Caution
Residual voltage of the surge voltage suppressor
Note) if a varistor or diode surge voltage suppressor is used, the-
re is some residual voltage to the protection element and
rated voltage. Therefore, refer to the table below and pay
attention to the surge voltage protection on the controller
side. Also, since the response time does change, refer to
the specifications on page 2 and 9.

Caution
With non-polar type solenoid valves, at times of sudden interruption
of the loading power supply, such as emergency shutdown, surge
voltage intrusion may be generated from loading equipment with a
large capacity (power consumption), and the solenoid valve in a de-
energized state may switch over (see Figure 1).
When installing a breaker circuit for the loading power supply, consider
using a solenoid valve with polarity (with polarity protection diode), or
install a surge absorption diode between the loading equipment COM
line and the output equipment COM line (see Figure 2).
Countermeasure for Surge Voltage Intrusion
Light/Surge Voltage Suppressor
• Since the voltage will drop by approx. 0.5 V due to the transis-
tor, pay attention to the allowable voltage fluctuation. (For de-
tails, refer to the solenoid specifications of each type of valve.)
With power saving circuit
<AC>
There is no S option, since a rectifier prevents surge voltage
generation.

<Electrical power waveform of energy saving type>
Power consumption is decreased by approx. 1/3 by reducing
the wattage required to hold the valve in an energized state.
(Effective energizing time is over 40 ms at 24 VDC.)
Refer to the electrical power waveform as shown below.

One-touch Fittings
When fittings are used, they may interfere with others depending
on their types and sizes. Therefore, the dimensions of the fittings
to be used should first be confirmed in their respective
catalogues.
Fittings compliant with the VP series are stated below. If the
fitting within the applicable range is selected, there will not be any
interference.
Caution
Type of Actuation Changing
Warning
Example: Changing from N.C. to N.O.
1) Base mounted
1. Remove the body from the sub-plate and reset the “
” mark
on the body corresponding to the “N.O.” mark on the sub-plate
as shown in the figure above.
2. Remove the end plate from the body and rotate the end plate
by 180
°
so that the “N.O.” mark on the end plate is at the top
of the valve.
Note) It is not necessary to change the piping when this is done.
2) Body ported
Remove the end plate from the body and rotate the end plate
by 180
°
to correspond the “N.O.” mark on the end plate to the
top of the valve.
Note)Piping should be arranged as follows.
