B. Prior to CxA verification, the Control Contractor shall be responsible for complete input/output checkout quality assurance.

1. Sensor and Actuator Calibration, General:

a. Instrument calibration shall be performed by the Control Contractor. “Factory calibration” or “calibration by exception” is not acceptable.

b. All field-installed temperature, relative humidity, CO, CO2 and pressure sensors and gages, and all actuators (dampers and valves) on all equipment shall be calibrated by the Contractor using the methods described below.

Alternate methods may be used, if approved by the Contracting Officer beforehand. All test instruments shall have had a certified calibration within the last 12 months. Sensors installed in the unit at the factory with calibration certification provided need not be field calibrated.

b. Sensors without Transmitters. Make a reading with a calibrated test instrument within 6 inches of the site sensor. Verify that the sensor is within the specified tolerances. If not, install offset in BAS, calibrate or replace sensor.

c. Sensors with Transmitters. Connect a signal generator.

Adjust transmitter zero and span to match the signal generator until the ammeter reads 4 mA. Make a reading with a calibrated test instrument within 6 inches of the site sensor. Verify that the sensor reading is within the specified tolerances. If not, replace sensor and repeat.

d. Sensor Tolerances. The following are the tolerances of the actual sensors in the system. Unless noted differently on the CxA test procedure, use the following:

1) Temperature (space or room): +/- 1.0 degF.

2) Temperature (duct): +/- 0.5 degF.

3) Pressure (duct static): +/- 0.05 in. w.c.

4) Pressure (other): +/- 5.0 pct of reading.

5) Flow rates for air: +/- 5.0 pct of reading.

6) Flow rates for water: +/- 5.0 pct of reading.

8) Oxygen or CO2 monitor: +/- 1.0 pct of span.

e. Valve and Damper Stroke Setup and Check

1) For all valve and damper actuator positions checked, verify the actual position against the EMS readout.

2) Set pumps or fans to normal operating mode (If the system could be affected by this, then shut down the system). Command valve or damper closed, visually verify that valve or damper is closed and adjust output zero signal as required. Command valve or damper open, verify position is full open and adjust output signal as required. Command valve or damper to a few intermediate

01 82 00-8 positions. If actual valve or damper position doesn’t reasonably correspond, replace actuator.

3) Closure for normally closed valves and dampers (spring-loaded only). Disconnect power to the actuator motor, and verify the valve or damper moves to full closed position. If not spring-loaded, conduct verification by disconnecting the signal wire. Restore to normal.

4) Closure for normally open valves and dampers (spring-loaded only). Disconnect power to the actuator motor, and verify the valve or damper moves to full open position. If not spring-loaded, conduct verification by disconnecting the signal wire. Restore to normal.
