There is no direct relationship between the location of a
valve in the valve box and the driver that controls it. This
depends on how the solenoids are wired and the actuators
are plumbed.
Manual valves must be switch by hand, and are heated or
unheated.
Valve drivers 5 and 6 control a current that may be used to
drive a relay or other low- power device. Valve drivers 7 and
8 switch a current from an external source. Electrical details
are in
Table 55
on page 217.
These drivers, particularly Valve 7 and 8, may be used to
control a motor driven multiposition valve for stream
selection.
All four of these drivers appear on the External Event
connector on the back of the GC.
