for the functioning of the MPA−S valve terminal.
Position of the pneumatic ports
Note
If the MPA−S valve terminals are equipped with flat plate
silencers, the exhaust (3/5) and (82/84) will be vented
through the flat plate silencers.
Note
On the MPA−S valve terminal with exhaust plates, the pilot
exhaust is vented on at least one supply plate via
connection (82/84).
Fit the threaded connector or the silencers according to the
table below. Then lay the tubing.
Note
Make sure that the proportional pressure regulator is
supplied with a constant pressure. A constant supply
pressure is necessary for good control quality.
Foraconstant pressure supply use the separate supply
connection on the sub−base of the proportional pressure
regulator.
