1.0 - Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a new Intellisys™ Tss SoftShut™ throttling gate valve from Nor-Cal Products. Before installing and operating the product,
please read this manual thoroughly as it contains critical hook-up and operating tips. If you encounter any problems, or if you have any questions,
please contact our Intellisys Customer Service Support at [phone] or visit our web site at www.n-c.com.

Nor-Cal Products’ TSS Softshut gate valves are designed for foreline isolation and downstream pressure control over a wide range of vacuum control applications
in conjunction with an APC-series buried box or IQ-series on-valve controller module. The TSS Valve cannot be operated by other manufacturers’ valve
controllers. All interface and communications connections are made directly to the controller module that, in turn, provides power and position signals to the
valve motor. Used with a controller module and the inputs from one or two pressure gauges the TSS-series gate valve forms an integral part of a complete
downstream pressure control system.

Important Personnel Safety and Product Protection Information

Throughout this manual, information that is of particular importance to the installation, the safety of
operating personnel and the protection of equipment are highlighted by the following three symbols.
The WARNING symbol is also used on the equipment wherever necessary.

NOTE: Calls attention to helpful tips about proper

installation, maintenance or use of the valve.

CAUTION: Highlights areas of concern that, if overlooked, could

result in damage to the valve or surrounding equipment.

WARNING : Alerts the installation, operating or maintenance

personnel of hazardous aspects of the valve, which, if
ignored could result in serious personal injury or death.
