Installation on Solenoid Valve
1. For solenoid mounting use Bag colors, White, Clear and Red. See
Mounting Configuration Table 1 (see page 2).
2.
Use one clamp-vee (small) from the white bag as the top clamp and the
(clamp-vee solenoid) as the bottom clamp from the clear bag. See Fig 6.
3. Insert both small rubber grippers from the white bag into both clamps.
4.
Insert two, #10-32 hex nuts from the clear bag into the bottom press fit
hex slots of the (clamp-vee solenoid). Make sure the hex nuts are fully
seated in the hex slots. See Fig 7.
5.
Insert screws into top mounting clamp-vee (small).
6.
Place (clamp-vee solenoid) on bottom of the solenoid nipple.
7.
Place top mounting clamp-vee (small) over solenoid nipple and insert the
screws into (clamp-vee solenoid). Make sure the top of the clamp-vee
(small) is parallel with the top of the solenoid coil. Tighten alternately to
30 in-lbs. (minimum) of torque.
8.
Attach the “L” bracket-mounting to the top clamp-vee using the ¼-20 X
¾” hex bolt and washer out of the Red bag. Do not fully tighten hex bolt.
Make sure vertical slot on the “L” mounting-bracket is closer to the center
of the solenoid coil. See fig 6.
9.
Attach the (bracket-mounting solenoid) from the Red bag to the
RBVS through the two smaller slots in the bracket with two tamper
resistant screws.
10. Slide the bracket up against the stop on the back of the RBVS and
tighten the tamper resistant screws.
11. Using two tamper resistant screws and keps nuts, loosely attach
the (bracket-mounting solenoid) to the “L” bracket-mounting.
See Fig 6.
12. Remove the RBVS switch enclosure cover.
13. position the RBVS so the actuator is directly above the coil
mounting stud in the center of the solenoid coil. Tighten the hex
bolt on the “L” mounting-bracket.
14.
Slide the RBVS down the “L” mounting-bracket so the actuator is
activated by the stud in the solenoid coil.
15. While holding the RBVS enclosure down so that the actuator is
depressed by the coil mounting stud, securely tighten the two
tamper resistant screws and keps nuts.
16. Wire main switch and tamper switch (if required). If required,
carefully route tamper switch wires through strain relief slot
in switch enclosure. Fully seat the wires into the bottom of the
channel. See Fig 1.
17. Replace RBVS switch enclosure cover and securely tighten cover
screws to 10 in-lbs minimum. See notice on page 6.
