GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This Pressure Control Pilot (PCP) is an intrinsically safe, torque motor-actuated, double-nozzle flapper valve that produces
a differential output pressure proportional to the applied electrical input signal. It is a single-stage, stand-alone, closed-loop
pressure control valve which uses internal hydraulic pressure reactions to achieve its closed-loop control characteristics. The
PCP contains an arc suppression circuit for use in hazardous areas.

The term "intrinsically safe" refers to a design technique based on limiting energy, electrical and thermal, to a level below that
required to ignite a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture. This device is Factory Mutual certified for use in Class I, II, or III,
Division 1, Group C, D, F, and G hazardous locations as defined by the National Electrical Code, NFPA-70 when used with
approved barriers.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
A C
• Dual coil • Current/voltage range: up to 170 mA at 4.50 Vdc (linear
20Ω 16Ω range) Maximum 325 mA at 7.5 Vdc
B D
• Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
• Phasing: The PCP is designed to be controlled from a dc current
Positive voltage to pin A produces a pressure rise at source or voltage source. If a PWM signal is used, do not
output port C1 use a pulse current of more than 120% of that required.
Positive voltage to pin B produces a pressure rise at
output port C2 • Scale factor: 0.78 ± 0.08 psid / mA

 HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS
• Maximum supply pressure: 1000 psid
Recommended range: 300 - 500 psid
• Maximum return pressure: 200 psid
• Maximum internal leakage: 0.65 gpm
• Maximum linear psid output pressure: 200 psid at 300
psid supply
• Load flow: the output differential flow across a 100 psid
load pressure drop at maximum current: > 30 cim
• Hydraulic Fluid: Petroleum based, other fluids may be
used provided that they are compatibile with viton and
fluorosilicone seals, fluid cleanliness is ISO 4406 code
18/15 or better
• Hydraulic Null Adjustment: The PCP null adjustment is
sometimes required when configured with the servovalve
(KVF) or applied as a stand-alone. If the PCP null takes
an offset of <15 psid (>15 psid, consult factory) across
C1 and C2 ports it can usually be reestablished to the
original factory setting. To adjust, remove the null access
screw (see Dimensions) and with a 3/32 inch hex head
Allen wrench locate the adjusting screw just inside the
cover. Turn screw in very small increments until the
servovalve neutral is established or C1 and C2 psid is as
close to 0 as possible. When finished, replace access
screw. If the PCP is configured with an Electrical
Displacement Control (EDC) mounted to a pump, never
adjust an EDC neutral using the PCP null adjustment.
EDCs are adjusted at their second stage.
