SAMS Manifold & Valves 

 

This document is written to provide an introduction to the manifold and valves used on Blue Bird’s Smart 
Air Management System (SAMS).  This discussion will create a basic understanding of the valve 
functionality.  The knowledge gained by understanding the document content will provide service 
personnel with information to diagnose and repair related system problems. 
 

Theory of Operation 

The manifold is an electro-pneumatic device used to control the air flow within the SAMS system.  The 
valves are two-position and of a coil actuated design.  This application requires two valves per air bag for 
ride height control, totaling twelve (12) valves in all.  One valve serves as a “fill” valve and allows system 
air to pass through the manifold “into” the air bag. This causes the air bag to inflate, thereby increasing 
the vehicle ride height.  The second valve serves as an “exhaust” valve and allows air to pass “from” the 
air bag, through the manifold, into the atmosphere. This causes the air bag to deflate, thereby decreasing 
the vehicle ride height.
