  • Page 6: How The Valve And Controller Operate

    How The Valve and Controller Operate The 780S is a normally closed, air actuated needle type spray valve that uses a Low Volume Low Pressure (LVLP) design for high transfer efficiency without overspray or airborne mist. Air pressure from the VALVEMATE 7040 controller at ™...

    Controller Operating Features 1. Cycle Press to initiate one complete dispense Nozzle Nozzle cycle. Press this button again to interrupt a air gauge air regulator timed cycle. Press and hold while in the time override mode for continuous cycle. Release to stop.
  • Page 8: Typical Setup

    To do this, slide the shutoff valve on the Pulsed nozzle air air line away from the reservoir. If using an EFD tank, open the pressure relief valve as well. Before opening the reservoir, check the pressure gauge to verify that pressure is zero (0).

  • Page 11: Adjusting The Spray

    Adjusting the Spray Check to be sure steps 11 through 16 under Setup have been completed, then proceed to adjust the spray. ➀ ➀ 1. Using the needle stroke control knob on the 780S valve, set the fluid flow rate to one or two drops per second.
  • Page 12: Programming Nozzle Air Delay

    Programming Nozzle Air Delay The nozzle air time delay can be changed from the factory setting of 0.24 seconds to fine-tune the shutoff characteristics of the 780S spray valve. When making small deposits of low viscosity fluid, it may be necessary to shorten the time delay to eliminate a hollow center in the deposit.
