TFF Equation. On application, other algorithms can be supported.Confirm that you have the following items: When panel mounted in a standard 1/4 DIN panel cut-out [88 mm X 88 mm], the BCV-980 provides IP65 (protection against water jets) NOTE: Care must be taken in a panel layout as the flexible tube running through a BCV-980 may obscure adjacent panel cut-out locations.
SAFETY CAUTIONS The BCV-980 is a Pinch Valve: use care keeping fingers, etc. out of the pinch mechanism! Severe & painful damage is possible. DIMENSIONAL DRAWINGS: BCV-980 For Reference Only BCV-980; general arrangement malema.com...

GETTING STARTED Unpack and mount the BCV-980, using the included Silicon Sponge Gasket, through a standard ¼ DIN panel cut-out [88mm X 88mm]. Panel or surface mounting is essential to achieve IP65 ingress protection. The BCV-980 is fully connectorized using shielded Hirose connectors.
WHITE/BLACK] on rear panel mounted connector P0 causes the DRAW BAR to fully OPEN so, manifolding can be easily installed or removed. When this signal is removed the BCV-980 slowly closes under reduced torque until motor stall occurs. At this point a new ZERO position is established and the system returns to Normal operation.
The BCV-980 panel mounts through a standard ¼ DIN panel cutout [88mm X 88mm]. An ORANGE Silicone Rubber sponge gasket is provided with each BCV-980. When properly installed with the gasket the BCV-980 provides IP65 ingress rating; i.e.: protection against water jets.
10. Hook-up a 4-20ma analog signal generator to the the Analog setpoint input of main power cable Set input setpoint signal to 20ma a. Confirm the BCV-980 opens to the GUI maximum opening angle b. Confirm flow rate equals the maximum desired flowrate 12.
12. VIOLET GROUND Configurable VIA the Malema GUI; default is 4 to 20 mA; other options 0 to 5 VDC; 0 to 10 VDC or 1 to 5 VDC This signal can be repurposed – consult Malema for details malema.com...

910, 980 Product Description: BIOPHARMA VALVE Product Line This product utilizes software, techniques and methods developed by Malema Engineering Corp. and covered by Trade Secrets, US & foreign patents. The product(s) covered by this certificate comply with the following standards: 1.
As can be seen in the above chart, the “natural”, non-linearized flow, through a tube is highly asymmetric with a long “tail” at the higher flows where essentially no flow rate change occurs over much of the control signal. Malema addresses this situation...
