3. Veiligheidsinformatie

Neem altijd de volgende veiligheidsmaatregelen in acht om letsel of schade aan de apparatuur te voorkomen:

  • Zorg ervoor dat de stroomtoevoer is uitgeschakeld voordat u installatie-, onderhouds- of probleemoplossingswerkzaamheden uitvoert.
  • Controleer of het bedrijfsvolumetage (DC 24V) matches the valve's requirements. Incorrect voltage kan de spoel beschadigen.
  • Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure of 8 bars (0.8 MPa).
  • Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with pneumatic systems.
  • Ensure all pneumatic connections are secure and leak-free to prevent unexpected pressure release.
  • This valve is designed for air. Do not use with incompatible fluids or gases.

4. Installatie en instellingen

Een correcte installatie is cruciaal voor de werking en levensduur van de klep. Volg deze stappen zorgvuldig:

4.1. De klep monteren

  • Mount the valve securely using appropriate fasteners. Ensure it is in a stable position and not subject to excessive vibration.
  • Consider the orientation for optimal performance and accessibility for wiring and pneumatic connections.

4.2. Pneumatische aansluitingen

  • Identify the inlet (P), outlet (A, B), and exhaust (R, S) ports. The valve is a 3-way, 2-position type, typically having one inlet, one outlet, and one exhaust port.
  • Connect 1/4-inch NPT pneumatic lines to the corresponding ports. Use thread sealant tape or compound to ensure airtight connections.
  • Ensure the air supply is clean, dry, and within the specified pressure range (0.15-0.8 MPa / 8 Bars maximum).

4.3. Elektrische bedrading

The solenoid coil requires a DC 24V power supply. The connector is designed for easy wiring. Refer to the following steps and diagram:

  1. Stroom loskoppelen: Ensure the DC 24V power supply is completely disconnected before proceeding.
  2. Remove Connector Cover: Unscrew the small flathead screw on the clear plastic connector cover and carefully pull the cover off the solenoid coil.
  3. Access Terminals: The internal assembly containing the screw terminals will slide out of the clear plastic housing.
  4. Draden aansluiten: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires from your DC 24V power supply to the screw terminals. While polarity generally does not affect solenoid function, if an LED indicator is present, connect the positive wire to the terminal with the resistor attached to prevent LED damage.
  5. Beveiligde draden: Tighten the terminal screws to ensure a secure electrical connection.
  6. Reassemble Connector: Carefully feed the wires through the cable gland and reinsert the internal assembly into the clear plastic housing. Secure the cover with the flathead screw.
  7. Controleer verbindingen: Double-check all electrical and pneumatic connections before applying power.

5. Bediening

The U.S. Solid 3-Way 2-Position Solenoid Valve operates by using an electrical signal to control the internal mechanism, which in turn directs the flow of compressed air.

  • Uitgeschakelde toestand: When no power is applied to the coil, the valve is in its default (normally closed or normally open) position, directing air flow according to its design.
  • Energieke toestand: When DC 24V power is applied to the coil, the solenoid actuates, shifting the valve to its alternative position and redirecting the air flow.
  • Handmatige override: Some models may include a manual override button (often blue or red) for testing or emergency operation without electrical power. Pressing this button will manually shift the valve position.

Ensure the control system providing the DC 24V signal is properly configured for the desired pneumatic sequence.

6. Onderhoud

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your solenoid valve.

  • Inspectie: Periodically inspect the valve for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks around the connections.
  • Schoonmaak: Keep the exterior of the valve clean and free from dust and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals that could damage the aluminum alloy or seals.
  • Luchtkwaliteit: Ensure the compressed air supply is consistently clean and dry. Contaminants can cause internal blockages or wear on seals.
  • Elektrische aansluitingen: Controleer de elektrische aansluitingen op vastheid en corrosie.
  • Coil Integrity: Listen for proper actuation when energized. A weak or absent click may indicate a coil issue.

For internal component maintenance, it is recommended to consult a qualified technician or the manufacturer.

7. Probleemoplossing

If you encounter issues with your U.S. Solid solenoid valve, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProbleemMogelijke oorzaakOplossing
Valve does not actuate (no click sound)No power to coil, incorrect voltage, faulty coil, loose wiring.Check DC 24V power supply. Verify wiring connections (refer to Section 4.3). Test coil resistance if possible. Replace coil if faulty.
Air leak from ports or bodyLoose NPT connections, damaged seals, internal debris.Tighten NPT connections with thread sealant. Inspect and replace seals if damaged. Ensure air supply is clean.
Valve actuates but no air flow changeInternal blockage, incorrect port connections, insufficient air pressure.Check air supply pressure. Verify pneumatic connections are correct. Disassemble and clean internal components if necessary (by qualified personnel).
Valve remains stuck in one positionDebris in valve, weak solenoid, excessive back pressure.Check for debris. Verify coil is receiving full voltage. Ensure system pressure is within limits.
