We just installed 12 of the RS CK6-D dual position gas powered valves, these valves have two pilots, both energized= valve closed, both de-energized = valve open Parker says pilot #1 off and #2 on = bleed. This doesn't work, its backwards the way I see it. It's like Parker has their literature wrong, or the valve is stamped wrong. Anyone using this valve? Any input?
Hi Jason
We have started using CK-2D valves which are basically the same valve I think. With the CK-2D the valve is open when both are de-energized and shut when both are energized, for bleed coil 1 is de-energized and coil 2 is energizer. This is how we have wired them up and they seem to work fine.
From the paperwork we have coil 1 operates on the main piston and coil 2 operates on the small or secondary piston. When you leave coil 2 energized and de-energize coil 1 the main piston can only open as far as the small or secondary piston allows.
Hope this makes sense.

You should have a regulation pilot somewhere on the RS valve, solenoid pilots are just that either open or closed. Seems odd to have two solenoid pilots. Energized pilot means fully open, de-energized means regulation on second regulatable pilot. Check the Hantech site for clarification of operation of base vav
Go to Parker's site and search CK-2D or CK-6d Parker Literature
I checked the site and spoke with Parker, couldn't get a straight answer out of them, they seemed to think they may have problems with their literature. Still awaiting a reply?Quote:
