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. User is simply required to plug
in the adaptor to wall socket.
Step 1. From under the VCM, locate the AC adaptor connected to VCM.
Step 2. Plut the AC adaptor to wall socket.
♦ BACKUP BATTERY:
The VCM uses 1.5V x 4 alkaline batteries as its backup power source. The battery life lasts for
approximately 1 year before complete exhaustion.
<NOTE>
" The adaptor is used for daily operation, it provides power and at the same time charges the
battery. The rechargeable battery serves as a backup power source.
" The VCM can detect if the power is low. Low Battery status operates at a threshold of 5.6V.
The VCM will recognize Low Battery condition if the operating voltage <5.6V continues for 24
hours.
" In low battery status, a warning beep will be delivered every 45 secs until battery comes to
complete exhaustion.
INSTALLATION
Step 1. Fix bracket to the base of VCM and screw tightly.
Step 2. Position the bracket in alignment with pipe, then fasten them by using the screws, firmly but not
tightly so that they can still be moved or slided if necessary.

Step 3. Mount the Valve Handle Adaptor onto the “shaft” of VCM and screw tightly on the flat side of
“shaft”.
<NOTE:>
" 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. After checking to make sure that Valve Handle Adaptor is well fitted, and bracket position is correct,
tighten all the screws.
Step 5. Open the cover of VCM by unscrewing the top fixing screws.
Step 6. Insert the 4 batteries, taking care to respect correct polarity as indicated on battery compartment.
Step 7. Select the required position for the DIP Switch
ON – for working with CTC-1042 dialer (two-way radio communication)
OFF – for working with CTC-1040 dialer (one-way radio communication) or to operate VCM as
stand alone system.
Step 8. Close the VCM cover taking care to ensure that VCM LED lens is positioned directly over the LED of
the main board.
Step 9. Screw back the fixing screws.
Step 10. Plug in the power adaptor to wall socket.

OPERATION
♦ WHEN WS-LD IS TRIGGERED:
When WS-LD is triggered, it will sound an alarm and trigger VCM to shut-off the valve automatically
and send report signal to the dialer.
<NOTE:>
" 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.
" Whether the Valve shut-off is a success or failure, VCM will report the condition to dialer.
" When WS-LD condition is cleared, the valve will remain shut until it is opened again, either
remotely (by RS) or manually (by VCM’s Rock Switch).
♦ USING RS TO OPEN/SHUT THE VALVE (REMOTELY):
When RS ‘ON’ switch is pressed, VCM will open the valve.
When RS ‘OFF’ switch is pressed, VCM will shut off the valve.
<NOTE:>
" Whether the Valve open or shut-off is a success or failure, VCM will report the condition to dialer.
♦ OPEN/SHUT OF VALVE BY VCM (MANUALLY):
The Valve will be opened by sliding the VCM’s Rock Switch upwards.
The Valve will be shut by sliding the VCM’s Rock Switch downwards.
<NOTE:>
" Whether the Valve open or shut-off is a success or failure, VCM will report the condition to dialer.
REMOVING FAULT DEVICES
Step 1. Press and hold the Red Tack Switch for 15 secs.
Step 2. VCM sounds a melody tone “do-di”
Step 3. VCM will be cleared of all fault devices.
<NOTE:>
" The Fault LED will go ON to indicate an out-of-order condition. Once the fault condition has
been restored, the LED will go off automatically.
" This function should only be used when WS-LD’s faulty condition cannot be restored. This will
enable the VCM to remove the previously learnt WS-LD devices.
