The electronic Plug Top Driver (PTD) unit described here MUST be used and mounted in the manner described in this Information
sheet to fall in line with current regulations on EMC.
By issuing this document, High Country Tek, Inc are showing their commitment and due diligence to the rules concerning EMC from a
global perspective.
A reduced supply voltage will directly effect the valves maximum achievable performance figures regarding flow or pressure.
ALWAYS ensure that the P.T.D. is supplied with the nominal supply voltage as recommended by this literature and the valve coil
manufacturer to get the best results and full control range from the hydraulic product being controlled.
ALWAYS follow connection, application and usage instructions provided with this electronic unit.
ALWAYS ensure that ANY Earth connection is to clean, bare metal and NOT a paint finish.
ALWAYS ensure that NO High Power RF is used near or inside an open enclosure.
ALWAYS mount this unit such that any collected moisture or liquid will be able to escape.
This unit is CE compliant, flame proof but NOT intrinsically safe rated.
Use a Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) where possible for the supply voltage on these plug top drivers as they are designed to
work from multiple line voltages/frequencies ( 50 or 60Hz), can supply the high instantaneous current demands created by PWM
control of valve coils and have integrated filters for electrical noise.
