How to Use an IC Card Smart HVAC Valve?

An IC card smart HVAC valve is a new type of HVAC valve that has become popular in recent years. It outperforms ordinary HVAC valves with more and comprehensive functions—it can not only open and close the valve at scheduled times but also automatically shut off when the user is in arrears, making it more convenient to use and manage.

So, how exactly should this new type of IC card smart HVAC valve be used?

The answer is actually very simple: after the valve is installed, you only need to complete the account activation process to start using it. Once activated, the IC card smart HVAC valve can only be opened by swiping the user card.

The process of purchasing heating is also straightforward. Users just need to place their user card (whether it’s for the first heating purchase or a card that has been used for previous purchases) on the radio frequency (RF) induction area of the water meter, and the corresponding information will be displayed.

If users want to check their heating usage status regularly, they only need to place the user card on the RF induction area of the valve to wake up the LCD screen. At this point, the valve will close automatically, and then the parameters will be displayed on the LCD screen. Generally, the timing and purchased heating quantity of the IC card smart HVAC valve are calculated in hours.

After confirming the information, users only need to swipe the user card again, and the valve will open automatically—it’s extremely simple.

However, during use, special attention must be paid to the following points:

The installation location of the control valve should be ensured to be free from water immersion, and it should be kept away from direct sunlight, excessively low ambient temperatures, and electromagnetic or chemical pollution in the surrounding environment.

During installation, the side with the marked text should be facing outward.

If there is a heat meter, the control valve should be installed at the downstream end of the heat meter.

By paying attention to these details, the valve can have a longer service life.
