Installation on Tee Handle Valves
1.
Select Clamp Mounting Kit (clamps and screws) based upon pipe/valve
size, see Mounting Configuration Table 1.
2.
Insert rubber clamp grippers into clamps, See Fig. 4.
3.
Insert screws into mounting clamp-vee, then place over pipe.
Note:
If using Blue Mounting Kit, place washer on screw before
inserting into clamp-vee.
4.
Place second clamp-vee over the screws from step 3. Then thread
hex nuts onto the screws, but do not fully tighten, (be sure hex nuts
seat properly in clamp hex recesses).
5.
Position clamp-vee assembly so that the RBVS actuator will
contact the tee-valve handle approximately ½" from the end of
the tee-handle. See Fig 4 for approximate location. Make sure the
top face of the clamp-vee assembly is parallel with the tee handle
when tightening screws.
6.
Tighten screws alternately to 30 in-lbs. (Minimum) of torque.
7.
Loosely attach "L" bracket-mounting parallel to the pipe with the
vertical edge facing the tee handle by using the 1/4-20 x 3/4" bolt
and washer out of the Red bag. Then loosely attach the bracket-
offset to the "L" bracket-mounting
8.
Attach RBVS switch enclosure to the bracket-offset with two
tamper resistant screws from the Red bag, but do not tighten fully.
See Fig. 4.
9.
place Tee handle valve in the desired position to monitor.
10. Slide loosely assembled RBVS switch enclosure to a position that
permits the actuator to contact the tee handle. Cut and remove
the plastic coating from the ball valve handle to allow the RBVS
actuator to contact and be activated by the metal of the handle.
11. Tighten "L" bracket-mounting hex bolt to 30 in-lbs. (Minimum)
of torque.
12. Remove the RBVS switch enclosure cover.
13. Slide RBVS enclosure down "L" bracket-mounting until the
housing contacts the tee-valve handle. Securely tighten the two
tamper resistant screws. This will ensure the actuator is fully
depressed.

16. Wire main switch and tamper switch (if required). If required,
17. Replace RBVS switch enclosure cover and securely tighten cover
