Operational Information.
The ‘NEW’ 5A Electro-Hydraulic pump Stroker Driver is designed to operate continuously in any environment from a single
polarity +24VDC ( +/-20%) supply voltage.
The driver use the latest ‘MosFet’ type output stage with ‘Current Feedback’ to ensure accurate efficient operation of the
pump stroker valve, while giving an unrivaled linear output characteristic relative to a linear command voltage. Due to the
current feedback sensing circuit, the 5A’s valve coil MUST be individually connected using separate cables and NONE of
these wires should be connected to Earth, 0V or shared with any other valve driver or coil.
The output driver is ‘Normally Off’ but on application of a command signal, uses Pulse Width Modulation ( PWM ) which, is
pre-set to approx. 2000Hz to suit the type and size of valve being driven,
This PWM frequency is deliberately kept to a very high value to avoid damage to the 5A Pump Strokers ‘Jet-Pipe’ assembly
and to ensure maximum durability, accuracy and operational life from the product.
The Proportional output drive from this unit is capable of driving a single coil in ‘Push-Pull’ configuration where only ONE
direction of pump stroke is available at any one time.
The 5A pump strokers start point ( Minimum flow ) is set by ‘I Min’ while the end point ( Maximum flow ) is set by ‘I Max’ for
each individual coil by the potentiometers on the front panel. The minimum output value ( I Min ) will only be seen on the
respective output drive AFTER the +/-250mV ‘Zero-Band’ has been exceeded by the command signal.
The ‘I Min’ A & B and’ I Max’ A & B adjustments are CLOCKWISE to INCREASE the relative channels output current and
ANTI-CLOCKWISE to DECREASE the output current with all four potentiometers being approx. 20 turn variety ( ±5 turns )
with mechanical end stop slipping clutches to protect them from over adjustment.
The Standard unit is supplied with the ‘S’ link in a NULL STORAGE POSITION and is therefore defaulted to 0 to +/-5V
command. This can by easily changed by altering links S1, or S3, which configures the unit to accept 0 to +/-20mA OR 0 to
+/- 10V command signals respectively. The unit has an internal comparitor detection circuit which will ignore any command
signal input upto +/- 250mV ( Approx. ). This is done to ensure that when zero drive is required, it can be achieved without
the fear of ‘Electrical Noise’ on the command signal wires causing an erroneous valve operation. This ‘Zero-Band’ also allows
for mechanical tolerances and increasing ‘sloppiness’ in Joysticks or potentiometers at the zero position with age and usage.
With the addition and fitting of the 027-22072-0 sub-board, the dual driver unit can accept the industry standard 4 to 20mA
command signal and offer Bi or Uni-Directional control of the proportional valve selected by links ‘C1’ or ‘C2’. When the Sub-
board is fitted, the current command is connected directly to it via connectors ‘X’ & ‘Y’ ( See ‘Command Input Details Sheet’ in
this manual ).
The 027-22072-0 sub-board also has a built in ‘Loop Fault’ detector circuit which activates if the current loop input falls below
approx.. 3.7mA. If this occurs, the command signal is immediately sent to zero ( the output led’s will immediately go ‘Off’ ) and
held there until the current loop goes above the 3.7mA threshold when the driver will again start to follow the command. At
the same time, an open collector circuit is triggered and made available on terminals ‘T1’ & ‘T2’ which goes from a ‘HI’ level (
approx.. 8V with 3K3 pull-up ) to a ‘LO’ level ( approx. 0V ) on error. A front panel led also lights as a visual indicator of the
problem.
The units Ramp Generator is of the linear variety, is imposed onto the command signal and is fully adjustable from the front
panel potentiometers in the range of 20mS to 10 Secs ( Approx.) The ‘UP’ slope adjustment effects any signal going from a
numerically smaller value to a Larger one ( i.e. +1V to +4V OR -1V to -4V ) In any quadrant, while the ‘DOWN’ adjustment
effects any signal going from Larger numeric value to a smaller one ( i.e. -4V to -1V OR +4V to +1V ) again In any quadrant.
The ramp generator adjustments are CLOCKWISE to INCREASE rate of change of signal ( longer ramp time ) and ANTI-
CLOCKWISE to DECREASE the rate of change of signal ( shorter ramp time ) with both potentiometers being approx. 20 turn
variety with mechanical end stop slipping clutches to protect them from over adjustment.
For added safety, the units have a separate ‘High Current’ input supply for the output stage. This connection MUST be made
for the unit to work and should normally be connected to the supply voltage via a NORMALLY CLOSED ‘Emergency Stop’
switch. If this switch is opened, the output Immediately goes to zero, the ‘A’ or ‘B’ output On led’s on the front panel go ‘OFF’
and the front panel led marked as ‘Emergency Stop’ illuminates( this will only happen IF the other ‘Low Current’ supply input
is connected and powered ).

Troubleshooting Guide
• Cannot achieve full flow at full command and full ‘I Max’ adjustment.
1) Check supply voltage is fully +24V and is stable under load conditions.
2) Ensure that the strokers mechanical ‘Max’ end stop adjustments are set correctly.
• The ‘Emergency stop’ red led is always lit and no output is available.
1) Ensure that there is voltage supply to terminal No. 2 ( Valve supply input ).
• The output from the driver goes between zero and full on only with no proportionality.
1) Ensure that there is a coil connected to the output on terminals 9 & 10.
2) Check that the coil wires (2) are not shorted and correctly connected to the driver unit.
• The pump strokes the wrong way for a positive command input.
1) Reverse the wire connections on terminals 9 & 10.
• The pump has flow even at zero command and with both output lights off.
The pump has a mechanical offset within the stroker unit.
1) Remove the electrical connector plug on the stroker.
2) Adjust the strokers zero screw to achieve zero flow.
3) re-connect the electrical connector.
