3.0 - Unpacking and Installation
Inspect the shipping box before unpacking. Any damage should be reported to Nor-Cal Products or directly to the transportation carrier. Carefully remove
the product from the box and visually inspect it for damage. If return of the product to Nor-Cal Products should become necessary, please contact Intellisys
Customer Service to obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) Number.
NOTE: Do not discard the packing materials until the product has been inspected to your satisfaction.
Installation
To allow for proper ventilation, make sure that at least 3 inches of unobstructed space is available adjacent to all perforated
sides of the APC controller. Then, complete all cable connections as required referring to the figures and pin assignment
tables in Sections 3.1 – 3.3 of this manual. A list of pre-manufactured cable assemblies available from Nor-Cal Products
can be found in Appendix I.
CAUTION: The +15V and –15V power pins of the APC’s gauge connector are power sources
that are intended to power the system pressure gauge(s). It can supply a maximum of 700 mA.
Do not use for any other purpose and do not connect to the tool main 15V supply as the two
supplies would interfere with each other.
CAUTION: For all low voltage controller models, the Power V+ and Power V- pins of the DeviceNet
or Analog/TTL connector are directly linked to the Power V+ and Power V- pins of the Auxiliary Connector.
Make sure to only use one or the other.
NOTE: Low voltage controller models do not have a power on/off switch. Consider installing an external
power on/off switch between the DC power supply and the controller to allow for de-energizing the unit
without having to disconnect the cable.
Pre-Installation Functionality Check
Nor-Cal Products carefully ensures that every product shipped is in perfect working condition. However, it is still a good idea to
quickly check the functionality of the unit prior to installation into the vacuum system. To do so, connect the APC controller to
the valve and then to an appropriate power source. The valve will complete a 30-second initialization sequence during which
the valve plate will cycle back-and-forth a few times while the OPEN/CLOSE LEDs blink in an alternating pattern. The valve will
eventually stop in the open position. Further verification of the system can be done by toggling the “OPEN / CLOSE” switch
(if available) on the controller front panel. If the valve does not operate as described please contact Nor-Cal technical support.
WARNING: The valve plate movement presents a pinching hazard. Please keep fingers, hands or
other objects away from the valve opening and associated moving parts.
