3 / Introduction & Safety
Introduction
IMP RTANT: The primary control of deposit size is the valve open time. The ValveMate
8000 provides easy access and “on the fly” adjustment of valve open time.
The ValveMate 8000 is an EFD dispense 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 .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 8000 has been designed with the machine builder and operator in mind. The
objectives are to bring dispensing 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.
Safety
Please read the EFD product safety statement included in the package. Follow all appropriate
safety instructions.

Preventative Maintenance
As part of maintaining continuous trouble-free use of this product, EFD recommends a few very simple
preventative maintenance checks.
1. Periodically inspect tube to fitting connections for proper fit. Secure as necessary.
2. Check tubing for cracks and contamination. Replace tubing as necessary.
3. Check all wiring connections for looseness. Tighten as necessary.
4. If front panel requires cleaning, use a clean, soft damp rag with a mild detergent cleaner. DO NOT USE
strong solvents (acetone, MEK, etc.) as they will damage the front panel material.

M DE – Pressing the MODE button scrolls through the menu at the left of the LED. Also used
for clearing ALARM faults.
RUN – Enables external initiate inputs. The cycle button is disabled.
SETUP – Setup / testing / and modification of 4-channel TIMER modes.
PURGE – Enables individual or simultaneous purge of dispense valves.
TEACH – For easy setting / teach of times modes in filling or other longer cycle
applications.
DELAY – Allows user entry of pre-dispense time between individual channels.
CYCLE – Pressing the CYCLE button will provide different results according to the selected
MODE.
TIME SET – Pressing the UP or DOWN buttons will change valve on-time for the
selected valve/s or the DELAY time. Pressing both buttons simultaneously will zero out the time.
These buttons are enabled in the RUN, SETUP and DELAY modes only.
ALARM INDICAT RS – At the beginning of any of the dispense activities if ALARM circuit is

“on-the-fly” while the machine is running.
For “on-the-fly” adjustment, ¿ Select
appropriate channel. ¡ Press CYCLE. .
LED display will “flash”. Æ Press UP or
DOWN arrow to add or subtract time to
selected channel.
√ When finished press
CYCLE to lock in new TIME. Initiate signals
are only enabled in the RUN mode.
SETUP – In the SETUP mode,
time settings can be changed and deposit
size tested.
PURGE – This allows purging from
selected or all channels for the duration
the CYCLE button is pressed.
TEACH –Select channel. Press and
hold the CYCLE button in the TEAC
mode will begin “flashing” of the LED
display for 5 seconds before TEAC function
begins. Add incremental time to selected
channel by continued press and hold of
CYCLE button or .000 out channel time
and begin TEAC sequence described
above. Repeat sequence for each channel.
