How to switch a three-way valve to manual mode

How to switch a three-way valve from automatic to manual mode, and how to switch it from manual to automatic mode?
Could you explain it in more detail? ? ?
I don’t know what model the valves of yours are. But that’s how most three-way valves are converted to manual (automatic). (1) There is a manual-to-automatic shift lever behind or beside the handwheel. (2) Moving the handle up or down will change its automatic state. (3) Note: When switching from manual to automatic mode, the control circuit (i.e., the regulator) should be set to manual mode. Otherwise, it may not be possible to make any changes; worse still, accidents could occur that result in injuries to people. If the handle cannot be moved upward (or downward) when changing it from manual to automatic mode, simply turn the handwheel appropriately.
Three-way valves are generally used in pipelines, so solenoid valves are typically employed to control the valves associated with these three-way valves. The solenoid valve operates a pneumatic or hydraulic actuator, which in turn moves the three-way valve. Therefore, the switching between automatic and manual operation is achieved by making changes in the control circuit. A switch can be added to the control circuit to determine which mode of control should be used. I’m not sure if this answer meets your requirements; we use this type of three-way valve for gas recovery purposes here.
