Note
If the MPA−S valve terminals are fitted with large surface
mounted silencers, the exhaust from channels 3/5, and
82/84 will be vented through the surface mounted
silencers.
Note
On the MPA−S valve terminals with exhaust plates, the pilot
exhaust is vented on at least one supply unit via connec
tion 82/84.
Fit the screw connector or the silencers according to the table
below. Then lay the tubing.
Note
Make sure that the proportional pressure regulator is sup

is necessary for good control quality. For a constant pres
