11 Valves
There is no direct relationship between the location of a valve in
the valve box and the driver that controls it. This depends on
how the solenoids are wired and the actuators are plumbed.
Manual valves must be switch by hand, and are heated or
unheated.
The external valve drivers
Valve drivers 5 and 6 control a current that may be used to drive
a relay or other low- power device. Valve drivers 7 and 8 switch
a current from an external source. Electrical details are in
Table 76 on page 341.
These drivers, particularly Valve 7 and 8, may be used to control
a motor driven multiposition valve for stream selection.
All four of these drivers appear on the External Event
connector on the back of the GC.
