Wiring

Electrical connection of the IC, see enclosed Actua-
tor IC 20/IC 30/IC 40 operating instructions or go to 
www.docuthek.com.

Tightness test

 

Shut off the gas supply.

  

 Close off the outlet of the VFC with a blanking 

plate or close the solenoid valve for gas down-
stream of the VFC.

The VFC is in the closed position once the IC has 

been installed:

  

 Set the IC 20, IC 30 in Manual mode, or the 

IC 40 using BCSoft, to 100% open position, see 
enclosed Actuator IC 20/IC 30/IC 40 operating 
instructions or go to www.docuthek.com.

  Tightness OK: remove the blanking plate or open 

the solenoid valve for gas downstream of the 
VFC.

 5 

 Once the tightness test has been carried out 

successfully, move the VFC to the closed posi-
tion once more using the actuator IC.

 

Pipeline leaking: replace O-ring on flange, see 
page  5 (Seal set for sizes 1 and 3). Then 
check for tightness once again.

 

Unit leaking: remove the unit and return it to the 
manufacturer.

Setting the flow rate

 CAUTION

When setting a higher flow rate, do not turn the 
adjusting spindle further than the stop (= maximum 
flow rate). It must not be unscrewed completely.

The VFC is set to the maximum flow rate at the 

factory.

 

Check the VFC for tightness after each adjust-
ment of the adjusting spindle, see page  
(Tightness test).

 

The flow rate can be adjusted using the adjusting 

spindle (2.5 Allen key) in the base plate:

 

 turning it clockwise will reduce the flow rate,

 

 turning it anti-clockwise will increase the flow 

rate.

The VFC is controlled by the IC, see enclosed 

Actuator IC 20/IC 30/IC 40 operating instructions 

or go to www.docuthek.com.
