Valve Control Module

User’s Manual 9

The VCM accommodates #10-32 thread connections (ex. face sealed push-to-connect) for 1/8 in. flexible
tubing. Face sealed push-to-connects should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Connect supply air to the inlet.

Notice: Do not exceed 116 psig (7 9 bar)

2. Connect system valves to any of the numbered outlets. It is not necessary to cap unused outlets.
3. Connect the exhaust to a system vent line.
