Not following the instructions can result in serious accidents with fatal injuries. In order to make the information clear only foreseeable conditions have been considered, No warnings are given, therefore, for situations arising from unintended usage of the machine and its tools.

Application ‘The solenoid valve block supplies water for different functions ina separation system. The water supply is opened and closed by the control unit. 1.2 Design The valve block consists of three solenoid valves assembled together in a block with hose connections for each valve outlet. ‘The valves (3) have a common water supply channel which is connected to a high pressure water supply (A) via a strainer (4), Al vacuum breaker (2) protects the supply line from under pressure. The outlet flow of each of the valves|is controlled by a constant flow valve mounted in the valve outlet. A non-return valve is attached to the constant flow valve.

There is also an indicator (6) for each valve which rotates when the solenoid is energized, i.e. the valve is open. All valves can be opened and closed manually by pushing and turing the lever (5). 1.3 Working Principle When a solenoid is energized, it pulls the valve diaphragm up and lets water out through the valve outlet. The indicator (6) rotates. The flow of the outgoing water is determined by the constant flow valve (3) and is kept constant even at large variations in water supply pressure. When the control unit switches off the voltage to the solenoid, the diaphragm goes down and closes the valve outlet. The AC indicator (6) stops rotating. ‘The vacuum breaker (2) lets air in if the pressure in the supply line is lower than outside. This is to prevent water being sucked in from the valve outlet and polluting the supply water line.

( DANGER Disintegration hazard If the strainer is clogged, water is not supplied to the separator bow! for conditioning of the sludge. This can lead to breakdown and fatal injury. © Disassemble and clean the solenoid valve at regular service intervals or when required, see below. © Measure the water flows occasionally to check if the constant flow valves are worn. (Manually open the valve for e.g. one minute and measure the amount of water flowing out. See the spare parts list for flow values.) 11818006-023 Maintenance 3.2 Disassembly and Cleaning NOTE Switch off electrical power and depressurize the valve block before disassembly. Boe © Make sure the lever for manual operation is in the vertical position. Otherwise the diaphragm spring could be damaged. * Take care not to drop and lose the core spring when removing the core/diaphragm subassembly, * Place the core spring with its wide end first into the core when assembling the solenoid. The closed end should protrude from top of the core. © Make sure the O- rings are properly placed in their grooves before assembly. 3.3 Replacing a Constant Flow Valve © Lubricate the O-rings with silicon grease. * Place the constant flow valve in the housing without the use of any tool. Make sure the valve is inserted in the correct position, with the attached non-return. valve downwards. © Apply Loctite 542 on the hose nipple before fitting it.
