2. DESIGNATED USE
The digital rotary valve controller RVC900N is used for precise controlling of rotary
valves which work with a DC voltage of 0 –24V, for example the PDV-1000 valve. The
RVC900N controls the air pressure on the material, and also the voltage to the rotary
valve for setting the speed of the valve.
With the integrated precision air pressure regulator, the air pressure on the material can
be set precisely. There are two different air pressure outputs for the RVC900N. One
output is continuous air pressure, the second output is a pulsed air pressure, as long, as
the rotary valve dispenses. An integrated digital pressure sensor at the inlet air gives an
additional point for the process safety.
3. FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING:
If the RVC900N is used for other functions as described below, it could come to
personal or material damage. Use the RVC900N controller only for the functions, which
are explained in this user manual. Fisnar Inc. is not responsible for personal or material
damages, which happen because of incorrect usage.
DO NOT modify the RVC900N.
DO NOT attempt to repair or use spare parts without first contacting Fisnar.
DO NOT use anything but recommended Fisnar accessories..
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
The RVC900N works with 100 –240V AC voltage. By touching the 100 –240V AC
voltage, there exists danger of life!! Because of this, the RVC900N must be
disconnected from the AC input cable, before opening the housing. It is only allowed for
authorized electrical experts to open the housing.
DO NOT exceed the maximum allowed power / settings.
Always wear protective gear.
Before using the RVC900N please review the safety datasheets of the dispensing
material
No smoking or fire by flammable materials.
The RVC900N is only allowed for use indoors.
Due to the electronic nature of this equipment and the potential for a spark or
generation of heat, note that this equipment most NOT be used with any explosive
material or in an explosive type environment.

6. START OPERATION:
Connect the power inlet cable to the power inlet connector on the backside.
Connect the air inlet tube from the compressor to the air inlet on the backside of the
RVC900N.
Connect the foot pedal or dispense cable to the footswitch connector on the backside of the
RVC900N. Also connect the rotary valve cable to the connector in the rear of the RVC900N
controller.
Depending on your application, use the continuous or pulsed air outlet for the air supply of
the material reservoir. Adjust the air outlet pressure with the pressure regulator on the front
side of the RVC900N. A typical air pressure is less then 30psi (2 bar)for standard
applications with a rotary valve. If material comes out of the tip, without dispensing with the
rotary valve, reduce the air pressure on the material reservoir.
Switch the RVC900N on. The display shows the initialization and the installed software
version. After 5 sec, the display switches automatically to the standard screen and is ready
for operation.
Check the pressure input (e.g. P-IN: 80psi (5.6bar)) in the display to be sure, that the air
input pressure is connected.

8. PARAMETER:
Select mode
Pressing the PROG key switches to the next program and to manual mode
Manual: In this mode, the dispense time does not get saved and the rotary valve
dispenses as long as the dispense signal is activated by one of the following:
footswitch / purge key / I/O-start.
After dispensing, the dispense time starts again at 0.00 sec.
PROG 1-7: If one of the programs 1 –7 is selected, the RVC900N dispenses as long as
the value of the dispense time is set for. This dispense cycle is activated by
one of the following: footswitch / purge key / I/O-start.
This mode should be selected, if the rotary valve should always dispense for
the same time.
Set the dispense time:
The dispense time can be selected with the UP / DOWN keys, and set from 0.01 - 999.99
sec.
Set the rotation speed:
The rotation speed of the rotary valve can be selected in linear steps.
The value from 001 - 100 is related to the rotary valve voltage 0 - 24V.
Set the wait time:
The wait time is the pause time between end of dispensing and starting the retract of the
rotary valve. This value is limited to max. 5 sec.
Set the retract:
The retract is the time, which the rotary valve moves in the inverted direction to the
dispense direction. With this function, dropping of material out of the dispense tip, after
finishing the dispense procedure can be prohibited. This value is limited to max. 5 sec.
Cycle counter:
The cycle counter counts the dispensing procedures after switching ON the RVC900N
controller. The memory of the cycle counter is volatile and gets reset to 000000 after
switching OFF the unit.
Rotation Direction:
The rotation direction of the rotary valve can be set for clockwise and counter clockwise.
The selected direction is shown in the display as follows:
CW: Clockwise - spindle moves clockwise
CCW: Counter clockwise - spindle moves counter clockwise
The rotation direction can be selected in the SERVICE MENU
