5/2-way solenoid impulse valve
The solenoid valve is controlled by applying a voltage signal at the solenoid coil (flow passes from 1 to 4) and remains in this operating position even when the signal is cut off. Only by applying an opposite signal will the valve return to its starting position (flow passes freely from 1 to 2). If no signal is applied to the valve, it can be manually operated.
This valve is derived from a configurable 5/n way valve. You find this valve in the component library Frequently used Way Valves
, under the menu.
