3.2.1 Auxiliary pilot air
CAUTION
Operate the CP valve terminal only with the medium
described below.
– If possible, use non-lubricated auxiliary pilot air
(connection 12/14). Otherwise the oil content must
not exceed 3-5 drops per 1000 l of air consumed.
Use hydraulic oil of type DIN 51524-HLP32.
Observe the instructions on special oil for main-
tenance units in the Festo Pneumatics Catalogue.
– In the case of CP valve terminals with internally
branched auxiliary pilot air, the above mentioned
instruction also applies to the supply air (connection
1/11).
The CP valve terminal is intended for internal or exter-
nal pilot air, depending on the end plates. Refer to your
order documentation or to the table in chapter 5.3 "In-
ternal/external pilot air" to see which end plates are fit-
ted on your CP terminal.
If the supply pressure of your CP terminal is between 3
and 8 bar, you can work with internal auxiliary pilot air.
In this case the auxiliary pilot air is taken from port 1 or
11 on the left or right-hand end plate.

PLEASE NOTE
If you are using a CP terminal with internal pilot air,
– port 12/14 must be sealed with a blind plug.
