Section 5. Troubleshooting

5.1

Manual Valve Override

There is a manual ON/OFF lever located just below the
solenoid. If you are having a problem with the system
and want to override the electronic water Levolor
can manually open the valve by putting the lever in the
ON position. See Figure 11.
During normal operation, the lever must be in the OFF
position.
5.2

Initial Observations at Job Site

When called to a job site, make these initial
observations.
1. Proper wire usage between the controller and the
valve. (Burial-style polypropelene-jacketed solid-
core wire, at least 18-gauge.) (Same wire as the
sensor wire.)
2. Proper wire nuts at the valve connection. (Grease-
filled wire nuts or gel caps. Conventional wire
nuts filled with silicone will not work since some
silicones have acids that degrade copper wires.)
3. Sensor wire must be continuous and not spliced.
(No splices between the tips and the controller.)
4. Proper use of appropriate sensor. (Slip style for
static pipes or skim (half-moon) style for skimmer
mounts where there is no water in transit from
fountains, etc.)
5. Proper power input voltage to the box.
5.3

Test Operation of Control Unit

1. Shut power off to the control box.
2. Disconnect the sensor from the sensor wires:
a. Models K-1100, LX2, and LEV110CK/2G:
Disconnect the sensor from the orange wires in the
control box.
b. Model K-2300: Disconnect Sensor I from the
yellow wire with the blue stripe and the yellow
common wire in the control box. Disconnect
Sensor II from the yellow wire with the red stripe
and the yellow common wire in the control box.
3. Disconnect the valve from the valve wires, making
sure they do not touch each other or the power
ground.
a. Models K-1100, LX2, and LEV110CK/2G:
Disconnect the valve from the blue wires in the
control box.

b. Model K-2300: Disconnect Valve I from the
blue wires in the control box and disconnect Valve
II from the red wires in the control box.
4. Restore power to the control box and observe the
operation. The control box is working if steps 5 - 9
occur.

5. The Power light turns green.
6. The Sensor light(s) turn yellow.
7. Send voltage to the valve(s).
a. Models K-1100, LX2, and LEV110CK/2G:
Twenty seconds after the Sensor light turns yellow,
the Filling light turns green, sending 24VAC to the
valve on the blue wires.
b. Model K-2300: Twenty seconds after the Sensor
I light turns yellow, the Filling I light turns green,
sending 24 VAC to Valve I on the blue wires.
Twenty seconds after the Sensor II light turns
yellow, the Filling II light turns green, sending
24 VAC to Valve II on the red wires.
c. Use a volt meter to confirm 24 VAC at wires in
the control box.
8. Connect sensor wires:
a. Models K-1100, LX2, and LEV110CK/2G:
Connect the orange wires in the control box
together and the yellow Sensor light turns off
immediately. Twenty seconds later the green
Filling light will turn off.
b. Model K-2300: Connect the yellow wire
with the blue stripe for Sensor I and the yellow
common wire together in the control box, and
the yellow Sensor I light turns off immediately.
Twenty seconds later, the green Filling I light
turns off. Connect the yellow wire with the red
stripe for Sensor II and the yellow common wire
in the control box. The Sensor II light turns off
immediately. Twenty seconds later the Filling II
light turns off.
9. After the green Filling light(s) turn off, use an AC
voltmeter to confirm the following:
a. Models K-1100, LX2, and LEV110CK/2G:
0 voltage at the blue wires in the control box.
b. Model K-2300: 0 voltage at the blue wires for
Valve I and the red wires for Valve II.
