Re: Testing pneumatics?

I know when we were first trying it we were at the "Safe Low Pressure", but then we thought that might be the issue as Jason stated so we bumped the pressure up to 60 psig with no luck. These valves are not externally piloted or anything like that are they.

If using the plastic valve I should be able to just put pressure into the port 1 then energize it by either

Wiring A:
1 – Negative
2 – Positive
3 – Not required
Wiring B:
1 – Positive
2 – Not required
3 – Negative
(Seems to be two different ways of wiring depending on the type)

Using a 12 volt battery

and I should get the valve to move from its initial configuration of ports 1-2,3-4 to 1-4,3-2. Right?
