The Series DCV/RDCV Diaphragm Valves are ideal for use with the Series DCT1000
and Series DCT500 duct collection timer boards. Both the Series DCV and RDCV
have the option for either coupling or NPT connections. The coupling connection
allows for a quick and simple installation. Only the stub pipe and blowtube need to
be cleaned and deburred before the valve is t into position. The “T” Series DCV has
female threaded connections. Both the “C” and “T” versions have a 90° angle between
the inlet and outlet the most suitable conguration for pulse valve applications. The
design offers not only ease of installation, but also minimal airow restriction for an
exceptional cleaning pulse. The valves are offered in both integrated and remote coil
congurations.

OPERATION
WARNING
may change position if power fails or is removed. Never insert any object or body part
into the valve body. Severe injury may occur.
Series DCV includes an integral solenoid and Series RDCV needs to be used with a
remote pilot solenoid valve. Both are normally closed valves. When the remote pilot
solenoid valve or integral solenoid opens, pressure is released (exhausted) from the
top of the diaphragm in the pulse valve. This allows the line pressure on the bottom
of the diaphragm to push the diaphragm up and open the main orice of the pulse
valve. When the solenoid then closes the pressure on the bottom and the top of the
diaphragm equalize closing the main orice of the pulse valve.
WARNING
been closed. Turn power on and increase pressure only after installation is complete.
LOCATION
Select a location that will not exceed the ambient temperature specications of
the valve. The system must be located in an enclosure that meets relevant safety
standards and electrical codes of the environment.
MOUNTING
The DCV/RDCV can be mounted in any position. For optimum life and performance it
is recommended that the unit be mounted vertically and upright to reduce the chance
of foreign matter accumulating in the valve. For DCV in weatherproof applications it is
recommended that the cable gland be positioned face down to avoid possible rainfall
or water from entry.
PROCESS CONNECTIONS
For DCV/RDCV with coupling connections:
1. Connect piping so that pneumatic input is the bottom connection and the outlet is
the side connection at 90°.
2. Stub pipe (blow tube) must be free of burrs, rust, oil, and other debris.
3. Disassemble compression ttings and place the retaining nut, retainer, and gasket
onto the piping. Make sure that the beveled edge of the gasket faces the valve
body.
4. Connect ttings to the valve body. Make sure that the pipe is inline with the valve
ports. Nut and seals are for connection only and should not be used for support
purposes.
Notes:
• Make sure pipes are anchored securely to avoid separation from the valve.
• Do not use the valve for leverage when connecting piping.
• Do not over-tighten retaining nut or valve damage may result. Tighten retaining
nuts just sufciently for sealing to prevent leakage. This is a gasket seal and does
not require excessive turning of the nut.
When working on the Actuator/Valve assembly, disconnect the air
or power supply to the actuator. Spring return actuators/valves
Before installation make sure all air pressure has been released,
electric power has been turned off, and air pressure source has
Wiring the DCV with DIN connector
1. Remove center screw and pull connector cover from the body.
2. Remove gasket and place small screwdriver in slot to pry out the terminal block
from the cover.
3. Thread wire through the gland nut, gland gasket, washer and connector cover.
4. Connect wires to proper terminals on the terminal block.
5. Snap terminal block back into the cover. The connector cover may be rotated in 90°
increments to position the cable entry as needed for the application. Reinstall the
center screw and screw back into the solenoid body.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
and vent uid to a safe area before servicing.
The DCV/RDCV should be cleaned periodically. The amount of time between cleanings
depends on the application. Preventive Maintenance includes keeping media clean of
material and oil free, and periodic testing to ensure proper operation and to look for
wear or damage. Replacement diaphragm assemblies are available from the factory.
Solenoid Valve Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Action Required
No pulse • No supply air
Leakage in outlet
port
Low pulse • Low air pressure • Check air supply pressure
Shaking noise • Valve screws are loose • Tighten the loose screws
Solenoid noise • Solenoid mounting screws
WARRANTY
The Series DCV/RDCV is not eld serviceable and should be returned if repair is
needed (eld repair should not be attempted an may void warranty). Be sure to
include a brief description of the problem plus any relevant application notes. Contact
customer service to receive a return goods authorization number before shipping.
To prevent the possibility of death, serious injury or property
damage, turn off electrical power, depressurize system and unit,
• Check whether the air

• Check the pressure of the

• Check supply voltage
• Send back for evaluation
• Check the pipe connections
between the inlet and outlet
• Verify that the air supply

• Tighten the loose screws
For DCV/RDCV with NPT connections:
1. Connect piping so that pneumatic input is the bottom connection and the outlet is
the side connection at 90°.
2. Stub pipe (blow tube) must be free of burrs, rust, oil, and other debris.
3. Thread piping into the valve body. Make sure that the pipe is inline with the valve
ports. If using tape or pipe compound, apply to the male piping threads and use
sparingly as it may come loose and affect valve operation. Do not apply tape or
pipe compound directly to the female valve body threads.
Notes:
• Make sure pipes are anchored securely.
• Do not use the valve for leverage when connecting piping.
Pressure Connection from Remote Pilot Solenoid Valve (For RDCV units):
The RSV, remote pilot solenoid valve, should be mounted as close as possible to the
RDCV pulse valve. The maximum distance is 9.8 ft (3 m). Tubing from the remote
solenoid valve is connected to the exhaust port on the top of the RDCV pulse valve.
If using tape or pipe compound, apply to the male piping threads and use sparingly
as it may come loose and affect valve operation. Do not apply tape or pipe compound
directly to the female valve body threads.
Wiring Connections (For DCV units):
Wire in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations. To aid in
wiring the solenoid on the DCV may be rotated 360°. It is recommended to use 18
AWG copper wire rated at 90°C or greater.
