VCM – Valve Control Machine

IDENTIFYING THE PARTS

TOP VIEW:

1) Red LED

This Red LED is used for indicating different operation

status of VCM.

- When the LED is OFF, the system is in Normal

operation mode.

- When the LED is ON, the system is in Learn Mode for

additing/deleting devices or motor.

- When the LED is Flashing in duty cycle, the device is

out-of-order.

- When the LED is Flashing quickly, the VCM is

transmitting signals.

2) DC Jack

For connecting the DC 6V 2A power adaptor.

3) Rock Switch (3 way)

This Rock Switch is used to manually open/close the

valve control. When the switch is slid either upward

or downward and released, it will automatically return

to central position.

- Slide UPWARDS: to Open the Valve control

- In Central position: Valve control is in Stand-by mode

- Slide DOWNWARDS: to Close the Valve control

<NOTE>

" The up and down direction is marked by arrow indication on the side of VCM plastic cover.

4) Red Tack Switch

This Red Tack Switch is used for Device or Motor Learning, Removing Fault Device and Resetting

the System to Factory Default.

a) With 1 press only

it will transmit a test signal to Dialer; Red LED flashes quickly during the transmission.

¾ for one-way radio transmission: beep once

¾ for two-way radio transmission: beep once only if the panel receives confirmation from VCM

b) Press and hold for 5 secs:

for entering Device learning process

c) Press and hold for 10 secs:

for entering Motor learning process

d) Press and hold for 15 secs:

Different types of Valve Handle Adaptors are provided to fit different types of Valve Handles.

THE POWER SUPPLY VCM is powered by an AC adaptor connecting to a wall socket. Be sure to use only an adaptor with the appropriate AC voltage rating to prevent component damage. A DC 6V output and 2A adaptor is generally used to power the VCM. ♦ APPLYING THE POWER ADAPTOR: The power adaptor is applied to the VCM at factory before shipment. in the adaptor to wall socket. User is simply required to plug Step 1. From under the VCM, locate the AC adaptor connected to VCM. Step 2.

Step 3. Mount the Valve Handle Adaptor onto the “shaft” of VCM and screw tightly on the flat side of “shaft”. Valve Handle Adaptor " When mounting the Valve Handle Adaptor on “shaft”, please take care not to push right till the end of the “shaft”, a small gap (about 1mm) should be left so that the Valve Handle Adaptor does not touch the plastic case. Future tooling will be revised to overcome this drawback. Step 4.

The VCM installation is now ready for use. LEARN-IN PROCESS MOTOR LEARNING PROCESS During the Motor Learning Process, the LED will stay ON and beep in duty cycle until the learning process is finished. Step 1. Press and hold the Red Tack Switch on VCM for 10secs. 2 beeps will be performed with an interval of 10 secs. Step 2. Release the Red Tack Switch. Motor will close and open valve twice for self-testing. Step 3. If the learning process is successful, it will perform 2 beeps.

Step 1. Put the CTC-1042 into “Device +-” menu and then select “Add Device” menu. Step 2. Press the Red Tack Switch on VCM. Step 3. Refer to the operation manual of CTC-1042 under the section of “Device +-” to complete the learn-in process. " Each CTC-1040/1042 can learn upto maximum 2 VCMs. " Each VCM can learn up to 10 devices. " RS-7 devices must be learnt to VCM only. " All WS-LD must be learnt to both VCM and dialer (CTC-1040 or CTC-1042).

If this supervision signal is not received for 12 hrs, VCM will report as “out of order” and LED on VCM will flash in duty cycle to indicate device is out-of-order.

beeps. If unsuccessful, VCM sounds 4 beeps. ( Whether the self-check is successful or not, VCM will report it to CTC-1040 or CTC-1042. RF SIGNAL a) One way: (for CTC-1040) An anti-clash transmission sequence consists of two packets separated by a variable time delay. The time delay is designed to prevent clash when more than one transmitter device is transmitting at the same time. VCM manual 8 2006.08.
PAGE 9
The variable time is 5~8 seconds. b) Two way: (for CTC-1042) Each transmission will wait for its confirmation signal. The system will retry up to 8 times. c) In Learn mode: Both CTC-1040 and CTC-1042 are one-way radio communication d) In Normal mode: CTC-1040 is one way radio communication CTC-1042 is two way radio communication e) When VCM receives signals from its devices (WS-LD/RS), it will then transmit this signal to the Panel (including VCM’s own signal).

" If VCM fails to shut-off the valve successfully, VCM will sound alarm for 3 mins. During these 3 mins, if Red Tack Switch on VCM is pressed, the alarm can be stopped immediately.

FACTORY RESET Step 1. Make sure that both sources of power supply (AC adaptor and backup battery) are working normally. Step 2. Press and hold the Red Tack Switch for more than 1 sec. Step 3. Unplug the AC adaptor from VCM (without removing battery). Step 4. Hold down the Red Tack Switch for 2 more secs, then release the switch. VCM will perform 2 short beeps followed by a long beep to indicate that all the data in EEPROM has been cleared.
