NOTICE 2.0 SAFETY Do not use AC current to operate the Ball Intake Valve RC or the Jumbo Ball Intake Valve RC. The WARNING Ball Intake Valve RC and the Jumbo Ball Intake Valve RC are 12 or 24VDC systems ONLY! Using the wrong power source could cause electrocution, resulting in death or serious injury. -
Page 4: General Information
Ball Intake Valves. The Ball Intake Valve and the Jumbo Ball Intake Valve are intended for use on the intake manifold of a fire engine. The valve is kept closed while the water supply from a hydrant or another pumper to the engine is being established. This prevents the pump from sucking air through the intake manifold and losing its prime. -
Page 5: Specifications
The electric motor and other components are ignition sources. The electric BIV should be operated only WARNING in areas where there is adequate ventilation and no hazard of flammable vapor buildup. ©Copyright Task Force Tips, LLC 2002 - 2018 LIA-200 March 20, 2018 Rev19... -
Page 6: Electrical Testing
NOTE: Override knob will only turn in one direction. To ensure proper voltage to the Ball Intake Valve RC, the wiring needs to be checked for proper gauge for the installed length of wire, and for proper termination. Also, ensure that the power source supplying the BIV RC and the grounding are adequate (other electrical loads on a shared circuit with the BIV RC may cause a low-voltage situation). -
Page 7: Changing Handwheel To Left Side (Rc Models)
4.7 BALL INTAKE VALVE RC MANUAL OVERRIDE The Ball Intake Valve RC is motor driven but also has an override handwheel for operating the valve manually. The override handwheel may also be used in the event of power failure. If electrical power is supplied to the control panel then the LED valve position display will track the valve’s position as the handwheel is moved. -
