How it works

Mode 1

Valve testing

Connect the valve to the adapter, insert it into the VT1 end-plate and set the mode selector to Test. Each coil (2A, 2B, 1B, 1A) is checked individually — a green LED lights when its resistance is in range.

Mode 2

Driving the motor

Pick a direction with the direction switch and set the mode to Drive. The tool pulses ~210×/second — roughly 20 seconds to fully open or close an LGK-09 valve.
