Warning

F Ensure cable clamp nut is adequately

tightened to secure the cable.
F Do not connect, or disconnect, the
plug while power is on.
F Do not mount, or dismount, the plug
while power is on.

apply 24V DC (20 to 30V limits) to the
“power input” terminals. Ordering Procedure
F Check for correct plug function by Order plug by full model code, and spare

LED. The LED should illuminate when
the demand applied to the “signal
input” terminal is between 200 mV and
10V (or 4 mA and 20 mA) and should
not be illuminated when the applied
demand is less than 100 mV (4 mA). If
there is a malfunction a new plug must
be fitted.

F Switch off power supply and

command/input signal and then install
plug on solenoid. Ensure that all seals
are fitted correctly and clamped as the
retaining screw is tightened: this is
essential in providing IP67 protection.

F Ensure that the hydraulic system will

not cause any erratic movement of
actuators, then:
– Switch on power supply again.
– Repeat LED/function check as in 2.
An LED malfunction now indicates a
short circuit at the load.

F Successful completion of these

checks means that the plug and load
are ready for use.
