11 Description
The ICO3 Solenoid Valve is an electrically operated control valve consisting of a solenoid which
operates a poppet valve connected to the solenoid enclosure.

The solenoid consists of a cast stainless steel cylindrical enclosure (solenoid pot) and a top threaded
cover. The top cover provides access to the terminal compartment and is fitted with an O-ring
interface seal. The solenoid pot housing has a perpendicular raised flat boss moulded onto the side,
which has a locking set screw for the cover, an external earth connection point and a threaded
conduit entry point. The solenoid enclosure contains an internal encapsulated coil positioned below
the terminal compartment and secured within the solenoid pot by the enclosure base (Pot Base) and
circlip arrangement, the base is additionally fitted with two interface O-ring seals. The coil contains
internal magnetic steel core and armature components to form the solenoid.

The valve operates using electromagnetic force in the solenoid coil to actuate an armature which
passes through the solenoid pot base; both these are manufactured from magnetic steel. The
armature then operates the valve, therefore, controlling the flow of media through the valve.

The valve has the following ratings, number of ports and operation configurations:

24 Vac to 240 Vac, 40 to 60 Hz or 12 Vdc to 240 Vdc

Automatic 3/2, 2/2 and 5/2, manual reset and tamperproof manual reset, manual override and
automatic latching options.

The fasteners used on the ICO3 Solenoid Valves shall be an minimum of Steel Grade 12.9 or
Stainless Steel Grade A2-70.

Design options:

 The internal circuitry can be either full-wave rectifying, half-wave rectifying or transient
suppression.
 Transient suppression circuitry may be made up of diodes, Zener diodes or a voltage
dependant resistor.
 Circuits may be fitted with line monitoring resistors.
 The cable entry may be one of the following types and sizes:
- M20 x 1.5, in accordance with ISO965, parts 1 &3.
- ½” NPT, in accordance with ANSI/ASME B1.20.1
- PG 13.5, in accordance with DIN 40430
All entry threads comply with EN 60079-1:2014, clause 5, tables 4 or 5and clause C.2.2,
as applicable.
