several.items.must.be.considered.
• Moisture.—.The.valve.and.controller.are.rated.for.NEMA.3.
locations..Falling.water.should.not.affect.performance.
The.system.is.not.designed.to.withstand.extreme.humidity.
or.water.spray.from.below..Examples.are:.constant.heavy.

will.not.degrade.to.cause.system.failures.
• Temperature.—.Extreme.hot.or.cold.temperatures.may.
cause.damage.to.the.valve.or.controller.
Freezing.temperatures.will.freeze.the.water.in.the.valve..
This.will.cause.physical.damage.to.the.internal.parts.as.well.
as.the.plumbing.
• Insects.—.The.controller.and.valve.have.been.designed.to.
keep.all.but.the.smallest.insects.out.of.the.critical.areas.
