ZDE3K*are direct operated pressure reducing valves,
with electric proportional control, with ISO 4401-03
mounting surface.
They are compliant with ATEX, IECEx and INMETRO
requirements and are suitable for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres, for surface plants or mines.
A low temperature version (up to - 40 °C) is also
available.
The valves are used to reduce pressure in the
secondary circuit branches thus ensuring stability of
controlled pressure in the event of variations of the flow
rate through the valve.
ZDE3K* valves are supplied with a nishing surface
treatment (zinc-nickel) suitable to ensure a salt spray
resistance up to 600 hours.
Details for classification, operating temperatures
and electrical characteristics are in the technical
data sheet 02 500 ‘Explosion proof classification’.

4.2 - Electrical diagram 4.3 - Overcurrent fuse and switch-off voltage peak
Upstream of each valve, an appropriate fuse (max 3 x In according
to IEC 60127) or a protective motor switch with short-circuit and
thermal instantaneous tripping, as short-circuit protection, must be
connected. The cut-off power of the fuse must correspond or
exceed the short circuit current of the supply source.
The fuse or the protective motor must be placed outside the
dangerous area or they must be protected with an explosion-proof
covering.
In order to safeguard the electronic device to which the valve is
connected, there is a protection circuit in the coil, that reduces
voltage peaks, which can occur when inductances are switched off.
The table shows the type of fuse recommended according to the
nominal voltage of the valve and to the value of the voltage peaks
reduction.
Characteristics of the cables connectable for wiring are indicated in the table below:
Cables for wiring must be non-armoured cables, with external covering sheath and must be suitable for use in environments with temperatures
from - 20 °C to +110 °C (for valves either with N or V seals) or from - 40 °C to +110 °C (for valves with NL seals).
Cable glands (which must be ordered separately, see paragraph 10) allow to use cables with external diameter between 8 and 10 mm.

4.1 - Wiring
In order to realise the electrical connection of the coil, it is necessary to access the terminal block (1) unscrewing the 4 screws (2) that fasten
the cover (3) with the box (4) that contains the terminal block.
The electrical connection is polarity-independent.
By doing electrical connection it is important to connect also the grounding point (5) in the terminal block box (M4 screws), through suitable
conductors with the general grounding line of the system.
On the external body of the coil there is a grounding point (6) (M4 screw) that allow to ensure equipotentiality between the valve and the
general grounding line of the system; connecting this point the regulation of the EN 13463-1 standard, that impose to verify the equipotentiality
of the elements included in a potentially explosive environment (the maximum resistance between the elements must be 100 ), is
guaranteed.
At the end of the electrical wiring, it is necessary to reassemble the cover (3) on the box (4), checking the correct positioning of the seal located
in the cover seat and fastening the 4 M5 screws with a torque of 4.9 ÷ 6 Nm.
Electrical wiring must be done following in compliance with standards about protection against explosion hazards.

8 - MANUAL OVERRIDE CB
CB - Blind ring nut
The metal ring nut protects the solenoid tube from atmospheric
agents and isolates the manual override from accidental
operations. The ring nut is tightened on a threaded fastener
that keeps the coil in its position even without the ring nut.
To access the manual override loose the ring nut and remove
it; then reassemble hand tightening, until it stops.
Activate the manual override always and only with non-
sparking tools suitable for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
More information on safe use of explosion-proof components
are provided in the instruction manual, always supplied with
the valve.
CAUTION!: The manual override doesn't allow any
proportional regulation; indeed using this kind of
override, the main stage spool will open
completely and the whole inlet pressure will pass
through A or B line.

6 - 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 fluid types 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.
7 - INSTALLATION
Installation must adheres to instructions reported in the Use and Maintenance manual, always attached to the valve.
Unauthorized interventions can be harmful to people and goods because of the explosion hazards present in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
The valves can be installed in any position without impairing correct operation.
Ensure that there is no air in the hydraulic circuit.
Connect the valve T port directly to the tank. Add any backpressure value detected in the T line to
the reduced pressure value.
In the T line the maximum admissible backpressure is 30 bar, under operational conditions.
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.

2 - IECEx CLASSIFICATION AND TEMPERATURES
The IECEx certification requires the classification of the electrical equipment only.
Duplomatic supplies valves with IECEx certified coils, suitable for application and installation in potentially explosive atmospheres. The
mechanical construction of the coil housing is made in order to ensure its resistance to possible internal explosion and to avoid any explosion
propagation to the outside environment, matching an “Ex db” type protection (explosion-proof coil).
Moreover, the solenoid is designed to maintain its surface temperature below the limits specified to the relevant class.
The supply always includes the operating and maintenance manual, that contains all the information needed for a correct use of the
valve in potentially explosive environment.

3 - INMETRO CLASSIFICATION AND TEMPERATURES
The INMETRO certification requires the classification of the electrical equipment only.
Duplomatic supplies valves with INMETRO certified coils, suitable for application and installation in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The mechanical construction of the coil housing is made in order to ensure its resistance to possible internal explosion and to avoid any
explosion propagation to the outside environment, matching an “Ex d” type protection (explosion-proof coil).
Moreover, the solenoid is designed to maintain its surface temperature below the limits specified to the relevant class.
The supply always includes the operating and maintenance manual, that contains all the information needed for a correct use of the
valve in potentially explosive environment.
3.1 - INMETRO classification
Certificate of conformity: DNV 15.0094 X
The valves are suitable for applications and installations in potentially explosive atmospheres that fall within:

There is a plate with the INMETRO mark on each coil.
