Elektrogas proof of closure devices use a two-tone LED as a visual indicator. Green means this valve is closed.<\/li><li>Safety shut-off valves are normally closed. Power must be applied to open the valve.<\/li><li>When power is applied, the copper coil becomes an electromagnet. This model has a blue LED to indicate power is applied.<\/li><li>Once magnetized, the shuttle rises against the force of the inlet pressure, and the force of the spring.<\/li><li>The valve opens, allowing gas to flow through the system.<\/li><li>When power is removed, the force of the spring closes the valve in less than one second.<\/li><li>Valve tightness is aided by the inlet pressure.
