Introduction
The Liquidyn P-Jet CT pneumatic micro-dispensing jet valve is
designed for the non-contact dispensing of low- to medium-viscosity
materials, including oils, greases, glues, ux, and lled products.
Valve Speed and Deposit Size
The valve can produce micro-deposits as small as 3 nL at dispensing
frequencies of up to 280Hz, for a faster production process. The valve
can also dispense larger material volumes.
Modular, Exchangeable Components
Because the material-carrying components are separate from the
actuator, dispensing tappets and nozzles can be quickly and easily
exchanged, allowing the valve to efciently dispense highly abrasive
mediums as well. The exchangeable design also makes material-type
changeout and component replacement fast and easy.
The Liquidyn P-Jet CT valve is congurable. Many choices for the
material supply components and the nozzle are available, including an
optional nozzle heater.
How the Valve Operates
The Liquidyn P-Jet CT valve is electro-pneumatically operated by a low
voltage, adjustable pulse signal that can start at 2 ms. The dispensing
tappet remains open until the trigger signal ends. The valve is normally
closed (NC) when idle, thus reducing the possibility of unintended uid
release upon power off.
How the Valve is Controlled
The valve can be operated using a Nordson EFD Liquidyn valve
controller or directly by the customer via a 24V input using a customer-
supplied controller or a programmable logic controller (PLC).

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 uids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely hazardous. Always release uid pressure before
adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. A jet of high pressure uid can cut like a knife and cause serious
bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the skin can also cause toxic poisoning.
WARNING
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.
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.

Refer to “Replacement Parts” on page33 for component part numbers.
NOTES:
• The nozzle retaining nut predominantly secures and seals the nozzle in place. The heater remains in contact with
the retaining nut through pressure supplied by a heater O-ring, which creates a partial space between the heater
and the uid body. This ensures thermal contact and allows the heater to rotate slightly even when the retaining
nut is fully tightened.
• The image below is based on a Liquidyn P-Dot valve with a standard nozzle heater. The mounting process is the
same for all valves.
NOTES:
• The electrical connection for the
heater is supplied through the
provided heater cable.

Connect Cables
Connect the M8 valve cable and other communication cables as applicable for your system to control the operation
of the valve. The diagram below shows some typical system control setups.
NOTE: The valve is triggered by a square-wave signal (24 VDC). The length of the pulse from the control signal
denes the opening time of the valve and can be set from 2 ms to innity. Most PLC systems make use of high
performance transistor outputs which are suitable to control the valve directly. The valve is electrically connected to
