VT325 Series

 

Specific Product Precautions  (2) 

Be sure to read this before handling the products.

 

 

Breathing hole 

 

 

1.  The bottom of the solenoid valve has a  breather hole for the 

main valve.  Take  proper measures to prevent this hole  from 

being blocked as this will lead to a malfunction. 

  Ordinarily, when the solenoid valve is  mounted on a metal 

surface, it can  breathe  through the breather hole, via  the 

breather groove. However, in  particular, if the surface to be 

mounted  is made of the rubber, the rubber could  deform and 

block the hole. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Make sure that dust and/or other foreign materials do not enter 

the valve from the unused port (e.g. exhaust port). 

The grommet portion contains a  breather hole for the core. 

Take proper measures to prevent dust or foreign matter from 

accumulating in this area.

For "Nil:  W/O light/surge voltage suppressor" with DC 

specification, there is no polarity. 

 

Valve Option 

1. For vacuum (VT/O325V: Valve specification V)

 

Operating pressure range 

-101.2 kPa to 0.1 MPa 

This vacuum model has less air leakage than the standard model 

under low pressure. It is recommended for vacuum application. 

 

 

1)  Since this valve has slight air leakage,  it cannot be used for 

holding vacuum  (including positive pressure holding) in  the 

pressure container.

3. Manual override with lock 

(VT/O325

-

-M: Valve specification M) 

1) Using a screwdriver, push the manual  override button that is 

located in the  head portion of the solenoid valve in  order to 

directly push the spool valve downward, thus causing the valve 

to switch. 

2) With the button remaining pushed down, turn it approximately 

90° clockwise or  counterclockwise to maintain the manual 

override locked state. 

3) To revert to the original state, keep  the button pushed down 

and turn it approximately 90° clockwise.
