Atlas Solenoid Control Module 230v

£230.00

The Atlas SCM Solenoid Module is designed to connect a NORMALLY CLOSED line voltage solenoid valve to the controller. It is possible to use a 12V or 24V normally closed solenoid by replacing the AC power cord. Note that the maximum contact rating is 240VAC (50-60Hz) / 30VDC / 2A.

General Conditions for Installation

Step 1) Find a suitable location on the wall for the solenoid module. The module must be installed close enough to the controller, or the UV sensor to be able to plug in the male IEP connector. The module must also be installed close enough to the actual solenoid valve and this distance will be dependent on the cord length of the particular solenoid  valve that is used.
Step 2) Pick a location for the solenoid valve and install as per the manufacturer’s directions. The solenoid module requires bare leads, so if the solenoid cable has a plug attached, remove the plug and strip the wires to a suitable length.

Step 1) Make sure the solenoid valve cable is NOT plugged into the electrical outlet. Insert the solenoid valve cable through the centre hole of the middle strain relief. Connect the three electrical wires to the terminal block that is marked “SOLENOID” (see Fig. 1 Pg 5 Modules Manual). Connect the ground wire in the position marked “GND”, the line voltage wire in the position marked “L1” and the neutral wire in the position marked “N”. Typical wire colour configurations are marked directly on the circuit board to the left of the SOLENOID terminal block to aid in this process (see Fig.2 Pg 5 Modules Manual) If you are unsure of the correct wiring configuration for you particular solenoid valve, please contact an approved electrical contractor. Once all the line voltage connections have been made, tighten the strain relief nut to secure the cable to the solenoid module.

Step 2) Plug the solenoid valve into the applicable electrical outlet. At this stage, the functionality of the solenoid valve can be tested by pressing the solenoid test button located on the upper left of the circuit board. Manually depressing (and holding) this button will complete the electrical circuit and will open the normally closed solenoid valve. You should be able to hear the activation of the solenoid valve at this stage to ensure the valve is functioning properly (see Fig. 3 Modules Manual).

Step 3) Make sure your UV controller is unplugged from the power source. Once all these connections have been made, affix the male IEP plug of the solenoid module cable into the IEP port on the controller, or any other available IEP port such as the UV sensor, 4-20 mA module or remote alarm module. It does not matter which IEP port any module is attached to, as long as they are attached.
