Introduction

The ValveMate 7040 provides easy adjustment of valve output for maximum end-user convenience and efficiency. Designed for use with the 781S Series spray valves, the ValveMate 7040 features an adjustable nozzle airflow regulator and a microprocessor-based timed air-pressure output for controlling valve ON time. The ValveMate 7040 is simple to use and will operate many millions of cycles without maintenance.

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.

“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.
