2. Valve Position Calibration
NOTE: The valve should be partially open before starting valve position calibration.
SET FULLY CLOSED POSITION
1. Press and hold CLOSE and PRESET buttons.
Release both buttons when the red CLOSED LED
starts to ash.
2. Use the CLOSE button to close the valve.
3. When the valve is fully closed (detected by a high current surge when the valve hits the positive stop), the
CLOSE LED will ash at a faster speed.
4. Press and hold the PRESET (CAF SELECT for UICS2)
button for 5 seconds to accept and exit calibration.
Red LED will stop ashing.
SET FULLY OPEN POSITION
1. Press and hold OPEN and PRESET buttons. Release
both buttons when the green OPEN LED starts to ash.
2. Use the OPEN button to open the valve.
3. When the valve is fully opened (detected by a high
current surge when the valve hits the positive stop), the
last fully opened LED will ash at a faster speed.
4. Press and hold the PRESET (CAF SELECT for UICS2)
button for 5 seconds to accept and exit calibration.
The green fully OPEN LED will stop ashing.
Pressure – Not required unless pressure display is found to be inaccurate. (See page 64)
Flow – Always required with UBEC3 controller. (See page 64-65)
3. Common Error Codes
• F1 – Valve calibration problem
See Valve Position Calibration above.
• F5 – No pressure sensor detected
4
Check sensor harness connections. (See page 68)
• E202 – Invalid program code entered
See Pages 53-61 for programming codes.
• E204 – No signal from sensor
Check harness connections. (See page 68)
NOTE: See page 66 of manual for more diagnostic information.
4. Special Notes
• EB6D Buttery Valves
These valves utilize a high frictional coefcient seat material. This high friction value could result in a high torque
scenario when closing new, dry valves. In the event of a high torque scenario, there is a possibility of the
controller reaching its preset amperage limit, causing the controller LEDs to ash and reset the controller. Once
reset, the controller will function properly. For this reason it is recommended that repeatedly opening and closing of
the valve while dry is avoided.
Note: The above scenario is only possible in the absence of water on the valve seat.
• EBXJ Buttery Valves
1. Press and hold the OPEN and CLOSE buttons for 5 seconds.
2. Enter code 2160
Press OPEN button 2 times to enter 2
Press CLOSE button to move the cursor to the next digit
Press OPEN button 1 time to enter 1
Press CLOSE button to move the cursor to the next digit
Press OPEN button 6 times to enter 6
Result: The PRESSURE display shows 2160.
3. After 3 seconds TYPE1 (standard) or TYPE2 (reverse) shows in the display.
4. Use the OPEN button to toggle between the two.
5. Press the PRESET/CAF SELECT button and hold for 5 seconds to exit and save the programmed parameters.

2. Remove the 1/2" bolt and washer that locks the actuator assembly in position. Remove
actuator shaft. Remove gear sector and place in the full clockwise position as shown in
Figure 11. This equates to the valve open position for electric actuators on all valves
except EB_J & EB_S buttery valves (The gear sector positions are opposite for the EB_J
and EB_S butterys with electric actuators). This full clockwise position also equates to
the closed position for gear actuators on all valves.

2. Use a 1-3/8" wrench to adjust the slow close. (Note that a 3" or larger valve cannot be
actuated to close or open in less than three seconds per NFPA 1901.) Turning the cover
clockwise will reduce the speed at which the valve can be actuated. Turning the cover
counterclockwise will increase the speed at which the valve can be actuated.
