This is a 4-way, 3-position, spool type, non-compensated proportional directional valve. In its de-energized condition, port 3 is blocked, while ports 2 and 4 are open to port 1. Increasing the current to the bottom coil will cause the spool to move, proportionally opening flow from port 3 to 2 with return flow passing from port 4 to 1. Increasing the current to the top coil will proportionally open flow from port 3 to 4 with return flow passing from port 2 to 1. Using this as a variable orifice in conjunction with a compensator, the valve will provide compensated flow to an actuator in both directions. Port 1 should be used as the tank port with a maximum back pressure of 150 bar. For applications with unequal flows, the highest flow should be connected to Port 2. For optimal performance, install with the solenoid valve below the tank oil level in the horizontal or inverted position, reducing the chance for trapped air in the valve.
