Unpacking & Handling
Use care when unpacking an Intellisys Pendulum Valve. Never lift by the Actuator or Motor, or set on edge.
Lift only on the body surfaces or lifting lugs. Aluminum surfaces scratch easily. A static-safe, particle-free
work surface is recommended. There is no need to remove parts during installation or inspection.
Removing or disassembling parts without authorization from a Nor-Cal rep will void the warranty.

Quick-Start Guide
200mm, 250mm and 350mm Isolation Pendulum Gate Valves (IPV)
Basic Troubleshooting
Gate Seal does not pass Helium Leak Check
• Open the valve for approximately one hour to help r elieve o-ring compression set on t he gate seal.
• Wipe-down inner sealing flange and the gate o-ring with IPA and DI.
NOTE: Gray Aluminum Oxide residue on a cleanroom wipe is normal.
• Make sure 80-100 PSI CDA or N
• Check for cracked or broken air fittings. Listen for CDA leaks.
• Re-try the Helium leak test after the above steps have been taken
• If the valve still does not pass, record the areas where it fails, the leak rate, and the serial number,
then call a local Nor-Cal rep.
• Do not disassemble the valve without authorization from a Nor-Cal re p.
• Consult the specification for this seal to confirm there is a discrepancy.
Atmosphere seals (Bonnet, Shaft, Hard-stop) do not pass Helium Leak Check
• Record the area where the atmosphere seal leaks, the leak rate, and the serial number, then call a
Nor-Cal rep.
• Consult the specification for the seal to confirm there is a discrepancy.
is provided. Pressure <80 PSI can prevent complete sealing.

Bolts get stuck (galled) in the body or flange
• DO NOT force the bolts out! Irreparabl e damage can occur, or the bolts may break-off.
• Instead, use large amounts of DI or IPA to lubricate the bolts, slowly turning them back and forth in
small increments until the bolt has been removed.
NOTE: If the Helicoil backs out with the bolt, stop here, and then call a Nor-Cal Rep.
• Thoroughly clean and rinse the threads of both the bolt and the threaded hole.
• Inspect both for damage, and try hand-threading the bolt back into the hole.
• If there is resistance to hand-threadi ng, call a Nor-Cal rep.
Cosmetic discrepancies
• Some imperfections and discolor ation are normal. Consult the cosmet ic specification for the
particular location (casting, machined surface, paint, etc.) to be sure there is a discrepancy.
• Do not attempt to fix cosmetic scratches on machined or finished surfac es. If possible, photograph
the issue, and then email images to a Nor-Cal rep.
• Never use solvents or cleaners other than IPA or DI water to remove stain s or discoloration.
