WARNING: The valve plate movement presents a severe pinching/crush ing

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

several times. The valve will eventually stop in the open position, unles s specified otherwise by the firmware.

Open/Close Testing

Verification of the system communications can be done by toggling the “O PEN / CLOSE” switch (if availabl e) on
the controller front panel, or sendi ng the appropriate command from the tool software. If the valve does not
