Dynamic Monitoring With Complete Memory:

  Memory, monitoring, and air flow control functions are 

simply integrated into two identical valve elements.  Valves lock-out due to asynchronous movement of valve 
elements during actuation or de-actuation, resulting in a residual outlet pressure of less than 1% of supply.  

An Action is Required for Reset

 – cannot be reset by removing and re-applying supply pressure.  Reset 

can only be accomplished by the optional integrated electrical (solenoid) reset.

Basic 3/2 Normally Closed Valve Function:

  

Dirt tolerant, wear compensating poppet design for quick 

response and high flow capacity.  PTFE back-up rings on pistons to enhance valve endurance – operates 
with or without inline lubrication.

Status Indicator: 

Includes a pressure switch with both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) 

contacts to provide status feedback to the control system indicating whether the valve is in the lockout or 
ready-to-run condition.  

Silencers:

 

 All models include high flow, clog resistant silencers.

Mounting:

  Base mounted – with BSPP or NPT pipe threads.  Inlet and outlet ports on both sides provide 

for flexible piping (plugs for unused ports included).  Captive valve-to-base mounting screws.  

Basic Size 12 and 30 

Intermediate Pilots:

  Increases pilot air flow for fast valve response, making it possible to use the same size 

solenoids as valve sizes 2, 4 & 8, thereby reducing electrical power requirements for these larger valves.

Construction: 

Dual poppet.  

Mounting Type: 

 Base mounted.

Pilot Solenoids: 

According to VDE 0580.  Enclosure rating according to 

DIN 400 50 IP 65.  Three solenoids, rated for continuous duty.

Standard Voltages/Pilot Solenoids Power Consumption 

(each solenoid):

Basic Size 2, 4, 12 & 30: 

Primary and reset solenoids:  

24 volts DC; 110 volts AC, 50 Hz; 120 volts AC, 50/60 Hz.
5.8 watts nominal on AC and DC; 6.5 watts maximum on AC and DC.

Basic Size 8: 

Primary solenoids: 

 15 watts on DC;  36 VA inrush and 24.6 VA holding on AC.

Reset solenoid: 

 6.0 watts on DC; 15.8 VA inrush and 10.4 VA holding on AC.

Enclosure Rating: 

 IP65, IEC 60529. 

Electrical Connection:

 EN 175301-803 Form A, or M12. 

Ambient Temperature:

  15° to 122°F (-10° to 50°C).

Media Temperature:  

40° to 175°F

 

(4° to 80°C).

Flow Media:

 Filtered, lubricated or unlubricated (mineral oils according 

to DIN 51519, viscosity classes 32-46).   

Inlet Pressure:

  

Basic Size 2: 

 

45 to 150 psig (3.1 to 10.3 bar).

 Dynamically, cyclically, internally during each actuating and 

de-actuating movement.  Monitoring function has memory and requires 
an overt act to reset unit after lockout.

Mounting Orientation:

  Preferably horizontally (valve on top of base) or 

vertically with pilot solenoids on top.
