4.5 BALL INTAKE VALVE RC MANUAL OVERRIDE
The Ball Intake Valve RC is motor driven but also has an override
handwheel for operating the valve manually. The override
handwheel may also be used in the event of power failure. If
electrical power is supplied to the control panel then the LED valve
position display will track the valve's position as the handwheel is
moved. If the handwheel is moved while there is no power to the
electric controls than the LED valve position display will be in error
when the electric power is reconnected. The LED valve position
indicator will self correct the first time the valve is cycled under
electric control.
If more compactness is desired the override handwheel may be
removed. The drive shaft has a hex so a wrench or socket may be
used for manual override. If the manual override handwheel is
removed assure that the correct size wrench of socket is available
in the event of power failure.
11/16” (18mm) Hex
To open the valve turn the hand wheel until the valve position says "OPEN". To close the
valve turn the hand wheel the opposite way until the valve position indicator says "CLOSED".
