INST ALLA TION REQUIREMENTS INSTALLA ALLATION

INST ALLA TION: INSTALLA ALLATION: Valves can be mounted in any attitude. Solenoids can be rotated relative to the pilot stage valve body to suit cable entry. Systems should be flushed clean to ISO 4406 Class 18/15 or better. Bifold Fluidpower FP50/100/200 valves afford excellent sealing characteristics provided high standards of cleanliness are maintained. Where this cannot be assured we recommend the use of valves from the extensive range of Bifold Fluidpower Slide Valves which are . Weights detailed in this catalogue are approximate only more tolerant to fluid borne contaminants.

IMPORT ANT NO TE: Fluidpower FP50, 100 & 200 IMPORTANT NOTE: Series valves have an open centre change over. This means that whilst the valve is changing position, fluid will flow from the pressure supply to the return/tank port. The volume of fluid lost will depend on the system pressure and valve response time. See curves for typical valve response.

Option 1 Supply Return Pilot return must be tubed downstream of any mainline restrictions or direct to resevoir for SV and DV configurations

Valve Limits

In some situations due to cross flow leakage the system pressure local to the valve may fall below the required minimum operating pressure. This will result in the mainstage valve stalling in the mid position. To eliminate the possibility of this problem occuring we offer three alternative solutions. OPTION 1. Install a variable orifice in the supply line e: This should be down stream of the pilot take-off. Not Note: sized and set to maintain sufficient pilot pressure when the valve changes position. OPTION 2. Install an accumulator and non-return valve. This option must be applied when an accumulated supply is not used. (Preferred option) OPTION 3. Connect the pilot supply to a point in the system which is not influenced by the operation of the control valve.

NO TES:NOTES:For 4 way, 2 position two stage valves, the above 3/2 installation requirements apply. For 4 way, 3 position two stage valves, refer to series mounted valve installation details. At no time during operation of the valve to the piloted position should the supply pressure be allowed to fall below the minimum pilot pressure quoted for the operator fitted. Refer to ordering code, operator SHX.
