●Repair work and maintenance, piping removal and installation,
other parts replacement, and any other kind of work operation
relating to the product, should be performed by a person or
persons with adequate knowledge and experience with the
product, media, fluid control systems, etc. Moreover, always
completely shut off the supply of media, and observe the
precautions listed below when performing these operations.
1. For gases, check that the pressure in the product and in the
piping connected to the product is down to zero prior to work
operations. In particular, be aware of the possibility of residual
air in the air compressor and air storage tank. Residual
pressure in the piping could cause the actuator to suddenly
move, resulting in injury.
2. For liquids, drain all liquids from the product and piping. With
corrosive fluids, in particular, there is a possibility of chemical
burns or contamination of surrounding areas.
3. For high-temperature media, in addition to the above
precautions, also check that the valve temperature has
dropped sufficiently. Accidentally touching the hot surface
could result in burn injuries.
●When it is necessary to keep the heat of the proportional control
valve using an antifreezing heater or thermal insulation material,
provide thermal insulation for pipes and the valve body only, and
do not attempt to insulate the solenoid area. That could lead to
coil burnout resulting in electric shocks, fire, or erratic operation.
●Use of the product under the conditions described below is
subject to regulation under the Japanese High Pressure Gas
Control Law. Be aware that violation of this law can result in
penalties to individuals or corporations:
Pressurized gases used at room temperature with gauge pres-
sures of 1MPa [145psi.] or more, or pressurized gases capable of
reaching pressures of 1MPa [145psi.] or more converted at a
temperature of 35°C [95°F]. (Acetylene gas and liquefied gas are
subject to even stricter standards.)
For details, see the Japanese High Pressure Gas Control Law.
●When the proportional control valve is mounted inside a control
panel or is continuously energized for long periods, take heat
radiation measures to ensure that the ambient temperature of the
proportional control valve always remains within the specified
temperature range. In particular, caution should be exercised
regarding the continuous energizing of a fully opened proportional
control valve, because that could result in operational failure of
the temperature compensation circuit used to stabilize the
electrical current value against increased resistance when the
solenoid temperature rises.
●When energized for long periods, the coil will become quite hot.
Accidentally touching it could result in burn injuries.
●After finishing wiring operations, always check to ensure no wiring
connection error before turning on the power.
●Design equipment systems so as to avoid equipment damage or
personal injury, even in the event of operational failure of fluid
control equipment due to an emergency stop, power outages, or
other system abnormalities, such as an unintentional return to
non-energized status.

Handling Instructions and Precautions
General precautions
Mounting and piping
11. Mounting and piping should be performed by a person or
persons with adequate knowledge and experience by using
appropriate tools.
12. While any mounting direction is acceptable, the best direc-
tion is one that ensures the main body not being directly
subjected to shocks or vibrations. Moreover, mounting so
that the solenoid portion faces upward is recommended to
prevent accumulation of foreign material, etc.
13. When connecting tubes to the Proportional Control Valve,
flush the tubes completely (by blowing compressed air)
before piping to prevent metal chips, sealing tape, rust, etc.,
generated during plumbing from entering inside the piping.
14. Mount a filter or a strainer near the proportional control
valve to remove solid particles from the media. Accumula-
tion of solid particles inside the proportional control valve
could result in defective operation or damage to the propor-
tional control valve. Use a filter or a strainer of about 80 to
120 mesh.
15. Take caution that the filter and strainer do not become
clogged. When the pressure drop reaches 0.1MPa
[14.5psi.], clean the strainer.
16. Check the direction of the fluid flow.
17. Use sealing tape to seal the piping connections.
When using sealing tape, wrap it so that 1.5 to 2 threads
remain (see below).
Atmosphere
Avoid using the proportional control valve in the locations and
environments listed below, as it could result in malfunction of
the product. If use in such conditions is unavoidable, always
provide a cover or other adequate protective measures.
●Location directly exposed to dripping water or oil
●Environment where the valve body is subjected to dew
condensation
●Location directly exposed to metal chips, dust, etc.
Storage
For long-term storage after using water as a medium, be sure to
completely remove any water remaining inside. Residual water
could result in rust, defective operation, and deterioration of
seal materials.

When screwing in piping or fittings, be careful to prevent
thread shavings or sealant materials from entering inside
the proportional control valve.
18. When tightening piping, be sure to hold the metallic parts of
the main valve body. Do not apply any force to the solenoid
plastic mold portion. Applying force there could cause dam-
age to the solenoid.
19. When engaged in piping work, do not apply external force to
the proportional control valve. Application of external force
could cause damage to the proportional control valve.
10. When screwing piping or fittings into the proportional control
valve, tighten to the appropriate tightening torque, as listed
below.
11. Do not loosen or tighten the thread with the adhesive mater-
ial used on the top of the proportional control valve. Such
action could prevent normal operation of the proportional
control valve.
12. When mounting the proportional control valve inside a con-
trol panel or when energizing it for long periods, consider
providing heat radiation measures such as ventilation.

y
Solenoid
1. The solenoid can be moved freely to any orientation.
Limit the tightening torque for the hexagon nut securing the
solenoid in place to within the amount shown below.
2. While any mounting direction is acceptable, mounting so that
the solenoid portion faces upward is recommended to pre-
vent accumulation of foreign material, etc.
1. If planning to use any media other than the specified media, carefully consider the
compatibility of that media with the valve body and seal materials, and be prepared to take
responsibility for such use.
●Rising temperatures, increasing fluid densities, use of ultra-pure fluids, etc., risk hastening
the rate of corrosion.
●For such use, always run sample tests beforehand to check compatibility with the media
under actual application conditions.
2. The control characteristics will vary depending on the application and setting conditions. To
use the valve, test the on-site control systems under actual application conditions, and fully
perform checks for responsiveness, stability, effectiveness, and other characteristics.
Wiring instructions
1. Electrical connection: When using a DIN connector (KFPZ-
39), insert a gasket and connect it to the solenoid’s flat
contacts. (Limit the cable length to 50m [164ft.] or less.)
●Avoid installing wiring parallel to high voltage lines or
power lines, or within the same conduit. In addition, install
wiring in locations as far removed from motors as possible.
Installing in such locations can cause erratic operation. If
installation near inductive loads or power lines is unavoid-
able, always take load surge suppression measures, and
use magnetic shields. Use particular caution in environ-
ments that are subject to excessive external electrical
noise, because of the high risk of erratic operation.
2. The tightening torque for the DIN connector mounting thread
should be 0.3N·m [2.7in·lbf].

How to use the graph
When there is no diagram for the valve flow rate
coefficient (Cv) in the above graph:
Multiply the Cv of the valve being used by the flow
rate at Cv = 1 read out from the graph to calculate the
flow rate.
Example: At Cv = 1, value read out from the graph:
Q＝20R/min [0.706ft.
3/min.] for the desired
pressure difference
When the flow rate coefficient for the valve
being used is Cv = 0.3
The flow rate is found by using the below

●Hysteresis
A characteristic of equipment
with different output values due
to the directional applied input
values.
Input
Output
Voice and other modulation signals
Sampled modulation signals
Pulse width modulation
●PID control P action: Proportional action
I action: Integral action
D action: Derivative action
This control consists of three control actions, including
proportional action (P action); a control action in which the
output of a control device is proportional to the input, integral
action (I action) when output is proportional to the integration of
input, and derivative action (D action) when output is
proportional to the derivation of input.
●Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
When the frequency band is F [Hz], a signal is completely deter-
mined by the value of signal samples at 1/2F [S] (Sampling
Theorem). Based on this theorem, all information from sampled
modulation signals (such as voice, etc.) can be expressed in
pulse rows, a technique known as pulse modulation. A number
of methods are available. In pulse width modulation, one of
these methods, a pulse width with a fixed amplitude, is used to
change the amplitude information of samples in the sampled
modulation signal.

●Consumption power
For direct current, this is the multiplied value of the product’s
DC voltage and effective current value, and the unit used is W.
●Cv
A coefficient of flow rate, this is used to express a water flow
rate in US gal/min when flowing through the valve at a pressure
differential of 1lbf./in2(1psi.) at a temperature of 60°F (15.5°C).
●Kinematic viscosity
The viscosity of a fluid divided by the density of a fluid
with identical conditions (temperature, pressure), as expressed
in the formula . Represents the magnitude of resis-
tance when a liquid flows due to the action of its own mass.
The most commonly used unit of kinematic viscosity is the cSt
(centi-Stokes), which in SI units is m2/s (square meter per sec-
ond). Another unit used is St (Stokes). For example, m2/s
(square meter per second) expresses the kinematic viscosity of
a fluid for which the density is 1kg/m3and the viscosity is
NS/m2(Newton-seconds per square meter).
A conversion table for each of these units is shown below.
●Maximum operating pressure
The maximum pressure to which the proportional control valve
can be pressurized during operation.
●Operating pressure differential
The difference between the inlet pressure and the outlet pres-
sure, by which the proportional control valve can operate.
●Operating pressure differential range
The range between the upper limit of the operating pressure dif-
ferential (maximum operating pressure differential) and the
lower limit (minimum operating pressure differential).
●Orifice diameter
The narrowest part of the flow path inside the valve, with a rela-
tively short length when compared to the cross-section
dimensions. In other words, the cross-section area at the con-
stricted location is converted into a circular cross-section area
and then expressed as a diameter.

●RAMP response
Time response when shifting input from a no-change state to a
state in which change occurs at a fixed speed.
●RAMP response time
In RAMP response, the time required for a value obtained by
subtracting a first-order steady-state deviation of the output
from the input multiplied by the static gain, falls within a speci-
fied tolerance range (for example, 5%).
●Range-ability
A ratio between the maximum and minimum flow rate
coefficients Cv in a controllable operation. For example, if the
range-ability is 10 : 1, a valve with a maximum flow rate
coefficient Cv of 10.0 has a minimum flow rate coefficient Cv of
1.0.
●Temperature compensation
This is a characteristic of electronic parts. In general, changes
in temperature or generation of heat can cause changes in the
set electrical current and voltage levels, in a phenomenon
known as temperature drift. An operation to compensate for this
temperature drift is called temperature compensation.
●Viscosity
Index expressing the degree of internal friction accompanying a
fluid flow. Also known as absolute viscosity to distinguish it from
kinematic viscosity.
