Output signal U (position feedback signal) 
is dependent on the load resistance. 
Above 500 ohm, it is automatically a 
voltage signal; below 500 ohm a current 
signal.

Forced Control Input 
Figure 8. 
 
If terminal Z for the forced control input is: 
−  not connected, the valve will follow the Y-signal or the phase-cut signal. 
−  connected to G, the valve will fully open via control path A → AB. 
− 
connected to G0, the valve will close via control path A → AB. 
Signal Priority 
1.  Hand wheel position Man or Off 
2.  Forced control signal Z 
3. Phase-cut signal 
4. Signal input Y
