- Page 3 Safety No*ces Good safety prac6ces must be followed when opera6ng and handling the MagnaValve®. Improper usage could result in damage to the product or personal injury. • Please note: The MagnaValve® emits magne6c fields that can be harmful to people who wear pacemakers. •...
- Page 4 Product Overview The MagnaValve® WM 3000-24 is a normally closed valve that regulates the flow of steel shot or grit in wheel-blast machines for blast cleaning applica6ons. It is a powerful valve with a flow rate capacity of up to 3,000 lb/min (1,361 kg/min) for wheels up to 125 hp.
- Page 5 Closed-Loop Opera*on with Model AC-24 For an “automa6c” closed-loop opera6on, an Electronics Inc. AC-24 Controller (sold separately) will detect the current load on the wheel motor and regulate the flow of media to the WM 3000-24. The WM 3000-24 MagnaValve®, with the AC-24 Controller, provides reliable, repe66ve, and consistent media flow rates for blast cleaning...

AC-24 Semngs: • On/Off/Ready – Ready • Servo – On Use the following steps to start and control media flow from a PLC using the AC-24 Controller: 1.
- Page 8 MagnaValve® Installa*on Overview To ensure proper opera6on and the long life of the MagnaValve®, proper installa6on is important. The images below show an example of the recommended installa6on of the WM 3000-24 and describe the individual parts that are typically found on a peening/blas6ng machine. The following sec6ons provide details of the proper installa6on of the MagnaValve®.
- Page 9 The MagnaValve® is mounted between the upper adapter and lower adapter. The MagnaValve® must be mounted ver6cally and should be located within 36 inches (one meter) of the wheel’s feed spout. Moun6ng it further away will cause “Transport Lag”—a term used in closed-loop control theory. Transfer Lag is the 6me that media is discharged from the MagnaValve®...
- Page 10 Media Supply To operate properly and prevent damage to the MagnaValve®, always supply more than the full flow capacity of the valve. For example, the WM 3000-24 will flow a minimum of 3000 lb/min. Even if the applica6on only calls for 400 lb maximum, the MagnaValve®...
- Page 11 Air Aspira3on An air aspira6on inlet below the valve is required for proper opera6on. Three examples of this follow: A Gap Below the MagnaValve Create a gap between the MagnaValve® and the lower adapter. The gap can be created by placing shim, washers, or nuts between the MagnaValve®...
- Page 12 Feed Spout Modifica9on Create a gap for air to enter the system at the feed spout. Using a feed spout larger than the hose will create a gap between the hose and the feed spout, allowing air to enter. Hose Feed Spout Air Aspira6on Gap...
- Page 13 Lower Adapter Modifica9on Add air inlet holes or slots in the lower adapter. Drilling holes or machining slots or cutouts into the lower adapter will allow air to enter the system. Lower Adapter Holes to allow air flow...

- Page 18 Connector MagnaValve® The WM 3000-24 MagnaValve® is equipped with a connector that contains the necessary power and control lines for normal opera6on of the MagnaValve. The connector is the communica6on link between the VD-17 Remote valve driver and the MagnaValve®. Only two wires are used to connect the VD-17 Remote and the WM 3000-24.
- Page 19 VD-17 Remote The connector on the VD-17 Remote is the communica6on link between either the AC-24 or Pot-24 and the MagnaValve®. The connector contains the following signals: power, signal common, analog input, enable, and the two control lines to the WM 3000-24 (see illustra6on below). These signals will control the MagnaValve® during opera6on.
