The type of packaging will be selected according to the mode of transport. If not separately negotiated, the
packaging will be made in accordance with the packaging directive of company Walther Systemtechnik
GmbH. This directive complies with HPE Packaging Regulations.
3.2 Tasks before Transport
The following tasks have to be fulfilled before the actual transport.
Disconnect energy supply lines
Extreme care has to be applied when transporting the incomplete machine and its individual parts in order to
avoid damages from external impacts or careless on- and off-loading. Depending on type and duration of
transport, appropriate transport securing devices have to be used. The incomplete device itself will be adjusted and leveled by appropriate fastening elements.
4 Functional Description
The MPP-Speed Micro Point Pulse Valve is an incomplete, electrically controlled application device designed for the application of materials such as greases, paints, oils, etc. If the power supply is cut off or fails,
the spring closes the needle. The medium is transported to the valve either out of a pressure tank or a pump.
4.1 Functional Principle
By using hard materials it is possible to achieve little opening strokes of only a few hundredths of a millimeter
in size. Also, an extremely high repeatability in the range of thousandths millimeters can be realized.
The MPP-Speed is electromagnetically operated. The medium flows around the nozzle sphere. The closing
spring acts on the mobile anchor with a valve ball. When there is a current feed through the valve coil, the
mobile anchor with the valve ball is magnetically pulled by the magnetic field of the stationary anchor. The
micro valve opens and the medium emerges. After pulsing, the nozzle is closed again by the closing spring.

4.4 Type Label
The type designation has been lasered near the material connection. Also the serial number has been
marked in this area.
5 Installation and Initial Start-up
The valves can be installed in any position. The distance to the surface to be applied with the medium
depends on the spray pattern.
Vibrations of the valve caused by fast intermitting cycles require solid and tight installation. Machine vibrations to the valves should be avoided.
5.1 Hose Connection
The material hose will be connected as follows:
5.2 Interfaces
Rev. 1.4
Assembly Instructions - Micro Point Pulse Valve MPP-SPEED
Do not point the jet at people. The wearing of eye protection is strongly recommended.
The valve must not be operated without a nozzle – it could be destroyed!
WARNING
Danger caused by flammable, harmful fluid. Always follow the safety instructions on the
container or the safety data sheet for the fluid.
IMPORTANT
A plant-specific setting is required for an optimal adjustment of the application pattern.
Starting values from laboratory tests can be used as a basis. However, these may
need to be adjusted for the specific plant. A combination of the following parameters is
necessary: nozzle size, opening time, opening stroke, material pressure and temperature (if applicable).
6 Operation
6.1 General Information
This device may only be operated if the safety-related equipment is permanently effective and not suspended during operation or altered in its intended effectiveness.
According to the individual application, up to 400 tacts per second can be reached under appropriate
operating conditions (material pressure, medium, length of hoses). The valve works starting with an opening
time from 400µs upwards. The opening time (in real time) must correspond with the theoretical value, in
order to enable constant opening and closing.
It is harmless to leave fluid in the valve during longer standstills if system stays under pressure (no
connection to outside air).
Rev. 1.4
Assembly Instructions - Micro Point Pulse Valve MPP-SPEED
If high material pressures are required, the safety regulations of the trade association
must always be observed.
CAUTION
The “Peak- and Hold-Function“ must be used for all MPP-Speed valves. Otherwise, the
valve coil overheats and is destroyed.
(Impulse time = 400µs Holding voltage in % = 12)
6.3 Electrical Controls
The MPP-Speed pulsing valve works with a voltage of 24V DC and a material pressure of up to 50 bar. The
pulse valve is controlled via a control module (WLVC) (available as an accessory). ). To obtain a consistent
application pattern, the material supply must be kept constant.
In order to keep the heat development for the little opening times of the MPP Speed at a minimum and to
avoid overheating of the solenoid coil, controlling is done via the “Peak- and Hold-“procedure. The pulsing
valve is precisely opened with a temporarily increased peak current. After opening, a low holding current is
enough to keep the valve open. Due to the very small opening times and the “Peak- and Hold-Function“, it is
necessary to additionally integrate the WLVC control (if the existing control cannot fulfill this function).
Rev. 1.4
Assembly Instructions - Micro Point Pulse Valve MPP-SPEED
Before starting any maintenance or repair work, ensure that all air-operated tools are
depressurized and disconnected from the air supply.
Before opening the spray valve it must be disconnected from the air and fluid supply.
Otherwise, ejected components can cause injuries.
7 Taking out of Operation
7.1 Short Interruption
A short interruption (15 min and more) requires a clear-spraying.
7.2 Long-term Interruption
The following has to be observed for a long-term interruption of the system / device:
Disconnect material connection from pressure
7.3 Final Shutdown of System / Device
The following will be observed for a final shutdown of the system / device:
Clean pulse valve with a special thinner.
8 Maintenance and Repair
8.1 General
The MPP-Speed Micro Point Pulse Valves are high precision tools. Always keep clean and observe minimum instructions to maintain a long life of the valve. We recommend lubricating moveable parts regularly
and greasing threads, especially the nozzle threads, when replacing or cleaning the nozzle. Always use
clean and filtered material only. Maintenance also depends on the individual operating conditions and the
type of media used.
Rev. 1.4
Assembly Instructions - Micro Point Pulse Valve MPP-SPEED
Only use soft brushes for outside cleaning of the nozzle tips. Never use metal tools
with sharp edges; see also Article No. 979444.
CAUTION
There is the potential of seriously damaging or destroying the nozzle.
CAUTION
Ensure that the valve is depressurized and disconnected from the air supply. Unscrew nozzle and deposit it in solvent if contaminated. Reinsert and screw tight cleaned nozzle.
.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the O-ring at the upper part of the valve is not lost or damaged. If
necessary, slightly grease the nozzle shaft. The sealing ring is inserted below the
material connection.
8.2 Cleaning
Wash device thoroughly after use to remove residues and dirt.
Free-Spraying of Nozzle
Should the nozzle of the MPP-Speed be clogged by dirt or changes in the medium, there are several options
for re-enabling proper functions.
Increase the pulse frequency
Increasing the pulse frequency can remove solids and particles from the nozzle which can then be pulsed
off.
Example: opening time valve = 500µs, break time valve = 3000µs, number of shots 50
Rinsing with solvents
Rinsing with solvents will remove dried contamination from the nozzle. The effect can be enhanced by
simultaneously increasing the pulse frequency.
Ultra-sonic bath
Heavy contamination in the nozzle can be removed by placing the nozzle itself in an ultra-sonic bath. For this
purpose, the system has to be depressurized so that there is no more media pressure at the pulse valve.
Then unscrew the nozzle from the valve body and place it in the ultra-sonic bath.
Cleaning with a cleaning needle
You have to be extremely careful when cleaning with the cleaning needle (part of the cleaning kit). Carefully
and slowly insert the needle into the boring of the nozzle until you can feel a slight resistance.

IMPORTANT
First check all supply lines for connection and serviceability.
IMPORTANT
When clogged by cured medium, the nozzle can be cleared again by changing the Peek
time (normally 400µs, change to 600µs), or respectively the Hold voltage (from 12% to
20%). Additionally select several sequences with increased frequency in the selection field
WLVC “Folgeschuss/sequence shots”.
The nozzle can be also bathed in Acetone for several hours to clear clogging or in cases of
undefined dosing.
