Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Ensure proper location and support.

Select installation location: Choose stable, accessible area near pool equipment.
Prepare piping: Cut and dry-fit PVC pipes to valve ports.
Install valve body: Use PVC primer and cement for permanent connections.
Mount actuator: Attach actuator to valve body using provided hardware.
Connect wiring: Route 24V AC power and control wires to actuator.

WARNING! Ensure power is disconnected during installation. Use proper PVC cement and allow adequate cure time.

First-Time Setup

Power on valve system; configure initial settings.

Power connection: Connect 24V AC power to actuator terminals.
Position calibration: Use manual override to set initial positions.
Control system setup: Program valve positions in pool automation controller.
Test operation: Verify valve moves smoothly between positions.
Set limits: Configure open/close positions if adjustable.

CAUTION! Ensure proper voltage (24V AC only). Do not exceed rated pressure and flow limits.
