Depending on the need and configuration of the valve, the possible
air connection combinations are as follows:
1. Use a regulator with a filter to maintain a constant air supply pressure
(optimum supply pressure of 6 bar to operate the actuator)
2. Completely purge the circuit of air to avoid any foreign bodies.
3. On applications with simple effect actuator (spring return) outlet seal OUT1 or
OUT2 as applicable.
6.5 Electrical connection (transmission signal).
Connect the (+) and (-) supply terminals to the respective (+) and (-) input terminals of the
