NORMAL OPERATION
—
During normal operation, the
standard NT Proportional Control
Valve, Model 6300 requires no
maintenance, other than a periodic
valve homing of the unit. In applica-
tions with greater movement duty
cycle, more frequent valve homing
is recommended.
At the time of unit power-up, and
any subsequent power cycle, the
proportional control valve will
perform a valve homing procedure
before becoming active.
VALVE HOMING FUNCTION
—
NOTE: The following procedure
must be followed precisely to ensure
proportional control valve homing.
1. The proportional control valve
homing function requires the
use of the same 24 VDC ±10%
power source that is used to
power the unit.
2. Apply 24 VDC ±10% to the
8-Green/-Pin J wire to initiate
valve homing routine, for a
mini-mum of 1 second. The
24 VDC for valve homing must
use the same ground as the
ground 2-Black/Pin E wire. Only
apply 24 VDC to this 8-Green/-
Pin J wire, long enough to
re-home the valve. The valve
homing will be complete within
5 seconds.
NOTE: The valve homing function will
remain active and at home position as
long as 24 VDC is applied to the valve
home input wire.
In most applications, the valve
homing procedure may be auto-
mated using switches, a PLC or
other logic proportional control
valve devices.
