0-5 VDC, 10K Pot or 0-20 mA Input (0–5 VDC, 1)
A convenient, plug-mounted control amplifier for controlling HydraForce proportional valves that have solenoids with DIN 43650A/ISO 4400 electrical connectors.
Product Operation
This control module uses closed-loop current control with superimposed dither to sup-ply a proportional valve solenoid with a proportional control signal. The input signal to this controller can be from a 10K potentiometer, 0–5 VDC, 0–20 mA, or from other
pre-set levels.
Product Features
• Mounts directly to solenoid coils with DIN 43650A connectors.
• IP65 weather resistant when used with base gasket (supplied).
• Adjustments accessible with a removable cover.
• One unit covers supply voltages from 9 to 32 VDC.
• No internal fuses; circuit limits current electronically.
• Short circuit proof and reverse polarity protected.
• Connector can be disconnected from coil when powered.
• Maximum current adjustment does not affect minimum current setting.
• Independent ramp adjustments and internal supply for potentiometer.
• Dither frequency and amplitude are adjustable for maximum valve performance.
