User Defined Fittings

Although it is recommended that the standard components supplied in the HVAC Catalog are used. There are occasions when non-standard HVAC components or user-defined fittings are required. Before you can select a user-defined fitting, the system administrator must first create the user-defined catalogue and specifications. For more information, refer to the system administrator or System Administrator’s Guide.

All HVAC Component windows are dual purpose windows allowing you to either Create a new HVAC Component element (by default), or Modify the attributes of an existing HVAC Component element.

The task of creating a User Defined Fitting is initiated from the HVAC Window.

1. Select User Defined Fittings in the Categories dropdown list, the User Defined HVAC Fittings window:

   

   The User Defined HVAC Fittings window is a dual purpose window allowing you to either Create a new User Defined HVAC Fitting (by default), or Modify a User Defined HVAC Fitting.

2. Select from the dropdown list, the fittings available in the HVAC Fittings Catalog.

   

   For the purposes of this user guide, the Specification Data including HVAC Fittings Catalog only contains the supplied catalogues provided by AVEVA. Catalogues are populated by the System Administrator.

   

3. Select an item from the choice available in the lower window. The selection is placed in the current selection window and the list of available choices moves down to the next level dependent upon what element is chosen. Continue to select from the available choices in the lower window until the fitting is complete.

4. To only select the default item for each level from the lower window, select the Default checkbox.

5. To automatically select an item when there is only one available at any level, select the Auto checkbox.

   Note: If both Default and Auto checkboxes are selected, the default item for each level and (if all levels have a default set) an overall default fitting will be selected.
