5. Galuega
The V-9012-1 Solenoid Relay operates based on the applied electrical input voltage, controlling the pneumatic output to the actuator.
- +12 VDC Input: When a positive 12 VDC is applied to the input terminals, the relay will enter a 'PRESS' state, allowing supply pressure to flow to the actuator.
- 0 VDC Input: When 0 VDC (no voltage) is applied, the relay will enter a 'HOLD' state, maintaining the current pneumatic output.
- -12 VDC Input: When a negative 12 VDC is applied, the relay will enter an 'EXHAUST' state, releasing pressure from the actuator.
Ensure that the control system provides the correct voltage signals for the desired pneumatic response.
