377U Trip Valve
Figure 9 illustrates trip valve operation in the fail‐up mode. The fail‐up mode of operation is similar to the fail‐down
mode of operation except that the connections to port C and F are reversed. When supply pressure falls below the trip
point, the top of the actuator cylinder vents, and volume tank pressure loads the bottom of the actuator cylinder. The
pressure imbalance created forces the actuator piston up.
