Page 17: Maintenance/Calibration
21. This programming must be done before performing the automatic valve position calibration. Automatic Valve Position Calibration for APEX-S The valve position calibration determines the point where the valve is fully open or fully closed. This process will automatically determine these points by running the valve to the fully closed position then the fully open position, and then back to the fully closed position. - Page 18 Maintenance Instructions Preventive Maintenance The control system should be inspected during each apparatus check. Inspect the valve controller, wiring, and valve for damage. • Operate all possible functions to ensure that each works normally • Fully open and fully close valve to check for full range operation •...

OPERATION On power-up the valve controller will be in the normal operating mode. The green OPEN, red CLOSE, and yellow PRESET buttons will control valve position. The yellow PRESET button will set the valve to a programmed position. Once a preset position has been programmed, pressing the PRESET button will move the valve to that position. -
Page 20: Programming Mode
PROGRAMMING MODE Customizing Default Settings Programming mode allows the user to customize some default settings on the controller. When in programming mode, the position of the LEDs is used to program the valve controller to the desired settings. NOTE: The valve must be closed and the red CLOSED LED must be on to enter program mode. Entering Program Mode Press and hold the CLOSE button, then press and hold the OPEN button. - Page 21 The flashing red closed LED will go out One or more green LEDs may stay on 8 Cycle power to the APEX-S controller and the valve 9 Calibrate the valve by using Code 1113.
