1. Introduction
The D1FB*EE series with explosion proof solenoids
is based on the standard D1FB series.The specific
solenoid design allows the usage in hazardous
environments. The explosion proof class is
Ex e mb IIC T4 Gb
for use in zone 1 and 2 (conform to ATEX).
Additionally the solenoids are IECEx compliant.
The parameters can be saved, changed and dupli-
cated in combination with the digital power amplifier
PWD00A-400 (to be used in an explosion proof
cabinet or outside of the hazardous area).
The valve parameters can be edited with the com-
mon ProPxD software.
The D1FB valves can be ordered with spool/sleeve
design (D1FB*0) for maximum precision as well
as spool/body design (D1FB*3) for high nominal
flow - see functional limit curves for maximum
flow capability.
Features
• Spool/sleeve and spool/body
• High repeatability from valve to valve
• Low hysteresis
• Manual override

tenance and repair work, it is the responsibility of
the operator to ensure that there is no risk of ex-
plosion.
Before starting such work, the operator has to
ensure that tools and equipment are only used if
they do not damage the valve and they do not
leave behind residues that are inflammable.
In addition, clean the valve before starting such work,
in particular removing dust, liquids and other depo-
sits. Cleaning should be done using a lint-free cloth.
Tools may not be used if they might cause a static
charge on use.
2. Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions thoroughly before
installation, commissioning, maintenance, repair and
storage, and observe them. Failure to observe the
operating instructions may result in damage to the
valve or the parts of the system connected to it.
In particular, in the case of explosive atmospheres,
any failure to observe the operating instructions
may result in an explosion.
The system operator must make these operating
instructions visible and easily accessible to opera-
ting and maintenance personnel.
Compliance with applicable standards/legal requi-
rements must be enforced. This particularly applies
to plant safety and environmental protection.
A list of such standards, etc. appears in the annex
by way of example.
Before starting commissioning, installation, main-
tenance and repair work, the hydraulic system must
be depressurised and power must be disconnected
from the electrical installation.
In addition, the electrical installation must be secured
so that power cannot be restored unexpectedly.
The valve may become hot during operation. To
avoid risk of burns, do not touch the valve surface.
The system operator must monitor the temperature
and cool the oil if necessary in order to the keep
within the maximum temperatures set out in these
operating instructions (see technical data). In this
connection, observe the relevant directions in the
operating instructions of the supplier (solenoid
system).
Any leaks occurring at the valve must be rectified
immediately.

varying temperature < 35 °C
Storage
If the valve needs to be temporarily stored, it must
be protected from dirt, the weather, and mechani-
cal damage. Each valve is tested with hydraulic oil
in the factory, so that the internal components are
protected from corrosion. However, this protection
can only be guaranteed under the following condi-
tions:
Storage outside or in maritime or tropical
climates leads to corrosion and may make
the valve unusable.

Installation
• Compare the valve type as stated on the Name
plate with the parts list/circuit diagram.
• The valve can be installed in any position, ei-
ther fixed or movable.
Check the fixing surface and the cavity for
the valve. Permitted values: unevenness
0.01 mm/100 mm, roughness Rmax = 6.3
μm. Keep the valve mounting surface and
the area clean.
• Before installation, remove the protective cov-
er from the valve ports.
• Check that the valve ports and the O-rings are
in the correct position.
• Use fastening screws as indicated in the cata-
logue, property class 12.9 to ISO 4762.
Parker can supply the correct screw sets,
see the catalogue for order numbers.
• Tighten the screws diagonally, torque as speci-
fied in the catalogue.
• Any deficiencies of the valve mounting surface
may result in operating disruptions. Faulty fix-
ing and incorrect screw tightening torques may
lead to the sudden escape of hydraulic fluid at
the ports.
The valve must be connected to the equipotential
bonding system of the hydraulic system.
4. Installation
Scope of delivery
As soon as you receive the valve you should check
if the package has the specified contents. In par-
ticular, check whether the type of protection indi-
cated on the valve is as described in these operat-
ing instructions.

6. Maintenance
Maintenance procedures may only be car-
ried out by specialist personnel. A detailed
knowledge is required of how the machine
is switched on and off and also of the neces-
sary safety measures.
Regular maintenance is essential in prolonging the
service life of the systems, and safeguards plant
safety and operational availability. The following
items must be checked at regular and short intervals:
• Oil level in tank
• Max. medium temperature
• Max. surface temperature
• Condition of the pressure fluid (sight check,
colour and smell of hydraulic fluid)
• Operating pressures
• Preload pressure of pressure vessel (if present)
• No leaks at any system components
• Condition of the filter elements
• Condition of the hose lines
• Cleanliness of components
After a certain period of service, the hydraulic fluid
must be replaced. The frequency of the change
depends on the following circumstances:
• Type and grade of pressure fluid (ageing)
• Filtration
• Operating temperature and ambient conditions
Replacement of a coil
In case of a necessary replacement of a coil the
disassembly and assembly instructions on dra-
wing 35015707 (see next page) have to be ob-
served. Before exchanging a coil the name plates
of old and new coil have to be checked. It must
be ensured that only coils with identical voltages
are used.
Available coil kits are:
AK-D1FBCJEE318
AK-D1FBCKEE318
AK-D1FBCJEE318-XG371
AK-D1FBCKEE318-XG371
The coils of series 18 are suitable for valves of
series 17 and 18.
5. Operating instructions
Electronic control system
The valve must be operated by a suitable electronic
control system.
The appropriate electronic control system
can be selected from the catalogue ("Elec-
tronics" section). Please ask the factory. if
further guidance is required. Connecting to
an unsuitable electronic control system may
result in irreparable damage to the valve or
the electronic control system.
If you are using the Parker PCD00A-400
digital module, make sure that the module
runs outside the Ex area or inside an electri-
cal cabinet certified for use in the Ex zone.
Air bleeding of hydraulic system
During initial startup, after an oil change as well as
after the opening of lines or valves the hydraulic
system must be air bleeded.
Filter
The function and lifetime of the valve are strongly
affected by the cleanliness of the fluid.
Purity level class of 18/16/13 acc. ISO4406 is
required.
Pay attention to maintenance details!
Flushing
It is recommended to flush the pipelines by short
circuiting the pressure and return lines.This prevents
the installation dirt from entering the valve.
