Introduction
The included control panel makes it possible to electrically actu-
ate Vetus ball valves by remote control.
All electrically operated ball valves are available in 12 or 24 volt
versions.
Warning
In order to prevent personal injury, disconnect all electric
mains prior to installation and maintenance.
Installation
Ball valves up to and including the G 3 model are equipped with
a plug-in control element which is easily detachable to facilitate
assembly.
Make sure that the space in which the ball valves, including their
control element, are set up is dry and easy to reach. The ambi-
ent temperature should be between -10 °C and +50 °C.
The ball valve may be installed in any position. The system of
protection of the electrical control element is IP 65, provided
that the swivel and the flange are correctly assembled.
To allow space for the control panel, saw an opening of
40x21 mm (1.6"x0.8") into a partition. The centre-to-centre dis-
tance of the screws is 64 mm (2.5").
Electrical installation
Ascertain whether the voltage listed on the electrical control ele-
ment matches the on-board voltage.
Then connect the electrical control element of the ball valve in
accordance with the electrical circuit diagram.
The 'plus' cable (+) should be equipped with a main switch and
a fuse (for details concerning the value, please see the follow-
ing table).

Insert a 5-wire cable with a minimum wire diameter of 0.22 mm
(AWG24) between the control panel and the ball valve.
The limit switches are set to a constant value of 90°. This setting
should not be changed!
The ball valve and the electrical control element belong togeth-
er. Never exchange any of these components by installing a dif-
ferent ball valve or another control element!
Maintenance
The drive is lubricated for lifelong operation under normal oper-
ating conditions.

Operation
• Activate the main switch.
• To open:
Push the switch on the control panel to the right. After sever-
al seconds (12 to 15 seconds, depending on the type), the
right-hand lamp will light up to confirm the opening of the ball
valve.
• To close:
Push the switch on the control panel to the left. After several
seconds (12 to 15 seconds, depending on the type), the left-
hand lamp will light up to show that the ball valve is now
closed.
Warning
Avoid leaving the ball valve in a partially open position.
So never set the switch in another position before the
appropriate light, which indicates that the ball valve is com-
pletely open or closed, is lit.
• Turn off the main switch if you are leaving.
Manual operation
If needed, the ball valve may also be opened and closed man-
ually.
Ball valves up to the G 3 model are equipped with a plug-in con-
trol element which should first be detached for this purpose.
Then open or close the ball valve using an appropriate key.
Malfunction
• If the control element of the ball valve has been out of use for
prolonged periods of time, the ball of the valve may get
stuck. In this case the ball valve should be manually opened
and closed several times. For details please see 'Operation ,
manual operation'.
• In the case of a power failure the ball valve may be opened
and closed by hand. For details please see 'Operation , man-
ual operation'.
• If the indicator light of the switch on the control panel fails to
light up within the usual time, check for obstacles possibly
preventing the ball valve from opening or closing.
When removal of the obstacle is unsuccessful, swap the
'plus' (+) wire and the 'minus' (-) wire; the motor will then
turn in the opposite direction. Remove the obstacle and
reconnect the 'plus' (+) and the 'minus' (-) wires in their nor-
mal positions.
• The drive is equipped with a thermal overload protection.
Overheating of the engine will trigger this device.
Alleviate the problem. Allow the engine to cool down by
switching it off. Turn it on again after about one minute.
