2 / Introduction

Introduction

The ValveMate 7000 is an EFD dispense
valve controller, incorporating programmable
dispense time, digital time and air pressure
readout, microprocessor interface, small size
and universal mounting.

Other features include:

• Push-button time setting input or one­touch time programming.

• Floating decimal, providing dispense time
ranges of 0.001 to 9.999 and 00.01 to

99.99 seconds.

• Bright red LED that displays both time
setting and dispensing pressure in psi or
bar scale.

• Push-button purge feature.

• Low air-pressure alarm and End-of-Cycle
feedback signals.

The ValveMate 7000 has been designed
with the machine builder and operator in
mind. The objectives are to bring dispens­ing control close to the point of application,
and to provide the features necessary to
make setup and operation as easy and
precise as possible.

The ValveMate is easy to operate. Once
you have reviewed the features, you will
understand the benefits and the ease of
control the ValveMate provides.

As with all EFD products, the ValveMate has
been produced to exacting specifications
and thoroughly tested prior to shipment.

To obtain maximum performance from this
equipment, please read the instructions
carefully.

Specifications

The small size and adjustable mounting bracket allow for positioning of the
ValveMate close to the point of valve operation and provide convenient
access to setup and dispensing adjustment controls.

Digital readout is shown for both dispensing time and air pressure.

“On the fly” time adjustment allows adjustment of valve output while the
equipment is running. This feature eliminates the need to shut down parent
machinery to change or adjust dispense time settings.

Other features and explanations of controls are detailed in the diagrams on
pages 4 and 5.
