to meet Enclosure Type 1 - General Purpose, Types 3 and 3S -
Raintight, Types 4 and 4X - Watertight. Catalog No. EF8004A1

OPERATION
When the solenoid is energized, the core assembly is drawn into the
plugnut/core tube sub-assembly. When the solenoid is de-energized,
spring force returns the core assembly to the original position.
Enclosure Types 7 and 9 Only (EF8004A1)*
To prevent re or explosion, do not
install solenoid and/or valve where ignition temperature of
hazardous atmosphere is less than 160 °C. Open circuit before
disassembling. Do not exceed temperature limitations in chart
below. (See asterisk [*] in DESCRIPTION section).
Afin d’éviter le risque de feu
ou d’explosion, ne pas installer la bobine ou l’électrovanne ou
la température d’inflammation en atmosphère explosible est
inferieure à 160 °C. Ouvrez le circuit avant le désassemblage. Ne
pas dépasser les limites de température mentionnées dans le
tableau ci-dessous. (Voir l’astérisque [*] dans la section descriptive).
Temperature Limitations
For maximum ambient/fluid temperatures, refer to chart.
See valve installation and maintenance instructions for valve
temperature limitations.

Positioning
Solenoid may be mounted in any position
Valve Mounting
This solenoid is assembled to a valve that must be rigidly supported
using the valve body mounting provisions.
WARNING
ADVERTISSEMENT
NOTICE: See separate valve installation and maintenance
instructions for information on: Operation, Positioning, Mounting,
Cleaning, Preventive Maintenance, Cause of Improper Operation,
Disassembly and Reassembly of basic valve.
Wiring
To reduce the risk of electrocution, re, or
property damage, wiring must comply with local codes and
the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Pour réduire les risques
d’électrocution, d’incendie ou de dommages matériels, le
câblage doit être conforme aux codes locaux et au NEC.
To facilitate wiring, the solenoid may be rotated 360° in 90°
increments. To rotate solenoid, remove retaining cap (if present)
and four mounting screws, reposition solenoid and replace screws
and retaining cap (if present). Torque screws evenly in a crisscross
manner to 12 in -lbs [1,3 Nm]. Torque retaining cap to 10-12 in - lbs
[1,1-1,3 Nm] using a 21/32” socket.
The solenoid must be grounded with
included grounding wire - do not rely on process pipes for
grounding.
La bobine doit être mise
à la terre avec le l de terre inclus - ne vous ez pas aux
canalisations pour la mise à la terre.
Solenoids have a ½ - 14 NPT male thread. For connection to rigid
metal conduit, metal type NPT electrical fittings should be used or
use ASCO Part Number 264568-001, supplied.
For the explosionproof solenoid (EF8004A1), the female ½ - 14
NPT conduit connector comes preassembled and makes up the full
hazardous location solenoid assembly. Any additional required
electrical fittings must be approved for use in hazardous locations.
Solenoid Temperature
Standard solenoids are designed for continuous duty service. When
the solenoid is energized for a long period, the solenoid becomes
hot and can be touched by hand only for an instant. This is a safe
operating temperature.
MAINTENANCE
To prevent the possibility of death,
serious injury or property damage, turn o󰀨 electrical power,
depressurize solenoid valve and vent uid to a safe area
before servicing,
Afin d’éviter tout risque de mort,
blessure ou dommage, couper l’alimentation électrique,
dépressuriser la vanne ou l’électrovanne et vidanger le fluide en
zone non dangereuse avant toute maintenance.
Potential Electrostatic Charging Hazard.
Use wet or damp cloth when cleaning coil, non-metallic pilot
or valve body (if applicable).
Risque de charges électrostatiques
en atmosphères explosibles. Utiliser un chi󰀨on humide
ou mouillé lors du nettoyage de la bobine, Corps de pilote
ou de vanne non métallique (si applicable).
Cleaning (also, see above)
All solenoid operators and valves should be cleaned periodically.
Time between cleaning will vary depending on medium and service
conditions. In general, if the voltage to the solenoid is correct,
sluggish valve operation, excessive noise or leakage will indicate
that cleaning is required. In the extreme case faulty valve or
solenoid operation will occur and the valve or solenoid may fail to
shift. Clean strainer or filter when cleaning the valve.

Causes of Improper Operation
• Faulty Control Circuit: Check the electrical system by
energizing the solenoid. A metallic click signifi es that the
solenoid is operating. Absence of the click indicates loss of
power supply. Check for loose or blown fuses, open -circuited
or grounded solenoid, broken lead wires or splice connections.
• Burned-Out Solenoid: Check for open-circuited solenoid.
Check supply voltage; it must be the same as specifi ed on
nameplate and marked on the solenoid. Check ambient
temperature and check that the core is not jammed. If necessary,
replace pilot valve.
• Low Voltage: Check voltage across the solenoid leads.
Voltage must be at least 85% of rated voltage.

Preventive Maintenance
• Keep the medium flowing through the solenoid valve as free
from dirt and foreign material as possible.
• While in service, the solenoid valve should be operated at least
once a month to ensure proper opening and closing.
• Depending on the medium and service conditions, periodic
inspection of internal valve parts for damage or excessive wear
is recommended. Thoroughly clean all parts. Replace any worn
or damaged parts.
