Ultra-low power consumption pinch valve
◦Power is supplied only when opening/closing, and
power is not required to maintain the open/closed
state. Therefore, almost no heat is generated.
◦A DC geared motor is used for drive, making the
configuration simple and eliminating the need for a
dedicated drive circuit.
The main unit is small and lightweight, with dimensions (W x D x H) of 30 x 23 x 41.4 mm and weight approximately 33 g. (excluding wiring and tube)
The cover is attached with a magnet, so tube replacement is easy.
We sell an optional special tube with joiners on both ends that can be easily attached to the valve.
The optional RE-V100 dedicated controller is available, which allows you to individually program the operation sequences of the three valves.

The optional tube is a 24.5mm long suitable tube with special joints attached to both ends. And it can be easily attached to the valve. Optional tubes are sold in units of 10. The above model numbers are for a set of 10.

There are five wires coming out of the valve, as shown in the photo to the left.
There are two types of wire end process:
  ◦With connector
  ◦Only the insulation is stripped
        (Without connector)
The length of the wiring is as shown in the "Standard model / Model No. & Specifications" table.
The connector is for connecting to the motor controller RE-V100.
The valve without connector can be operated by wiring as described below.

{ Wiring }

Prepare a switch DPDT and a 3V DC power supply (DC power supply, dry cell, etc.).
Connect the five wires coming out of the valve (red, orange, yellow, brown, and black) as shown in the diagram on the left.

{ Operation }

When the switch is in the position shown in the diagram (red is positive, orange is negative), the valve opens.
When the switch is in the opposite position to that shown in the diagram (yellow is positive, red is negative), the valve is closed.

For Ultra-low power consumption pinch valve RV-001 series
Programmable motor controller　RE-V100

Up to three valves can be connected and each valve can be programmed to open and close at separate times.
Connect a Windows computer and input the operating program.
The created operation program can be stored in the controller itself, so it can be operated even without a computer.
The operation programs you create can be saved on your computer and reused.
The valve and controller are connected with a connector. To use the controller, a valve with a connector is required.
