(-30ºC to +50ºC)
Cables: 7 wires - marked ever y foot 1 thru 6 with
the 7
th
yellow/green (ear th ground), 18 AWG
wire cable with waterproof, quick disconnect
connectors.
INSTALLATION
The VPIF is shipped in a box with the Sealed Motor
Valve and comes factory calibrated and tested; ready
to use. The VPIF can be mounted on the valve or to
any flat sur face. The clear cover must be removed to
access the four plate bolts. These same four holes
are used to mount the VPIF on a flat surface. Replace
the clear cover when complete.
WIRING
The VPIF is provided with waterproof quick disconnect
cables. If the VPIF is mounted on the valve, the 8’
cable and the 2’ cable with pigtails can be connected
together for a total of 10’ to the customer supplied
junction box.
If the VPIF is mounted separately from the valve, the
8’ cable is connected to the SMV power head. The
VPIF can be mounted up to 10’ away from the valve.
For greater distances, additional 8’ VPIEC Extension
Cables can be connected.
Refer to Figure D
.
Proper wiring is ver y impor tant to the operation of
the Sealed Motor Valve. Correct wire size for 24VAC
power to the power head must be selected for the
distance and number of valves.
