MOUNTING BASES CH. IX PAGE 6 relay mounting standard. The output stage operates on the pulse width modulation principle
(P.W.M.) and is provided with current feedback in order to obtain a solenoid output current
proportional to the reference input signal. Output short circuit and supply polarity inversion
protection is provided.
Gain, minimum current and rise and fall ramp time adjustments are possible through the
corresponding front panel trimming potentiometers, while the output current to the solenoid
ORDERING CODE can be measured via the Valve Current test points, and the ramp operation can be excluded.

REM.S.RA... TYPE ELECTRONIC REGULATORS
SINGLE SOLENOID PROPORTIONAL CONTROL VALVES
Calibration procedure
Connect the card in the proper way following the previous page diagram but without powering it. Turn completely anticlockwise the 4 trimming
potentiometers and position the reference potentiometer on zero. Before powering the card, ensure that any unforseen hydraulic system
movement cannot cause material damage or injury to people. Power now the card; the green LED should light up.
Minimum current or polarization current adjustment
Turn slowly the minimum current trimming potentiometer clockwise (Imin) until an actuator movement can be visually detected. Turn slowly
anticlockwise the potentiometer: the minimum current setting will be adjusted correctly when the actuator movement stops. For the REM model
with minimum initial threshold current, turn the reference potentiometer up to a Vref. of 50 mV.
Maximum current GAIN adjustment
Turn first the ramp time trimming potentiometers clockwise by at least 10 turns, if the system could be damaged by a too fast solenoid operation
(evaluate the application carefully). The maximum actuator speed can now be adjusted. Turn the (reference signal) potentiometer to its maximum
setting and rotate slowly the GAIN trimming potentiometer (GAIN) until the maximum required speed is obtained. The speed can now be varied
by moving the potentiometer. The GAIN setting could change the Imin current setting. For this reason it’s better to recheck the Imin after GAIN setting
Ramp time adjustment
The ramp time is the time taken to pass from the minimum to the maximum current value, and vice versa. It’s adjustable from a minimum of 0s
up to a maximum of 10s (to reach the maximum current value setted). Turning clockwise the trimming potentiometer, the ramp time increases.
Notes:
- The ramp fall time affects the actuator stop position. Moving the reference potentiometer to zero Volt, the actuator goes on moving till the setted
ramp time is elapsed. Therefore it’s necessary to adjust it properly.
- When the overload red LED lights up, it will be necessary to switch off the power to the card, switching it on again after having eliminated the
cause of overload.
DIP switch table
Six miniature switches are mounted internally on one of the REM sides. The REM configuration to suit any particular application can be
implemented by setting these switches, which can be reached through the unit ventilating slots.
PWM frequency (100 to 330 Hz), minimum (continuous or step) current, reference voltage range and maximum current (Imax) can thus be adjusted.
For our proportional valves are recommended the following settings:
C XD.3.A DITHER =100Hz Imax. = 2.35A with 9V coil
C XQ.3 DITHER =100Hz Imax. = 2.35A with 9V coil
