Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions
Operation
The Automax APS1 with the Automax A25N solenoid valve
purges the spring chamber with exhaust air. This prevents
corrosive atmospheres from being pulled into the
spring chamber.
The APS1 consists of a single compact block with no
moving parts, sandwich mounted between the SuperNova
actuator and the Automax solenoid valve. There are no
tubing or fittings required.
Maintenance Instructions
Trouble Shooting the APS1
Actuator will not cycle.
1. Check for proper orientation of APS1 and
solenoid valve.
2. Check for plugged exhaust port.
3. Check for correct supply pressure.
Air leaks through breather exhaust when actuator
is held open.
1. Check for actuator leakage.
2. Check for solenoid valve leakage.
Installation Instructions
The Automax APS1 may be installed very easily to the
SuperNova series spring return actuators utilizing any
Automax A25N series NAMUR solenoid valve.
1. Place each O-ring provided into the O-ring bore on the
rear of the module (the side with two large ports). Each
O-ring should be completely seated in the bore.
2. Place the actuator with the two ports facing you, and the
stem pointing up. Orient the APS1 module with the
O-rings toward the actuator, and the central thru-port
hole to the right.
3. Place the Automax solenoid valve with the (3) O-rings
toward the APS1 and the operator toward the right.
4. The APS1 is then "sandwich" mounted between the
solenoid valve and the SuperNova actuator with the two
screws provided.
5. Install the pipe plug into port #3 of the solenoid valve
and the bronze breather vent into port #5.
6. Connect the air supply to port #1 and the assembly is
ready for operation.
