Elkhart Brass UBEC 2 User Manual

Using a UBEC2 to control an E4F or E6F actuated valve

Refer to Unibody valve installation and instruction manual p/n 99311000.

The manual can be found online at www.elkhartbrass.com

When using a UBEC2 controller to operate an E4F or E6F actuated valve the UBEC2
must be programmed as a secondary and use a secondary harness for CAN
communication with the E4F or E6F actuated valve. Part number 08899163 includes a
UBEC2 controller, a secondary (CAN) harness (available in three different lengths to
connect the controller to the valve), a pressure sensor, and a pressure sensor harness
(available in five different lengths to connect the pressure sensor to the valve).

Installation; see section lX, pages 42-50 of the manual.

Wiring; Figure 1 is a photo showing the secondary harness required for communication
between the UBEC2 and the E4F or E6F. The 12 pin connector on this harness will plug
into the back of the UBEC2 controller. Connect the red (+) & black (-) wires of this
harness to 1 amp fused 12v (or 0.5 amp fused 24v) truck power & ground using the
heat shrinkable crimp connectors. The two wires in this harness labeled DATA BUS are
for communication between the UBEC2 and the actuator. The female terminals on
these two wires are to be inserted into the 12 pin connector on the harness that was
included with the actuator shown in figure 2. The red wire with the female terminal goes
to position 11 and black wire with the female terminal goes to position 12. (The original
three position connector with its two leads in positions 11 & 12 is to be removed and
discarded.) The 12 pin connector on the harness in figure 2 will then plug into the top of
the E4F or E6F actuator. Connect the red (+) & black (-) wires of this harness to 30 amp
fused 12v (or 15 amp fused 24v) truck power & ground using the heat shrinkable crimp
connectors. The 2 pin Packard connector will plug into its mating connector on the lead
from the actuators electric motor. The 6 position plug in the top of the E4F or E6F
actuator should be transferred to the back of the UBEC2 to seal it and allow the 6 pin
connector on the pressure sensor harness to be plugged into the top of the actuator.
The other connector on the pressure harness connects to the pressure sensor.
Final wiring check; Check that all unused connector positions have seal plugs in them,
that wires are in the correct positions in their connectors, and that their contacts are
locked securely into the connectors and can not come back out.

Programming; see section Xll, pages 56 -58 of the Unibody valve instruction manual.
You will need to program the unit;

 To be a remote.

 To reverse polarity (only if an E4F is used on an EB_J Jamesbury butterfly

valve.)

 To change the pressure display units (if they want something other than PSI).

2) After the UBEC2 has been programmed cycle the power to it and then transfer the
program from the UBEC2 controller to the E4F or E6F actuator using the instructions on
page 62 of the manual (see transfer code 4110) and then cycle power to the actuator.

3) After step 2 is complete auto calibrate the valve per the instructions in step 2 on page
63 of the manual.
