Cleaning
All solenoid valves should be cleaned periodically. The time between
cleaning will vary depending on the medium and service conditions. In
general, if the voltage to the coil is correct, sluggish valve operation,
excessive noise or leakage will indicate that cleaning is required. In the
extreme case, faulty valve operation will occur and the valve may fail to
Preventive Maintenance
•
foreign material as possible.
• While in service, the valve should be operated at least once a month
to insure proper shifting.
• Depending on the media and service conditions, periodic inspection
of internal valve parts for damage or excessive wear is recommended.
Thoroughly clean all parts. If parts are worn or damaged, install a
complete ASCO Rebuild Kit.
Causes of Improper Operation
• Incorrect Pressure: Check valve pressure. Pressure to valve must be
• Excessive Leakage: Disassemble valve and clean all parts. If parts
are worn or damaged, install a complete ASCO Rebuild Kit.
• Incorrect Voltage: Check supply voltage. Voltage must be at least
85% of rated voltage.
• Burned-Out Solenoid: Check for open-circuited solenoid. Replace
on nameplate.
When disassembling or re-assembling
the valve, the utmost care should be taken to avoid any
damage to the enclosure-body connection bore, body-
enclosure mounting shaft, enclosure cover threads or SBSA
threads. These joints constitute the critical ame paths of the
ameproof solenoid. The ameproof joints are not intended to
be repaired. Do not paint these surfaces.

the National Electrical Codes (as applicable).
M20 x 1.5 cable gland connection. The coil is not polarity sensitive. To
facilitate wiring, the solenoid may be rotated 360. To rotate solenoid,
loosen bottom housing set screw. To lock rotation, tighten bottom housing
set screw. An internal ground connection is provided on the retaining
plate and an external ground connection is provided on the exterior of the
housing below the conduit opening.
Internal ground connector accepts 18 -22AWG or equivalent wire size
and must be crimped. Terminal Block may be removed from assembly to
facilitate wiring.
When installing Terminal Block, supply
wires must face center of valve assembly, not enclosure
wall. See detailed view in Figure 1 for correct positioning of
Terminal Block.
For North American wiring applications:
must use supply wires suitable for at least 90°C.
The solenoid must be grounded with
grounding wire or rigid metallic conduit - do not rely on pipe
as ground.
To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous
atmospheres, conduit runs must have a sealing tting
connected within 18 inches of the enclosure.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
•
charging hazard. Clean with a damp cloth before servicing to avoid
electrostatic discharge.
•

Positioning
This solenoid is designed to perform properly when mounted in
any position. However, for optimum life and performance, the
solenoid should be mounted vertically and upright to reduce the
possibility of foreign matter accumulating in the solenoid base
sub-assembly area.
Wiring
To reduce the risk of electrocution,
re, or property damage, wiring must comply with local
codes and the National Electrical Code.
Pour réduire les risques
d’électrocution, d’incendie ou de dommages matériels,
le câblage doit être conforme aux codes locaux et au
NEC.
All solenoids supplied with lead wires are provided with a
grounding wire which is green or green with yellow stripes and
a 1/2˝ conduit connection. To facilitate wiring, the solenoid may
be rotated 360°. For explosionproof solenoid version, the conduit
lead wires are factory sealed for use in hazardous locations. On
some solenoids, a grounding wire (green or green with yellow
stripes) is provided.
WARNING The solenoid must be grounded with
grounding wire (if included) or rigid metallic conduit -
do not rely on pipe as ground.
ADVERTISSEMENT La bobine doit être mise à la
terre avec un l de terre (le cas échéant) ou via un conduit
métallique rigide – n’utilisez pas la tuyauterie comme
masse.
CAUTION Cryogenic Applications - Solenoid lead
wire insulation should not be subjected to cryogenic
temperatures. Adequate lead wire protection and routing
must be provided.
ATTENTION Application cryogénique. Les câbles
électriques ne doivent pas être soumis à des températures
cryogéniques. Une protection adequate des cables
électriques doit être fournie.

Check nameplate for correct catalog number, service, and wattage.
Check front of solenoid for voltage and frequency. Never apply
incompatible uids or exceed pressure rating of the valve. Contact
ASCO or your supplier for more information about this valve or
other valve options if this valve is not suitable for your application.
Strainerorlterrequirement
To protect the solenoid valve, install a strainer or lter, suitable
for the service involved, in the inlet side as close to the valve as
possible. Clean periodically depending on service conditions.
WARNING Electrical hazard from the accessibility
of live parts. To prevent the possibility of death, serious
injury or property damage, install the open - frame
solenoid in an enclosure.

CAUTION To prevent re or explosion, do not
install solenoid and/or valve where ignition temperature of
hazardous atmosphere is less than 165 °C. On valves used
for steam service or when a class “H” solenoid is used, do not
install in hazardous atmosphere where ignition temperature
is less than 180 °C. See nameplate/retainer for service.
ATTENTION An d’éviter le risque de feu ou
d’explosion, ne pas installer la bobine ou l’électrovanne

ne pas installer en atmosphère explosible lorsque la
température d’inammation est inférieure à 180 °C.
Consulter les conditions d’utilisations sures indiquées
sur le produit ou dans la notice.
NOTE: These solenoids have an internal non-resetable thermal
fuse to limit solenoid temperature in the event that extraordinary
conditions occur which could cause excessive temperatures. These
conditions include high input voltage, a jammed core, excessive
ambient temperature or a shorted solenoid, etc. This unique feature
is a standard feature only in solenoids with black explosionproof/
dust-ignitionproof enclosures (Types 7 & 9).
CAUTION To protect the solenoid valve or
operator, install a strainer or lter, suitable for the
service involved in the inlet side as close to the valve
or operator as possible. Clean periodically depending
on service conditions. See ASCO Series 8600 and
8601 for strainers.
ATTENTION An de protéger l’électrovanne ou
l’actionneur, installer une crépine ou un ltre adapté
le plus proche possible en amont de l’électrovanne
ou de l’actionneur. Nettoyer périodiquement le ltre
en fonction des conditions d’utilisation. Se référer aux
séries 8600 et 8601 pour les crépines.
(For 12.0-Watt construction only): These
solenoids are provided with a special coil containing
solid state components that can be damaged by transient
voltages, over voltage, high temperatures or improper
valve assembly.
(Construction 12.0 watts uniquement):
ces électrovannes sont fournies avec une bobine spéciale
contenant des composants semi-conducteurs qui peuvent
être endommagés par des tensions transitoires, des
surtensions, des températures élevées ou un assemblage
inapproprié de la vanne.
1. When establishing the valve’s electrical connections, the
circuit that it is being connected to needs to have the proper
SPD (Surge Protective Device) installed. This is to limit
the eects of over voltages and impulse currents caused by
lightning and switching surges occurring on the power lines.
Failure to provide this conditioning on the aected circuits can
lead to either open circuiting or short circuiting of the solenoid
valve coil. Information on the proper sizing of SPDs and
installation requirements can be found in numerous industry
standards such as IEC 61643---12, IEEE STD. C62.23, IEEE
