5.4 Valve variants
The valves are always permanently installed in a connecting block. This block is integrated
directly in the hydraulic unit. Both hose lines (pressure and return) are always connected to
the connecting block. The units are
¿ tted either with a SIMO or a 4POWER connecting block.
Both connecting blocks also have a TURBO function.
More speci
¿ cally, this means that there are always 2 device connections linked internally to
one another. A shift lever gives you the option of supplying hydraulic
À uid to both connected
devices simultaneously or supplying double the quantity to one device (= TURBO function).
Supplying double the quantity of
À uid increases the operating speed of the connected device.
The hoses and devices are always connected to the connecting block via mono-couplings.
On units with a hose reel, only the connection hoses between the hose reel and connecting
block are screwed in position.
CAUTION!
When operating several pieces of rescue equipment with one unit, ensure that
the usable volume of hydraulic
À uid in the reservoir is greater than the maximum
possible operating
À uid volume of all connected rescue equipment.
5.4.1 "Simultaneous mode" (SIMO) control valve
This valve enables the connection of two dual-acting hydraulic devices. The valve allows
you to operate two devices simultaneously and independently of one another or supply a
larger quantity of hydraulic
À uid to one device. Supplying a larger quantity of hydraulic À uid
increases the operating speed of the relevant device.
There are three switches available. The two smaller switches can be used to depressurise the
individual connections. The large switch is responsible for controlling the TURBO function.
5.4.2 "4POWER mode" control valve
This valve enables the connection of four dual-acting hydraulic devices. The valve allows
you to operate four devices simultaneously and independently of one another or supply a
larger quantity of hydraulic
À uid to a maximum of two devices. Supplying a larger quantity of
hydraulic
À uid increases the operating speed of the relevant devices. The TURBO function
can only be connected between the points either side of the large switch because the device
connections are linked internally.
There are six switches available. The four smaller switches can be used to depressurise
the individual connections. The large switches are responsible for controlling the TURBO
function.
The switches and connections are labelled to make them easier to assign to one another.
