Pre-Installation Functionality Check

WARNING: The valve plate movement presents a severe
pinching/crushing hazard. Please keep fingers, hands and other
objects away from the valve opening and associated moving parts.

Connect Power and Valve Cables

Connect the APC controller to the valve motor with a Nor-Cal TBV-CRD series cable. (NOTE: IQ-series valves
do not require a valve cable connection, as the motor is integrated into th e controller.) Connect the controller to
an appropriate power source. Toggle the power switch (if applicable) or apply DC power from your source.

Initialize the Valve

From the tool software, send the appropriate initialization command to begin initialization. During Initialization,
the valve will complete a 15-second initialization sequence during which the valve plate will cycle back-and-forth
several times. The valve will eventually stop in the open position, unl es s specified otherwise by the firmware.

Open/Close Testing

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