Valve Function Options 

• 

Electrically positioned by actuating one opening and/or one 
closing 2-way solenoids

• 

Valve actuation options are: 
– Valve remains closed when NO inlet and NC outlet  
   solenoids are de-energized 
– Valve fully opens when NC inlet and NO outlet solenoids         
   are de-energized 
– Valve holds in last position when NC inlet and NC outlet        
   solenoids are de-energized

• 

Valve position can be modulated by pulsing either solenoid

• 

Solenoid override by-pass ball valves provided for manual  
operation

STEP 6

Energize/De-Energize each solenoid to open main valve.

STEP 7

Opening Speed Flow Control Adjustment: The Opening speed 
needle valve restricts flow out of the cover of the main valve. 

If the main valve is opening too slowly turn the adjustment screw 
OUT, counterclockwise, increasing the rate of opening (See Figure 
2B).

If the main valve is opening too quickly, turn the adjustment screw 
IN, clockwise, decreasing the rate of opening (See Figure 2A).

STEP 8

Energize/De-Energize each solenoid to hold main valve position.

STEP 9

Energize/De-Energize each solenoid to close main valve.

STEP 10

Closing Speed Needle Valve Adjustment: The closing speed 
needle valve regulates fluid pressure into the main valve cover 
chamber, controlling the valve closing speed.

If the main valve is opening too quickly, turn the adjustment screw 
OUT, counterclockwise, increasing the rate of closing.
