4. Set the ECS/SP Control Box POWER switch to the ON position to apply 24 VAC power to
the Control Valve Actuator (pins 1 (G0) and 2 (G). Ensure the Valve is in the AUTO
position, the LED indicator will light green continuously indicating that Valve operation is
normal (no faults).
5. Using a pin or paper clip, depress the auto-stroke button in the opening of the terminal
housing (Figure 4-2). This will initiate calibration of the Control Valve.
6. During actuator calibration, the LED indicator (Figure 4-2) will flash green for
approximately 10 seconds. The Control Valve will be briefly closed and fully opened.
7. Upon successful completion of the Valve calibration process, the LED indicator will stop
flashing and remain ON continuously green.
8. The two-color (Red/Green) indicator is useful in determining the operating status of the
Control Valve. Refer to Table 4-1 for descriptions of the possible LED status displays
which may be encountered.
