The ValveMate 7100 features an alarm output circuit. The Alarm OUT circuit closes when an alarm
condition is present.The Alarm OUT circuit is a normally open electronic switch that can switch an
external 5–24 VDC circuit to an external signaling device or PLC input. Maximum load is 100 mA,
5–24VDC.
Alarm IN Connection
The ValveMate 7100 offers an alternate use of the CC INIT initiate input for an external alarm signal.
Refer to the “How to” instructions on page23 to enable. When enabled as an alarm input, the CCINIT
on pins 7 and 8 is connected to a normally closed switch, such as a low level reservoir float switch.
Pins7 and 8 must be closed to initiate a dispense valve cycle.
End-of-Cycle Connection (EOC)
The ValveMate 7100 features an End-of-Cycle (EOC) circuit to acknowledge an active dispense valve
initiate. The EOC circuit is a normally closed electronic switch that can switch an external 5–24 VDC
circuit to an external signaling device or PLC input. Maximum load is 100 mA, 5–24 VDC.
End-of-Cycle (EOC) signaling only functions when the ValveMate 7100 is in the RUN mode. The End-of-
Cycle (EOC) is normally closed in the RUN mode while the dispense cycle is inactive. The EOC switch
opens when the dispense cycle is initiated and closes when the dispense cycle is completed.
24 VDC Output
The courtesy 24 volt DC 200 mA can be used to provide power to the EOC and Alarm out circuits for
signalling purposes. Also, it can be used as a power source for an indicator device or initiate signal
through a contact closure switch to the 5–24 VDC INIT circuit.
