4 - ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Proportional solenoid
The proportional solenoid comprises two parts: tube and coil.
The tube, screwed to the valve body, contains the armature which
is designed to maintain friction to a minimum thereby reducing
hysteresis.
The coil is mounted on the tube secured by means of a lock nut and
can be rotated through 360° depending on installation clearances.
5 - STEP RESPONSE
(obtained with mineral oil with viscosity of 36 cSt at 50°C and electronic
control cards)
Step response is the time taken for the valve to reach 90% of the
set pressure value following a step change of reference signal.
The table illustrates typical step response times measured with a
valve of pressure range up to 140 bar and with an input flow rate of
Q = 2 l/min.
6 - INSTALLATION
We recommend to install the PRED3 valve either in horizontal
position, or vertical position with the solenoid downward. If the valve
is installed in vertical position and with the solenoid upward, you
must consider possible variations of the minimum controlled
pressure, if compared to what is indicated in paragraph 2.
Ensure that there is no air in the hydraulic circuit. In particular
applications, it can be necessary to vent the air entrapped in the
solenoid tube, by using the apposite drain screw in the solenoid
tube. Ensure that the solenoid tube is always filled with oil (see par.
7). At the end of the operation, make sure of having screwed
correctly the drain screw.
Connect the valve T port directly to the tank. Add any backpressure
value detected in the T line to the controlled pressure value.
Maximum admissible backpressure in the T line, under operational
conditions, is 2 bar.
Valves are fixed by means of screws or tie rods on a flat surface
with planarity and roughness equal to or better than those indicated
in the relative symbols. If minimum values are not observed, fluid
can easily leak between the valve and support surface.

3 - HYDRAULIC FLUIDS
Use mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids HL or HM type, according to ISO 6743-4. For these fluids, use NBR seals. For fluids HFDR type
(phosphate esters) use FPM seals (code V). For the use of other kinds of fluid such as HFA, HFB, HFC, please consult our technical
department.
Using fluids at temperatures higher than 80 °C causes a faster degradation of the fluid and of the seals characteristics. The fluid must be
preserved in its physical and chemical characteristics.
