REMARK proportional valves with integral electronics are factory preset with default parameter and ready to use after piping Bias setting: supply input signal just over the Threshold value; increase the Bias until the actuator is start moving, then Reference input signal can be selected between different options.
and electrical connections. Play with parameters is optional, not mandatory! lightly reduce the Bias just to stop the actuator Defaults: 0 ÷ ±10 V for standard and 4 ÷ 20 mA for /I option.
Scale setting: supply the max input signal; adjust the Scale to obtain the max actuator speed Input signal is configurable via software selecting between voltage and current, browsing to Reference page:

In order to access valve parameterization:
• Install E-SW-BASIC software on PC
• Power on the driver with 24VDC
NOTE: if different settings are required use Custom option

4.3 STORE
E-SW-BASIC Parameters modifications will be stored into driver permanent memory
installed on PC OFFSET AND SCALE – 3 POSITION VALVES, ZERO OVERLAP
WARNING: During valve parameters storing operations, the driver automatically shuts down the solenoid power
Offset setting: supply the input signal equal to 0%; adjust the Offset until the actuator is stopped supply for a short time. Do not perform any storing commands while the system is working.
Scale setting: supply the max input signal (positive/negative); adjust the Scale to obtain the max actuator speed in both directions

• dither frequency too low; increase value of the frequency – see STEP 4, section 4.2
• lower frequencies reduce the hysteresis of the valve, too low values can affect the valve stability
• higher frequencies increase regulation stability, but increase also the hysteresis of the valve The valve does not follow the reference signal
Spool position [%] • driver is powered off, verify presence of 24 Vdc power supply and the coil(s) connection

- during restore, the current to the solenoid(s) will be temporarily switched to off!
- factory parameters will be applied at next driver restart or after power off-on sequence!
- perform the bias and scale configurations again!
