Valve Actuator moves at the end
of the open or closed function.

Mating Weather-Pack Connectors for Power Cable
A Mating Weather-Pack connector must be used to connect to the power source.
DO NOT CUT THE CONNECTOR on the power wire of the controller.
Doing so will void the warranty.

INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Style 9313 Controller from Akron is designed to provide reliable and accurate valve control with valve position
indication through 10 LED (Light Emitting Diodes) indicators identifying the degree of Open/Close.
Features of the Akron Style 9313 Controller include:
Protected against EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference), both incoming and outgoing
Programmable Auto Open (not preset)
Works with both 12 and 24 Volt systems
Retrofits to existing apparatus
4 ¼” square face
Meets all aspects of NFPA 1901

Standard Components
Controller
Wiring Harness for connection to the valve-10’ length standard
Note: the Controller is designed for use only with Akron Brass Electric Valves. Do not use with any other manufacture of valve. Doing
so will void any warranty.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Select the mounting location for the Controller. The Controller can be mounted from the outside with (4) Screws and
Delrin Nuts (included). Torque requirement is 6-8 lb-in for the nuts. The unit requires 2 ½” clearance behind the panel. Dimensions
for a panel cutout are shown in figure #1.
Warning:
The Controller is a sealed unit. Disassembly of the unit will void any warranty. There are no user serviceable parts in the
Controller. If service is required the unit should be returned to the factory. Also, do not cut any connections. Doing so will void any
warranty and prevent product returns.
Note: The Valve and Auxiliary wires are plugged prior to shipment. These plugs must be removed before connections can be made. If
a lead is not being utilized, the plug should be left in place to prevent moisture damage.
CONTROLLER LEADS
Each Controller has three (3) Connectors extending from the back of the unit.
Power Connection lead
The Controller Power connection utilizes a 2 prong Weather-Pack connector. A mating Weather-Pack connector is required (cus-
tomer supplied-see appendix for purchasing information). Proper wire gauge is required to assure a quality connection. 12 gauge wire
is recommended. Heavier gauge wire is required for runs over 10’.
Note: when using larger than 12 gauge wire, be sure to use a 12 gauge connector and splice after the connector so as to not void any
warranty. The splice should be made close to the Controller.
