The amplifier is ready for use as supplied, but it must be properly installed by a qualified person using the machine designer's wiring diagram1. Safety notes 1. The amplifiers described in these installation and start-up guidelines are designed exclusively for electrical control of the corresponding Eaton proportional valves specified. 2. Start-up, maintenance and repair operations may only be performed by qualified personnel with knowledge of electrics/electronics. 3. The 24V DC supply voltage must meet the guidelines for safe low voltages according to VDE 0551/EN 607242/IEC 742. 1. Check for...

Type A Amplifer for proportaional control valves General description The power amplifier has five voltage inputs (one inverting) and a current input 0-20 mA. Adjustments for set zero point or deadband compensation and for gain allow the amplifier to be easily tuned to the proportional control valve. The ramp function generator can be switched on and off using the “ramp enable” control. User-friendly front panel with all the necessary adjustments, LEDs and monitor points Electronic overload protection with automatic reset Pulse width modulation for high efficiency Can be equipped with plug-in...

General description The EEA-PAM-5**-B-33 Eurocards are power amplifiers with a four-input (demand signal) module and ramp function generator with quadrant detection for separate adjustment of acceleration and deceleration. The type of EEA-PAM-5**-B-33 amplifier used depends on the type of proportional valve, see "Model Codes". Includes all features of "A" amplifiers 2 ramp times set by front-panel potentiometers; can be varied by external voltage signals 4 adjustable command pre-sets selectable by 24V logic signal Polarity of 10V reference voltage selectable by 24V logic signal CE electromagnetic...
