Setup

Ground the System

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

To reduce the risk of a fire, explosion,
and serious injury, proper electrical
grounding of every part of your system is
essential. Read the warning section,
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD, on
page 4 and follow the grounding
instructions below.

The following grounding instructions are minimum
requirements for a basic dispensing system. Your
system may include other equipment or objects which
must be grounded. Check your local electrical code for
detailed grounding instructions for your area and type
of equipment. Your system must be connected to a
true earth ground.

1. Pump: ground the pump by connecting a ground

wire and clamp as described in your separate
pump instruction manual.

2. Automatic metering valve: ground the metering
valve by connecting it to a properly grounded fluid
hose and pump.

Installation

NOTE: Read this manual thoroughly before installing

the automatic metering valve.

The metering valve has a tapped hole for mounting,
making it ideal for automatic systems and for use in
multiple manifold high production operations. The
valve can be supplied by any standard Graco pump.

1. Inspect the metering valve for shipping damage. If
damage is found, notify the carrier immediately.

2. Attach the meter to its mounting fixture by means
of the 7/16–20 tapped mounting hole in the valve
body (1). Keep in mind that the height of the valve
must be adjustable so either the part or the valve
can retract at the same instant that the valve shuts
off.

3. Connect the actuating air supply (minimum 80
psi/0.55 MPa/5.5 bar) from a three-way, normally
closed air valve to the 1/8 npt(f) air inlet. Cycle the
valve. Observe the action of the needle valve (6)
and the spring (23, not present on Part No.
C02078 AMV) through the vent hole in the valve
body (1).

3. Fluid hoses: use only electrically conductive fluid
hoses.

4. Fluid supply container: ground according to the
local code.

5. All solvent pails used when flushing: ground ac­cording to local code. Use only metal pails, which
are conductive, placed on a grounded surface. Do
not place the pail on a non-conductive surface,
such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts the
grounding continuity.

310543 5

Operation

Pressure Relief Procedure

WARNING

INJECTION HAZARD

The system pressure must be manually
relieved to prevent the system from

starting or spraying accidentally. Fluid
under high pressure can be injected through the
skin and cause a serious injury. To reduce the risk
of an injury from injection, splashing fluid, or mov­ing parts, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
whenever you:

 are instructed to relieve the pressure,
 stop dispensing,
 check or service any of the system equipment,
 or install or clean the nozzle.

1. Shut off the fluid supply line to the automatic
metering valve.

2. Close the bleed-type master air valve (required in
your system) to shut off the air to the automatic
metering valve.

An air operated spool valve directs pressurized fluid to
either side of a floating piston. Shot size is easily and
quickly changed by simply lengthening or shortening
the piston stroke (see Adjusting the Valve).

At its maximum of 4 cc of moderate viscosity fluid, the
valve will dispense up to 15 shots per minute. Lower
viscosities or smaller shots permit even faster opera­tion.

A special snuffer action at the end of the dispensing
cycle draws fluid back, preventing dripping or stringing.

Adjusting the Valve

1. Connect the fluid supply line to the fluid inlet or to
the external threads of the boss (C02021 only).

2. Gradually apply fluid pressure while cycling the
valve. Increase pressure until the desired dispens­ing rate is attained and all air is purged from the
fluid supply line.

NOTE: To purge air from the fluid supply line, hold the
valve higher than the fluid source with the hose on a
gentle incline and cycle the valve repeatedly.

3. Repeatedly actuate the automatic metering valve
until no fluid flows.

4. Open the pump drain valve to help relieve fluid
pressure in the pump, hose, and automatic meter­ing valve. Actuating the valve to relieve pressure
may not be sufficient. Have a container ready to
catch the drainage.

5. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to
dispense again.

6. If you think that the valve nozzle or fluid hose is
completely clogged or that pressure has not been
fully relieved after following the steps above, very
slowly loosen the hose end coupling and relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen the coupling
completely. Clear the nozzle or hose obstruction.

How the Metering Valve Operates

The metering valve is an automatic, air-operated,
single-acting valve for dispensing accurately metered
amounts of fluid repeatedly. The valve can dispense
from 0.2 cc to 4 cc of fluid, with a viscosity range from
3000 to 1 million centipoise.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure at left.

3. Relieve the pressure.

4. Install a suitable nozzle in the fluid outlet of the
retainer (2). See page 17 for available nozzle
sizes.

5. Turn the nut (8) counterclockwise to unlock. Turn
the retainer (2) counterclockwise until it engages
the stop screw (7) but does not hinder the free
sliding action of the needle valve (6).

NOTE: Adjusting the retainer to the extreme open
position may cause the valve to malfunction due to
cocking of internal components.

6. Adjust the shot size by turning the retainer clock­wise for less fluid, counterclockwise for more fluid.

NOTE: The valve must be cycled and adjusted simul­taneously when attempting to reduce shot size.

Troubleshooting

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury whenever you
are instructed to relieve pressure, always follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure on page 6.

1. Relieve the pressure.

2. Check all possible problems and solutions before
disassembling pump.

Problem

Metering valve fails to dispense
when actuator is tripped.
