DISTRIBUTION VALVE OPTION
Warren Rupp’s solenoid shifted,
air distribution valve option utilizes
electrical signals to precisely control
your MARATHON’s speed. The
solenoid coil is connected to a customer
- supplied control. Compressed air
provides the pumping power, while
electrical signals control pump speed
(pumping rate).
OPERATION
The Solenoid Shifted MARATHON has a
solenoid operated, air distribution valve
in place of the standard MARATHON’s
pilot operated, air distribution valve.
Where a pilot valve is normally utilized
to cycle the pump’s air distribution
valve, an electric solenoid is utilized.
As the solenoid is powered, one of the
pump’s air chambers is pressurized
while the other chamber is exhausted.
When electric power is turned off, the
solenoid shifts and the pressurized
chamber is exhausted while the other
chamber is pressurized. By alternately
applying and removing power to the
solenoid, the pump cycles much like a
standard MARATHON pump, with one
exception. This option provides a way
to precisely control and monitor pump
speed.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before wiring the solenoid, make
certain it is compatible with your
system voltage.
