SOLENOID SHIFTED AIR DISTRIBUTION VALVE OPTION
Versa-Matic’s solenoid shifted, air distribution valve option utilizes
electrical signals to precisely control your pump’s speed. The solenoid
coil is connected to the Versa-Matic Solenoid Rate Controller/Batch
Control, or a customer - supplied control. Compressed air provides
the pumping power, while electrical signals control pump speed
(pumping rate).

OPERATION
The Solenoid Shifted Versa-Matic pump has a solenoid operated, air
distribution valve in place of the standard Versa-Matic’s pilot operated,
air distribution valve. Where a pilot valve is normally utilized to cycle
the pump’s air distribution valve, an electric solenoid is utilized. As
the solenoid is powered, one of the pump’s air chambers is pressurized
while the other chamber is exhausted. When electric power is turned
off, the solenoid shifts and the pressurized chamber is exhausted
while the other chamber is pressurized. By alternately applying and
removing power to the solenoid, the pump cycles much like a standard
pump, with one exception. This option provides a way to precisely
control and monitor pump speed.

BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before wiring the solenoid, make certain it is compatible with your
system voltage.
