  • DC solenoids may be installed in any position.
  • AC solenoids are prone to buzzing if they are not installed squarely in the application.
  • The plunger should only be used in the axial direction.
  • In order to achieve maximum service life solenoids should be loaded with at least 70% of the magnetic force.
  • It is imperative that voltage, ON period, temperature and protection be checked before a solenoid is operated.
  • If a neutral lead is required it should be fitted provided by the customer in compliance with VDE 0100.
