Introduction
IMPORTANT: The primary control of deposit size is the valve open time. The ValveMate 8040 provides easy access
and “on the fly” adjustment of valve open time.
The ValveMate 8040 is an EFD spray valve controller, incorporating programmable dispense time, digital time
readout, four independent solenoid drivers and input / output communication with host machine PLCs.
Other features include:
• Push-button time setting input or onetouch time programming.
• Floating decimal, providing dispense time ranges of 0.001 to 99.9 seconds.
• Bright red LED display.
• Push-button purge feature.
• Low air-pressure optional tank low level detection, or other alarm detection devices.
• End-of-Cycle feedback signal.
The ValveMate 8040 has been designed with the machine builder and operator in mind. The objectives are to bring
spray valve 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.
