions are not exceeded (see page
10). A pressure reducing valve should be used to achieve these conditions where necessary. In addition
where the steam pressure might exceed the maximum rating of Digital-Flo a suitably sized safety relief valve
should be fitted to the incoming steam supply.
7. Connect the condensate return to the integral steam trap outlet (tagged accordingly).
Note: Satisfactory condensate removal is important to achieving optimum heater performance. As such an
integral steam trap is supplied. Under certain conditions, constant pressure steam installations aid condensate
removal prior to system stall point without the requirement for ancillary equipment.
Constant pressure steam systems which require condensate lift in excess of the inlet pressure available and low
surface temperature models will require the use of a mechanical or electric pumping trap.
Note: Digital-Flo is supplied with an enable/disable high temperature limit protection for the secondary circuit.
8. Connect inlet cold water supply (tagged accordingly).
9. Connect outlet (to system) (tagged accordingly).
10. Connect recirculation return pipework (tagged accordingly).
Note: A system side recirculation pump must be maintained at all times installed on the inlet to the unit.
Note: Balance valves should be fitted to all circuits per generally accepted piping practices.
10
Commissioning Digital-Flo
personnel.
1. Check all plumbing, piping and electrical connections to ensure the installation meets specification and
generally accepted trade practices.
2. Ensure that the inlet steam supply valve to Digital-Flo is closed.
3. Ensure that all mixed water outlets on the system are closed.
4. Open condensate drain valve.
5. Vent air from system.
6. Flood the system by opening the appropriate isolation valves.
7. Turn the power to the DRV80 and the hot water outlet safety solenoid valve ON.
tNote: Hot Water safety solenoid is controlled by a relay output on DRV80. Relay will open the normally closed
solenoid valve AFTER it has gone through it full start up sequence providing no errors or faults are present.
8. Start re-circulating pump.
9. Check for water circulation through Digital-Flo.
Note: DRV80 is supplied factory preset to system temperature based upon information previously supplied to
Armstrong.
Note: DRV80 is factory preset with a high limit default 18°F/10°C above DRV80 set point. To adjust DRV80 set
point, high limit default or to enable/disable other integral valve features refer to pages 25-27.
10. Slowly open the inlet steam supply valve to Digital-Flo.
11. Adjust Steam Pressure Reducing Valve (if installed)
12. Check the LED display on the DRV80. The display will indicate the secondary side delivery temperature and
the system setpoint.
Note: At system start up the display on the DRV80 may read a “temp low”.

Adjusting Temperature
Important: The DRV80 is supplied to the job site preprogrammed to an outlet temperature set point specified to
Armstrong at the time the order was placed. In addition, Armstrong has enabled two levels of “out of temperature
range” alerts. The alert presets can be adjusted by using the control software.
Out of Temperature Range Alert Level 1 preset: +/- 5°F from set point = DRV80 will display “Temp High” or “Temp
Low” only.
Out of Temperature Range Alert Level 2 preset: +/- 10°F from set point = DRV80 will display “Error Temp” and
shut off inlet hot water supply.
The following example shows how the above settings affect the DRV80’s operation:
Note! The “Setpoint” value does not need to be the same as the “Default” value. Both “Setpoint” and
“Default” are adjustable within the “Max.” and “Min.” range only.
Important! The software will not allow an “Error Temp.” value to be set lower than the “Max.” value plus the
“Above” value.
There are three options for on site temperature adjustment:

1. Temperature Adjustment using a Laptop Computer with software and a USB port adapter (supplied with
valve).
2. Temperature Adjustment using a Building Automation System (BAS) or local area computer network (LAN)
with a direct 12 to 30vdc, 4-20mA connection to the DRV80. This is termed “Remote Setpoint Adjustment”.
3. Temperature Adjustment using a Web Browser via the integral serial port and BrainScan™ supplied by
Armstrong.*
* This option is detailed in a separate Installation, Operation and Maintenance (IOM) Guide for BrainScan™.
Available by contacting Armstrong technical support.

this option is changed.
Important Note: This function will only work with DRV80
version 9 and onwards. This can be found under “Valve
Information” on the “DRV80 Control Screen”.
The “Offset” enables the system to correct for temperature

loss and mixing conditions by creating a temperature offset
to the valve. The offset temperature is subtracted from the
setpoint temperature, this allows the valve to produce water
at the correct temperature at the required point in the circuit.
The offset is limited to ± 9°F (± 5°C). The “Write” button
must be pressed after this option is changed.
Important Note: This function will only work with DRV80
Version 9 and onwards. This can be found under “Valve

Note! After changing the temperature display units or the
setpoint source, the valve must be unplugged (powered off/
on electrically) to complete the change. Press “Read” to
confirm the settings.
The “Disinfection Timeout” is the maximum number of

minutes the temperature error messages are disabled to
allow for disinfection and cool down before automatically
switching back to normal operation. The “Disinfection
Enable” box must be checked before the disinfection mode
can be armed and triggered.
Caution! All temperature error messages could remain

disabled after disinfection has been completed. During
“Disinfection Timeout”, the temperature within the blend
circuit is not thermostatically controlled until the “Cool
Down” button is pressed.
17
Disinfection
Switch “Online” to perform “Disinfection Cycle”.
The disinfection mode must first be enabled under

“Options” before it can be armed and triggered. Due to
the scalding temperature, the disinfection process must

(Valve does not have to be “Offline”.)
3. Alter the Setpoint back to the “Default” value by

pressing “Reset to Default”.
4. The Setpoint value is shown on the DRV80.
Setpoint - Explained
The setpoint is the required outlet water temperature supplied to the blend circuit. This area controls the range in
which the setpoint can be adjusted to, but not the current setpoint itself (valve display). The Default value is the
setpoint the valve will return to should the power be lost and the DRV80 reset. The “Default” is adjustable, but
cannot be more than the “Max.” (maximum) value or less than the “Min.” (minimum) value.
21
Alarms - Explained
The DRV80 does not contain an audible alarm, however, the error relay may be used to send an alarm signal from
the DRV80 if the blend temperature falls outside either the “Above” or “Below” tolerance values of the setpoint. If
the blend temperature exceeds the “Error Temp.” value, the DRV80 activates the error relay and closes down to
full cold. For more details on the error relay connection see section “DRV80 using Building Automation System
(BAS)” in the Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Example 1:
Note! The “Setpoint” value does not need to be the same as the “Default” value. Both “Setpoint” and “Default”
are adjustable within the “Max.” and “Min.” range only.
22
Example 2:
Important! The software will not allow an “Error Temp.” value to be set lower than the “Max.” value plus the
“Above” value.
23
Temperatures
The current inlet and outlet temperatures are displayed.

The setpoint is the current blend temperature the DRV80
is instructed to control to. Pressing “Reset to Default” will
alter to match the “Default” value in the “Setpoints” area.

DRV80 using Building Automation System (BAS)
DRV80 contains three integral connection points for component/system integration.
1. Building Automation System
The DRV80 can be adjusted remotely when linked via its integral 12 to 30vdc, 4-20mA connection to a Building
Automation System (BAS) or Local Area Computer Network (LAN).
Two signal connections can be made via a 3/8” Liquitight connector conduit fitting.
The connections are:

Remote Setpoint Adjustment. The ability to change the setpoint on the DRV80 via a Building Automation System
(BAS) or Local Area Computer Network (LAN). This is an opto-isolated input intended for connection to a 12 to
30vdc, 4-20mA self powered transmitter with a maximum output of 12V. The connection is used to determine the
DRV80’s setpoint and is scaled at 4-20 mA for 0 - 100°C. The input signal is only active when the DRV80 is con-
figured to “Ext. 4-20 mA”. These settings can only be altered when the DRV80 is switched to its “Offline” state.
Actual Outlet Temperature Reading. The ability to link the computer signal from the DRV80 outlet temperature
thermistor to a Building Automation System (BAS) or Local Area Computer Network (LAN).
This is an opto-isolated signal intended for connection to a 4-20 mA self powered indicator with a maximum out-
put of 12V. The signal sends the DRV80’s outlet temperature and is scaled at 4-20 mA for 1 - 100°C.
2. Error Relay Connection

The DRV80 can be connected to a downstream audible alarm, a solenoid valve or another ancillary device via a
direct connection to its error relay via a liquitight connector conduit fitting.
This provides a connection to a set of single pole changeover relay contacts fused at 2 Amps. When the DRV80
is operating normally, the relay is energized and therefore the contacts are closed. The relay is de-energized and
the contacts are open under the following circumstances:
1. Power failure.
2. Start up sequence.
3. Outlet temperature causing an alarm signal.
4. Outlet temperature causing an error signal.
5. Internal fault on PCB.
6. Battery failure.
7. Thermistor failure.
3. Serial Line Connection*

The DRV80 provides an RS485 serial interface for connection to BrainScan™.
Note: BrainScan™ is not specifically addressed by this Installation Manual.
* Serial Line Connection is detailed in a separate Installation, Operation and Maintenance (IOM) Guide for Brain-
Scan™. Available by contacting Armstrong technical support.

Set Multimeters to mA dc current range.
Fault Diagnosis for BAS
Possible causes for BAS indicating an incorrect flow value:
• BAS analog input terminals resistance is too high causing current to be limited to
the analog input giving a lower reading than expected on the BAS display.
• BAS signal scaling is incorrect. Consult BAS engineer.

Operation
Digital-Flo™ employs digital technology to monitor inlet hot supply, inlet cold/system return water temperature.
In constant pressure steam supply systems this eliminates the requirement for a steam control valve.
Digital-Flo is supplied pre-piped and pressure tested with an integral digital re-circulating valve (The Brain – Model
DRV80).
Inlet (2) and outlet (2) thermistors integral to The Brain and the time proven water temperature control accuracy
eliminate the requirement for the external temperature sensors, programmers and controllers typically associated
with steam heat exchangers.
A low surface temperature option is available which requires a secondary controller for applications where higher
mineral content water portends a scaling concern.
33
Maintenance - Plate & Frame Heat Exchanger Module
A separate IOM is available for specific Plate & Frame Module supplied with your Digital-Flo™ Model
Note serial number on PHE and refer to IOM guide for specific PHE module supplied with heater.
Please call Armstrong Technical Support at 1-888-HOT-HOSE.
Performance: Check temperatures and flow rates against commissioning data.
Plate Pack: Check tightening dimension and look for signs of leakage.
Nozzles: Check in general condition, and for signs of leakage.
Frame: Wipe clean all painted parts and check surfaces for signs of damage - “touch up” if required.
Bolts & Bars: Check for ruse, and clean. Lightly coat threaded parts with molybdenum grease, or a corrosion
inhibitor (ensure that not grease etc falls onto the plate gaskets).
Gaskets: Check and replace when required.
Rollers: If fitted to the follower frame plate, lubricate bearings with light machine oil.
Spare Parts: Note serial number on PHE and refer to IOM guide for specific PHE module supplied with heater.
34
Maintenance - Digital Re-Circulating Valve
Time Interval: Minimum once per year.
Performance: Check temperatures and flow rates against commissioning data.
Batteries: Batteries are supplied to ensure the valve switches to a “Safe Mode” in the event of a primary power
supply failure.
Battery life is variable depending on usage. A battery error message appears on the valve display when they
require changing.
Where primary power supply failure occurs regularly or the valve is installed within a supply system where safety
is critical, the batteries MUST be changed at least every 12 months as part of an annual maintenance routine.
In noncritical systems or where battery usage is low, longer replacement cycles may be considered up to a
maximum of five (5) years.

down position.
c. Ensure the high temperature trip setting in the DRV80 is set at least 10°C higher
than the desired hot water temperature.
d. Check steam trap isolation valves are open.
e. Check that the condensate temperature after the steam trap is at steam
temperature. If not, the steam trap may be blocked or the back pressure in the
condensate line may be too high. Disconnect the pipework after the steam traps,
running the condensate to drain, and see if the hot water comes up to
temperature. If not, investigate potential problems on the condensate system or
install a pump trap to overcome the higher back pressure. It no condensate exits
the steam trap, disassemble and check for blockage.
f. If the “Low Surface Temperature” option is fitted ensure the set point in the
Econotrol panel (normally 90°C) is set higher than the hot water temperature set
point on the DRV80. Please consult the LST/Econotrol IOM.
2. Secondary Side system fault. a. Check that the Secondary Side re-circulation line is hot. If it cool, then the non
