1.6 Intended Use
Use of the Intelivalve Solenoid Pinch Valve products other than the intended use stated below
can result in protection impairment, injury to the user and is strictly prohibited.
The Intelivalve Solenoid Pinch Valve product is used to pinch, or seal off flexible tubing within
manufacturer conditions and specifications. The product is a set of components that are
designed and embedded into systems or equipment where fluidic control and management is
required. Each Intelivalve pinch valve model is specified for operation with different size tubing
ranges. Each pinch valve is designed for 2‐way operation being fully open, or closed. In a closed
state, power is not needed. To achieve an open state power is supplied to the pinch valve. Each
pinch valve is designed for panel mounting where the top head portion is exposed for user
interaction. Portions below the panel mount, along with cables and electronics are meant to be
embedded within equipment or systems where physical user access is limited.
The Acrosense FCP‐A electronic controller board is designed for powering and operation of up to
two (2) Intelivalve Solenoid Pinch Valves. The cable set provided provides power and data
communications between the electronic controller board and either one (1) or two (2) pinch
valves.
The combination of Intelivalve Pinch Valve with the Acrosense FCP‐A controller board and cable
set enables several technological features to be performed including; adaptive pulse and hold
power management (PWM), valve open and closed state sensing, presence or non‐presence of
loaded tubing, electronic noise dampening, and life cycle usage and diagnostic failure feedback.
Any use other than that described herein, or design modification of manufacturer’s product
without expressed written authorization is strictly prohibited. User acknowledges and assumes
all liabilities outside manufacturer’s intended use.

1.7 Unpacking and Installation
Intelivalve Solenoid Pinch Valves are packaged in either foam fitting molds, or bubble wrap and
placed inside appropriately sized cardboard boxes. Boxes are branded and labeled with
company and packaged product information.
Acrosense FCP‐A electronic controller boards and cable sets are packaged in electrostatic plastic
bags, and then placed into foam fitted molds which are then enclosed in cardboard boxing.
Boxes are branded and labeled with company information and packaged product information.
Intelivalve Solenoid Pinch Valves may be carefully removed from their packaging and placed on
a leveled surface for installation.
Acrosense FCP‐A boards and cable sets should be removed and handled by the user using
hooked up to an electrostatic grounding cable or station. It is recommended that the boards be
securely mounted in an enclosure to protect from dust, moisture and physical contact.
FCP‐A mounted in an Enclosure Use of Grounding Strap
Installation of either the Intelivalve Solenoid Pinch Valve or the Acrosense FCP‐A board may be
done in a horizontal or vertical axis plane. Pinch valves should be aligned and mounted into a
electrically grounded panel. Panel mounting screws supplied by the user should then be used to
secure the pinch valve and compress the mounting seal into a permanent fixed position for
operation.

Exposure to any direct fluids or vapors should be strictly avoided. At no point are any of the
Intelivalve or its supporting components designed to be submerged into any fluid whatsoever.
Tube loading must be done with caution. The valve is to be actuated electronically to open.
With hands at a safe distance apart hold tubing firmly and position in front and above tube slot.
With valve open move tubing above tube entry slot and pull down into valve head making sure
to keep fingers free of pinch area. Once tubing is successfully loaded removed hands from
tubing.
Ready to Load Tube Tube Properly Loaded
Refer to the following cable hook up guide and connection details below for installation of
cables.

1.9 Cleaning and Maintenance
Intelivalve Solenoid Pinch Valves are designed for normal spray down sterilization procedures
and include internal splash seals that prevent fluid spray penetration. Normal biological
sterilization procedures can be done to the exposed valve head surface areas that come in
contact with the tubing (i.e. tube slot area).
Some common sterilization solutions or methods that can be spray used at appropriate
concentrations are:
Ethanol (3‐5%)
Methanol (3‐5%)
Iso‐Propyl Alcohol (3‐5%)
Hydrogen Peroxide (3‐5%)
Ammonia (3‐5%)
Bleach
UV radiation exposure not exceeding 15 minutes
With the authorization and training by Acro Associates, if routine maintenance outside of
normal use is required for technical reasons, then an operator will be permitted to access
certain areas of the product to perform limited maintenance in a safe, guided manner. This
requires Acro Associates to train and certify that the user has been informed on how to access
limited areas for safe maintenance.
1.10 Troubleshooting

In the event of pinch valve failure, the Acrosense FCP‐A controller board will provide a variety of
flashing LED combinations that can provide the user with feedback.
