Pull/Push DC Solenoids for Diesel Engines
RP Series
The Murphy Push/Pull DC Solenoids provide single
unit versatility for engine applications, such as
shutdown. One solenoid offers pull/push operation.
The RP Series has no internal switches, reduces coil
burnout and reduces adjustments while boosting
reliability. The solenoid offers high force in its small size.
It can be used with most engines’ start systems.
A choice of two models and two voltages is available. RP2309B & RP2310B
All models come complete with return spring and
rubber seal boot.
An SD85 Solenoid Drive Time Delay is also available to
greatly reduce possibility of coil burnout and to facilitate
low current-piloted operation.
Basic Models
RP2307B & RP2308B
Models RP2307B and RP2308B give a full 1 in. (25
mm) stroke at 11 pounds (49 N) and hold up to 27
pounds (120 N) at full voltage, continuous duty. They SD85 Solenoid Drive Time Delay
will operate at any stroke less than maximum; see chart
below. The SD85 is used when the solenoid is duty cycled
Models RP2309B and RP2310B can pull 17 pounds for short time periods such as two-position throttle
(75 N) with a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) stroke. They hold up to operation. It also provides enhanced operational
35 pounds (155 N) at full voltage, continuous duty. See control for normal on-off applications. Using the SD85
chart below for holding force at any stroke less than ensures the energize coil is only powered for one to
maximum. two seconds with each operation. If the plunger does
not seat in that time, it is highly unlikely it will seat. The
SD85 activates both coils of the solenoid for a short
time then de-energizes the Energize coil. The Hold-in
coil is energized as long as the signal to the SD85 is
active. This ensures long life of the RP solenoid.
Input voltage: 8 to 30 VDC. See chart below for current
ratings.

NOTES: SD85
1. Typical operating temperature for single 15 second operation
of the energize coil is less than:
140° F (60° C) ± 10° F (6° C) for 1 in. (25 mm) Stroke Sole-
noids (70° F/21° C rise above ambient)
120° F (49° C) ± 10° F (6° C) 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) Stroke Sole-
noids (50° F/10° C rise above ambient)
See CAUTION statement in Operations section on pre-
vious page and note maximum housing temperature is
185° F (85° C).
2. The energize coil should not be activated for more than 15
seconds. Longer energize coil activation times will damage the
solenoid.
3. Allow minimum 15 minutes for cooling between activations
of energize coil to avoid damaging the solenoid. (Depends on
length of time energize coil is energized.) Contact Enovation
Controls for high cycle rate applications.
4. The energize coil must fully seat the plunger to allow the hold-
coil to function properly.
