Note 3) Impact resistance: No malfunction resulted from the impact test using a
drop impact tester. Test was performed one time each in the axial and right angle
directions of the main valve and armature for both energized and de-energized
states. (Values quoted are for a new valve)
Vibration resistance: No malfunction occurred in a one-sweep test between 45
and 2000 Hz. Test was performed in the axial and right angle directions of the main
valve and armature for both energized and de-energized states. (Values quoted are
for a new valve)

The surge suppressors fitted to the valve are intended to protect the
output device so that the surge generated inside the valve does not affect
the output device. External overvoltage or overcurrent might damage the
surge suppressor, the valve and the output device itself. Additional safety
measures should be taken to prevent the effect of overcurrent on the
valve and connected devices.
