Re: Re-wiring 24V double solenoids
In the shipment of the late KOP pneumatics you should have received a bag of loose grey 12v coils. The other bags with the double and single solenoids all came with 24v coils installed.
I'd mark all the coils before you start so you don't easily mixup the 12 & 24v parts. Then remove all the coils (24v) attached to the SMC solenoids and replace with the loose 12v coils.

Quote:
- *QTY 2: Double solenoid valve, 24VDC (PN SY3240)
- *QTY 1: Single solenoid valve, 24VDC (PN SY3140)
- *QTY 5: 12VDC replacement coils (PN SY114-6LOZ)

* You must remove the 24V coils from the solenoid valves and replace them with the grey 12V coils before installing them on your robot. This is done by removing the mounting screws, and switching the 24V coils for the 12V coils provided. More information about these valves is provided in the FIRST 2007 Pneumatics Manual posted on the FIRST website: http://www2.usfirst.org/2007comp/other/2007%20FRC%20Pneumatics%20Manual.pdf
