MCP-8 Valve Driver Instructions
One of three wiring configurations can be used to trigger the valves. Choose the one that best fits the needs of your
system. Detailed instructions for each configuration are given in the next section.
WARNING! The triggering device used must be configured to output only 24VDC. If the control unit has a
spike, it will damage the input circuit for the scanner.
Disconnect all power and input signal wiring before attempting to install or replace any part of
the glue system. Otherwise, personal injury or death may occur!
Wiring the Scanner Cable
1. Make sure the MCP-8 power switch is OFF and the unit is unplugged.
2. Cut the female connector off of the Scanner 1 cable.
3. Plug the male connector (on the Scanner 1 cable) into the Scanner 1 input port on the back of the MCP-8
Control Unit (refer to Figure 3-7).
4. Carefully strip the scanner cable jacket back and strip the individual wire insulations about 0.25 inch.
5. Wire the modified scanner cable according to the Wiring Diagram (Figure 3-8).
