Troubleshooting
• Switch source voltage is not close to incoming system voltage (within 1-2 volts)
1. Switch source voltage may be shorted to ground either directly or indirectly. Remove the cable from
the TANK FILL VALVE SWITCHES Connector and check the voltage again. If the voltage is still incorrect,
remove the cable from the INPUT SWITCHES AND COUNTER Connector and check the voltage again.
If the voltage is still incorrect, remove the cable from the PRESSURE TRANSDUCER Connector and
check the voltage again. If it is still incorrect, replace the circuit board.
2. If unplugging one of the cables corrected the voltage reading, then trace out the wiring for that cable and
attempt to find the short circuit. If the cable from the TANK FILL VALVE SWITCHES Connector seems to
be at fault, also check to make sure that the wires inside the logic box between the TANK FILL VALVE
SWITCHES Connector and terminal block TB3 are wired Correctly
• “Opened” switch does not appear to be working
1. Check the wiring to make sure that voltage is going out to the switch and that the return from the switch
is going into terminal TB3-27. Make sure that the wiring has not been crossed with the “Closed” switch
wiring, either in the external cable or in the logic box.
2. Make sure that the switch is being activated by the sector gear.
• “Closed” switch does not appear to be working
1. Check the wiring to make sure that voltage is going out to the switch and that the return from the switch
is going into terminal TB3-26. Make sure that the wiring has not been crossed with the “Opened” switch
wiring, either in the external cable or in the logic box.
2. Make sure that the switch is being activated by the sector gear.
MAINTENANCE
After 80,000 cycles or every 56 weeks, whichever comes first, the following Maintenance needs to be performed:
An Akron Style 9167 must be used to rebuild the valve. Complete instructions are included with each kit.
WARRANTY
All components of the Hi Cycle Valve carry a one (1) year Akron Brass warranty provided the maintenance instructions outlined above are followed.
