When the motor and cable drum is rotated clockwise, the drive cable pulls up on the lift bar, opening the
valve. When the motor and cable drum is rotated counter-clockwise, the other end of the drive cable pulls
down on the lift bar via the deflector sheaves, closing the valve. It is normal for there to be slackness on the
non tension side of the cable.
Operation of the valve motor is regulated by a controller located in a waterproof enclosure on the top of the
valve assembly. The controller receives power and a control signal from the aircraft via a three conductor
cable. The control signal is provided in the aircraft via a momentary push button and relay.
Caution
The control enclosure is hermetically sealed. Unauthorized opening will void the warranty.
