1. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
1.1. Principle of operation
A solenoid valve is a valve for neutral, clean liquids and gases, which is
electrically controlled with the aid of a solenoid. 2/2 way means that the

Water flow (l/min)

valve has two ports (input / output) and two positions (closed / open). The
valve is normally closed, this means that the valve is closed when de-
energized.

Semi-direct operated solenoid valves combine the properties of both direct

and indirect operated solenoid valves. The force that is required to open
and close the diaphragm is supplied by both the solenoid plunger as well as
the pressure of the medium. This allows them to work from zero bar
pressure differential. Furthermore, they can control a high flow rate with a
relatively small solenoid core. They can be used in only one flow direction.
This type of solenoid valves is used in systems that require a reasonable flow
rate, but the pressure difference between input and output is low or
unknown. 10

different pipe diameters. The stainless steel valves (SS) of the ST-SA
series have a lower flow rate due to a smaller orifice.

solutions to this problem:
► Reduce the pressure with a pressure reducing

► Increase the pipe diameter if possible.
► Dampen the water hammer by using a flexible
hose or buffer before the solenoid valve.

Installation of the coil

► Make sure the coil is labeled with the valve characteristics.The
device can be damaged by the use of unsuitable tools.
► The temperature of the coil increases during use, this is normal.
Overheating will cause smoke and a burning smell. In this case, the
power supply must be shut down immediately.
► The coils can be rotated if the coil nut is loosened. After the
determination of the correct position, the nut should be fastened
with a torque of 5Nm.

thoroughly to avoid ingress of moisture. Ensure that drops in cannot
slip along the cable and enter the connector.

Connecting the power supply

► Never connect power to the coil when it is not not attached
to the solenoid valve! The coil may burn out.
► Only connect power if you are sure that there is no pressure
in the system and no hazardous situations can occur.
