 4 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF DHU AND DHO DIRECTIONAL VALVES

Assembly position / location Any position for all valves except for type - 070* (without springs) that must be installed with horizontal
axis if operated by impulses

Subplate surface finishing Roughness index flatness ratio 0,01/100 (ISO 1101)
Ambient temperature from -20°C to +70°C
Fluid Hydraulic oil as per DIN 51524 .... 535; for other fluids see section 
Recommended viscosity 15 ÷ 100 mm2/s at 40°C (ISO VG 15 ÷ 100)
Fluid contamination class ISO 19/16, achieved with in line filters at 25 μm value to β25 ³ 75 (recommended)
Fluid temperature -20°C +60°C (standard and /WG seals) -20°C +80°C (/PE seals)
Flow direction As shown in the symbols of tables  and 
Operating pressure
For versions with proximity switches (/FI/NC and Ports P,A,B: 350 bar;
/FI/NO versions) maximum counter pressure Port T 210 bar
allowed on T port is 5 bar
Rated flow See diagrams Q/Δp at section 
Maximum flow 60 l/min for DHU; 80 l/min for DHO, see operating limits at section 

4.1 Coils characteristics

Insulation class H (180°C) Due to the occuring surface temperatures of the solenoid coils, the European standards
EN563 and EN982 must be taken into account
Connector protection degree DIN 43650 IP 65
Relative duty factor 100%
Supply voltage and frequency See electric feature 
Supply voltage tolerance ± 10%
Certification C UR US

5 NOTES
1 Options
A = Solenoid mounted at side of port B (only for single solenoid valves). In standard versions, solenoid is mounted at side of port A.
WP = prolonged manual override protected by rubber cap (standard for DHO models) - see section 12 .
L1, L2, L3 = device for switching time control, installed in the valve solenoid (only for DHU and DHO models).
For spools 4 and 4/8 only device L3 is available.
F* = with proximity switch for monitoring spool position: see tab. E110.
MV, MO = auxiliary hand lever positioned vertically (MV) or horizontally (MO). For available configuration and dimensions see table E138.

2 Type of electric/electronic connector DIN 43650, to be ordered separately

SP-666 = standard connector IP-65, suitable for direct connection to electric supply source.
SP-667 = as SP-666, but with built-in signal led.
SP-669 = with built-in rectifier bridge for supplying DC coils by alternate current (AC 110V and 230V - Imax 1A).
E-SD = electronic connector which eliminates electric disturbances when solenoid valves are de-energized.

3 Spools
- spools type 0/2, 1/2, 2/2 are only used for two position valves: single solenoid valves, type DH*-063*/2 and double solenoid valves type
DH*-070*/2 and DH*-075*/2.
- spools type 0 and 3 are also available as 0/1 and 3/1 with restricted oil passages in central position, from user ports to tank.
- spools type 1, 4 and 5 are also available as 1/1, 4/8 and 5/1. They are properly shaped to reduce water-hammer shocks during the swiching.
- spools type 1, 3, 8 and 1/2 are available as 1P, 3P, 8P and 1/2P to limit valve internal leakages.
- spool type 1/9 has closed center in rest position but it avoids the pressurization of A and B ports due to the internal leakages.
- Other types of spools can be supplied on request.

The diagrams have been obtained with warm solenoids and power supply at lowest value (Vnom - 10%). The curves refer to application with symmetrical
flow through the valve (i.e. P®A and B®T). In case of asymmetric flow and if the valves have the devices for controlling the switching times the operating
limits must be reduced.
