    AGXCEL LIQUID APPLICATION VALVE ASSEMBLY LAYOUT There are a variety of configurations for the GX30i valves. However, the most common will be 3/8” QC with 3/8” tubing or 3/8” barb with 3/8” hose. When the GX30i is used in conjunction with a floating ball manifold the line out of the wilger tops will be split prior to reaching the dual valves and properly re-integrated after the valves.

  • Page 35: Self Address

    AGXCEL LIQUID APPLICATION GX30iVRT CONTROLLER SETUP Self-Address Self addressing would allow the user to have the micro control valves (MCV) self assign their proper ID’s. In some cases the micro control valve can lose its assigned ID so going through the self address process will assign the micro control valves their proper ID.
  • Page 36: Manual Override

    Manual Override When needing to apply the same rate for all rows or for testing purposes, the user will be able to open and close the micro check valves using the GX30iVRT’s manual override on the settings screen. Step 1 - From the main screen, press the arrow button to go into the settings page.
  • Page 37: Voltage Threshold

    Voltage Threshold Some rate controllers leave voltage on the PWM line that the GX30iVRT IS CONNECTED TO. This can result to the micro control valves to stay open when there is no application being applied. Setting the GX30Ivrt’s voltage threshold to the cor- rect value can eliminate the voltage quicker.
