Setting Up Hydraulic Valves
There are two key settings for each valve direction (for example, the left up
direction). These settings are valve DeadZone, "
DZ
", and valve GAIN,
"
KP
".
The DeadZone ("
DZ
") setting represents the size of electrical signal required
at the solenoid valve to cause a boom speed of one inch per second.
The GAIN ("
KP
") setting is inversely related to the maximum speed of the
boom. That is, the faster the boom the lower the GAIN setting.
The left channel is described in
Table 5
. For the other channels the basic
structure and behavior is the same.
