in the desired location.
➁ Input Power. Check the voltage label on the input
voltage selector cartridge to ensure voltage is set
properly. To change the voltage, remove the voltage
selector from the cartridge and rotate so correct
voltage shows through cartridge window. Reinstall
cartridge and snap into position. Install power cord.
➂ Initiate Connection. The VALVEMATE
be initiated by application of 5 to 24 VDC to the (+)
and (-) terminals, or closure of mechanical contacts
across the (+) and (-) terminals. If a solid state
device is used for the 5 to 24 VDC initiation, a relay
must be used with the relay contacts providing the
closure. (The connector supplied with the unit can
be used for either configuration.) As an alternate
method, connection can be initiated with a standard
EFD foot pedal #2015A (not supplied) plugged into
the receptacle.

➃ Air Input Connection. Connect the VALVEMATE
6000 to plant air by first installing the EFD five-micron
filter regulator (#2000F755) to your air supply. Install
the air tee with barb fitting (#1116) in the output of
the filter regulator. A 10-ft 1/4" OD air line is supplied.
Using the barb fitting supplied, connect one end to the
#1116 air tee. Connect the other end of the air line by
pushing it firmly into the air input connector on the
VALVEMATE 6000
™
.
Set the pressure at the #2000F755 filter regulator to
70 psi (4.8 bar).
➄ Control Air Output. Push the male quick-connect on
the valve air hose into the air output fitting on the back
of the controller and turn clockwise to lock.
Valve Setup. Follow the setup instructions in the EFD
dispense valve operating manual.
Operational Test. Place a container under the valve
outlet. Turn on air and power. Press the PURGE button
until fluid fills the line and flows from the valve outlet. The
system is now ready for operation.
