ELECTRO-PROPORTIONAL VALVES—PRESSURE CONTROLS

EHPR08-33 Proportional Reducing/Relieving Valve

DESCRIPTION
A screw-in, cartridge-style, direct acting, spool-type reducing/relieving valve, which
can be infinitely adjusted across a prescribed range using a variable electric input.
Pressure output is proportional to DC current input. This valve is intended for use as
a pressure control device in demanding applications.

OPERATION
The EHPR08-33 allows free flow from ➀ to ➂ when no current is applied to the coil.
When the coil is energized, ➁ is connected to ➀. Increasing current applied to the coil
will increase the control (reduced) pressure proportionally. If pressure at ➀ exceeds
the setting induced by the coil, pressure from ➀ is relieved to ➂.
Note: Back pressure on port ➂ becomes additive to the pressure setting at a 1:1 ratio.

FEATURES
• 12 and 24 volt coils standard.
• Optional manual override.
• Industry common cavity.
• Optional waterproof E-coils rated up to IP69K.
