Pre-Installation Functionality Check

hazard. Please keep fingers, hands and other objects away from
the valve opening and associated movin g parts.

Connect Power and Valve Cables
Connect the APC controller to the valve with a Nor-Cal TBV-CRD series cable, and a pply an appropriate power
source. See diagrams on the back of t hi s sheet for Cable and Power Supply Connec tions.

Initialize the Valve

On Power-up, the valve will complete a 30-second initialization sequenc e during which the valve plate will cycle
back-and-forth several times. (NOTE: Some valve models require an external command from the host soft ware
to begin initialization.) The v al v e will eventually stop in the open position, unless specified otherwise in the
firmware.

Open/Close Testing

Verification of the system communicat i ons can be done by toggling the “OPEN / CLO S E” switch (if available) on
the controller front panel, or sendi ng the appropriate command from the tool software. If the valve does not
operate as described, please contac t Nor-Cal technical support.
