5. Operating lnstructions
Basically the valve performs the task of converting a
command signal into a proportional spool stroke with
the highest possible dynamic. For these purposes
the input value will be electronically compared
with the actual spool position value. The signal
difference feeds a position controller, that in turn
provides via a power amplifier stage the required
current for the actuator.
Preferred Hydraulic lnitial State
The valve has a mechanical Spool overlapping of
approx.2,o/o. An integrated electronic overlap com-
pensation equalizes the dynamic disadvantages and
) in this way enables the usage of the valve within
closed loop applications.
Solenoid Current Monitoring
The electronic driver contains a circuit to monitor
valve the solenoid current. The current measurement
compares for exceeding of a certain value and
switches off after a time period ol approx. 10 sec.
for temperature rise protection of the actuator.
For normal operating conditions this state will not

The condensed function conditions of the actuator
drive are given below:
The actuator drive is enabled, if:
the actuator drive is in normal operation, AND cur-
rent of > 3.8 mA flows into input (4...20 mA option)
The actuator drive is disabled, if:
the actuator drive is in overload operation, OR cur-
rent of < 3.6 mA flows into input (4...20 mA option)
Zero Position Adjustment
The valve zero position is already pre-adjusted bythe
factory. However, the valve has additionally the op-
tion for manual adiustment of the zero position.This
allows for zero adjustment of the f low independently
from further system parameters. The adjustment
takes place by a multiturn trimming potentiometer,
which is accesible on the top side of the valve after
removing of a cover screw. Required default condi-
tions prior to the adjustment procedure:
. supply voltage switched on
. command inputsignal of 0V resp.0 mA/12mA
. hydraulic system switched on

a blade width of 2 mm.

Operation Manual
Air Bleeding of Hydraulic System
During initial startup, after an oil change as well as
after the opening of lines or valves the hydraulic
system must be air bleeded. Air in the hydraulic
system is very disadvantageous and therefore
undesirable for the control system. The pipeline
network is vented at its highest point. The fitting
may be loosened a little so that the air can escape
with only a small amount of oil loss. When the oil
is no longer foaming, the fitting is re-tightened.
Afterwards all functions are run through, one after
the other, in no-load operation with low pressure
and with full cylinder stroke. Alterwards the system
should be vented once more.
