Scanivalve is excited to announce a new addition to the MPS4000 series – a Scanivalve first! We have added a third, non-pneumatic valve control configuration to the MPS4264 Miniature Pressure Scanner — the Electric Valve!

The MPS4264/EPx – Electric Valve was developed to eliminate the need for pneumatic control pressures. Extending the body of the MPS allotted the space to add a motor and gear in order to drive the valve. Simple software commands were added to the firmware to allow the valve state to be changed from Measurement mode to Calibrate/Purge, while maintaining the same optical sensor in order to query the current state of the valve. This makes the MPS4264/EPx ideal for applications where pneumatic control pressures are inconvenient or unavailable.

Beyond the modifications to the housing and increased power requirements, all other features of the EPx are identical to the pneumatic configurations including the sensor package, communications, and the option to be installed into a TCU. The EPx configuration is now available for order!
