Introduction

Description

The Gilson VALVEMATE

® 

Valve Actuator provides automatic rotation of a 2-position or

multi-position, low- or high-pressure valve.

The VALVEMATE provides automatic valve rotation through the use of the front panel,

contact closures, RS-232, or Gilson Serial Input/Output Channel (GSIOC).

Modes

The VALVEMATE has the following modes:

Position mode. This mode identifies the valve type and its current position. When you

turn on the VALVEMATE, it will be in this mode after the initial startup screens are

displayed. You can change the valve position by pressing the up or down arrow key on

the front panel.

Unit ID mode. You use this mode to view and modify the identification number assigned

to the VALVEMATE.

Baud rate mode. You use this mode to view and modify the communication rate between

the VALVEMATE and a controlling device.

Valve mode. You use this mode to select the type of valve installed in the VALVEMATE.

Service mode. This mode identifies the number of times that the VALVEMATE has

rotated the valve and the number of hours that the VALVEMATE has been in operation.

Display

All status, parameter, and error codes appear on the front panel display.
