b.1 Electrical Connections
Figure b-1, 9 pin "D" Connector Pinouts for PSV-D Driver Module.
Important notes:
In general, "D" Connector numbering patterns are standardized. There are, how­ever, some connectors with nonconforming patterns and the numbering sequence on your mating connector may or may not coincide with the numbering sequence shown in our pin configuration table above. It is imperative that you match the appropriate wires in accordance with the correct sequence regardless of the particular numbers displayed on your mating connector.
Make sure power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting any cables in the system.
The power input is protected by a 1600mA M (medium time lag) resettable fuse. If a shorting condition or polarity reversal occurs, the fuse will cut power to the valve driver circuit. Disconnect the power to the unit, remove the faulty condi­tion, and reconnect the power. The fuse will reset once the faulty condition has been removed.
Use of the PSV-D valve driver in a manner other than that specified in this manu­al or in writing from Aalborg, may impair the protection provided by the equipment.

b.1.1 Valve Connection to PSV-D
Connect the two valve solenoid lead wires (E1 and E2) to pins 1 and 2 of the 9 pin "D" connector. There is no polarity on these connections.
b.1.2 Input Reference Signal Connection
Connect the desired analog reference signal input (0 to 5 VDC or 4 to 20 mA) to the appropriate pin locations on the 9 pin "D" connector of the PSV-D. The PSV­D will recognize automatically which signal is being provided. If both are connect­ed, the PSV-D will give priority to the 4 to 20 mA signal when that signal is greater than 2 mA.
(a) When using the 0 to 5 VDC reference signal, connect the POSITIVE side of the
reference to pin 5, and the NEGATIVE (ground) to pin 6 on the 9 pin "D" connector.
(b) When using the 4 to 20 mA reference signal, connect the POSITIVE side of the
reference to pin 7, and the NEGATIVE (ground) to pin 8 on the 9 pin "D" connector.
For optional RS232 or IEEE488 interfaces please contact your distributor or Aalborg.
b.1.3 TTL Signal Connection
The TTL valve ON/OFF control feature is not required for the device to function. Use of this SAFETY feature allows for complete de energizing of the solenoid valve to help ensure valve closure. If this feature is not used, a continuous supply of nominal power will be supplied to the solenoid valve.
When left unconnected on the 9 pin "D" connector, the device will default to the "HIGH" setting in accordance with the selected position of the jumper. The facto­ry default setting is LOW (0 VDC) = OFF and HIGH (5 VDC) = ON.
Table I TTL Signal Selection
To reverse this configuration, remove the square cap on the back of the PSV-D (see figure e-1). The 4th and 5th position determines the TTL logic configuration. The factory default setting is set with the jumper on position 4. Moving this jumper to position 5 will yield the reverse configuration [LOW (0 VDC) = ON and HIGH (5 VDC) = OFF] (see Table I).
The NEGATIVE (ground) side of the reference signal inputs is internally connected on the printed circuit board to power ground.
Jumper Setting (position) TTL LOW (0 VDC) TTL HIGH (5 VDC)
4 OFF ON
5 ON OFF
Always make sure that only one jumper is ever applied at any given time to either position 4 or 5. Connecting both at the same time may result in damage to the electronics, and improper control.
b.1.4 Power Connection
With the DC power supply source OFF, connect the power to the DC power jack OR the 9 pin "D" connector.
DO NOT CONNECT POWER TO BOTH CONNECTION POINTS AT THE SAME TIME. This may result in permanent damage to the power supplies and the PSV-D.
(c) DESCRIPTION
The PSV-D solenoid driver module is designed to regulate the power supplied to the proportional solenoid valve (PSV) based on a reference signal. A 0 to 5 VDC or 4 to 20 mA analog set point signal input is used as a reference to proportion­ally control the output power to the PSV valve. By increasing or decreasing this analog reference signal, the PSV valve volume of gases or liquids processed increases or decreases respectively.
(d) SPECIFICATIONS
Environmental (per IEC 664): Installation Level II; Pollution Degree II.
Connection: 9 pin male "D" connector for input/output signals.
Power Input: +12 to 30 VDC; 1A @ 12 VDC, 0.5A @ 24 VDC via 9 pin "D" connector or DC
power jack (center positive).
Input Signal: AUTO SELECT feature allows circuit to recognize which analog input refer­ence (0 to 5 VDC or 4 to 20 mA) signal is received.
For optional RS232 or IEEE488 interfaces please contact your distributor or Aalborg.

d.1 CE Compliance
Any model PSV-D bearing a CE marking on it, is in compliance with the below stated test standards currently accepted.
EMC Compliance with 89/336/EEC as amended; Emission Standard: EN 55011:1991, Group 1, Class A Immunity Standard: EN 55082 2:1995
(e) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
e.1 Preparation
It is assumed that the PSV-D has been correctly installed as described in section (b). Turn the DC power source ON. A pilot light on the front of the PSV-D will illu­minate indicating the device is active.
e.2 Maximum Output Voltage to Valve
As shown in Figure e-1, remove the square plug of the PSV-D for the access win­dow. Position 1, 2, and 3 on the header block determine the maximum output volt­age supplied to the valve. The factory default setting is 22 VDC (position 2).
Table II Maximum Valve Output Selection
CAUTION: If the valve is left in the active mode for an extended period of time, it may become warm or even hot to the touch. Use care in avoiding direct contact with the valve during operation.
Jumper Setting (position) Output Voltage to Valve (VDC)
1 15

The maximum output voltage supplied to the valve, can be set/changed in the field. Changing this will allow for optimal use of the input reference signal to out­put valve voltage based on the specific flow rate and operating pressure applied to the valve.
With the power ON, use Table II and Figure e-1 to make the appropriate changes as necessary. (Note: This procedure may not need to be performed. It is provided as an added feature to further customize your system.) Move the jumper to either position 1, 2, or 3, and use the adjacent potentiometer [P1] to make fine adjust­ments to the desired output voltage.
Always make sure that only one jumper is ever applied at any given time to either position 1, 2, or 3. Connecting two or more at the same time may result in damage to the electronics, and improper control.
e.3 Set Point Reference Signal
The PSV-D solenoid valve driver in conjunction with the PSV solenoid valve allow the user to set the flow to any desired flow rate within the range of the particular model installed. The PSV solenoid valve is normally closed when no power is applied.
The set point input responds to an analog 0 to 5 VDC or 4 to 20 mA reference sig­nal. Use this reference signal via the PSV-D valve driver to set the flow rate of the PSV solenoid valve.
e.4 TTL, Valve ON/OFF Control
It may, at times, be desirable to set the flow and maintain that setting while being able to turn the flow control valve off and on again. This can be accomplished by applying a (TTL compatible) high and low signal of +5 VDC and 0 VDC to pin 9 on the 9 pin "D" connector. The factory default configuration is set so that when 0 VDC (LOW) signal is applied, the solenoid valve is not powered and therefore will remain normally closed. Conversely, a +5 VDC (HIGH) signal applied will allow the solenoid valve to remain active. The solenoid valve will remain active when the VALVE OFF pin remains "floating". (To reverse this configuration, see section b.1.3)
Toggling the HIGH/LOW signal on and off will allow for activating and deactivating the solenoid valve. Remember: If the TTL signal line is connected, the valve will only function if the appropriate logic input is applied.
