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.

Nordson EFD Product Safety Statement
The safety messages that follow have a CAUTION level hazard.
Failure to comply may result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION
READ MANUAL
Read manual for proper use of this equipment. Follow all safety instructions. Task- and equipment-
specific warnings, cautions, and instructions are included in equipment documentation where
appropriate. Make sure these instructions and all other equipment documents are accessible to
persons operating or servicing equipment.
The safety message that follows has a WARNING level hazard.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK
Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before removing covers and / or disconnect, lock out, and
tag switches before servicing electrical equipment. If you receive even a slight electrical shock, shut
down all equipment immediately. Do not restart the equipment until the problem has been identified
and corrected.
MAXIMUM AIR PRESSURE
Unless otherwise noted in the product manual, the maximum air input pressure is 7.0 bar (100
psi). Excessive air input pressure may damage the equipment. Air input pressure is intended to be
applied through an external air pressure regulator rated for 0 to 7.0 bar (0 to 100 psi).
RELEASE PRESSURE
Release hydraulic and pneumatic pressure before opening, adjusting, or servicing pressurized
systems or components.
BURNS
Hot surfaces! Avoid contact with the hot metal surfaces of heated components. If contact can not be
avoided, wear heat-protective gloves and clothing when working around heated equipment. Failure
to avoid contact with hot metal surfaces can result in personal injury.

Nordson EFD Product Safety Statement (continued)
Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvent Hazards
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in a pressurized system that contains aluminum components.
Under pressure, these solvents can react with aluminum and explode, causing injury, death, or property damage.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents contain one or more of the following elements.
Element Symbol Prefix
Fluorine F “Fluoro-”
Chlorine Cl “Chloro-”
Bromine Br “Bromo-”
Iodine I “Iodo-”
Check the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or contact your material supplier for more information. If you must use
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, contact your EFD representative for compatible EFD components.
High Pressure Fluids
High pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely hazardous. Always release fluid pressure before
adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. A jet of high pressure fluid can cut like a knife and cause serious
bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the skin can also cause toxic poisoning.
Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If you are injured or even suspect an injury:
• Go to an emergency room immediately.
• Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.
• Show the doctor the following note.
• Tell the doctor what kind of material you were dispensing.
WARNING
Medical Alert — Airless Spray Wounds: Note to Physician
Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as possible. Do
not delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected directly into the
bloodstream.
Qualified Personnel
Equipment owners are responsible for making sure that EFD equipment is installed, operated, and serviced by
qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those employees or contractors who are trained to safely perform
their assigned tasks. They are familiar with all relevant safety rules and regulations and are physically capable of
performing their assigned tasks.
