Introduction
Category 3 applications - e.g. Air Dump/Release.
FEATURES:
APPLICATIONS:
Dynamic Monitoring:
•
Monitoring and air flow control functions are integrated into two identical valve elements
for CAT 3 applications. The valve exhausts downstream air if asynchronous movement of valve elements occurs
during actuation or de-actuation, resulting in a residual outlet pressure of less than 1% of supply. If the abnormality
clears itself, the valve will return to the ready-to-run state; there is no memory of the abnormal behavior, as in
ROSS’ DM
2®
Series E and DM
2®
Series C products that require an intentional reset following lockout.
Basic 3/2 Normally Closed Valve Function:
•
Dirt tolerant, wear compensating poppet design for quick response
and high flow capacity. Teflon back-up rings on pistons to enhance valve endurance – operates with or without
inline lubrication.
Ready-to-run:
•
If an abnormality clears itself upon the removal of electricity to both solenoids, it will be ready-to-
run again. It does not remember the abnormality & stay in a locked-out state until intentionally reset. Therefore,
cumulative abnormalities may go undetected.
Status Indicator:
•
The above products include a pressure switch with both NO & NC contacts to provide status
feedback to the control system indicating whether the valve is in the “ready-to-run” condition or has experienced
abnormal function. This indicator only reports status it is not part of a lockout function.
Silencers:
•
All models include high flow, clog resistant silencers.
Mounting:
•
Inline mounted – with BSPP or NPT pipe threads. Inlet and outlet ports on both sides provide for
flexible piping (plugs for unused ports included).
This valve is not designed for controlling clutch/brake mechanisms on mechanical power presses.
