Control
The magnetic actuator can be driven by any controller with a 0/2 to 10 Vdc or 0/4 to
20 mA output signal.
To achieve optimum control performance, it is recommended to use a 4-wire connection
for the valve.
NOTE: When using a dc power supply a 4-wire connection is mandatory.
The controller’s signal ground terminal M must be connected to the valve’s terminal M.
Terminals M and G0 have the same potential and are internally interconnected in the
valve’s electronics.
CAUTION:
You must use a four-wire connection with Vdc power supply.
Basic Diagram
Spring Return Action
If the power or positioning signal is switched off or fails, the valve control path
(port A → AB) is automatically closed by the force of the spring.
