ASCO solenoid valves with change letter P" in the middle
of the catalog number (ex. 8 10P001) are thermoplastic
encapsulated ASCO RedHat Next Generation Electronic
Solenoids. They are fully encapsulated using Dupontt
Zeniter Liquid Crystal Polymer Resin (LCP). Zeniter LCP
is a thermoplastic polyester resin which exhibits several
advantages over other thermoplastic encapsulants .*
* Chemical resistance of Zeniter LCP is not recommended
for all applications. Zeniter LCP is not suitable for long
term, repeated exposure to high concentrations of caustic
solutions. Consult factory for further information.
Follow these installation and maintenance instructions if
your valve or operator uses this solenoid.
The RedHat Next Generation electronic solenoid has an
integrated management circuit to provide:
SMomentary inrush current for high ratings.

Series 8003P, 8007P- Solenoid assemblies not supplied as
part of a valve. When the solenoid is energized, the core is
drawn into the solenoid base sub-assembly. IMPORTANT:
When the solenoid is de-ener ized, the initial return force
for the core, whether developed by sprin , pressure, or
wei ht, must exert a minimum force to overcome residual
ma netism created by the solenoid. Minimum return force
is 0.69lbf [3.06 N].
Series 8 0 P - When the solenoid is energized, the disc
holder assembly seats against the orifice. When the solenoid
is de-energized , the disc holder assembly returns.
IMPORTANT: Initial return force for the disc or disc holder
assembly, whether developed by sprin , pressure, or wei ht,
must exert a minimum force to overcome residual
ma netism created by the solenoid. Minimum return force
is 1.30 lbf [5.78 N].
INSTALLATION
Check nameplate for correct catalog number, service, and
wattage. Check side of solenoid for voltage and frequency.
WARNING: Electrical hazard from the
accessibility of live parts. To prevent the possibility
of death,Ăserious injury or property damage, install
the open - frame solenoid in an enclosure.
WARNING: Leakage current from solid state
controls can cause improper operation. Check for
current in the OFF-STATE from the switch with the
solenoid disconnected. Leakage current for solid
state outputs greater then 3 mA must use additional
external loads. Do not use supervisory circuits with
this solenoid.

ASCO SOLENOID AL ES WITH CHANGE
LETTER P" IN THE CATALOG NUMBER WITH
GRAY SOLENOID ENCLOSURE
To prevent fire or explosion,
do not install solenoid and/or valve where
ignition temperature of hazardous atmoĆ
sphere is less then 200_C. See nameplate for
service.
CAUTION:
NOTE: These solenoids have an internal thermal fuse, which
cannot be reset, 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.
CAUTION: To protect the solenoid valve or
operator, install a strainer or filter, 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, 8601, and 8602 for strainers.

Positionin
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.
Wirin Section
Wiring must comply with local codes and the National
Electrical Code. All conduit solenoids are provided with 4I
[0.61m] lead wires and a ground wire which is green or green
with a yellow stripe and a 1/ Iconduit connection. To
facilitate wiring, the solenoid may be rotated 360_. For the
gray watertight and explosionproof solenoid, electrical
fittings must be approved for use in the approved hazardous
locations. The external boss on the conduit connection
marked GND " is for supplementary bonding
connection where local codes or authorities permit or
require such connection.
CAUTION: Cryogenic Applications - Solenoid
lead wire insulation should not be subjected to
cryogenic temperatures. Adequate lead wire
protection and routing must be provided.
Installation of Solenoid
Solenoids may be assembled as a complete unit. Tightening
is accomplished by means of a hex flange at the base of the
solenoid.
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
WARNING: To prevent the possibility of
death, serious injury or property damage, turn off
electrical power, depressurize solenoid operator
and/or valve, and vent fluid to a safe area before
servicing.
Cleanin
All solenoid operators and valves should be cleaned
periodically. The 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.
Clean strainer or filter when cleaning the valve.

Preventive Maintenance
SKeep the medium flowing through the solenoid
operator or valve as free from dirt and foreign material
as possible.
SPeriodic exercise of the valve should be considered if
ambient or fluid conditions are such that corrosion,
elastomer degradation, fluid contamination build up or
other conditions that could impede solenoid valve
shifting are possible. In many cases, solenoid valves are
periodically exercised during normal system use or as
part of routine maintenance or surveillance activities
and no additional exercise is necessary. The actual
frequency of exercise necessary will depend on specific
operating conditions. A successful operating history is
the best indication of a proper interval between exercise
cycles.
SDepending 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.
Causes of Improper Operation
SFaulty Control Circuit: Check the electrical system by
energizing the solenoid. A metallic click signifies 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.
SBurned-Out Solenoid: Check for open-circuited
solenoid. Replace if necessary. Check supply voltage; it
must be the same as specified on nameplate/retainer and
marked on the solenoid. Check ambient temperature and
check that the core is not jammed.
SLow Volta e: Check voltage across the solenoid leads.
Voltage must be at least 85% of rated voltage.
Solenoid Replacement
1. Disconnect conduit, coil leads, and grounding wire or
cable/lead connector
NOTE: Any optional parts attached to the old solenoid must
be reinstalled on the new solenoid. For 3-way construction,
piping or tubing must be removed from pipe adapter.
. Remove retaining clip from top of solenoid base
sub-assembly by pushing down on both sides where the
clip is bent and raised by the solenoid base sub-assembly.
While pushing down, slide the clip out toward the
nameplate.
3. Remove solenoid from solenoid base sub-assembly.
4. Reassembly in reverse order of disassembly. Use
exploded views for identification and placement of parts.
Disassembly and Reassembly of Solenoids
1. Remove solenoid, see Solenoid Replacement.
. Unscrew solenoid base sub-assembly from valve body.
3. Remove internal solenoid parts for cleaning or
replacement. Use exploded views for identification and
placement of parts.
4. If the solenoid is part of a valve, refer to basic valve
installation and maintenance instructions for further
disassembly.
5. Torque solenoid base sub-assembly and adapter. See
valve Installation and Maintenance Instruction for
recommended torque. If solenoid is not part of a valve
assembly, recommended torque is 175± 5 in-lbs
[19,8± ,8 Nm].
