Evolution of BC PREMIUM Product Offer:

Weatherproof range: OA / AS / BS become SQ

In 2014, BERNARD CONTROLS reorganizes its BC PREMIUM Weatherproof product offer and
gathers all product references for quarter-turn under the name SQ1. Moreover, BC takes advantage of
this naming evolution to propose some features as standard on these products:

- Non-rotating handwheel: in case of loss of power supply or of a faulty control system, the
presence of a handwheel enables to easily manually drive the valve to any required position.
This handwheel does not rotate during electric operation on all SQ models.

- 4 switches (relays) for travel limitation & signaling.

- Anti-condensation heater.

On the other hand, as a BC PREMIUM product range, SQ models are available with three levels of
controls — SWITCH, INTEGRATED (MINIGAM/INTEGRAL/POSIGAM), INTELLI+® — and with number of options
such as IP68 – 2m/24h or polyurethane finish on SWITCH & INTEGRATED controls (standard for INTELLI+®).
More information in our new SQ catalogue A101/07. Your sales contact can also provide any required
support for adaptation of specifications according to your needs.

For the rest of the year, existing customers can thus order both OA/AS/BS models and SQ models.
However, please note that, from January, 1st 2015 onwards, all orders have to be made for SQ types1.

For your convenience, you will find below the list of correspondence between existing OA/AS/BS
references and new SQ references.
