4.  Standard pressure compensator 
with D03  interface, code ...MM1
The standard pressure compensator code ...MM1 
has topside an NG6/Cetop 3/NFPA D03 interface for 
the mounting of suitable pilot valves. This compensa-
tor can for example be directly equipped with a pro-
portional pressure pilot valve for electrical pressure 
setting (ordering code ...MMK, see figure on page 9).
The pilot valve must be capable of pilot flows of 
approx. 1,2 l/min. Therefore a nominal flow range of  
3 - 6 l/min is recommended. A too small as well as 
a too large pilot valve can lead to unsatisfactory 
compensator performance.
In addition the compensator can be equipped with a 
directional control valve for stand-by (unloading) func-
tions (ordering code ...MMW, see figure on page 9).
Please note: when mounting accessories (e. g.: 
proportional pressure pilot valve) or external (remote) 
control the integrated pilot valve first must be turned 
in to avoid too early pressure limitation.

5.  Standard pressure compensator for 
accessory mounting, code ...MMZ
interface NG6 DIN 24 340
Version ...MMZ is designed especially for compen-
sator accessory mounting (ordering code PVAC..., 
see chapter 12).
Because the accessory packages come with their 
own pilot valves, this version has no integrated pilot 
catridge to avoid unwanted interaction.
For more details on the different compensator op-
tions see also the PV compensator spare parts 
manual for compensator design 45, Parker bulletin 
PVI-PVC-45-GB.pdf.
Note:
Checking and adjusting the compensator differential 
should always be done by using two pressure sen-
sors/gages. Measuring one pressure only (pump 
outlet pressure) and assuming, that the pilot pres-
sure at fully unloaded pilot valve resp. with unload 
proportional pilot valve is 0 bar can lead to completely 
wrong adjustments.
The different pilot valves can cause even at the nomi-
nal pilot flow (1,2 - 1,4 l/min) already significant back 
pressures which add to the compensator differential.
Only if the pilot pressure chamber is completely un-
loaded (e. g.: when one of the side plugs is removed 
or the DCV is in stand-by mode) it can be assumed, 
that the pilot pressure is zero and pump outlet pres-
sure is equal to the compensator differential setting.
