Basic E-Valve

Basic E-Valve includes a motorized seacock and a Control Module. OPEN VALVE and CLOSE VALVE functions are commanded by touching the buttons on the module, and valve position is indicated with red (closed) or green (open) LEDs. The Control Module alerts you to the presence of high water level at that specific E-Valve location, and includes provisions for automatic operation (order cable #11-2038-20 separately). 

E-Valve may be connected to GROCO LCD-5 touchscreen, to a NMEA2000 backbone (screen by others), or may be operated from a PLC. Contact GROCO for details.                    

LCD-5 TOUCH SCREEN MONITOR

Wireless communication between LCD-5 and each Control Module allows E-Valve to operate independent from NMEA2000, offering full control and monitoring from the helm for all E-Valves on your boat. Safety and convenience features such as OPEN ALL, CLOSE ALL, and EXERCISE ALL are provided on the touch screen, and visual indication of high water level in a specific E-Valve location is provided.  Set-up options allow individual E-Valves to open and close automatically or to be locked (ie: sanitation systems or systems under maintenance). E-Valve icons are color coded to indicate at a glance whether the seacock is open (green), closed (red), locked (blue), automatic (yellow), or if there is a problem with a specific valve (orange). 

5 vessel plans are offered to show your boat type, and valves can be named (ie: Port Engine, Generator).  Icons can be moved on the screen to show their relative position on the vessel plan.
