Warranty
Nor-Cal Intellisys Controllers and valves are warranted against defects and material workmanship for a period of
12 months after the date of shipment to the buyer. For complete warranty and Intellectual Property details,
please refer to the complete manual.
Pre-Installation Functionality Check
WARNING: The valve plate movement presents a 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 with a Nor-Cal TBV-CRD series cable, and apply an appropriate power
source. See diagrams on the back of this sheet for Cable and Power Supply Connections.
Initialize the Valve
On Power-up, the valve will complete a 30-second initialization sequence during which the valve plate will cycle
back-and-forth several times. (NOTE: Some valve models require an external command from the host software
to begin initialization.) The valve will eventually stop in the open position, unless specified otherwise in 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 sending the appropriate command from the tool software. If the valve does not
operate as described, please contact Nor-Cal technical support.
