Start-Up
F113-12RFP (Globe)
F1113-12RFP (Angle)
Proper Automatic Control Valve start-up requires bringing the valve into service in a controlled manner.
All adjustments to control pilots and speed controls should be made slowly, allowing the valve to respond
and the system to stabilize. NOTE: Control Valves should be set-up in a dynamic (flowing) condition
for proper start-up. Provisions for flow must be made to insure proper settings.
1. Refer to valve schematic. Disengage Solenoid by turning Manual Operator counterclockwise (out).
Locate and open Manual Reset Ball Valve. Open upstream and downstream isolation valves to
allow controlled filling of the Valve and Backflow Assembly. Open all Isolation Ball Valves.
2. Inlet pressure will open the valve fully. Close Manual Reset Ball Valve.
3. Engage Solenoid by turning (red) Manual Operator clockwise (in) to simulate electrical shutdown
signal. Inlet pressure will be indicated on Pressure Gauge and valve will begin to close. Due to
low / no flow condition, valve closure may be slower than normal operation. When valve is fully
closed adjust Limit Switch trip arm and trip collar to actuate Limit Switch.
4. Disengage Solenoid by returning Manual Operator out (counterclockwise) and open Manual Reset
Ball Valve. Pilot System Pressure Gauge will drop to zero. Valve will open fully and is ready for
electrical activation. Allow for cover volume to discharge to floor drain. Refer to chart on Page 2
for Cover Chamber Volume. Close Manual Reset Ball Valve.
5. Open JB113 Junction Box. Apply power and observe the clear Electric Relay Control.
6. Pour adequate amount of water into RPZ Relief Valve Air Gap until the RED LED indicator light on
the Electrical Relay illuminates / flashes. This indicates the FS99 Flow Sensor is properly installed
and is sensing water in the discharge piping.
7. Trap water in discharge piping and observe RED LED on Electrical Relay. Solenoid will energize
when duration of Adjust Time Delay elapses. Valve will go closed and must be manually reset.
Adjust Time Delay to Customer / Project specifications. To manually reset valve refer to Step 4.
8. For final test simulate actual RPZ Relief Valve discharge and observe floor drain for excessive
pooling or flooding. Re-adjust time delay and valve speed controls as needed to achieve desired
valve closure time.
