5.3  RC VALVE OPERATION

POWER 

LED

POSITION

 INDICATOR

CONTROL BUTTONS

Figure 5.3

Power LED: 

LED will be solid green when power is present

Position Indicator: 

5 LEDs indicate valve position. One for full close (red at far right), one for full open (green 

at far left), three yellow for 25%, 50 %, and 75% open. Two LEDs will light when position is 

between two percentages.
Note: The position indicator will lose position if the manual override is used while the power is 

off. Position location is restored after the first cycle of electric operation.

Control Buttons:

Manual Mode
When OPEN or CLOSE button is pressed, valve opens or closes until button is released.
Automatic Mode
When OPEN or CLOSE button is momentarily pressed, valve opens or closes fully.
During valve movement if STOP or the other direction is momentarily pressed the motor will 

stop.
Changing Modes (Unit is shipped from factory in the Auto Mode)
Press CLOSE and STOP buttons together and hold for 3 seconds to change to Automatic 

Mode.
Press OPEN and STOP buttons together and hold for 3 seconds to change to manual mode.

5.4 AIR VENT AND WATER DRAIN

CAUTION

Loss of prime can interrupt water flow and cause injury or death. Always bleed out air with air 

valve to prevent possible loss of prime.

The BIV and Jumbo BIV come with an Air Vent/Drain situated on the side of the PRV pad.  The BIV has a second plugged port on the 

opposite side of the pad.  An additional port on both the BIV and Jumbo BIV is located along side of the gearbox.  To use a different 

port position, relocate the factory supplied drain valve or install an additional drain valve.  If the Air Vent/Drain is being relocated, 

use a ¾”NPT plug to seal the empty port. The barb fitting must be removed from the Air Vent/Drain body to install and replaced once 

the Air Vent/Drain body is tightened.

5.5  PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

WARNING

Do not leave the pressure relief valve in the OFF position. The pressure relief valve is disabled 

in the OFF position and offers no protection against over pressurization. The OFF position may 

be used for controlled pump testing but should not be used for service conditions. Exercise 

great care to avoid water hammer or other pressure spikes when the pressure relief valve is in 

the OFF position.

WARNING

The Pressure Relief Valve may be damaged if frozen while containing significant amounts of 

water. Such damage may to difficult to detect visually and can lead to possible injury or death. 

Any time the Pressure Relief Valve is subject to possible damage due to freezing, it must be 

hydrostatically tested by qualified personnel before being considered safe for use.

LDH valved appliances may be equipped with a pressure relief valve that can be set to any pressure between 90 and 300 psi. Its 

function is to protect the pump and supply hose from excess pressure. A piece of hose or tubing may be mounted on the round 

spout to direct water coming out of the relief valve away from the device. The relief valve may be mounted with its opening facing 

the front, back, right, or left.  To change the orientation of the relief valve, remove the four 7/16” bolts (5/8” wrench) on the corners of 

the relief valve flange, orient the valve in the desired position, and replace the bolts. Use thread-locking compound on the threads 

of the bolts to prevent them from vibrating loose.
See 

LIA-202

 Pressure Relief Valve Instructions for Safe Operation and Maintenance.

5.5.1  RELIEF VALVE SETTING PRESSURE

To set the relief valve pressure turn the adjusting 

screw on the relief valve housing until the surface 

of the screw is even with the desired pressure. A 

9/16” (14mm) socket or a 1/4” Allen wrench may 

be used to turn the adjusting screw. The Pressure 

relief valve should not be disabled (IE: capped, 

plugged, or set to the OFF position) for normal 

service conditions. Disabling the relief valve may 

result in system damage or hose rupture if the 

system exceeds operating limits. The pressure 

relief valve meets the requirements of NFPA 1901.
