Port (C) and port (T) are connected. Spool (5) moves up and down so that the pro- pulsion force of plunger (7) may be balanced with pressure of port (C) + spring load of spring 4) «The circuit pressure between the EPC valve and the LS (PC) valve is controlled in propor- tion to the size of the signal current. C200, 240-8 3) When signal current is maximum (coil is energized) As the signal current flows to coil (2), coil (2) is energized ‘¢ When this happens, the signal current is at its maximum, so the propulsion force of plunger (7) is also at its maximum. * — Spool (5) is pushed toward right side by rod (6). + The maximum volume of pressurized oil is ‘conducted from port (P) to port (C), increasing the circuit pressure across EPC valve and LS (PC) valve to the maximum level Since port (T) is closed, pressurized oil does not flow to the tank. f= aT area reducing value 27
