SERIES
SOLENOID VALVES
Koganei, which has always supplied
products compatible with customer
needs, has recently developed the 240
series valves in response to worksite
requirements. The 240 series valves
are suitable for operating mid-sized
cylinders of bore sizes 63mm [2.480in.]
to 100mm [3.937in.], and offer every
required function. In addition to 5-port
2-position types, closed center and
exhaust center 3-position valves are
included in the product range.
Serial transmission modules, which
are compatible with connecting
directly to various manufacturers’
PCs, are also included in the product
variations.
The series realizes optimum system
design, offering space saving as well
as reducing wiring and piping work.

One-touch connect /disconnect Easy to increase or decrease the number

Plug-In Connector for Wiring
Connections
●A plug-in connector is available for wiring connections between
the solenoid valve and sub-base, as well as between the solenoid
valve and manifold, so that you can remove the solenoid valve
without disturbing the wiring portion.
of manifold units
Stacking Type Manifold
●You can increase or decrease the number of manifold units
easily due to the individual manifold construction using each
solenoid valve mounted unit.
●You can stock manifold bases as single units, thereby offering
you a reduction in stocking costs.

Stacking
The A Type, B Type, AW Type and BW Type
manifolds are the stacking type, for flexible
addition or reduction of units.
●Assembly instructions
240M□A and 240M□B
Loosening the joint mounting bolts (hexagon
socket head bolts) w on both ends and
removing the joint q lets the stations be
separated.
To add units, position the O-rings y and u
and gasket t in the stacking unit stations,
install the joint, and tighten the joint
mounting bolts.
240M□AW and 240M□BW
Loosen the set screw on the terminal cover,
remove the terminal cover o and
connection cover !0, and pull out the
terminal block i.
Loosening the joint mounting bolts on both
sides and removing the joint lets the stations
be separated. To add units, first position O-
rings and gaskets in the stations to be
added, install the joint, and tighten the joint
mounting bolts. Then, fit the terminal block,
secure the terminal cover in place with
mounting screws, and fit the connection
cover.
Bottom port
Since the B Type and BW Type manifolds
have piping ports on the bottom of the
manifold, both the bottom and side ports can
be used as required.
●Piping port location
With the 1(P) port on both ends and the
bottom surface, the 4(A) and 2(B) ports on
the side and bottom surfaces, and the 3(R2)
and 5(R1) ports on both ends and the
bottom surface, piping is allowed in any
location. Use the plugs provided with the
manifold, with sealing tape or another
sealing agent, to block off the unused ports.
Port isolator
Port isolators on the 1(P), 3(R2) and
5(R1) ports can be used to separate them
from adjacent stations, to allow supply of
different pressures, or to prevent exhaust
interference.
Port isolators can be fitted and assembled
between stations in place of the O-rings y
to separate the 1(P), 3(R2) and 5(R1) ports
from adjacent stations. For stations split by
port isolators, plumb the 1(P), 3(R2) and
5(R1) ports on the bottom.
Block-off plate
To close up the unused stations, use a
block-off plate (order code: -BP).

Wiring instructions
In the plug-in type, the terminal block and
solenoid are connected by a plug and
socket. Loosen the terminal cover mounting
screws, remove the terminal cover, and
then pull out the terminal block and connect
it. Fit the connected terminal block into the
sub-base or manifold, mount the terminal
cover, then secure the mounting screws in
place.
Connect the single solenoid leads to the
No. 2 (＋, −) terminal.
In the double solenoid, the No.1 (＋, −)
terminals are connected to the valve’s
solenoid 12 (S1), and the No.2 (＋, −)
terminals to the solenoid 14 (S2). For DC
models, pay attention to the polarity. While
a wrong in polarity will not cause a short
circuit, the valve will not operate.
For the terminal, use the round terminal
JIS2805 R type 1.25-3 or equivalent.
To order the terminal block and other parts
for adding units, see the manifold parts
order item on p.657. A collective common
type manifold that uses crossover contacts
can also be manufactured. Consult us.
