Pneumatic Isolation Pendulum V alves (IPV)

Connect the Pneumatic Line

For pneumatically driven IPV valves, connect an unpressurized CDA or N2 line to the input solenoid then slowly
bring up the pressure to 80PSI.

Open and Close Testing

To open the valve, manually depress and hold the small orange button on the s olenoid near the CDA input.
Release the button to close the valve.

Motor-Driven Throttling Pendulum V al ves (TPV)

Connect Power and Valve Cables

Connect the APC controller to the val v e 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 c ontroller.) Connect the controller to
an appropriate power source. Toggle the power switch (if applicable) or apply DC power from your sourc e.

Initialize the Valve

From the tool software, send the appropriate initialization command to begin initialization. During Initialization,
the valve will complete a 30-second init ialization sequence during which the valve plate will cycle back-and-forth
several times. The valve will eventually stop in the open position, unless specified otherwise by the fir mware.

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 the tool software. If the valve does not
operate as described, please contac t Nor-Cal technical support.
