VPC ITV vs. SMC ITV Electro-Pneumatic Regulator

◆  VPC Official Spanish Language Website

1. What is an ITV electro-pneumatic regulator?

The ITV electro pneumatic regulator is a precision pressure regulating device that continuously adjusts air pressure via an electrical signal (0-10V or 4-20mA). A single electronic pneumatic regulator can switch between multiple pressures.

Developed by VPC, the ITV series electronic pneumatic regulator is compatible with mainstream communication protocols such as RS-485 and Modbus. It utilizes advanced intelligent control algorithms to achieve fast, precise, and programmable pressure regulation, helping businesses improve equipment automation and reduce operating costs.

7. Precautions for use

① The air supply pressure must pass through an air filter with a filtration accuracy of 5µm or less.

② When installing the connectors and piping, prevent thread debris and sealing material from entering the pipes and blocking the small valve inlet.

③ Compressed air containing condensed water may cause a malfunction of the product. Please dry the air line accordingly.

④ If the product suddenly loses power during the pressurization phase, the "OUT" output will enter the power-off protection state, and pressure will be temporarily maintained.

⑤ This product has been fully tested at the factory. Any unauthorized disassembly or assembly is strictly prohibited, as it may cause product instability.

⑥ The four-core cable can only be assembled in one direction. After assembly, rotation is strictly prohibited. Forced rotation may damage the connector.

⑦ The product's ventilation and power-on sequence is: power on → ventilation → air off → power off.

⑧ When using this product in areas with strong electric fields, keep wiring as far away as possible to prevent external interference that may affect product operation.

⑨ The solenoid valve may produce operating noise, but this will not affect parameter settings or product operation.

⑩ When the four-core cable is not in use for monitoring output, avoid contact with other cables, as this may cause a malfunction.
