3. Place the upper bracket and lower
bracket on the valve, as shown, and
loosely tighten the screws.
4. Position the bracket so that it is
aligned with the pivot point of the ball
valve, by visualizing a line between the
tab slot and the pivot point, as shown.
5. Remove the screw from the tab slot,
then attach the Valve Robot to the
bracket.
6. Keeping the center axis of the Valve
Robot’s motor shaft aligned with the ball
valve shaft, as indicated by the red
dashed line, reinsert and tighten the tab
slot screw.

1. The Valve Controller will appear offline
until it is turned on and it wirelessly
connects to a YoLink hub. Turn on the
Valve Controller by pressing the SET
button until you see the LED blink (red,
then green, indicates the Valve Controller
2 has connected to the cloud).
2. In the app, verify the Valve Controller
is indicated as online.
3. Connect the valve controller’s valve
control cable to the control cable of the
Bulldog Valve Robot.
4. Connect the valve controller’s valve
status cable to the valve status cable of
the Bulldog Valve Robot.
5. If using the power adapter, and before
plugging in the power adapter to the AC
power outlet, connect the valve control-
ler’s 12VDC input cable to the power
adapter cable. Plug in the power adapter
at the wall outlet.
6. Test the Valve Controller 2 and
Bulldog Valve Robot by pressing the SET
button on the controller, and by watching
the closing or opening action of the
Bulldog and the ball valve. The valve
should open and close completely (verify
no water is flowing through the valve
while closed). Also, listen for an even
sound of the motor operating. If the
Bulldog sound increases or appears to
be straining, this may indicate incorrect
or sub-optimal Bulldog installation
and/or a mechanical issue with the ball
valve (such as too stiff or too much
resistance to turning). Return to section
K, if needed.
7. Test the operation of the Valve
Controller 2 from the app. From the
Rooms or Favorite screen, locate your
Valve Controller 2, tap the image, then
tap Close to turn off the water, and tap
Open to turn it on.
Refer to the full installation and user
guide to complete the setup of your
Valve Controller 2 and Bulldog Valve
Robot.
Preparing for installation:
Determine where you will install your
Valve Controller 2. Typically, it should be
wall-mounted, no farther away from the
Bulldog Valve Robot than the length of
the cables allow (if you have purchased
optional extension cables, the valve
controller can be installed at a location
separate from the Bulldog Valve Robot).
Note: use of the 12VDC power adapter is
optional. If not used, batteries are
required. If the power adapter is used,
batteries are optional.
Determine how you will mount the valve
controller to the wall, and have hardware
and anchors appropriate for the wall
surface on hand.
1. Mark the location of the hole for each
of the valve controller's three mounting
points on the wall. Install anchors, if
applicable, per the anchor manufactur-
er's instructions. Insert the screw for the
topmost mounting point, leaving enough
space to hang the controller.
2. Hang the controller on this top screw,
then insert the two remaining screws
into their respective anchors or
locations.
3. Tighten all three screws, ensuring the
valve controller is secured to the wall.

If it is not possible to align the parts as
shown, or if the bracket can not be
secured to the ball valve, consider
rotating the ball valve handle 180°. After
removing the Bulldog, this can be done
by removing the ball valve handle, and
then reinstalling it on the other side.
Reinstall the Bulldog (on the other side
of the ball valve) and check if alignment
is better in this position.
7. Securely tighten the two screws on
the bracket. Gently tug on the Bulldog,
and tighten the screws until the Bulldog
is firmly held in place by the bracket and
tab screw.
8. Remove the nuts and collars from the
two handle supporting bolts, as shown.
9. Place the bolts in the slot on the
rocker arm, with one on each side of the
valve handle, as shown.
10. Put the collars back on the bolts.
Next, while holding the bolts and collar
pieces in place, attach the bottom
supporting bracket, as shown. Then,
attach and loosely tighten the nuts to the
bolts. Finally, position both bolts and
collars so that they are snug against
each side of the valve lever.
1. Select the appropriate bracket for your
application. The appropriate bracket fit
over the ball valve, and will allow for
clamping securely to it when the screws
are tightened. If the bracket does not fit
over the ball valve or seems to be too
loose, use the other bracket.
2. Loosen the two screws, to separate
the bracket into two pieces, as shown.
