1 Product description
The XA+ series valve control monitor has an integral solenoid coil that can be used with various
solenoid configurations such a 3/2 and 5/2 way valves.
The XA+ also provides two methods of end of travel indication by the means of mechanical
switches, inductive proximity sensors or proximity switches and an external visual indicator.
For applications that require position feed back, ancillary components such as a 4-20 mA current
signal transmitter or a resistive signal feed back can be installed.
To allow this product to be used with network communication bus protocols, the XA+ series
enclosure can house various network modules.
The XA+ series enclosure comprises of a two parts, a cover and housing. The housing can offer up
to four of the following conduit entries; M20 x 1.5p, M25 x 1.5p, 1/2”-14 NPT or 3/4”-14 NPT cable
entries for connection to an external power source via appropriate ATEX certified cable glands. The
XA+ certification is compliant against the following standards:

2.1 The XA+ housing is assembled with the Pentair ModMount adapter (standard). To
re-orientate the ModMount, if required, loosen and remove the four M8 socket head cap
screws, position the bracket and replace the screws.
2.2 To ensure that the XA+ series drive coupler is orientated correctly, it may be necessary to
stroke the actuator to the fully closed position.
Warning
Before stroking the actuator to the fully closed position, please ensure that the process is
safe to do so.
2.3 With the actuator in the correct position, attach the XA+ series bracket to the actuator using
the hardware provided in the mounting kit.
2.4 To release the cover, loosen the cover retaining screws. Twist the cover approx 45° and lift
up. See Fig 1.
2.5 To set the switches, stroke the actuator to its close position, lift the bottom cam and turn
until the switch has activated and then release. The spring will push the cam back onto the
splined shaft.
Warning
Before stroking the actuator, please ensure that the process is safe to do so and that all
hands are kept away from the moving shaft.
2.6 Stroke the actuator to the open position. Set the top cam by pushing down and turning the
cam until the switch is activated.
Warning
Before stroking the actuator, please ensure that the process is safe to do so and that all
hands are kept away from the moving shaft.
2.7 Stroke the actuator from one end of stroke to the other several times to check the switch
operation. If the switches require adjustment, repeat steps 2.5 to 2.7.

5 Operating and maintenance instructions for Falcon II solenoid valve
5.1 General description
5.1.1 The Falcon II solenoid valve incorporates elastomer static seals through which a shaped
spool moves and are manufactured for 3 or 5 way operation. 3 way is normally used for
pilot control of the other relay valves or for the operation of single acting cylinders. 5 way is
normally used to control the action of double acting cylinders. 3 way operation is realised by
blocking output 4 with a plug.
The seal spacer assembly forms individual annular chambers opposite each valve port and
the grooved spool either closes or allows flow between adjacent chambers, hence the
position of the spool determines which ports are open or closed.
The spool is moved by way of a manually or mechanically operated mechanism normally
against a return spring. Operation may be by application or removal of a pilot air supply
acting as a pilot piston. This form of control is utilized for electrical actuation where integral
solenoid valves control the pilot air supply.

5.1.2 Optional features - Falcon II
5.1.2.1 Momentary Override
Spring return momentary push type, must hold in to actuate. See Fig. 5A
5.1.2.2 Manual Locking Override
Manually depress palm button and rotate clockwise for maintained condition, must manually
disengage to return to original position. See Fig. 5B
5.1.2.3 No-Voltage Release (Latching)
With the coil first energized, the palm button is then manually moved and latched.
The inward movement of the palm button causes the valve to shift.
When the coil is de-energized, the palm button and latching mechanism are automatically
tripped, allowing the valve to return to its original position. See Fig. 5C
5.1.2.4 Hex Drive Maintained Override
Insert Allen key in hex head screw and rotate clockwise (4-5 turns) to shift spool. Valve
will stay put until hex head screw is rotated counter clockwise (4-5 turns) back to original
position. See Fig. 5D
5.1.3 Specifications
Operating pressure: 45 - 120 psig / 3.1 - 8.2 bar
Operating media: Non lubricated filtered air to 20 microns
5.1.4 Field wiring
Complete the electrical wiring in accordance with national and local electrical requirements.
The ground wire should be secure under the green screw. Check all screws for tightness.

5.1.5 (Air line) Installation considerations
Air mains and lines should be large enough to avoid excessive pressure loss under
conditions of maximum flow. Air lines should be installed with as few restrictions as possible
if the cost of compressed air is to be kept to a minimum. Sharp turns in piping should be
avoided for more efficient air flow and economical air power. It is advisable to pitch the
mains in the direction of air flow so that both gravity and air flow will carry the water to traps
or water legs located at frequent intervals.
To help in preventing condensed moisture from reaching the point of usage, down pipes
should never be taken directly from the bottom of air pipes or mains. Connection should be
made at the top of the main and a long radius return bend used.

Installation & Operating Instructions
5.1.6 Air flow
Pipe sizes are normally determined on semi empirical lines, basis for selection being an
acceptable pressure drop e.g. not more than 10% of the applied pressure. In sizing pipes,
consideration should be given to likely future demands, as a system will be inefficient if the
demand outgrows the supply. It is always better to over size mains as this will reduce air
velocity and make water separation more effective.
5.1.7 Air service equipment
The importance of proper filtration (20 micron) and lubrication of the air supply to pneumatic
equipment can never be over-emphasized as a means of decreasing friction and preventing
corrosion and wear due to moisture and abrasive solids being present in the air supply.
At higher pressures than recommended, pneumatic equipment can wear excessively with no
significant increase in output and compressed air is consequently wasted.
There is much to be gained, therefore, from providing pneumatic equipment with serviced
air by including suitable air line filters, pressure regulators and lubricants in the installation.
5.1.8 Tubes and fittings
The use of copper, stainless steel, nylon or polyethylene tube is recommended for piping up
air circuits and equipment. As a general rule, pipe threaded fittings should not be assembled
to a specific torque because the torque required for a reliable joint varies with thread
quality, port and fitting materials, sealant used, and other factors. The suggested method
of assembling pipe threaded connections is to assemble them finger tight and then wrench
tighten further to a specified number of turns from finger tight.
The assembly procedure given below is for reference only, the fitting should not be over
tightened for this will lead to distortion and most likely, complete valve failure.
1. Inspect port and connectors to ensure that the threads on both are free of dirt, burrs and
excessive nicks.
2. Apply sealant/lubricant or Teflon tape to the male pipe threads. With any sealant tape, the
first one or two threads should be left uncovered to avoid system contamination.
3. Screw the connector into the port to the finger tight position.
4. Wrench tighten the connector approximately 1 - 2 turns (to seal) from finger tight. again
this is only reference – the fitting should NOT be over tightened.
