Proportional DC Valve
Series DFT
Installation Manual
Function Description
The integrated valve electronics include the following
functions:
Differential command input for voltage or current
signals
Adjustable ramp generator
Flow offset adjustment (MIN) and deadband
compensation
Maximum adjustment (MAX) to maintain full
use of the command signal range over the
actual flow spectrum set with this adjustment
Pulse width modulated current signals for both
valve solenoids
Standard central connection socket
There is a linear relationship between the solenoid
current and the input signal. The solenoid current is
stabilised against voltage fluctuations as well as
temperature dependent resistance variations of the
solenoid coils. Because of the effect of load on the
position of the valve spool, the spool position can
vary and there is a limited relationship between the
input signal and the valve flow.

MIN-/MAX Setup
Set-up procedure:
1) Feed in a command signal of +200mV (resp. +
0.4mA) at the input D.
2) Adjust offset for corresponding valve side by
potentiometer "MIN B".
3) Feed in a command signal + 10V (resp. +
20mA) at the input D.
4) Adjust the required spool stroke (required flow)
for corresponding valve side by potentiometer
"MAX B".
5) Repeat this procedure for opposite valve side.
Feed in negative command signals and adjust
by using potentiometers "MIN A" and "MAX A".
6) Take into account that MIN has to be adjusted
before MAX.
7) See function diagram.

Installation Manual
( 2.5 Amp.)
( 5.0 Amp.)
(10.0 Amp.)
Relais and solenoids operating from the same supply circuit as the valve electronics has to be fitted by
surge protection elements.
Wiring Cable
The wiring cable between the control cabinet and the valve has to be shielded. The central wiring has to
be installed from a 7 wire cable that utilizes a common shielding and a cross section of min. AWG17. For
the connection of the option "Solenoid disable / Supervisory output" a similar cable has to be used. The
capacity should not exceed a value of approx. 130 pF/m (wire/wire). The maximum cable length is 50 m.
No power current lines may be placed in parallel to the valve's wiring cables. The cable shield has to be
connected to earth ground at both ends (see also chapter "Grounding"). Please be aware of g round loops.
Connectors
The central connection of the valve electronics needs a connector 6pin+E according DIN 43563 featuring
metal case and integrated cable shield coupling. Use a similar connector 5pin for the connection of the
optional "Solenoid disable / Supervisory output" function. Parker can provide suitable connectors:
5004072
5004091
(Connector 6pin+E)
(Connector 5pin)
The connectors has to be installed according the connection diagram, the cable shield has to be tied on
the whole periphery to the provided coupling clamp.
Grounding
The mounting plate of the valve has to be connected to the grounded metal machine frame. The earth wire
to pin G of the central wire cable as well as the cable shields of the valve connection cables should be
tied to earth ground at the control cabinet. A low-ohmic potential compensation wire has to be provided
between the control cabinet and the machine frame (cable wire AWG7 cross section) to prevent ground
loops.
