Inspection Points – Vent Fan Assembly

A current sensor monitors 
the vent fan operation. If 
the fan fails, this sensor 
will open and activate 
an alarm. Some vent fan 
assemblies are equipped 
with optional heater units 
for reliable performance in 
cold weather.  Check your 
system plans to determine if your vent fan assembly includes a heater.

1. 

Current sensor operation: 

To test the current sensor, switch off 

the power to the fan and verify the visual alarm on the control panel 
is activated.

 

NOTE: 

TCOM control panels have a 12-hour delay in the audible 

alarm for the current sensor.

2. 

Optional heater unit: 

There are two types of heater unit controls 

available for vent fan assemblies: a single set-point style and a 
multiple set-point style. If your system is equipped with an optional 
heater unit, check your system plans to determine the type of heater 
included in the vent fan assembly.
•  Single set point — Locate the heater inside the vent fan assembly 

enclosure, remove the heater cover in the vent fan assembly, and 
set the thermostat to 43° F (6° C).

•  Multiple set points — In the control panel, set the “Heater On” 

point at 35° F (1.6 °C), “Heater Off” point to 45°F (7.2 °C), “Fan 
On” point to 35°F (1.6 °C), and “Fan Off” point to 25°F (-3.8 °C). 

Inspection Points – Distribution Valve 

To verify that the distribution valve is operational, the valve must be 
hydraulically loaded with the conditions under which it will operate. Use the 
system plans to find the location of all distribution valves in the system. 

1. 

Verify liquid level:

 Make sure that the tank or basin that you are 

pumping from has sufficient liquid to perform the test.

 

WARNING:

 There is no motor protection in TCOM panels and 

panels without “RO” alarms. Before running a pump, always 
verify that there is sufficient liquid in the tank or basin.

2. 

Turn on pump: 

Toggle the “AUTO-OFF-MAN” switch for the pump 

that pressurizes the distribution valve to “MAN.” 

3. 

Leak inspection:

 Once 

the distribution valve is 
pressurized, inspect the 
unions on the distribution 
valve for leaks. Tighten any 
unions that are leaking. 

4. 

Operation inspection: 

Open and close the ball valve 
to test the operation of the 
distribution valve. 
•  When the valve is closed and opened, the flow should transition 

from one leg of the valve to another. Observe the clear section of 
the leg to verify this transition. There may be flow in more than 
one leg, but there should only be full flow in one leg at any time. 

•  When the ball valve is fully closed, the system will fully pressurize 

(deadhead condition). Incorrectly installed connections in the line 
may separate and require reinstallation before testing can be 
completed. 

•  If the distribution valve does not rotate correctly, open the 

distribution valve and inspect for debris or breakage. If the 
problem is not a mechanical issue, review the plans for potential 
installation issues, including elevation.

Housekeeping 

1. Verify that all control panels are turned on and all “AUTO-OFF-MAN” 

switches are toggled to “AUTO.”

2. Close all control panels.

3. Close and bolt down all tank access lids and riser lids.

 

WARNING:

 AN UNBOLTED RISER LID OR OPEN TANK IS A 

SAFETY HAZARD! Tank and riser access lids must be properly 
secured at all times. If bolts are lost or damaged, contact Orenco 
immediately for replacements.

4. Police the area for 

debris and tools.
