HANDBOOK AUTOMATE YOUR VALVES WITH JJ PRODUCTS A new feature of this range is a motor with Brushless technology, which is more efficient and therefore longer-lasting. It is marketed in the format J4C S for the multi-voltage range spanning from 24-240 VDC / VAC and in format J4C B for 12 VDC / VAC. It also includes the possibility of incorporating all the options, such as our DPS (Digital Positioner System) and BSR (Battery System Return) kits, which have been designed for this series.
