Halton ABD, MBD Exhaust Volume Dampers Operators Manual

The ABD and MBD are exhaust volume dampers designed for use in commercial kitchens. They are used to control the amount of air that is exhausted from the kitchen, helping to maintain proper ventilation and prevent the buildup of grease and smoke. The ABD is an automatic damper that is controlled by a damper controller, while the MBD is a manual damper that can be adjusted by hand. Both dampers are equipped with a 1” flange around the perimeter, allowing them to be easily installed on the exhaust collar of a kitchen hood or in the ductwork. The ABD also features a Duct Safety and Monitoring System (KGS) that monitors the grease deposition levels in all monitored ductwork. This system sends an alarm to the operator when the level of grease exceeds the set point threshold, alerting them that the ductwork needs to be cleaned.

Frequently asked questions

The ABD and MBD can be installed either vertically or horizontally. You'll want to match up the 1” flanges on the dampers with the matching flanges on the exhaust collar of the kitchen hood or the exhaust ductwork. The flanges should be continuously welded together. Ensure that the vanes are pointing towards the exhaust fan for proper installation. Refer to Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 in the manual for proper installation procedures.

To adjust the MBD, first remove the cover over the adjustment mechanism. Then loosen the ¼”-20 lock nut counterclockwise using a 7/16” wrench. Now you can adjust the vane linkages. Adjust the vanes to achieve the hood’s specified static pressure as measured at the exhaust plenum Testing And Balancing (T.A.B.) port. Once you've achieved the desired setting, tighten the ¼”-20 lock nut against the adjustment slot.

The KGS system should only be cleaned when the entire duct system is cleaned. Always inspect each grease sensor and insure the reflective surface and lens are clean. The system will send an alarm to the operator when the level of grease exceeds the set point threshold, alerting them that the ductwork needs to be cleaned.

To replace the actuator on the ABD, follow the steps outlined in the manual’s Actuator Removal/Replacement section. These steps include disconnecting the power to the actuator, removing the actuator cover, removing the U-bolt that attaches the actuator to the balancing damper shaft, replacing the actuator with a new one, and reconnecting the wires. Finally, calibrate the actuator by pressing the Reset button.

To replace the temperature sensor, you'll need to disconnect it from the terminal block located in the M.A.R.V.E.L. Control Panel. Then, unscrew the tightening collar on the Evergreen fitting which holds the temperature sensor. Remove the temperature probe and replace it with a new temperature sensor. Finally, reconnect the wiring.
