4 Product overview
4.1 Function
The proportional-pressure regulator controls the pressure proportionally to a
specified setpoint value. A built-in pressure sensor records the pressure at the
working port and compares this value with the setpoint value. If there are devia-
tions between the setpoint value and actual values, the proportional-pressure
regulator is actuated until the output pressure has reached the setpoint.

5 Transport
Store and transport the product in its original packaging. Observe the weight, the
dimensions and the ambient conditions.
6 Assembly
6.1 Mounting clearances
During assembly make sure that there is sufficient space for the cable connection
and the tubing connections. Place the device as close to the consumer as pos-
sible. This leads to better control accuracy and shorter response times.

7Installation
7.1 Pneumatic installation (in-line valve)
1. Remove the covers from the supply ports.
2. Connect the compressed air port (1) and the working air port (2) with tubing
è Fig. 2.
3. Fit a silencer at the exhaust air port (3) or install an exhaust air duct è Fig. 2.
Operating medium
NOTICE
Too much residual oil content in the compressed air will reduce the service life of
the valve.
• When using bio-oils (oils that are based on synthetic ester or native ester,
e.g. rapeseed oil methyl ester), the maximum residual oil content of 0.1 mg/m³
must not be exceeded (ISO 8573-1:2010 [–:–:2]).
7.2 Electrical installation
WARNING
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
• For the electrical power supply, use only PELV circuits in accordance with IEC
60204-1/EN 60204-1 (Protective Extra-Low Voltage, PELV).
•Observe the general requirements of IEC 60204-1/EN 60204-1 for PELV circuits.
• Only use voltage sources that ensure a reliable electric separation from the
mains network in accordance with IEC 60204-1/EN 60204-1.
NOTICE
Malfunction due to impaired immunity to interference
Long signal lines reduce the immunity to interference.
• Use the shortest possible signal lines.
NOTICE
•The connector must not be twisted out of the intended position.
• The tightening torque of the M12 plug socket with cable must not exceed
0.5 Nm.
NOTICE
If the Y-connecting cable type NEBV-M12G8-KD-..-M12G5 is connected to CPX I/O
modules, galvanic isolation of the I/O modules will not be guaranteed.
1. Use the rating plate to check which valve variant is involved.
Valve variant VPPM-...-V1... VPPM-...-A4...
Voltage variant 0 … 10 V DC
Current variant 4 … 20 mA
2. Lay the electrical connection cable without crushing, kinking or stretching it.
3. If a shielded electrical connection cable is used, earth the shield at the end of
the cable remote from the valve.
4. Wire the VPPM-... according to the corresponding plug pattern.
VPPM-...-V1... VPPM-...-A4...

Digital comparator output D3
The “Pressure reached” function permits monitoring of the pressure control func-
tion. The setpoint value is compared with the actual value.
The digital switching output D3 becomes active as soon as the divergence is
£ 0.5% FS and becomes inactive when the divergence > 1% FS is exceeded.

8Commissioning
•Keep high-frequency radiation away from the VPPM-... in order to avoid
increased tolerances of the outlet pressure.
• The VPPM-... interprets setpoint signals that are less than 1% Full Scale (FS) as
0 V or 4 mA. In this case the working pressure is set to ambient pressure.
• At typical input values below 3.6 mA , the valve detects a cable break and the
last pressure set remains unregulated. Leakage results in a change of pressure
over the long term.
1. Connect the VPPM-... with a setpoint value signal. The VPPM-... has a differen-
tial input. Apply the setpoint signal 0 … 10 V or 4 … 20 mA to contacts 3 and 4.
Apply the lower potential to contact 3 and the higher potential to contact 4.
Contact 3 (– setpoint value) can be connected to contact 7 (GND).
2. Power the VPPM-... with direct current.
–Supply voltage UV = 24 V DC ±10%

–Press and hold the [Edit] key for 3 seconds.
–Select a parameter set with the [UP] and [DOWN] keys. The LED of the
