F3 Series Valves - Manifold Installation
V-413DP
FIGURE 1: Example Schematic Diagram -
shows three manifolds with their valve assemblies & plugs
4. Connect cylinder ports marked #2 and #4 to cylinder or other
device to be supplied air. Connections are commonly made to
ports on end of manifold opposite wiring cavity. If bottom ports
were ordered and are more accessible to your application, plug
end cylinder ports and remove plugs (Item #20) from bottom
ports.
5. Three-Way function can be obtained by plugging ports #2
or #4.
External Pilot Connections
Use an external pilot supply when inlet pressures are below
minimum valve ratings, or any other application requiring pilot
pressure different than main supply pressure. Common external
pilot supply may be applied to either port #12 or #14. The other
manifold base’s pilot supply ports need to be plugged (Item #6).
Perform pilot supply conversion outlined on Installation and
Operating Instructions (V-410BP) packed with valve.
If you ordered the valve with external pilot having an “L” or “P” in
digit 6 of the Model Number, mount valve as received. You will also
need to isolate the #12 or #14 port of this valve from other valves
in the manifold bank.
Station Blanking Plate
Use top blanking plate (Item #18) with a manifold (Items #3, 7, 9)
to reserve a place for a valve that will be added later to the manifold
bank or to remove a valve from a manifold without having to remove
the manifold block from the manifold bank. (See Figure 3.)
Place gasket (Item #17) and blanking plate (Item #18) on manifold
and assemble using mounting screws (Item #19) provided with kit.
Tighten screws from 1.4 to 1.7 N•m (12 to 15 in-lbs).
Apply main pressure and check for leaks. If any are present, do not
operate valves on the manifold bank - repeat the assembly process
until satisfactory.
Special Assembly Procedures for manifolds with auxiliary inlet
and outlet and/or selector type sandwich regulators.
Auxiliary inlet and outlet manifolds use the outlet of one valve to
supply the inlet of the next valve. Both manifold stations must be of
the auxiliary inlet and outlet type (any additional manifold stations
may be standard).
The valve to be used on the supply to the next valve must be on
the right hand side of the valve to be supplied when viewing the
end outlet ports.
Port #1 of the supply manifold must be isolated between the two
stations per the instructions on the opposite page.
The outlet ports of the supply manifold should be plugged with pipe
plugs.
If a selector type sandwich regulator is being used with the supply
valve and the adjusted pressures are less than the minimums stated
on the front, the valve(s) being supplied should be converted to
external pilot supply.
Instructions for using the pilot pressure of one valve as
external pilot pressure for other valves.
Perform pilot conversions per Instruction Sheet V-410BP shipped
with the valve.
The valve used to supply pilot pressures to other valves must be
the unit at the highest pressure.
Remove and discard the pilot plug from the area either marked 12
or 14 from the valve to be used for pilot supply.
Convert all valves to be of the external type to external pilot supply
from 12 or 14 depending on which was chosen.
