DESCRIPTION / IDENTIFICATION The GP series control valve is an electronic pressure regulator designed to precisely control the pressure of gaseous media proportional to an electronic signal. The GP1 operates using two normally closed solenoid valves, a pressure sensor, and a control circuit. One valve is actuated to allow unregulated supply media into the system. The second valve is actuated to allow working media to vent to atmosphere. The pressure sensor provides feedback to the control circuit. The control circuit compares the pressure sensor feedback to the user supplied electronic command signal and actuates the appropriate valve until the two signals match. The GP series can be teamed with a variety of onetoone ratio high pressure volume boosters for even greater flow. When using a volume booster, the GP2 can be used to achieve accuracy similar to the GP1 alone with higher flow capacity. GP series product comes with a monitor output signal. This output is an electrical signal originating from the internal sensor used in the control circuit of the GP1 valve. On GP2 units this signal originates from the external transducer. This allows the system parameters to be monitored and provides a signal for data acquisition needs. The output of this signal can be configured to either 0 10Vdc or 420mA. The GP2 is similar to the GP1 but uses a double loop control scheme. In addition to the internal pressure transducer, the GP2 also receives a 010Vdc feedback signal from an external sensing device. The external signal functions as the primary feedback and is compared to the command signal. A difference between the two comparisons causes one of the two solenoid valves to open allowing flow in or out of the system. A ProportionAir DSY or DSTY will work as a second loop feedback to the GP2 (See ordering information). The GP series has several other beneficial features. An on board split power supply allows true zero for command and monitor even though the GP is powered by a conventional single ended power supply. The GP utilizes advanced on board power management hardware to minimize current draw and heat build up. The GP also features status indicating LEDs for power and TTL. The TTL signal is a conditional on/off signal to use for diagnostic purposes. This signal is LOW when the pressure is within 1% of final setting. 1 INGP12

GP CONNECTION PROCEDURE Pneumatic Connections: 1. A typical 20 micron (minimum 40 micron) inline filter is recommended on the inlet of the GP. 2. Connect supply pressure to the I inlet port (figure 1) not to exceed rated supply pressure. (Table 1) 3. Connect one of the O outlet port (figure 1) to the device being controlled and plug the unused one. 4. Proceed with electrical connection.

GP2 second loop connections: For GP2 valves to work properly a 010Vdc second loop input source must be connected to the GP2. 1. Make electrical connections according to the section titled Voltage command valves for a voltage command unit or Current command valves for a current command unit 2. If ProportionAir DS series transducer is used as the external feedback source, attach it to the auxiliary receptacle on the GP2 unit. (Figure 4) 3. If another source of transducer is used, H23 cable must be ordered to facilitate connection of that source to the GP2. (Figure 5) Note: Power & common connections on the 2nd loop receptacle are fed through from the main connector and are provided to facilitate wiring of the 2nd loop sensor. 2nd LOOP FEEDBACK RECEPTACLE ON GP2 Figure 4 Figure 5 H23 COLOR CODE Red/White Signal In Red/Black Green Power Common RECALIBRATION PROCEDURE All GP valves come precalibrated from the factory using precision calibration equipment. If the GP valve needs recalibration, use the procedure described below: GP1 VALVES: 1. Wire servo according to the section titled Electrical Connections. 2. Connect a precision measuring gage or pressure transducer to the unplugged outlet port of the GP. 4. Locate the calibration access cap on top of the GP valve and locate the ZERO and SPAN adjustment potentiometers (figure 6). The 420mA potentiometers should be set at the factory and do not need to be recalibrated. NOTE: Only use this step if your device is totally out of calibration. If it is slightly out of calibration, omit this step and move on to paragraph 5. Using a small screwdriver, turn both potentiometers 15 turns clockwise. Then turn them 7 turns counter clockwise. This will put the GP roughly at mid scale. 5. Set the electrical command input to MAXIMUM value. Adjust the SPAN potentiometer until MAXI MUM desired pressure is reached (clockwise to increase pressure). 6. Set the electrical command input to 10 percent of full value (1Vdc for 010Vdc unit or 5.6mA for 420mA unit). 7. Adjust the ZERO potentiometer until 10 percent of maximum desired pressure is reached. (clockwise increases pressure). 8. If at any time during the calibration procedure the servo oscillates or becomes unstable for more than one second, turn the hysteresis potentiometer HW (see figure 12 for location) clockwise until the oscillation stops, then turn it one more complete turn (same direction). 9. The ZERO and SPAN potentiometers interact slightly. Repeat steps 510 until no error exists. 10. Verify unit shuts off by going to zero command. Check linearity by going to at least six pressures throughout the full range. GP2 VALVES: This calibration procedure assumes there is a properly scaled and calibrated transducer for use as 2nd loop feedback signal. (The GP2 series accepts a 010Vdc 2nd loop signal.) Follow, in order, steps 110 as noted in the section titled GP1 VALVES. Make sure the 2nd loop is connected before you start the calibration. NOTE: There must be a closed volume of at least 3 cu.in. (49cc) between the valve outlet and the measuring device for the valve to be stable. 3. Provide supply pressure to the inlet port of the GP. (See figure 1). Make sure supply pressure does not exceed the rating for the valve. (see table 1) Figure 6 4 INGP12
