10.1 Pressure relief pilot valve, code 
PVAC1P...
The pressure relief pilot valve code PVAC1P... is opti-
mally tuned for the requirements of the compensator 
valves of the series PV. It has a mounting interface 
NG6 according to DIN 24340 and can be mounted 
directly on top of all compensator valves with the 
topside mounting interface.
Such a valve is only necessary for the compensators 
with elbow manifold (...MT1 and ...UPR) and for the 
versions without integrated pressure pilot cartridge 
(compensator code ends with..Z). Al other versions 
include an integrated pilot valve.

After loosening the lock nut SW13 an adjustment of 
the compensating pressure for the pump is possible 
in a range of approx. 20 bar up to 350 bar.
The pressure pilot valve is also available with a DIN 
lock.
10.2   Multiple pressure pilots PVA-
C1E..., PVAC2P..., PVAC2E... und 
PVAC2M...
For multiple pressure pilots, codes PVAC2P..., 
PVAC2E... and PVAC2M... a sandwich valve with 
two direct-action pressure cartridge valves is used 
to pilot the pump.
For code PVAC2P... a single solenoid directional 
control valve is included for pressure selection. The 
valve switches between low pressure setting and 
high pressure setting. During low pressure both pilot 
cartridges are connected to the compensator, in the 
high pressure setting (solenoid energized) only the 
A-side cartridge is connected. Therefore the B-side 
pilot needs to be set for lower pressure. The direc-
tional control valve series D1VW has spool code  6.
For code PVAC2E... for pressure selection a two- 
solenoid DCV is included, which selects between low 
pressure setting, high pressure setting and stand-by 
pressure. In neutral position both cartridges are con
nected to the compensator valve. The lower pressure 
defines the compensating pressure of the pump. 
When the A solenoid (B-side) of the DCV is energized 
only the A-side cartridge is connected; the (higher) 
pressure adjusted there defines the compensating 
pressure.
When solenoid B is energized the valve spool con-
nects all four ports. Then the spring chamber of the 
compensator valve is directly relieved to the case 
drain of the pump, the pump compensates at mini-
mum compensating pressure (stand-by). 
The directional control valve series D1VW has spool 
code 55. This spool code is used to avoid a blocked 
spool position during transient.
This version is recommended, when during a ma-
chine cycle the pressure is to be switched between 
high and low.
For code PVAC2M... also a dual solenoid valve is 
used. In neutral position all four ports are connected. 
The compensator spring chamber is releived to case 
drain, the pump is compensating at min. compensat-
ing pressure (stand-by).
When energizing solenoid A (B-side) the spring 
chamber is connected to the A-side pilot cartridge; 
the pressure adjusted here controls the pump.
When solenoid B is energized the spring chamber 
of the compensator is connected to pilot cartridge B; 
then the pressure adjusted on this cartridge defines 
the pump compensating pressure. The DCV of series 
D1VW has spool code 2.
This version should be used, when stand-by operation 
should be the default situation.
Code PVAC1E... is similar to code PVAC2P..., with the 
exception, that only one pilot cartridge is installed. In 
neutral position of the D1VW the stand-by pressure 
is selected.
