U.S. Solid Motorized Ball Valve Instruction Manual

1. Уводзіны

This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of your U.S. Solid Motorized Ball Valve. Please read these instructions thoroughly before installation and retain this manual for future reference. This valve is designed for various applications requiring automated fluid control, featuring a durable stainless steel construction and a 2-wire auto return setup.

2. Інфармацыя па бяспецы

• Always disconnect power before installing, servicing, or performing any maintenance on the valve.
• Пераканайцеся, што ўсе электрычныя падключэнні адпавядаюць мясцовым нормам і правілам.
• Карыстайцеся адпаведнымі сродкамі індывідуальнай абароны (СІА) падчас усталёўкі і тэхнічнага абслугоўвання.
• Праверце тtage supply matches the valve's specifications (9-24V AC/DC).
• Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure of 10 bars (145 PSI).
• Avoid installing the valve in locations subject to extreme temperatures or corrosive environments beyond its IP65 rating.

3. Прадукт скончыўсяview

3.1 Асноўныя магчымасці

• матэрыял: Constructed from 304 stainless steel for durability and reliability.
• Памер порта: 3/4" NPT threading with a full port design to minimize pressure loss.
• тtage: Operates on 9-24V AC/DC.
• Аперацыя: Opens or closes in 3-5 seconds.
• Праводка: Simple 2-wire automatic return setup.
• Бяспека: Limit switch minimizes power consumption once fully open or closed, reducing overheating risk.
• Абарона: IP65 rated for dust-tight and water jet protection.

3.2 Кампаненты

The U.S. Solid Motorized Ball Valve consists of two primary components: the stainless steel ball valve body and the motorized actuator unit. The actuator houses the motor, gearing, and control electronics.

4. Настройка і ўстаноўка

4.1 Механічны мантаж

1. Перад устаноўкай пераканайцеся, што сістэма не пад ціскам і не мае вады.
2. Apply PTFE (Teflon) tape to the male pipe threads to ensure a watertight seal. Wrap the tape clockwise around the threads, typically 3-5 layers.

3. Screw the valve firmly into the piping system. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or valve body.
4. Ensure the valve is installed in an accessible location for future maintenance.

4.2 Electrical Wiring (2-Wire Auto Return Setup)

This valve features a 2-wire auto return setup, meaning it will return to its fully open position if power is removed. It is a Normally Open (NO) valve, which means it is open when no power is applied.

• For DC Power: Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal of your 9-24V DC power supply. Applying power will close the valve. Removing power will cause the valve to automatically return to its open position.
• For AC Power: Connect the red wire to one AC line and the black wire to the other AC line of your 9-24V AC power supply. Applying power will close the valve. Removing power will cause the valve to automatically return to its open position.

5. Аперацыя

The U.S. Solid Motorized Ball Valve is designed for simple on/off control. As a Normally Open (NO) valve, its default state without power is open.

• Каб закрыць клапан: Apply 9-24V AC/DC power to the red and black wires. The actuator will rotate, closing the ball valve. Once fully closed, an internal limit switch will cut power to the motor, preventing overheating.
• Каб адкрыць клапан: Remove the 9-24V AC/DC power from the red and black wires. The actuator will automatically return to its original position, opening the ball valve.

6. Тэхнічнае абслугоўванне

The U.S. Solid Motorized Ball Valve is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular inspection can help ensure long-term reliable operation.

• Перыядычная праверка: Visually inspect the valve and actuator for any signs of damage, corrosion, or leaks. Check electrical connections for tightness and integrity.
• Уборка: If necessary, clean the exterior of the valve and actuator with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure no water enters the actuator housing.
• Праверка прывада: Periodically cycle the valve (open and close) to ensure smooth operation. Listen for any unusual noises during actuation.
