13. After all connections are finished test the electrical connections to proper
electrical standards.
11.2.4 New Heater Startup
To protect the heat element from failure at startup, we highly recommend
using a soft start feature on the controller.
11.3 Solenoid Valve Bank
A hydraulic or pneumatic solenoid valve bank is used to control the opening
and closing of each gate separately. It is mostly used for large automotive
parts where individual control of each valve gate opening timing and
sequencing is important, for example, to avoid or control welding line location
and proper part filling. Sequential valve control can be provided by injection
machine or other surrounding controller. The following sections provide more
information about hydraulic and pneumatic solenoid control valves which may
assist system startup and maintenance.
11.3.1 Hydraulic Solenoid Valve Bank
The standard hydraulic valve bank has been completely assembled and
tested before shipping. The standard package includes a pressure reducing
valve that protects the downstream actuators.
There are two options for standard solenoid valvebank due to the operating
voltage difference: 24VDC and 110VAC. Check to make sure which version is
in the system before starting any maintenance on the valve bank.
Due to its stackable design, the valve bank assembly can be easily changed
by adding or removing valve elements to meet specific requirement in the
field. The parts need to be ordered and replaced are only the bolt kits and
new valve elements if adding station required. Contact your
